I cannot see anyone unseating @Revoltingest for as long as he lives. Though I know of a poster on another forum that puts his numbers to shame.

All I can tell you is that a donation will be made in @Spiderman’s name to the Benevolent Organization Of Bringing Shinto.

My goal is for Shinto to become the official Religion of the United Nations.

Because Shinto has no Doctrine other than belief in Kami, all Religions already believe in Kami. So there is nothing to argue about. I argue that Shinto is the common bond that all Religions have in common.

There are Shinto traditions of enshrining the Kami in a Kamidana (God-cupboard) or Honden (Room or structure closed off to the general public, only for the enshrined Kami), and Spirit-homes, but Shinto doesn't declare that people have to follow those traditions to be Shinto adherents.

Shinto has ancient texts and stories about Divinities, but none of them are considered to be without error, therefore there are no Shinto Scriptures.

The highest Kami in Shinto is not the creator and is a female. I figure as the Religion of the UN, we could simply call her Inanna, Our Lady of the United Nations. Inanna was the name of the Mesopotamian "Queen of Heaven" and politics, and Inanna means "Lady of Heaven". I think we can all believe that there are "Ladies in Heaven". So all people can pray to Kami (spirits) and all people can pray to their Inanna (Lady in Heaven) without contradicting any faith.

For those who only want to pray to a male Deity, fine. Shinto doesn't say you have to pray to any female. You are free in Shinto to pray to just the creator. So, Shinto is compatible with all Religions.

If there were a Religion of the United Nations, Shinto strikes me as the best, because there is also no known founder of Shinto, which makes it even more difficult to divide and argue over teachings of some founder. ;)

Well then, Shinto has something in common with Hinduism, also known as Sanātana Dharma, the ‘Eternal Way.’ Both religions do not have a known founder. Like in Shinto, Hindus cannot argue over who has the right interpretation of the teachings of the founder.

By the way, I hope you like the acronym of the Benevolent Organization Of Bringing Shinto. :)

I love your acronym. :) . I call it the "League of UR". U stands for United, and R stands for Religions. "League of United Religions."

Ur was also the city of Abraham, the Father of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

I respect and love Hinduism. I love Durga and Kali.

I still was under the impression that there are Hindu Scriptures like the Veda that can potentially lead to different interpretations, or arguments , or doctrines incompatible with other Religions.

In Shinto there are no Scriptures, and the only Doctrine is "belief in the Supernatural , and belief in (Kami/spirits/God/Angels)

The word for all supernatural entities is simply Kami in Shinto. Even Japanese Christians invoke God as "Kami".

So, all Religions who believe in supernatural beings already pray to Kami.

It strikes me as being compatible with any Monotheist or Polytheist Religion. So Shinto strikes me as a common bond among all Religions have, to unite them all to work together in unity.

I doubt it will ever happen, but it is still my dream. No more arguing or fighting. :)

I'm not saying Hinduism is inferior to Shinto by any stretch, just I question whether they both are as compatible with Christianity and Judaism and Islam.

Explain please i love to be educated.
Rolling element bearings (eg, ball, roller, needle) are usually
high carbon steel. Sometimes stainless. Sometimes ceramic.
Bushes (aka bushings) are a kind of bearing. They're made
of babbitt, brass, bronze, plastic, lead, wood, & perhaps other
materials. There are even more kinds of bearings, eg, air.
