This thread was inspired by @We Never Know 's thread you can check out here.
This is possibly the best video that helps explain what the term "religion" means. And yes, I know that what "religion" and being "religious" means are two different things, but both are intrinsically similar and...
Today I've been listening to the radio. Today's program was covering a trial in which a local man was convicted of over six life sentences. This individual killed six people and injured dozens more with his car. People are calling him a domestic terrorist and that he brought a warzone to a...
For a number of centuries now, academia has stormed the world of religion, analyzing and critiquing various religious traditions and texts. This research includes (but may not be limited to) literary and historic analyses in hopes of discovering connections between various ideas and their...
I hope Susan Gammage goes on to bigger and better things in life, but what a resource it was.
Dearly loved Friends,
For the past 15 years, I've had a LOT of fun researching topics of interest and sharing spiritual solutions to everyday problems with you, but all good things must come to an...
Howdy!
Being a cat I am ever curious. What do you want to share about your religion? What do you wish people would ask you about your religion? Are there any assumptions made that drive you nuts? What about common misconceptions you would like to correct?
I think I would like to share that...
Howdy
I have been thinking about the nature of truth and religion for a bit today so I decided I would type out my thoughts and share them. Some folks won't agree with the stuff I want to say and that is of course fine.
There is a subtle difference between the idea that all religions have some...
RF, Religious Fiction... I was wondering what Religious Forums thinks about fictional religions. Otherwise known as religions that everybody knows isn't reality. No, atheists, I'm not talking about any religion that's out there...
I bring this topic up because I have altered my signature to...
Part One: The Communities
I am putting this in Religions Q&A because while I do have part of the answer I don't believe I'll ever have a complete list of places online to worship with other people.
So my question I am asking the audience who is reading this thread is: Where are some places on...
This thread is an attempt to explain what convinced me that my independent faith, Exaltism, is reality. This might get long...
Exaltism as a word simply means an adherence to raise the status of things. Based on its pure etymology there shouldn't be much more to that. There is, however. We need...
There are currently eight billion people alive on Earth. The total amount of people to ever exist is roughly 80 billion. That means one out of ten people who were ever alive are alive now. Yet living prophets are so rare now. Why? All the prophets that seem to have existed are now dead. So why...
What is the framework of normality (norm)? This is the level of God's condonation of evil.
"Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?" Matthew 17:17.
In Paradise, it will be zero, but today's condonation should...
My relationship with God is extremely powerful. I have adopted the Syntheist view of theology and even named my God after it, which I coined the term The Synverse. If you want more detail on how I discovered this God, click the first link of my signature. Basically I see God as three things: The...
i recently discovered a little bit more about @Kharisym 's faith and it appeared to me to be almost identical to a religion that existed briefly in the 19th century. The Religion of Humanity. Auguste Comte invented that religion, established a few temples in France and Brazil, but never really...
Oh boy. To answer this question for myself...
Almost everybody in real life knows me as a pantheist. And the reason why I describe myself as a pantheist is because calling myself that is easier than explaining Exaltism, Syntheism, etc. "I am a pantheist and believe nature is synonymous with...
No third god. Love or hatred no third spirit. Spirit is God. Spirit of Love or spirit of hatred. Good or Evil -- no third god. Indifference is hatred. If I will be in danger, you will not save me, because I am nothing for you. It is hatred.
Since only biological females can become pregnant I offered an amendment to limit our federal pregnancy programs to biological females. All 50 Senate democrats voted against it. 2022 AD, Senator Rubio Press.
Atheist, is world becoming a bad place? And if yes, is it a good thing?
upon the earth...
Is it impossible for God to exist? If something is impossible, it is possible by a miracle.
Impossible miracles are possible through a miracle. Where did God come from? Miraculously,
He did not come. How can God be good and still have hell and cause the Great Flood?
Miraculously. How can God be...
When I talk to Christians they seem to have much of the same talking points, that is apologetics. If God exists why is there evil? To allow free will. I then argue from that point that there is no free will in Heaven, if there is no evil in Heaven. I digress. Most Christians seem to be equipped...
The 2021 Census was completed by over 90% of the population and thus returned useful data.
Religion was interesting.
I see this is a trend that was foretold, but there will come a time when people realise that Faith is the only way to help humanity.
What are your thoughts?
Regards Tony
Most people would say that faith and religion go hand in hand. That, if your faith is Catholicism, your religion is also Catholic. However, it is also known that many Catholics actively go against Catholic teachings as well. Half of all Catholics are pro-choice and half of those Catholics...
