Disclaimer: I love animals (friends with a Cane Corso Italiano) and plants, but I hate the system they are all trapped in.

I don't understand why people worship nature. I think they mostly do it because they have romanticized nature. Many people live in big cities, so they miss nature, they can get their basic needs met and don't have to worry about predators, very sick and disabled people are locked away in hospitals, so they don't see the cruelty of nature.

Yes, nature is beautiful. Yes,...

I was just curious enough to check out a video that popped up in my feed earlier, thinking I'd spend no more than a minute watching it.

As it turned out, my forecast was about as accurate as that time I first heard about genetic engineering and became so excited I took out a second mortgage to invest with a traveling band of professional toenail painters who had convinced me their plan to engineer designer house cats whose fur would glow in the dark like some jellyfish do was actually...

According to Baha'i faith do animals go to the spirit world after death?

If Christianity is the truth then Judaism is also the truth, Why? Because Judaism is the original, first Abrahamic religion. Without Judaism, Christianity would never have existed.

This also applies to Islam and the Baha'i. Without Judaism, the two religions would not have existed. Therefore, Judaism is definitely the truth

What do you think about that?

This is a question for those who believe in a personal God:

What reasons you think of for why you need God in your life?

For me, in God I have an additional parent. Which is good!

We're not talking about the science of the virgin birth, but the virgin birth of science.

Which is an astounding ancillary to the fact that we're thus associating the birth of science with the birth of God. All the billions of years of prior history have been the gestation of God. Or perhaps the development of his body. But the modern scientific endeavor, verging on the birth of AI, is no longer the gestation of God (or the development of his body), but the actual birth --- the arrival ---...

This Pew Reseach Center report is titled "In US, Decline of Christianity Continues at Rapid Pace". I've added the emphases in the quote below.

"The religious landscape of the United States continues to change at a rapid clip. In Pew Research Center telephone surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019, 65% of American adults describe themselves as Christians when asked about their religion, down 12 percentage points over the past decade. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated share of the...

Christianity better be neutral on politics.
Jesus wasn’t a politician either, I think.

Christians should focus on evangelizing and doing social work (or both), as I see it. Politics, as I see, is a distraction. Christians should focus of what they are good at.
Especially after Donald Trump turned out to have a dubious stance on democracy, Christians should learn from that and stop openly favoring one party only.

In Germany, churches have supported Hitler in many cases and Christians should...

Yesterday, as I was arriving from the market after buying a pair of slippers, I stopped at a scenic place full of greenery and with young buffalo calves tied to trees. As I was enjoying the scene I found that there was a slaughterhouse in a nearby building and the animals were actually meant for slaughter.

Having seen a few youtube videos recently on the brutality of animal slaughter in slaughterhouses, I sympathized with the young calves and felt sorry for them. One of the calves...

Christianity, Islam and Baha'i and allegations some of the Jews tried to kill Jesus.

Since the precise details of what really happened to Jesus seem not to have survived from history other than from polemical discourse.

Does it make sense to charge some of the Jews with either being murderers or attempted murderers given there is no historical evidence that the polemics are true (in my opinion)?

Would you similarly charge someone else with such a serious crime on the basis of a...
