    Shiva is the name of the 666 in Revelations, is Shiva Satan?

    I just want to have an honest discussion about this, the point of this post is to have just that. It's NOT my intention to disrespect anyone's religion, beliefs, gods/goddesses, etc. __________ Satan may actually be Shiva in the east. I have included an article on this at the bottom of this...

    Is Gaudiya Math and ISKCON the same?

    Criticism of Hinduism and Buddhism. now in debate section

    Moved the question because upon further thought it would be better here. What are some criticisms of Buddhism and Hinduism? This can be anything from serious critique to plain old opinion.

    Criticism of Hinduism and Buddhism.

    I was just wondering what criticisms people on here had about Buddhism and Hinduism?

    IS there an eastern/pagan solution to our religious delimas?

    I've met people who were once Christians or Jews among other things that turned to eastern traditions or paganism because of the issues they have had with their original religion. I'm sure someone will be tempted to say "Well atheism was the original belief they had." because you aren't...

    Atheists favorite religious traditions?

    I was just wondering if any of the atheists on here had religious traditions they were partial towards? I can think of a few folks like Richard Dawkins ( church of England) or Sam Harris (Buddhism) who are atheists but still have sort of a soft spot for some traditions. Personally I have a soft...

    Religion with a touch of Nihilism/Cynicism/Existentialism

    I was just wondering if anyone of you thought there were any religions that are inherently in tune with one of those 3 concepts? Taoism popped into my head to a certain extent but I'm not sure how far you could legitimately take that.

    Alan Watts: Guru or Fraud?

    I've met a number of people over the years that have loved Alan Watts. I've also met a good number of people who think Alan Watts is nothing more than a fraud who knew close to nothing about what he was talking about. What do you think of Alan Watts? I have to say I personally think he's fine...

    Universalism and looking at things from a new perspective

    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...

    Hinduism resources.

    So recently I've been reading through norse and greek mythology and decided to switch it up a bit and look for some more information on Hinduism. I'm not uneducated when it comes to Hinduism (or quite a few religions really) but it never hurts to refresh and come at things with a different...

    How would the discovery of alien life change religion?

    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?

    Religious quizzes.

    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...

    Does evolution have any affect on your spirituality?

    Does evolution make any difference to you In your spirituality? Why or why not?
  14. Lorgar-Aurelian

    You ever thought about how difficult the spiritual can be to demonstrate or provide evidence for?

    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...

    Is a meaningless universe enough of a reason to adopt a religion?

    If you believed that the truth of the universe was that it was meaningless and that human life was a mere accident is this a good enough reason to try and adopt a different set of beliefs? Is It enough of a reason that someone who thinks all this is depressing and that existing would at least be...

    Prayer Experiment

    So the idea here was to have a little prayer experiment to determine whether or not the feeling I have gotten of peace after praying is just a placebo. This is not a definitive test but it is certainly a beginning. Right off the bat it should be stated that we won’t be praying for any specific...

    Monistic Theism

    So I read through the introductory post to this forum and was struck by the idea of monistic theism. I think that might actually describe what I believe, but I want to be sure I'm understanding it correctly. From what I gather, monistic theism says that God(s) are both immanent, in that the...

    How does one go about obtaining faith?

    I am a man interested in faith but I find I have none. So I am curious, how is someone without faith supposed to go about obtaining faith?

    "Spiritual Satanism is Mankind's Original & Only Religion" ?

    I don't know what to think about the link below but I'd like to discuss it. What do you think about the article/link below that claims Satanism is mankind's original & only religion? I think its basically saying Sanatana Dharma = Satanism, that Sanat is an anagram for Satan, that Zeus and...

    Satan is the Word of Life, and the Name of the Original Religion

    In ancient Egypt SATA is the name of the creator God, this also relates to the concept of the Serpent Genie. However Genie is a English spelling for Jin which is originally Jat or Jot as a letter. And Jat means "Power" in the concept of the power of god, the creator god which is the serpent...
