    Should the Qur'an be the Government's charter?

    My question is rather straightforward, as this is often a touchy subject, thanks to many Western Islamophobes citing that Muslims want to enforce Shari'ah upon the West- but, do Muslims believe that if a society was mostly Islamic there should be no form of Government or regulation outside the...

    "If there is a god he will have to beg for my forgiveness." -quote found etched into the wall of a Nazi Concentration Camp A peculiar quote which makes one reflect. If a God does exist in an omniscient, omnipresent ect ect manner, would this God deserve to forgiven for the act of creating a...

    Could anything ever prove or disprove the existence of a Deity 100%?

    So the premise of the question, is that atheist, or agnostic people often claim lack of evidence for the support of God. Theists reject evidence which some parties posit claiming it disproves God. But could there be any event or discovery which either totally eradicates any belief in God, or...

    Does God Care About Theology?

    In the Abrahamic faiths, (except for Judaism) it matters greatly over the 'nature' of God. To Christians, you have to believe that Christ is the Divine Son of God on Earth to be saved. In Islam you have to submit to Allah, who has all of these rules and laws about his nature and customs you...

    Are there any Muslim sects that believe the Qur'an was changed?

    To add to the question, are there any Muslim sects which do not think the Qur'an is the total, perfect revelation from God/Allah, and may have errors in it, or have had parts added?

    Should A Global Language Be Adopted?

    And if they did, should it be an existing language, or one a group of linguistic scientists 'create' which is easier to learn, yet still expressive?

    Can you love some in a 'special' way but still be Asexual?

    Can you 'love' someone, (a living human being, regardless of race, orientation or any other factor) and still be considered asexual? I mean this in a sense where if two people love and are committed to each other, but have no will of sex, or any erotic behavior, would they be considered sexual...

    Is Organized Religion Doomed to be Oppressive?

    Now asking this question, I am referring to any organized religion, with a strict law, and a heirarchy doomed to be an oppressive force once it amasses significant power? Or do you think once any idea, culture, ect. amasses power it is going to become oppressive as humans use and abuse it? For...

    Would a traditional (as in Christian or Muslim) God be considered atheist?

    Assuming that this God 'believes' that nothing created it, it believes that it is the supreme truth of existence ect. ect., and that there is no higher power, would this God be considered an atheist?

    Should Addiction Illegal Substances be Treated as a Disease or Crime?

    I personally believe it is somewhere in the middle; narcotics and other 'drugs' are not only harmful to the self but also to society, and there should be punishment for buying, selling, and using them. However I also think that it is a problem that most people cannot overcome without help. Now...

    'Positive' Fascism

    If you know anything about Germany after World War I leading up to WWII, you know that is was devastated, and in both economical and industrial ruin. However in a short amount of time the Fascist Nazi's had turned Germany in to one of the most powerful nations on Earth, and constructed an...

    Your spiritual Basis

    Several days ago, a friend and I, who share many similar religious viewpoints, had an interesting conversation, regarding our spiritual basis. As we were talking about the fact that there is so much that could be argued about denominations, and the corruption of religion in Christianity alone...

    "Whoever enters through me will be saved" Exclusive or Inclusive?

    So many times in the New Testament, Jesus says something along the lines of "Through me you will be saved". However do you think that this being saved 'happens' for just those who acknowledge the divinity of Christ, the Messianic stature of Christ, or uphold a righteous state of living even if...

    Do you think any one faith is the only 'way'?

    Do you personally think (even though many religions say that it is the only way) believe that your particular faith is the only true faith? Or do you think that it (whether it is a supreme God, or something else) judges by the nature of every individual? Or do you have some other opinion...

    Scripture of Zoroastrianism

    Though I know the whole book is the Avesta, from a beginners standpoint (and coming from an Abrahamic faith) I would like to know what texts would be recommended for introduction to the faith on a scriptural level. I have read a lot, but would like to get it from the horse's mouth so to speak...

    If you are one religion, do you read, and accept other religious works?

    To further elucidate my question, I would like to clarify one thing first. I do not mean to necessarily accept that other religions or their works are true. I am just curious however if you generally would read various religious or non-religious works from other traditions, and value their...

    Compatibility of Major Abrahamic Religions?

    For quite a while, me and some of my fellow friends, or as we like to call ourselves, aspiring Theologians, have had the idea that Islam, Christianity, and parts of Gnostic religion are compatible. We also have speculated that if done correctly, and probably with the teachings and philosophies...

    Hi everyone!

    To start I suppose I should tell you of what faith I am. Technically, I am a Methodist, but I am highly interested in other avenues of Christian Sects, and 'foreign' religion. So without further adon't, Hi, I am Raban
