Bi-Religious

[Fool]

Are bi-religious people outcasts because their beliefs are incompatible? or are they like bi-racial people, discriminated against based on the outward forms of their belief, and not their actions?

isn't pretty is, as pretty does?

I dunno. Depends on the community. Pluralists like (some) Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and many Sikhs (usually anyway) don't seem to care. Or consider it very impolite to ask. Syncretic religions and many moderate liberal Christian sects also don't care. Opposition usually comes in the form of any person unwilling to allow for multiple paths.

Incompatibility between religions is a strange topic. It is certainly not automatic, and it is quite often ignored outright by whole communities.

I have to say that I've received a whole lot of flack from the Luciferian and LHP community regarding my Buddhism and even regarding my Feminism, and even occasionally about my mystic tendancies, but haven't received anything negative from the Buddhist community regarding my LHP and feminist activities. (I guess goats are every bit herd animals as sheep are.)

I recommend the book "That's Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist" "On being a faithful Jew and a passionate Buddhist" by Sylvia Boorstein.

I recommend "Letters to a Buddhist Jew" by David Gottleib and Akiva Tatz on the difficulties of being a faithful Jew and a passionate Buddhist.

This is something I wonder a lot about since I haven't found a single religion I can get behind wholesale, but something in my analytical mind keeps telling me that eclecticism misses the point of having religious beliefs. The struggle...

I'm bigender (I have two distinct genders in the same body) and literally existing as a walking contradiction where I can't physically present outwardly what I know to be true about my identity gives me evidence that some type of compatibility, even if it's only mutual acceptance of the other religion's existence, has to be able to exist in a single person's life (and can easily be targeted by people who accuse them of hypocrisy)
