    The Most Important Thing

    If you had to explain to a curious friend only one thing about your religion, the thing that you consider to be the most important aspect of your religion to the exclusion of all else, what would you tell your friend and why?

    Talking About Religion

    Is talking about religion even worth it? Does anything positive ever come out of it? Or do people just like arguing? (In the same way that they enjoy watching violent movies and events).

    There Is Nothing

    There is no truth, and there is no morality. There is only the illusion of such, and this illusion occurs as a result of our hedonistic tendencies, our desire for pleasure and our fear for pain. Belief in truth and morality are the products of desire. Of course, our desire for pleasure and fear...

    Being Pagan

    Does being pagan make you feel special? What about when you do rituals or activities involving divinity in some way? Special is a subjective term. What I am asking is if you feel better about yourself because you are pagan. What do you think?

    Morality: Five Precepts

    So, no killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, or drinks and drugs that cause heedlessness. I don't really understand the Five Precepts. Why do they exist and what exactly do they mean? First, no killing? Of course this applies to humans, and some places I have read to non-human animals...

    Deprivation

    I have been thinking about why people are so stressed and depressed, especially people who live lives of luxury. We have images of "beautiful", "intelligent", "athletic", "successful" people, and then we have ourselves, and we compare ourselves to those images by expecting ourselves to be like...

    No religion for me?

    I am unable to adhere to only one religion. It appears there are two kinds of religions in existence. First, there are those religions which try to calm us and get us to accept the fact that no matter what we do, life is full of and ends with suffering, decay, dying, and death. These type of...

    Surrender or Control of Ego?

    Is Nirvana the surrender of the ego or the control of the ego? Specifically, should a Buddhist attempt to let go of their attachment to desire and thus cease to crave, or should that Buddhist attempt to control their attachment to desire in order to let go of the attachment to desire and...

    Worship God/s?

    Lets say, for the sake of argument, that a god or gods do exist. If that is the case, why should anyone worship them? Are we morally obligated to worship god? What would be wrong with ignoring god?

    Is Atheism necessary to live subjectively?

    Several of the existentialists, especially Sartre, place a high emphasis on living subjectively. First, do you think its important to live subjectively, or can we be perfectly happy thinking of ourselves objectively. Examples of objective ways to think of ourselves would be to think of ourselves...

    Hello (What a Newb)

    Hello forum-goers, I'm either a very religious person or a very unreligious person. I'm interested in Buddhism, Taoism, Wicca and Paganism, Satanism/Setianism, and Christianity to some extent. I agree the most with Mahayana Buddhism, but I can't adhere to it alone. I cannot find any one...
