    Feeling a pull towards Reform... Can I convert, and how do I know I should, and what should I know?

    I was raised in a family without a belief in God but that respected those who believed in God. I went to a UU church where we learned about religion. One year, we visited various religious institutions and I sat in on a Reform Jewish service... I can't explain exactly what I felt, it was about...

    What is faith to you?

    I am in a state of, "I don't know if I believe in God". Do you feel it, so you believe? Do you have rational reasons for believing? Do you believe in all the stories in your books, if you have them, and why? Do you ever doubt that God may exist? How often do you think about God?

    Non-Muslim. Feeling guilty about saying the Prophet's name.

    When Muslims follow up by saying, "peace be upon him". The Prophet is a concept of Islam, and thus, to speak of him and not follow up is to use the Islamic context, and not pay him the respect he is due in that context. I mean, I wouldn't put a Quran on the floor, so not paying respect to him...

    How are modern schools organized

    How are modern Gnostic schools organized? Are there specific sects, or is it just "Gnosticism"? Is modern Gnosticism Christian, or something else? Is modern Valentinianism a thing?

    Careers involving religion

    I'll be quick. I'm nearing the verge of graduating high school. I really want to incorporate comparative religious knowledge into my career, but I don't want to be a religious leader, probably. I'm looking at colleges, but I don't know what to combine a religion degree with to get a viable...

    The importance of universal love.

    This sounds obvious. I was at my prom tonight. It was beautiful, everyone looked beautiful, and felt it. Girls were complimenting each other, a girl I haven't spoken to since elementary school hugged me, and some other girls I barely knew asked me to come dance with them. There is another girl...

    Having issues with Sikh prayers...

    Hello, I am a young woman searching for spirituality. I have found interest in Sikhism, and looked at some of the prayers. To be honest, I didn't like what I interpreted. They said that skeptics would die, and those who worshipped idols were "stupid asses". I am wondering, how to reconcile this...

    Differences between "cradle UUs" and "converts".

    Hi. I am a young woman. I am on a journey to find a faith, but I hold the practice of Unitarian Universalism close to me. I was born and raised UU. I came to notice in my community two trends. 1.) UU "converts" usually have a disparaging opinion of Christianity that "cradle UUs" do not. 2.)...

    Looking for a faith.

    Hi. I am a young woman. My father is an atheist, my mother is an atheist/agnostic, and my brother rejects religion entirely. I go to a panreligious church that welcomes all ideas, but seem to be mainly various flavors of atheist and pagan. I have always felt a pull toward the spiritual. I came...
