    When is terrorism justified? Can taking away someone's rights be justified?

    When is it justified to use terror tactics to achieve a goal? When does it become the obvious next step to take hostages or plant bombs? Is it possible to threaten civilians and still remain justified? If you religion is being oppressed? If someone is mocking everything you hold sacred? Is it...

    Concept of Charity in Religion

    In Islam there is a requirement for Zakah, which is basically the rights of poor and needy people on wealth of the riches. I would like to know if there is any similar requirement in other religions which deal with charity and care for the poor.

    Is the United Kingdom no longer a safe place to visit?

    Seems like it was only a few years ago that Europeans were concerned about the level of random violence in the United States, visiting Disney World or wherever. Now there've been three (3) targeted attacks in the United Kingdom in the last two weeks. The latest: London Bridge: Van mows down...

    Not sure where to go from here? (questioning my religion)

    Hi I'm new to here, so really not sure if this is the right place to post this.. Sorry if it isn't. I was born into a Christian family, I definitely believe in God or a higher power but I can't help but question these beliefs I have grown up with. I have been reading about Islam and I have...

    A few random tidbits from the biography of Muhammad.

    Last night I randomly looked through the biography of Muhammad and found a few lines that were either messed up, funny or just plain ol weird. I randomly flipped to a page in my little biography of muhammad to read this line " It is foolish to blame the Muslims for the horrible consequences...

    Why Not Speak About Humanitarian Activity, Indeed?

    The Syrian blogger from Turkey asks why don't religious organizations say aloud about their humanitarian efforts to attract more popular support to humanitarian activity in Syria, Iraq etc.? Here is the link to his post: The Mercy Comes from Believers, Why Hide It? And here are some...

    IS there an eastern/pagan solution to our religious delimas?

    I've met people who were once Christians or Jews among other things that turned to eastern traditions or paganism because of the issues they have had with their original religion. I'm sure someone will be tempted to say "Well atheism was the original belief they had." because you aren't...

    Difficulties when it comes to Polytheism and me.

    I have come to discover that I rather like polytheism. Well at least certain gods from certain pantheons. The issue I personally have is actually believing in or doing anything with these gods when I can think of no rational arguments for said gods actually being a thing. It seems to me...

    Bias , monotheism, polytheism and arguments

    We all have our own personal bias whether we recognize it or not. We all have things we favor and we all have things we have personal issues with. Sometimes these bleed over into the arguments we will and won’t consider and why we agree with one side or another. I notice in myself a bias...

    Religious quizzes.

    I like taking surveys and doing these little quizzes online. AT one point I had even signed up with okay cupid just so I could keep answering their little matchmaking questions. Any way I had found a couple of these quizzes having to do with religion/spirituality/paganism and just thought I...

    Making contact with the Gods

    I was watching videos on various pagan traditions and there was a whole series of videos from different content creators on their matron and patron deities. People were more or less talking about having mother and father figure deities. They also talked about how they came to those deities as...

    Can God change his mind? in otherwords do things like christianity and Islam make sense?

    The God of Judaism is more or less the inspiration or supposed to be the same god the Christians and muslims worship. See here is the thing that gets me about that. Why would God randomly start new religions? Why is Christianity so different to Judaism? Why would god allow 3 new religions to...

    You ever thought about how difficult the spiritual can be to demonstrate or provide evidence for?

    To someone who likes evidence of something before he or she believes in something it's almost impossible to justify spiritual experience within their own life. Take Jesus for instance, give him all his miracles, give him all his works from the gospel and so on. Would this prove the god he spoke...

    What would history and religion in the west look like without Christianity?

    I have been wondering recently what the western world would look like without Christianity or without Christianity being the dominant religion? It could be argued that Christianity both divided Europe at times and united it at others. It's possible it was a bit of Christian unity that helped...

    Not every atheist is Stalin.

    I'd just like to point out that just because a certain group can be associated with a horrible event doesn't make everyone involved in said group responsible. For instance just because the Crusades were given legitimacy by the pope doesn't mean everyone in Christendom is responsible or that...

    Can you prove Islam is true or false? How?

    I've gotten so tired of not hearing arguments from muslims when I talk to them. Or at least arguments that aren't just straight up propaganda that anyone with eyes could easily see through so here. Please Muslims try to demonstrate that Islam is true . Don't just say "Muhammad was such a good...

    At what point is it just not worth discussing?

    AT what point do you stop discussing or debating with someone? I've talked to numerous people about all sorts of things and at a certain point it starts to seem to me that it's just not even worth going further. People get emotion or believe things so ridiculous that it's impossible to take...
