    I have a project due for my religious studies class. Can you all help me by answering these questions

    What role does religion play in your life, and how does it influence your daily decisions and actions? Can you describe your understanding of the concept of God or a higher power? How do you perceive this entity's characteristics and relationship with humanity? How were your religious beliefs...

    Does Brahman(ब्रह्म) want anything or he is desireless?

    Does Brahman(ब्रह्म) want anything or he is desireless? Some Hindu philosophical systems say that Brahman is desireless, has no activity and he is only a passive observer. But if that is the case, how do the Upanishad say that at one time Brahman was alone and he was not happy, so he decided to...

    Is Every Possible Idea Already Taken?

    This is going to be a different type of thread. When I created the idea of Exaltism, I thought it was novel, new, fresh, until I realized that many religions incorporate their own exaltist attitudes and some religions, specifically those of the transhumanist origin - Syntheism, Terasem...

    How Close is Your Personal Belief System to the Religion You're In?

    Pretty straightforward question. I'll answer for myself. Earthseed has three basic beliefs: (1) God is change. (2) Shape God. (3) The destiny of Earthseed is to take root among the stars. My beliefs are essentially the same but more elaborate. I believe that God is what nature is becoming...

    Resources for Seekers

    Everybody knows there is the Bible for Christians or the Quran for Muslims, but I'm taking the time not to really include those for people who are still searching for their religion. Instead, I want to use this thread for people to know and understand scholarly, academic and particularly neutral...

    Does Syncretism in Religion Lose that Religion's Authenticity?

    The very end of religions DIR forums includes syncretic religions and the sub-forums Christian Wicca and Unitarian Universalism. Most of us should know what Unitarian Universalism is. It's essentially a religion of a big melting pot of faiths united in their common goal for progressive change...

    Double standards

    THE DEBATE ON THIS IS WELCOMED!!! Where do double standards come from? From a double conscience, two inner voices belong to two spirits: True God and satan. Confused people say that conscience is a vague concept, fulfilling the words ``distress of nations, with perplexity'' Luke 21:25. An...

    Atheism vs Theism

    If an atheist becomes more like Orthodox Christian (atheist becomes closer to Orthodox Christianity), then he becomes closer to any religion, e.g. pantheism, Islam, Catholicism, antropotheism, deism. Proof: Atheism is infinitely remote from any religion. Thus, the Pascal Wager has perfect...

    The Eternal Truths

    This topic is to discuss the posibility of each Faith having teachings that are at the core of all Faiths. It may be that as we discuss this topic, we may find that there are a great deal of clear harmonious beleifs and there may be some that are similar, but seen to be different in ones...

    When You See a List of Demons Do You Check Yourself For Them?

    Was just quickly looking up demons in Zoroastrianism to see if it has similar references, then just realized they're all character types that are talking about us, like all the other religions; yet I'm wondering when religious people read this, do they realize it is talking about themselves...

    The Power Of The Mind

    I posted a thread talking about this, but from the replies i saw i realized i should change a lot of what i said and say things more clearly, especially after the information i got. So here you go: "What you think you become"-Buddha Everything about you you're convinced of happens to you...

    "God" vs "Creator"

    In my opinion, each person deserves to believe in a specific God 'of his religion' to have a higher power to cling to in misfortunes, and there's no God of any religion. Just a creator. If there's one correct religion then more than 90% of people are going to hell. And God in all/most religions...

    Hello Everyone! My dad and I and how all started.

    Hi! I have been here before in 2010 under another username. I will introduce myself again: For several years my darling and most beloved father suffered from Alzheimer's. In 2009 we have to put him in a nursing home as it was very difficult to take care of him at home. It's only mum and I and we...

    How old is the Universe? And what is future of the universe?

    You don't have to speak solely from your religious views alone. Various religions, philosophies and ideas give different timelines and theories about creation and it's future. But do you take the timeline and theories given by your religion literally or figuratively? Buddhism and Taoism deals...
