    Is there any other religion other than Islam that forbids alcohol?

    In Baha'i, if one's drinking is causing divisiveness to the community, the national Assembly can take away their right to vote as a Baha'i and their ability to go to feasts (our version of church)

    Would Jesus Put This On His Car?

    Every man of insight will, in this day, readily admit that the counsels which the Pen of this Wronged One hath revealed constitute the supreme animating power for the advancement of the world and the exaltation of its peoples. Arise, O people, and, by the power of God’s might, resolve to gain...

    Would Jesus Put This On His Car?

    Good question. I haven't really read a lot about our position on polytheism. We do claim that Krishna was a manifestation. So we consider Hindus who believe in the avatars of Vishnu to be monotheists, at least from our perspective.

    Would Jesus Put This On His Car?

    The essence of religion is one. To say there is more than one religion is man made. There is one God and one religion of God.

    Would Jesus Put This On His Car?

    If people want to worship "satan" as a God that's probably fine since we don't tell people what to believe but worshipping yourself is probably not a good way to get close to God.

    Would Jesus Put This On His Car?

    My religion doesn't believe in satan so we don't really have a problem with that. We believe that satan is a metaphor for the lower nature of man that prevents us from having a relationship with God.

    Would Jesus Put This On His Car?

    My religion believes all religions are part of the same religion. Our temples located all over the world are open to the public and people are encouraged to say prayers in their own religion. Prayer in school for us would be this comic.

    I think Jesus would be more anti killing your neighbor than he would be anti gun.

    Ahmadis and Bahá'u'lláh

    Good question! I really love the Ahmadis and am super curious to see if any of them are here and decide to answer

    I think morality is inherently a spiritual concept. I also think the good/bad dichotomy is a spiritual concept.

    Would Jesus Put This On His Car?

    I think it is a spiritual issue more so than a mental issue. Sure some of the shooters have mental illness but I think the path that took them to the actual act of killing people rather than sitting in their home being ill was a spiritual path. A bad spiritual path.

    Personal Shrines/Altars/Places of Meditation or Religious Introspection...

    At my new place I'm moving into I've been considering putting the greatest name on my ceiling in the middle of my living room like we do at the temples.

    Occultists Converted to Christianity

    My only problem with the occult is that, from my perspective, it seems very self centered. It seems to me to be all about the practitioner rather than humanity as a whole

    How do you describe your practices as beliefs?
