Hey everyone! I work at this camp and this weekend about 600 devotees of Satyha Sai Baba came. I just wanna know some info abut Sai Baba. I know he brought free schools to India (correct?) and he's a lot like Jesus, Imaculate conception, miracles...etc. Also, they told me that he knows when...
Salam everyone! I have a question. I was looking at Muslim music on Youtube and one of the comments said something like about how Islam forbids all instruments except percussion. I know lots of Muslim artists that create music with just percussion, but then I know lots that create music with...
Hi! Thanks for reading this. I have a question! In Galatians 5:2-4 Paul says:

3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4Christ is become of no...
My Eastern Philosophy Class brought this up today and I thought it was interesting, but no one had an answer for it. Here is the question:
If Buddhism is all about love and compassion and reducing suffering, why did Siddharta Gautama (The Buddha) just up and leave his wife and kid for the rest...
Hey, I know there are quite a few Jews on here, but I was wondering if any of the Jews here are actually against Zionism and the illegal occupation of Palestine? I'm not a Jew, but I am! There are plenty of Jews, even orthodox, that are against Zionism!

"Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the...
Two questoins!

2. Although you practice one religion, there maybe a few concepts from other relgions that you like and/or...
To the LDS members...I have a quick question! I am reading a book called [i]I Don't Have Enought Faith to be an Atheist[i] where the two authors try and prove with evidence that Christianity is the only true religion. They point out that only theistic religions can possibly be true, and that all...
Hey! In school the other day, we briefly went over the 4 different types of yogas in Hinduism! I forgot the last one though, but he was saying how Yoga doesn't just mean doing those stretching exercising.
Bnana Yoga (is that correct), is the Yoga in which people percieve the world as Maya...
From Wikipedia:
"He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most...
Hey everyone! For school, I am doing a paper on the Pagan Origins of Christianity. I have been reading up on it and it seems very interesting! I'm sure most of you know that Easter and Christmas are pagan, but according to this theory there is more.

Hello everyone! As some of you may or may not know, I am an atheist. But for awhile now I have been very heavely interested in the Wiccan religion, and have been doing lots of research on it. I have even considered becoming a pagan, but the thing is, I do not think I would be able to worship...
Hi all! I am taking a World Religions class at my community college (awesome, everyone should take one btw), and right now we are on the Judaism unit. Our teacher said that Moses led the people to the promised land, and blah blah all the events happened and eventually the full Tanakh was...
Is anyone here a vegetarian or a vegan? If you are, please list why you became one!
I turned into a vegetarian like a month ago mostly for moral reasons but also for health. So far it's going great and I feel awesome! Maybe in a year or so after I get this vegetarian thing down I can try and...

What is your take on the whole Jesus Bloodline Theory?
I just finished reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail (one of the first books to bring up this subject...actual research is done and stuff) and it's very interesting. I'm starting the sequel, The Messianic Legacy tonite. I'm not a Christian so I...
