    What will be next?

    I have recently started on a path towards Hinduism and have been learning so much. I know there is so much more to learn before I become involved in the practices of this religion. I often think of how my life is going to be different when I have the full understanding of this religion and...

    Support of LGBTQs

    That's the best way to go about it. Politics are a funny thing. Many feel strongly about the president and use those feelings to blame them for things going on personally in their life. I think, however, the blame in this case is being misplaced. I think this is something that is more on a...

    Support of LGBTQs

    How has Trump made things worse for the LGBTQ community? And you say that your family is discriminating against you. That is something that you should deal with within your family. The president is not the one forcing your family to have that discrimination against you. Even if laws were put in...

    Your username

    I have a passion for motorcycles and my first one was a Honda Shadow Spirit so I chose Shadow after that bike. It is a beautiful red which also goes along with the second part of my name, Rose. Rose is also my middle name.

    Would you leave your family's religion if...

    I agree with what others have said. It does sound like a cult. I want the freedom to have my own beliefs and not be told what I can and cant do. That's one of the reasons I left the Christian faith. I felt that that faith was dictating some aspects of my life to where I didn't have the religious...

    "Top Ten Shocking Beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses"

    I believe that all religions, in some way, have truth to them. Once you become part of a religion you will be biased towards that religion and those beliefs and believe that your religion is the one true faith. Many religions came about by someone not agreeing fully with the religion that they...

    Welcome to RF!! I am still relatively new myself and still making my way through the forums. I have found the DIR forums helpful if you want to keep discussions relatively within a certain religion or if debate does interest you, there are the debate forums which seem to have some very...

    Spouse with a Different Religion

    I never knew that. Thank you so much. You all have been so unbelievably supportive and helpful. When I first started this journey I was scared and nervous but you all have really made me even more excited about starting this new chapter in my life.

    I will certainly do that. It might take some time though as I have just started working on it.

    Spouse with a Different Religion

    My husband doesn't put a label on what he believes but I would say that he is an Atheist. I have found the more I learn about Hinduism the more I am able to explain more. I had a conversation to my mother yesterday about it and I think with what I was able to explain to her she understood more...

    Spouse with a Different Religion

    Hello And thank you for your comment. What you said is very interesting. I have opened up a little to my husband about my desire to learn more about Hinduism and I think to a point he seems like he accepts my decision to pursue it but also seems to be hesitant. He asked why I didn’t just become...

    Can someone answer this?

    I think a lot of it is lack of education of these other religions. All they see is what has been presented to them on the news or by word of mouth. If you hear that a Muslim group was responsible for a bombing then that means all Muslims are the same as those doing the bombing. A picture is...

    You don't know how much this helps. Thank you so much.

    Spouse with a Different Religion

    I don't know if it would be more of him not respecting my beliefs or if it would be me feeling uncomfortable with having a worship place around him. I want to respect him and his beliefs and I don't know if that would be disrespectful to him and his beliefs by having a place in our home for me...

    Spouse with a Different Religion

    I have been on a journey to find my home within a religious group and have found that in Hinduism. I am still learning and am at a point where I would like to become more active in the practices. I do, however, have a spouse that believes the complete opposite. Unfortunately, I did not come to...

    ex Christians

    I walked away from Christianity and chose to follow another path. I grew up as a Christian but the older I got the more I started really paying attention to the teachings and some just didn't sit well with me. I felt a lot of hatred and judgment from Christians and I didn't want to be a part of...

    What Is Your Religion or Worldview?

    I was raised as a Christian but the older I got the more I started questioning things. I didn't like the prejudices that I found in that religion. I also felt like I was pressured to believe a certain way or I was wrong. There was no gray area and there wasn't as much acceptance as I feel is...

    Hinduism Questions

    I have actually seen what i had believed to be angels and felt the presence of a smaller being. I know in the Christian faith there are angels and the way it was described in the Bible is exactly how they looked when I experienced them. Since I am no longer following the Christian faith and...
