    Do you call yourself a 'Panentheist'?

    Oh, I definitely describe myself as a panentheist whenever I'm asked what my beliefs are. Actually, whenever I'm willing to share what my beliefs are. The conversation has never been awkward for me, though every single time I've used the term I have had to explain what it meant... but I don't...

    Love thy neighbor as much as thyself

    ... Perhaps you can see why it appears you make judgements based on an individual's looks. And not just normal judgements, either, but declarations over whether people have the RIGHT to make children, based solely on their looks.

    Love thy neighbor as much as thyself

    Do you think your rapid judgement of people based on their looks and whether they're "beautiful" or "ugly" (as shown in many of your posts on other threads) is in any way a step toward sainthood?

    Love thy neighbor as much as thyself

    So, do you intend to become an Atheist, then? Or do you consider yourself on the same level as the saints?

    Premarital sex and Christianity

    So... because a female orgasm is more intense than a male orgasm, it's a problem for a woman to be a virgin?

    Premarital sex and Christianity

    Woah, woah, why? Could you please elaborate on that? I can't see any reason to be upset by a daughter's choice to put off sexual relations until she feels ready -- whenever that time might be, after marriage, just with the right person, or whatever else. I'd be interested to hear what reasons...

    Unitarian Universalism

    I was so confused for a moment until I realized that I have my location as San Diego. xD That's where my official residence is, but I'm away at college right now, so I'm actually attending another UU church in a different state. Believe me, I hear you on the weather thing! But you definitely...

    I am thinking

    Oh, don't worry! I knew you weren't talking about a particular person, but constantly writing he/she gets tiresome, so since you said 'herself' I just went along with the female theme. I'll go back to the 'one' 'person' 'his or her' thing now, if you'd prefer. I just don't understand why it...

    How strong is your faith?

    My belief in the deities that I honor (switching from worship, because that feels too strong to me)? Perhaps a 5. However, the strength of my belief in panentheism is actually a 10. The only thing uncertain to me is how exactly that meshes with all of the different religious ideas out there, and...

    why avoid questions about your personal faith?

    I'm definitely guilty of doing that at times, though usually more in real life than on these forums. On these forums, I'm very straight-forward with my personal faith, but when I'm having a conversation with people outside of these forums, I'm very rarely open about my beliefs, because I fear...

    I am thinking

    Why must this woman be 'fooling herself' about being happy? Can she not actually be happy? I'm curious as to what you mean about this 'perspective of truth and life'... what are your criterion? And why should these criterion, not identified by her, be the judge of whether or not she is happy?

    what keeps you a Unitarian Universalist?

    What brings me back more than anything is the community. Yeah, my personal beliefs do not require that I go to a church service every week in order to be 'saved' or whatever, but I do anyways, because the sunday service is usually a highlight of my weekend. I love the music, and usually am...

    Unitarian Universalism

    I'm so surprised to hear people describing it as 'dry'! I mean, obviously I suppose it depends on what one's interests are and what one enjoys in a service, but I've personally never found a service at a UU church to be dry. The one that I attend has a great mix of songs and topics, and the...

    I like it, but can't get hubby to go with me.

    I have to agree with Alceste and Northern Lights -- respectfully -- because I do find it... at the very least very offensive and at the most abusive, for one parent to 'forbid' the other from doing anything in regards to their shared child... especially when we're talking about something like...

    Theists: If You Knew You Were Going to Hell

    See, I think of love less as blind and more as... extreme sunlight. Love can blind you from certain faults at times, especially when you're looking at it directly, but certain actions can certainly block the sunlight, either for moments or for eternity, and then you're able to see again. I don't...

    Religious Survey for College Class

    Welcome to the forums, Austin! I hope you stick around for more than just for your class -- there's a lot to learn and a lot of fun to be had on these forums. (: I'm Rae, and I identify as a panentheist; it's not really a religion, but it does classify my religious beliefs. 1. What beliefs and...

    Theists: If You Knew You Were Going to Hell

    Personally, I'm a theist but not a believer in the whole Heaven and Hell thing, so this question isn't something I'd normally be able to answer... but I'm going to pretend for a moment that I'm a devout follower of one of the Abrahamic faiths. If I were one hundred percent sure that I'd be...

    Why don't Theist's admit that there's no evidence for God?

    ...I'm sorry? I would have justified it, but that isn't an option in these forums, so... yeah. We aren't talking about the difference between different kinds of faith, from religion to the existence of each one of us and what will happen in the next moment. We're talking about the...

    theists: do you ever worry about paying for your sins after you die?

    Worry? I don't worry about hypotheticals like that. Hell, I try to stop myself from worrying about most things in general, and those things are usually much more real. But I do consider from time to time; I certainly thought about those kinds of things when I was having my little lost phase and...
