    Long Distance Marriage

    It's been a really long time since I was on here, but I remember the discussions fondly as being very respectful. So I know there is a lot of wisdom on here. I married my lovely wife 9 months ago, the girl of my dreams in school. We knew going into it that it would not be easy. No sooner did...

    Meet the Parents

    I used to frequent these forums when I was younger, and it's been a pretty long time since I've been on. But I thought it would be a decent place to pose this question given my previous positive experiences here. I'm in my early 20s and I've been dating a wonderful girl for a while now...

    Returning Home?

    I was raised in a moderate Catholic family and have grown with a solid upbringing. I have no complaints about my parents. When I was maybe 13 years old, I dismissed the faith I was raised in as a sham and went searching. At 14, I was a fervent atheist and me along with most of my other...

    A Brave New World

    Well, let me start by being completely honest. Before I left for college this summer, my friends would have described me as someone who had sex on his mind just a little too much. Nothing really out of the ordinary for a guy 18 years of age, but since I usually got off from my job at a...

    Sex And America

    For all the Americans here, do you feel as though sex is not discussed enough in America. It is such a taboo and hush-hush subject, that it is rarely mentioned either at school or at home. The only form of education on sex I received in school was a week long abstinence class. It was a laughing...

    Rebirth Confusion???

    I hear many different things about rebirth/reincarnation. I have read that it has to do with previous and future lives. At other times, I have heard it is that we are ever changing never the same as we used to be. For instance, I am the same person I was yesterday, but still different...

    Angulimala

    I found this really cool story about the Buddha meeting up with what would be a modern day serial killer. (Angulimala) I found this to be a touching story.:) http://accesstoinsight.org/canon/sutta/majjhima/mn086.html

    Writings of/on Buddha

    I am curious to know if the Buddha ever wrote anything; any literature of some kind with a lot of what he said in his sermons or just about himself. If not, can any of you refer me to any good books about the Buddha? Not just Buddhism, but specifically about his life; where he went, who he...

    Encounters with Anti-Semitism

    Is it something you see a lot of? Do you think it's gotten any better? At my school, I have noticed a lot of kids my age who are very anti-semitic. What can you attribute this to? Maybe it comes from the parents, but mine have quite often made mean remarks about Jews and I have no problem...

    The War of The Gods

    I wrote this as I sat outside watching some birds. I felt inclined to write about religious tolerance. This is directed not to any particular religion, but instead to all beliefs or lack of them. Hope ya like!:) B. Ridley

    Disobedience

    Do what you're told! Don't break the rules! Don't question authority! These are common commands given to just about everyone at an early age. But are any of them constantly valid or absolute? Is there a rule that is absolute? Almost every rule, law. or command, has been broken...

    Islamic Vegans?

    I have noticed that several Muslims on this site are vegetarians and seem to oppose animal slaughter for food. Is this common with many Muslims? And is it true that in the Islamic religion, that meat may only be eaten if it has been sacrificed in the name of Allah? Thanks for the input in...

    For Non-Violence

    I am asking for all to pray, meditate, think, or whatever your preference be against violence. And pray for those who use it and those who are victimized because of it. And pray for those who stand against violence. For those who fight it with violence and those who turn the other cheek. For...

    Turning The Other Cheek (urgent)

    Well, I did not know I could take a punch until today. Mossburg and I were riding our bikes down a trail and then walked around a ravine. (I have traveled this park for about 11 years or so. It is a great place to skip rocks, ride bikes, explore nature, meditate, and last of all, get the...

    Christian: Faith and Good Works

    This question is to all Christians of any denomination... What do you think is the most important part of your salvation. Is it your faith or your good works. I think Paul said faith without works is dead, but how about works without faith? Does it work? Is faith necessary for good works...

    My Age of Questioning...

    This would fit in discussion but I may debate responses so I figured it would suit better here. Over the past year, I have come to question just about everything that I one held true. The very foundations have been shaken. Most collapsed. I am now rebuilding the core foundations of my...

    Human Supremacy

    Do you think that humans are the supreme being of this planet? I mean obviously we rule the place but are we naturally the supreme beings like because of our status, should we place ourselves superior to animals or any other living being? Are animals inferior to us? For this thread, I would...

    Quakers

    Does anyone have any links about the Quakers religion and their origin? I know little about them and have not come across anything about them here. I am having a hard time finding anything about them on the web. Any sites or pages about them would be appreciated.
