    I'll go with option #1, wait for science to find out.

    Is Easter

    I think you have to allow for Christianity evolving. For example, the apostles were Nazarenes--Jews that praciticed second temple Judaism while also believing J was the messiah. IOW they kept the 613 laws, and honored the various Jewish holy days. So while they didn't have Resurrection...

    Science has not reached any conclusion on the matter.

    Or maybe they were the farthest from it with Maya.

    Spiritual Evidence and Proofs of God’s Existence

    I am not opposed to belief. I'm just saying that you cannot prove religious beliefs. Do you see the difference? For example, you cannot prove or disprove the existence of God -- there is no definitive scientific observation or logical rational that proves one way or the other. But you can...

    Ex-Christians: How do current Christians treat you?

    Irrelevant. A fallacy is a fallacy.

    Ex-Christians: How do current Christians treat you?

    Did you look up the fallacy and read up on it? Here is is, for your convenience: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman#:~:text=No%20True%20Scotsman%2C%20or%20appeal,by%20excluding%20the%20counterexample%20improperly.

    May I Ask, What Religion Are You?

    True, but that's horribly inconvenient.

    May I Ask, What Religion Are You?

    It is a terrible shame that the new software no longer lists a person's religion or philosophy. It makes people harder to understand because we lack context for their remarks.

    Not Christianity, But Something Similar...

    Well, yes. Anytime you do something unique to yourself, no one is going to understand you unless you take the time to explain, because there is no label for it to give anyone a shortcut. Case in point, the US has two main parties, Republicans and Democrats, and a handful of what we call third...

    Spiritual Evidence and Proofs of God’s Existence

    When we speak of evidence, there is only a few types that are legitimately evidence. The first is empirical observation, the foundation of scientific method. The second is good logic. The problem with "spiritual proofs" is that they violate the rules of logic, thus are worthless. There is a...

    Your Principle Scripture

    The principle scripture of Judaism is the Torah, but it is important to also understand that the Oral Torah is what helps us interpret the Torah -- you can't really be "just Torah." The Torah is the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. They are...

    Not Christianity, But Something Similar...

    It is not uncommon in this day and age for people to compose their own personal religions. Such religions don't have names, unless you want to give it a name. You can call it Ethanism or anything else you want. But it's your private religion. It is not an example of some organized religion.

    Ex-Christians: How do current Christians treat you?

    This is a logical fallacy known as "No true Scotsman." Look it up.

    May I Ask, What Religion Are You?

    Given that Christianity condemns witchcraft, it is impossible to be a Christian witch. However, sometimes people form new religions be combining elements from two or more different religions, like with Voodoo. Perhaps you are engaging in this sort of syncretism.

    Sounds like we are on the same page then. Be well.

    The history of religion

    I would agree that religion is a specific form of philosophy, one that includes supernatural beings.

    The history of religion

    If you are going to try to pretend that there are no variations of Buddhism that believe in buddhas as supernatural bneings, then I have nothing to say to you. Not all opinions are equal, and some things are just common knowledge. People PRAY to Quan Yin, for example. See you later, gator.

    The history of religion

    For those versions of Buddhism for whom the buddhas are supernatural beings (and there are many) they are religions. For the form of Buddhism where the Buddhas are simply dead and buried, it is a philosophy.
