Hello!
I used to go to this forum a lot between 2012-2014. I've decided to return out of a new spiritual search. Back when I went here a lot I was very sure about my beliefs, now I'm much less so. And I'm probably more open minded and less prone to endless debating as a result of this...
Hylian religion is centered around the three golden godesses Din, Nayru and Farore. Together they created the world and then left a portion of their power in the holy Triforce, a three-piece object that can grant wishes. The current whereabouts of this item are unknown, but it's possible that...
Hello, RF. The summer solstice is coming up, and this thread is where we all share recipes and inspiration for food that is, or should be, part of the summer solstice celebrations!
Here in Sweden, the food most commonly consumed around the summer solstice is new potatoes and pickled herring...
I'm mostly interested in watching something about new religious movements, new age or charismatic Christianity. Anything about Mormonism or Jehova's Witnesses would be fun too.
Any recommendations?
I couldn't find any threads about this that were not in DIRs, so I figured I'd make one.
Post pics of your altar, place of worship or place of meditation! At home or at your temple/church/etc. Open for all religions!
Here's where I meditate:
And here's the "altar".
What substance(s) exists?
Physical monism: Only one substance exists and it's physical.
Idealist monism: Only one substance exists and it's mental/spiritual.
Neutral monism: Only one substance exists and it's neutral.
Dualism: There are two substances, physical and mental/spiritual.
Pluralism...
Creationist often state that while microevolution is possible, macroevolution is not. What mechanism prevents it? Why can't a species evolve past it's "kind"? There must be some kind of genetic barrier or similar to prevent this, so could you provide evidence of it?
So, here's what I want you...
Monist physical / naturalistic
There is one substance and it is physical. Commonly called naturalistic pantheism, scientific pantheism, religious atheism and sexed-up atheism.
Monist idealistic
There is one substance and it is spiritual/mental. The physical world is thus an illusion or a...
I noticed that there was a shortage of folk music threads, so I decided to create one. Share the folk music of your country!
Here's some Swedish folk music.

Most of the time, the debate seems focused on the evolution of animals, so let's talk about plants instead. As hybridization is very common in plants and the hybrids mostly are fertile, how would we define a plant "kind"? We also see a huge diversity within plant families (like apples and...
As hell in the "eternal torture" way isn't mentioned in the Old Testament and Judaism doesn't have a hell in the Christian way, did God create hell when he sent Jesus? Or was it created before and just opened when Jesus came? Or was it always open, but not revealed yet?
I know that many...

It's one of the few quizzes I've found that include pantheism (maybe because it was made by a pantheistic website).

What is the point of the ressurection at the end of time? If everyone already is in their right place, why is a ressurection necessary? :confused:
(This topic is for those who support instantly going to heaven/hell, not those who support that the soul sleeps until the ressurection).
In the nordic countries, in the Great Britain, Ireland and other places, these practices were widespread.
People drank the water and sacrificed items (often coins, but also food) to become healed of disease. The water was supposedly "magic" and often a gift from the Gods.
Later on, Christians...
As the God in naturalistic Pantheism is of the non-personal and non-sentient sort, is there a place for such a thing as worship and rituals? Is there a point in worshipping something non-sentient or performing rituals in a naturalistic religion?
Do you perform any rituals and do you worship...
There are several different translations of this, including everything from "sons of God" to "sons of man" to "sons of Israel" and "mankind". And even then, "sons of God" could also mean humanity. The version in the translation of the Bible I own highly implies that the Lord is just one of many...
