Granted, this "news" is more than two years old, but I learned about it only today. I found it noteworthy that former "angel therapist", channel medium and New Age author Doreen Virtue became a born-again Christian in 2017. She had made a fortune writing several dozen books, usually with "The...
I'm a philosopher at heart. To the degree that it's a bit embarrassing when someone asks me what I do for fun because I spend most of my time thinking about, reading about, and attempting to do philosophy. Which makes religion and religious belief of great interest to me.

Based upon what I've read in popular media and the news, when a Christian is referred to as a "fundamentalist," it typically means that the Christian is socially conservative. Although no description can apply to everyone, it seems that a typical "fundamental" Christian might be in favor of...
Can "My BeliefSystem = the only way" ever be "The Truth"?
Truth = That what does not change and is the same for all [IMO]
To illustrate this:
"1 + 1 = 2", can it be "The Truth"? Maybe in octal/(hexa)decimal counting, but not in binary.
"My BeliefSystem = the only way", can it be "The Truth"...
Refugee: What is the impact on a Muslim. According to Koran?
I am curious how Koran experts solve this problem.
Koran 5:51:
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then...
Koran: 5:51 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily God guideth not a people unjust.

“God did not create man in his own image. Evidently, it was the other way about, which is the painless explanation for the profusion of gods and religions, and the fratricide both between and among faiths, that we see all about us and that has so retarded the development of civilization.“

Christianity seems to have become polarized. For example Christianity and science seem to be clashing; global warming being the most known example. There doesn't seem to be conflict with Buddhism and science with the dalia lama stating ''If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then...

If any sort of theological position is to be proven using the Bible, then it must follow that the Bible has to teach that only the Bible is the source of theological truth. What would you say if someone said that Sola Scriptura is unbiblical?
