    Are we wasting our lives?

    This thread is in Science and Religion as it is about Truth and how each of us chooses to find, 'what is Truth'? I seem to attract quite a few warnings for trying to convert people to my faith, even when I say repeatedly that I can not, do not have the ability to convert any person and do not...

    Spirit or Superstition?

    In my new book [The Genesis Wheel ~ out 1st August] I argue that many of the so-called miracles and supernatural happenings in the Bible are not true accounts, but are there because of underlying gematria calculations the scribes were setting down. I write: "From the burning bush to the...

    For everyone - 'The BIG PICTURE'.

    The question is simple, what do you see as 'The Big Picture, either based in your thoughts gained from your Faith, or if you have no Faith, thoughts of what man can achieve. I will post what I see in the future that will most likely unfold from what I understand in the Baha'i Faith as the OP...

    I would rather be dead.

    :D What I would like to discuss here is the sharing of your Faith. How would you feel if you could not talk about your Faith? How do you feel when you can not have in depth discussions about your Faith? My answer to those 2 questions is the OP, it is also the same answer if an attempt was...

    New Here: Christian to Agnostic

    My husband has been on these forums for a few years. I have enjoyed hearing stories of debates and him being able to be free in discussion, which I feel is only a new thing between us since I am evolving. I was born into a non-denominational Christian home and it was all I knew. I "accepted...

    God - Is this knowledge the ultimate aim?

    Throughout history mans Faith in God has been well documented. It is apparent that the a belief in God/s, in many various practices can not and will not be eliminated from the mind of man.

    May all have a Christ filled Christmas

    I wish all Christians all the best in life and on this day of celebrating the birth of Jesus the Christ, all the best Faith can give. May God bless you always.

    How can we be sure that there is a God? Lets use evidence instead of wanting Him to be there.

    I read the Quran, Gospel, Tora and i am reading the Avesta, and doing research about the Vedas. In the Quran there is are verses about science which i wonder how they could be written 1400 years ago. These verses are being proved to be true in just the last 200 years. For example, a prophecy...

    All things we do are of faith?

    Today I was pondering faith and came to the conclusion that all things we do are of faith whether we outwardly label them as "good" or "bad". As man see's it, a person either acts out of "unbelief" or "belief". However, is "unbelief" even a real thing? I propose that "unbelief" is merely the...

    God: Do You KNOW Him or Do You BELIEVE in Him?

    What is the difference between knowing God and believing in God? Does the former require an experience in which you have actually encountered God and the latter having not experience but only having faith in His existence based on what you've read or have been told? What does it take to know...

    Accomplished Teacher or Mystical Experience?

    Given the subjectivity of faith and religion, is it best to learn religious and/or spiritual knowledge from an accomplished teacher or through mystical experiences? Why? From which would you consider knowledge to be more valid? Why? For the purposes of this thread, we will define...
