    Ask Kemetics/Egyptian faithed persons any question

    Nothing like eternal damnation, not in the Christian sense. Hearts destroyed by Ammit, yes. What happens with that, if there's any 'after' and how it lasts or doesn't, is as far as I know a mystery, and not of great concern because one would have to be übersinner to end up that way. It doesn't...

    Does religion impair vital critical thinking skills?

    I think the OP's question doesn't have a clear cut, applicable for everyone, or even most people, answer. It really depends greatly who is one as a person, what is their community like, the relationship of that community to other communities, the specifics of the religion in question and how do...

    Prayer Against Demons

    Respectfully, I doubt that mental illnesses are a fault of demons, or supernatural creatures - if so, certainly these beings aren't to be blamed for the perfectly physical parts of those illnesses. But I do understand how an underlying medical issue may lead to heightened sensitivity to spirit...

    Is Xmas offensive?

    It doesn't hurt to explain again or do reminders if it's still somewhat an issue relevant to understanding of some people, and something that keeps coming up in discussions.

    Judas Iscariot Sinner or saint?

    In my personal view, he wasn't either of those extremes, true disciple nor the greatest sinner out there. He had his role. Not everyone can lead by 'positive' example, not everyone can make the right choices all of the time, that doesn't mean their mark in history is not meaningful or that they...

    Is Xmas offensive?

    I was about to say. I get how people who don't know Greek may be easily offended, but there's really nothing offensive in sticking to other relevant languages than English :P

    "Reformed" Islam

    Framing certain notion of human rights as something modern, Western, specific to non-Muslim cultures, is islamophobic. Plain and simple. Muslim world had in many ways more evolved human rights understanding and practical implementation in times Christian world was yet far behind (examples...

    "Reformed" Islam

    Hi Icehorse, I'm really not sure I can come to any common discussion grounds with someone who's an islamophobe and is going to hurl those biases around. Again. Crime is another of the words that's loaded on their own, and has hugely different cultural connotations. My own reading of what you've...

    "Reformed" Islam

    Respectfully, that is fairly loaded opening for presumedly neutral topic, providing for biased reading (Islam as a whole being somehow 'bad') from the very start. Secondly, 'Islam' - that's so broad statement. What part of Islam are we talking about? Which specific practices? Of what specific...

    What are you eating?

    Noodles with some thai spicing. Yumm.

    Still lost after all these years

    Welcome. I'm sorry for your loss. I've been thinking, what are you hoping to achieve here, find someone with vaguely similar belief(s), get direction to streams that may be any alike and ideas where to look more, like-minded individuals to discuss your held beliefs with, listening ear from...

    Does Christmas have anything to do with Christ?

    I acknowledge the date (approximately similar) is important to several traditions and their messianic myths. It's not Christianity specific in my eyes, and the traditions around the date that even do stem from Christianity are really more about social bonding and national contexts than about...

    Do you consider yourself a Shaman?

    Spirit-worker, yes. Shaman, I try to stay away from it. It's useful in cases I need to introduce the concept to someone who doesn't have quite the same background, or share line of work. But I prefer to not use that term for cultural reasons and respect to cultures for whom that label is native...

    Do Athiests have morals?

    Atheists are people. People have morals; some sort of compass. If it's a good compass or not, productive to society or not, or helpful to themselves, that's up for discussion, but it's very much presence of at least some sort of morals.

    Hey, someone learning Welsh. Incredibly cool. Even though I'm more of an Irish/Gaelic enthusiast kid, I'm holding thumbs ups for you.

    Ask Kemetics/Egyptian faithed persons any question

    I don't understand why be asking quite a broad question, *in a religious forum*, and expect completely materialistic and non-spiritually oriented answer. What I don't understand yet more is why be automatically pushing 'normalcy' and 'modernity' on people and imply they are not enough of...

    What are you eating?

    Drinking coffee. I'm an addict to it, certainly mentally.

    Voodoo

    Actually, I'd disagree on the note that Haitian voudun emphasises posessions. While they *are* a big part, the honoring of lwa with other symbols, pictures, music etc, and the ancestors is an equally big part. I'd agree with the note hoodoo is not 'just' some sort of about magic, a lot of it...
