I don't know what has tempted me to do this but recently while reading various religious texts ( bagavad gita, greek myths, bible, tao te ching and various books on Shinto) for the last few days I've been more or less listening to this on loop.

Hello everyone, I'm new here, I'm here because I have kinda weird question, I guess this topic was discussed or not but, recently, I was thinking of starting my own religion, I mean new christian denomination, some of you will say "what for", "who do you think you are? You're not prophet or like...
A friend of mine (who should be joining the site soon.) Told me I was looking at all of spirituality from a far too narrow perspective and that if I kept it up I would never go anywhere but atheism.
Essentially what he said was that there is a sort of universal spiritual element to life and...
I have come to discover that I rather like polytheism. Well at least certain gods from certain pantheons. The issue I personally have is actually believing in or doing anything with these gods when I can think of no rational arguments for said gods actually being a thing.
It seems to me...
We all have our own personal bias whether we recognize it or not. We all have things we favor and we all have things we have personal issues with. Sometimes these bleed over into the arguments we will and won’t consider and why we agree with one side or another.
I notice in myself a bias...
Do you think if we ever discovered alien life that religion would change? Would this maybe cause some creationists for instance to turn away from this way of thinking? What about pagans, would this change paganism at all?
I like taking surveys and doing these little quizzes online. AT one point I had even signed up with okay cupid just so I could keep answering their little matchmaking questions. Any way I had found a couple of these quizzes having to do with religion/spirituality/paganism and just thought I...
Lets pretend all religions are equally possibly correct. If one goes by nothing but the numbers the chance of you being correct are 1 in 19 if you count the large religions of the world . From there if you add in religious sects and dead religions the chance goes down even lower.
So how do you...
Does the idea of Jesus sacrificing himself make sense from a jewish theological perspective? I personally don't think the idea of a god man sacrificing himself to himself for things he put in us himself makes no sense but that that is beside the point. Can a man die for another man's or indeed...

I was watching videos on various pagan traditions and there was a whole series of videos from different content creators on their matron and patron deities. People were more or less talking about having mother and father figure deities. They also talked about how they came to those deities as...
The God of Judaism is more or less the inspiration or supposed to be the same god the Christians and muslims worship. See here is the thing that gets me about that. Why would God randomly start new religions?
Why is Christianity so different to Judaism?
Why would god allow 3 new religions to...
To someone who likes evidence of something before he or she believes in something it's almost impossible to justify spiritual experience within their own life.
Take Jesus for instance, give him all his miracles, give him all his works from the gospel and so on. Would this prove the god he spoke...
I have been wondering recently what the western world would look like without Christianity or without Christianity being the dominant religion? It could be argued that Christianity both divided Europe at times and united it at others. It's possible it was a bit of Christian unity that helped...
I'd just like to point out that just because a certain group can be associated with a horrible event doesn't make everyone involved in said group responsible. For instance just because the Crusades were given legitimacy by the pope doesn't mean everyone in Christendom is responsible or that...
Why do you think the Jews rejected Jesus? The new testament seems to suggest the jews who rejected Jesus were just arrogant but i'm not sure I buy that.
