    Poll: Your Opinion

    I have to say, my opinions on religious matters has not changed at all, BUT, now that I have a place to understand and define my ideas better, I've grown spiritually because of it. This place kind of feels like a religious sandbox where I'm able to test new thoughts and ideas and slowly create...

    Poll: How Long Have You Been in Your Current Religion or Lack Thereof?

    Initially inspired by this thread by @Seeker of White Light . If you have the time, go ahead and look at it for yourself. I was completely wrong in one of my latest posts about not creating new threads. I got too much ideas for topics and I can't ignore them. This should be an interesting...

    Jews: Commandments as a condition of conversion or not?

    Jews Only I have a history professor who has told us many times that during the Second Temple era there were only three requirements for conversion: Circumcision, sacrificing two pigeons and immersing in the mikveh. And for women, just the latter two. It was only in Talmudic times that it was...

    For Non-Christians Only: If You Were Christian, What Kind of Christian Would You Be?

    As someone who has never once considered himself a Christian, I obsess about this question a lot. The thread title is all you need to answer the question for yourself, and with this introductory post I am going to elaborate on this for myself. So, the main groups I am interested in include...

    Atheists: Which Hell Is the One for You?

    Given that there are several questions directed at atheists, I thought it would be a good time for one extra. My question is "Which hell is the one for you?" Obviously you cannot truly decide what would really work, given that you don't seek God's blessing on your choices; but what if you...

    Reform view of converts who leave Judaism

    Hello. Lately I've been interested in the subject of conversion processes in the Reform and Conservative movements. In Orthodoxy, when a convert decides to stop keeping Judaism/convert to a different faith or stop keeping part of Judaism, their status as converts is determined on a...

    Seeking a spiritual mentor

    So... I am a recovering Catholic. Lifetime seeker. Several times I've seriously considered converting to one religion or another, ultimately always returning to the faith tradition of my upbringing. Last year, totally unexpectedly, I woke up one day and started to doubt again. I started to...

    Revealing conversion/nonbelief to loved ones

    Does anyone want to discuss experiences with telling loved ones - family, significant other(s), close friends, etc. - about changes in religious/spiritual views (or newfound lack thereof)? Or thoughts/fears about what would happen if they ever found out? For me, I've decided my spiritual...

    Conversion to Your Religion

    I was reading a thread in which someone wished to convert to Judaism and that the process can take a couple of years and one has to be accepted into the religion. This got me wondering... How difficult is it for someone of another religion or faith or someone of no religion to convert to your...

    Forced Conversion

    Forced conversion has historical precedents from Abrahamic faiths all the way to Hinduism. If an authority arrived today and made it mandatory that you convert to a faith that has been branded the only legal religion and forbade you to continue your current religious practices and beliefs, what...

    Here are a couple of debates I watched recently on youtube so I thought I would put them up here and see what you all thought. And here is David Wood's video on why he is a Christian.

    Converting to Judaism, but no local synagogue

    Hey everyone, so here's my question. The local synagogue is basically in apartment since in the time of fascism the synagogue was destroyed and the territory for rebuilding a new one hasn't been returned to the Jewish community since then. So basically the conversion is not possible since it...
