    When Should Women Obey Their Husbands?

    This is easy. YES she should obey her husband in cases where he really do know more. Like if she is a trained librarian and he is a medical doctor and they talk about some medical issues where he really do know better. Likewise the husband should obey his wife in the reverse situation.

    Unintended gospels/spirutal music

    Most of us that listen to music have from time to time encountered music that moves us in a spiritual way but was originally intended for another purpose altogether. This is the kind of music that you may want to use for religious purposes thou it was not written with this is mind, it just...

    why do people misunderstand Islam

    It is common for people to mix up religion with culture. As culture may suggest a certain behaviour but it incorrectly get attributed to religion. One of the things muslims get blamed for is honour killings, but this is cultural. When we get hounor killingings in Sweden the perpetrators are...

    What If Your Country Becomes Islamic

    The only way Sweden could get an Islamic government that declare Sweden an Islamic state with the rules described by the OP would be through some kind of coup. Or they be a puppet regime placed there by a foreign power. If so, they would have no legitimacy and civil war/revulotion would breaks...

    I do not know if this is the right sub forum/tread but I feel the need to write something. I a currently stuck on a train, stopped by what appears to be someone that got ran over by said train. Judging by the surroundings I find it unlikely to be an accident thou at this point suicide are...

    Does Christmas have anything to do with Christ?

    Christmas may have replaced Saturnalia and in the Nordic countries the midwinter blot but Christmas have been given a connection to Christ, we are, or are at least supposed to celebrate Christ. That commercial powers have taken it over are just a sad reality. For me this is a season of family...

    Is Athiesm a Religion?

    Atheism is not a religion but of some reason, many people seem to believe it is. This is made worse by some extremist atheists that behave like it was a religion. There are crusading fundamentalist atheists out there with just about equal hatred for competing belivef systems as the religious...

    Do you think that the world is overpopulated

    We are indeed already commiting genocide against the nature, we are rapidly loosing biodiversity, we are polluting the world and the sea are massively overfished. Genocide have already begun and when people cannot feed them self, they will die. We need to take the initiative and start to use our...

    Do you think that the world is overpopulated

    The longer we wait with a massive depopulation programme, the less about contraceptives and sustainable consumption it can be and the more of extermination it will have to be.

    If halal food is not available, would vegetarianism or veganism be an acceptable alternative?

    Halal food have gone from practically unavalible to only in a few special shops to have those special shops everywhere like in the small town where I live. We also have halal food in our normal grocery stores nowadays. It must have been difficult to be a practising Muslim in Sweden forty years...

    Fictional Pantheons

    Indeed but they they are a good example of a fictional faith that are designed well enough to attract people for real. The Buddhism and Tao influences are how you make a fictional faith well designed, take something that already works and repac it. There is a reason TvTropes have the concept...

    Is slavery OK? EVER?? One Chrisitian thinks so...

    I suggest we simply dras the conclusion that slavery was common, in various forms in olden times but unacceptable now. If some religious texts gives descriptions of how to treat slaves, then that is no reason believe that you can have any. That form of "employment" are simply obsolete today...

    Does Anyone here support ISIS?

    I find it revolting that the term "ISIS" is used as a term for a terrorist organisation. That name are reserved for an ancient, and according to Wikipedia, among some pagans still worshiped Egyptian goddess. A goddess that definetly would not approve of the namestealing terrorists activities...

    Should Scotland be Independent?

    Now Cameron is in trouble. The Scots voted against leaving but Cameron promised them even more self government, something he didn't have a mandate to promise them. Still this promise most likely effected the outcome of the referendum. There will be an debate if it was enough to keep Scotland...

    Is slavery OK? EVER?? One Chrisitian thinks so...

    It was so long ago that I saw roots that I do not remember what became of those slaves but historically, many did indeed stay as paid workers.

    Is slavery OK? EVER?? One Chrisitian thinks so...

    Slavery was part of the reality in olden times. However keep in mind that just because a text set up rules for how to treat slaves doesn't necessarily mean that the text endorse the practice. It is like you are not meant to pee in an elevator, still some elevators have a drainage installed. So...

    Is the word African-American racist?

    And that is a bad thing. America is a continent, or double continent if you wish just as afrika is continent not a country.
