    Poll: Representing the Political Centrists

    There doesn't seem to be a true voice who hold themselves in the middle between progressivism and conservativism, those who see a need for both equality and hierarchy, when it is appropriate. There is no section in RF for those who established themselves as centrists or political moderates. Yes...

    Unity within Religious Groups

    The Baha'i Faith is a very interesting religion. It allows its members to do virtually anything they want and remain a Baha'i. If you are gay and want to have a gay marriage, you cannot have a gay Baha'i marriage, but you can get married the secular way if your government permits it. There's a...

    Poll: Basic Theology

    Theism/Atheism - Belief in God axis. Gnosticism/Agnosticism - Knowledge of God axis. Pistevism/Apistevism - Faith in God axis. I'm really having fun making these polls in Interfaith and poking at the brains here in RF. Similar to my theology poll, this poll doesn't name specific theological...

    Poll: DIR Forums

    There is a thread in the intro forum here that asks which religion you are. I find several issues with that poll. It focuses on established religions and nearly 50% of people said either nonreligious or other, myself included. The DIR forums have a broader reach overall and pretty much everybody...

    Poll: Favorite Ways to Read Literature

    Since there is an entire forum here on RF dedicated to literature, I was hoping we could have a discussion on the ways people consume it. I have an Audible account and have several dozen audiobooks purchased, although I have only listened to a few of them in their entirety, I prefer the...

    Poll: Religious Rituals

    According to 25% of people from Religious Forums, rites and rituals are one of the most important parts of their religious practice. So, I'm making a thread dedicated to that exact premise. Listed above is nine very general religious rituals that are performed by many different religions...

    Night Time Music Streaming

    Hello everybody of RF. One of the persons in the Discord server I am on showed me a website, Robot Streamer, and I've decided that every night, between the time I go to bed to when I wake up, I'm going to have my laptop stream shuffled music from one of my Spotify playlists. The music is mostly...

    A Book That Asks Me Who I Am (Rather Than Telling Me What I Should Be)

    I was wondering if there is a book of sorts that acts like a spiritual journal. It wouldn't just be a journal to write things in. It would be pivoted towards spiritual and religious topics. Like the first page might ask the owner of it what their beliefs are called. But going deeper into the...

    Interaction

    I recently had said that monotheism is a contradiction because it is impossible to not be of the Universe yet be involved in it in so many ways. That's probably not true. I mean, look at the Internet. I'm interacting with all of you despite not being in your house. But exactly what does God do...

    Poll: Openness to Change

    Everybody and every thing changes. In fact, in Earthseed, God is change. However, some people are more willing to change their spiritual and religious beliefs than others. For some people, the religion they were raised in is the religion they stick to their entire lives. For others, religion is...

    Canada's C-11 Bill, the Online Streaming Act, Becomes a Law, So What Does the Average Canadian Think of It?

    My best friend is from Canada but doesn't get too involved in politics. In fact, we almost never talk about politics, whether generally, Canadian or American. I'm just curious though what Canadian RF users think of this law. It seems like when this law is put into affect big Canadian government...

    Shopping for Religion

    I was chatting with Chat GPT today. I asked it several questions about theology. First, I posed it the question: "what religions believe we are creating God?" It didn't list religions but rather the theologies posed in the ideas of panentheism and the cumulative concept known has process...

    I'm Writing a Memoir

    I'm writing a memoir about my life after I was diagnosed with mental illness. It's called History of Mental Illness, and documents parts of my life since I've been an adult. There's a lot of true information in this book, about myself, and about other people too. The book is split into two...

    Food Poisoning!

    I had food poisoning yesterday. I almost threw up a lung clearing it all up from my system. The last time I remember having food poisoning I was in fifth grade. My mom had to pick me up from school because I threw up twice. I didn’t want to miss school but they forced me to leave that day. The...

    Religion for Breakfast just published a video on YouTube detailing some statistics on religious affiliation in the national United States congress. If you want to watch the video it will be here below so you can see it. Apparently there are three major outliners in religious affiliation...

    Explaining Exaltism

    The idea for this thread came from this post I wrote myself on a different thread. I would like to use this thread for one very specific reason: to explain my religious beliefs, which I call Exaltism. This post that I wrote did some of this explanation, but since my beliefs change, grow, and...

    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...

    Your Political Status

    One of my favorite things about this website is that it gives you direct access to label your religion directly. A few months ago I purposed an idea which the same thing could be done but for political status too, to the admins and moderators of this website. It was shot down because this is...

    Poll: Which Parts of Religion Do You Focus On the Most?

    I had a book called Religion for Dummies written by a rabbi and in the book he splits religion into three equal parts. Beliefs, ethics and rituals. All three seem to be vital to sustaining an identity of a religion or a religious group. But I'm wondering what people here tend to focus on. I...
