    Does it Matter?

    In the event of personal hardship or illness, does it matter who prays for you? For example, if you are Christian and wish for people to pray for you, should those prayers exclusively come from Christians? Or if you are a Hindu, does it matter if a Muslim offers to pray for you? In your...

    My study notes about the topic Salaat in the Quran - i found what Salaat is, and how many times etc.

    So i did a word for word study on Salaat/Prayer and found out: Salaat in Arabic means to follow something closely. The Arabic meaning of the word fits the context of the Quran if you pay attention! Salaat/Prayer is a Book that is scheduled, 3 times per day, in the morning, afternoon and evening...

    Does it matter at what time of the day one does puja?

    Vanakkam, I'm having a mini mental breakdown right now, because a friend of mine (who refers to himself as a proud beef-eating atheist, but that's another matter) asked me why I do puja "so late at night" and not "in the evening like normal (sic) Hindus". For convenience's sake I got into the...

    Do You Bow Your Head?

    At my daughter's graduation party, my ex-wife's husband (who is a devout Christian) asked a guest who is a pastor at his church to lead a prayer before food was served. As the prayer began, I glanced around to room to see who was listening, who had their head bowed, and who had the expression...

    What does it mean to appeal to the pleasures of God in prayer?

    I see in Psalm 51, it starts with appeals to mercy and bases it on God's character particularly on the word hesed, God;s loyal lovingkindness. In this case not on God's justice The Psalm moves to asking for a new heart, a new nature as he was born in sin. Last, the psalm ends to even appeal to...

    Complexity/Simplification of Religious/Spiritual Practice

    Scripture or Experience?

    There are those that claim that religious truth is found in Scripture, be it the Bible, the Quran, The Bhavagad Gita, the Principia Discordia, or other sacred texts. My question to you is this: Is it better to learn from a subject's biographer, or from the subject Him/Her/Itself? In other...

    Elephant in the room - should a pope have a pet elephant?

    Seems the pope in the time of Luther was given a pet elephant named Hanno and was quite attached to Hanno. Sadly Hanno was sickly and the popes doctors try as they may could not revive Hanno but gave Hanno gold to eat in the hopes of causing constipation and reviving poor Hanno... to no...

    How do you send prayers to someone?

    Whenever someone experiences a profound loss or setback, people tend to say that they are "sending prayers your way," or "sending my prayers to you," etc. I know that the basic intention behind this is to show support for those who are in a tough situation, and I'm all for that. But, I wonder...

    Prayer Experiment

    So the idea here was to have a little prayer experiment to determine whether or not the feeling I have gotten of peace after praying is just a placebo. This is not a definitive test but it is certainly a beginning. Right off the bat it should be stated that we won’t be praying for any specific...

    I often stop and try to reflect on the things I do, the things I think, and the things I want or intend to do. It's occurred to me that this whole searching for faith thing goes in a big cycle. Every few months I try to take a crack at it hoping I will find something that will make the...

    Can you gain faith by praying?

    What I mean is could someone like me who doesn't believe in any sort of supernatural entity whether it be a ghost or God gain faith by praying? How exactly would that work?
