    Here are the principles for this movement: Fundamental Principles We are rooted in a moral analysis based on our deepest religious and constitutional values that demand justice for all. Moral revival is necessary to save the heart and soul of our democracy. We are committed to lifting up and...

    Hinduism, the use of names, freedom of information and mistrust of systems.

    Howdy I was thinking about the use of names for religions and the idea that structural authority is just not as important as it used to be. Now that isn’t to say that structural authority has lost all of it’s power but plenty of people are now aware of how horrid their governments, religious...

    The World Isn't Black and White Atheist vs Theist

    I have been reading a decent bit of Chris Hedges lately. I recently got his book I don't believe in atheists. It's not about believing or not believing in atheists so much as it is about utopian idealists whether theist or atheist not being what we need in the world. He talks about the...

    God is called God. This name is known to all religions

    God is called God. This name is known to all religions and even atheists. There are many dogs. So, the dog is not the name of a dog. Only one being is called God. Therefore, it is a unique NAME. Yes, pagan nations have gods: Zeus, Satan, Shiva. These nations are correct in one thing: God's name...

    What Is Your Most Controversial Religious Opinion?

    I've been watching some videos with what we might call controversial opinions. Some of these are about philosophy, some of these are about Ukraine etc. What controversial opinions do you have about religion or other religious traditions? I suppose one controversial opinion I'll share is that...

    In the Beginning, why just a few, can we learn from the past?

    This discussion is about God, it is about how we have come to know God via Prophets, or Messengers, or Manifestations of God. Why is it that time shows us who were most likely a God given Prophet, or Messenger, or Manifestation of God, yet when the Message is first given there a only few that...

    The unquestionable morality of your religious beliefs

    Many here express the position that the moral codes and actions prescribed by their respective religious texts are absolutely correct on every single point. Do you hold this position with regards to your religious texts and doctrines. Is there any flexibility on your view of either?

    Gnostic Atheism and its gods

    In the world, theologians counted many thousands of gods. In what sense do "gnostic atheists" say there is no God? Common opinion: "To be an atheist, it is enough to have a lack of belief in just one of the gods. If you do not believe in 3505 gods, and the other does not believe in 3506 gods...

    Satan or satan, which is correct?

    The Eastern Orthodox Church does not violate any laws of the country and language inspection by writing "satan", not "Satan" (latter one the "enlightened" Western world writes). Why? There is nothing in common between black and white. This is the essence of Aristotle's Logic: "Black is not...

    Context of Voltaire's quote

    Obviously the quote "If God does not exist, He must be invented." was small part of a book or a paper. What was the nearby part of the paper? Was it: "If God does not exist, He must be invented. But He does not exist, He is invented." Or was it: "If God does not exist, He must be invented. But...

    Tell the World

    Well William Miller told the world that 1844 was the year awaited by many. So why did they not see what they had predicted and expected? I see He got it right. Regards Tony

    Politics and religion, interaction in individuals

    Religions often seem to get named with certain political views, like Christians in America with republicanism How did if it did your religion change your political ideas? Did you associate with new things because of it? Please explain it :)

    Choices

    The purpose of this OP is to explore our Choice of Faith, is it a choice, is it not? I have read in other OP's on RF where people say it was not a choice, that their Faith was a natural process that required no choices. To an extent I agree, as I see God has created us all in the same image...

    It's all about the bliss

    I wish to share my philosophy, which is based upon my personal experience/struggles. Many people might disagree with it, but I wish to share it anyway. It's the pdf file below. In this file, I discuss my personal struggles later on, and what conclusion they've led me to. Anyway, here's the file:

    What is Atheistic Gospel?

    To my often wrong opinion, A nonexistent god is available as an opportunity to choose the idea of a supreme deity. Therefore, atheists did not offer any alternative to Christianity. Atheism is still the idea of a supreme deity. The idea to choose from. Conscious thoughts: "Atheists do not...

    Atheism is World without Angels

    In the world without angels, The destruction in near (song "Moment of Peace", Gregorian). There are people exactly like angels in Theism. Hence, atheism denies the existence of extremely good people, extraordinary good people. In atheism, there is a grey, indistinguishable mob olnly.

    Can science reconcile different moral positions?

    I wanted to get opinions. I’ve had several conversations on line on the subject of morality. There are so many philosophical positions one can hold and many seem to be exclusive, on their own accounts, and have ardent defenders. Is morality neural and societal simultaneously? Subjectively, our...

    Let's define Religion.

    I've been told that Religion cannot be defined, or at the very least, any attempt will be so inadequate as to make the definition useless. I think for most people, there are certain sets of beliefs that seem to easily fit into a category with the label Religion. I anticipate most of the...
