I exchanged thoughts with @Samael_Khan
The topic was:
"why does Christianity gets so much hate?"
One fact was clear:
Many Christians believe "our Religion is Superior"
(This might have its root in John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father...
I am not a Christian but I still like Christmas music. I put this thread here for those who are not Christian as well as Christian but want to contribute their favorite Christian music. I have a couple of Enya selections.
This second one is "Silent night" in Gaelic.
As a potential political leader, one of my great ideas is the creation of the CBA (Christian Buddhist Alliance). Christians and Buddhists have been targets of the socialists for generations. This will help the two heavily persecuted religious groups unite together to purge the enemy of Socialism...
I'm a Southern Baptist PK, my world consisted of my dad, the church and god. I was baptized by my dad at 6yrs old, it was the thing I could do get my dad's attention or approval. I went to church all the way through high school, went to bible retreat vacations sponsored by whatever church my dad...
Why this story showed up in Yahoo Sports heaven only knows. A California city is trying to block a Christian group from feeding homeless people. Now, the DOJ is weighing in.
Some people want to identify religion as a right-wing thing. But in this case the Democratic Biden administration has...
Howdy! I just felt like writing this out and figured I'd share it here. Hope you like it.
The Tea Gathering
I once awoke to find my room filled with so many of my great loves. Jesus sat beside Buddha who sat beside Nanak who sat beside Rumi who sat beside Eckhart who sat beside Zhuangzi who...
Howdy!
We like to divide the world up into categories. This is to simplify communication among other things. If we had to be exact with our words in every case communication would take a ridiculously long time. The issue is that the categories and meanings we have in our heads tend to not all...
Howdy,
Recently I have been thinking about the prolifiration of ideology and religion within the world and how various people view truth. I have studied various religious traditions and ideologies over my lifetime and what has occurred to me is that there is no one path which fits ever being...
Which parts of the Bible are literal/historical and which parts are figurative/metaphorical? I have only read Genesis so far, and don't know much about Christianity.
Hello!
I've been slowly getting into Christian music ever since my friend shared me "Wherever I Go" by Dan Bremnes. Would love to see what everyone can recommend and thank you for your recommendations.
Muslims, Bahai's, Christians, Some Hindus, and even a few Jews, quote sayings of Jesus as if they are historical sayings of Jesus himself. Of course most Christians would definitely believe the New Testament has his sayings in some form or another. Some believe they are absolutely verbatim...
Jesus Christ explained by brother Bronson (Jesus Christ is a Man 1 Timothy 2:5, Jesus Christ is a prophet Deuteronomy 18:18, Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God Matthew 16:16-17, Jesus Christ is GOD John 20:28-29, Hebrews 1:8)
I believe religious people frequently employ the cycle of abuse as a method for indoctrination and inculcating unquestioning devotion. I feel there is a strong parallel between indoctrination and the cycle of abuse. I have confidence that this practice causes emotional, physical, and...
POWERFUL BY FAITH!

Hello, I'm new to online forums. I chose this one specifically because I think it is very thought provoking. I love understanding and questioning different religious beliefs. I hope to have a debate that is robust, intriguing, and intellectually honest. I'm happy to debate anyone from any...
When it comes to homosexuality, there seems to be two primary points of view: You are either born this way, or you choose it. I am convinced that it is not a choice and that almost anyone can be convinced its not a choice in very short order. Are there any Christians here who still think its a...
Which one is a Cult? A or B?
'Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.' (1 Corinthians 15:24)
A. Trinitarians Claim that God hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father
B. Christians Claim...
