It seems to me that a lot about religion concerns society as a whole:
Organizing as a community, choosing who belongs and who does not;
who prays when, and with whom;
how men and women are supposed to act at home, or in public;
how to raise a child, and what to teach it.
Telling people what...
The government is dictating you on how to pray. Will you follow Absolute Truth even under fear of the death penalty?
How do people keep having a high IQ scores, if they say such prayers?
Peace be upon you everybody!
I have seen a lot of atheists here on the forums, but honestly I expected to see believer not atheists; as this site is called "religious forums", but anyway I've had a really interesting question for those who don't believe in after life and think that Its all...
Many people know that Hindus believe that we come back as lower life forms - bugs, animals etc
First of all let us understand that Hindu ideas were never meant exclusively for Hindus - Hindus don't preach that way, these ideas apply to ALL of us. These are God's laws - they apply to ALL life...
God is Light - and Light is Electromagnetism :-)
Abstract:
It has been one of the greatest surprises of the Space Age – powerful magnetic fields pervade the cosmos. Mainstream astronomers and astrophysicists do indeed acknowledge pervasive cosmic magnetism, but they did NOT predict it, and the...
This thread was inspired by comments in an OP saying prople are in a box, if they offer some Faiths may have some incorrect doctrine.
So the Question we should consider in this debate could be;
Would not Doctrine form its own Box?
Consider doctrines are formed to explain the unknown.
So...
With the 1,000s of different versions of religions and the different versions of those religions, an appearance by God is long overdue. There also billions on Earth who would welcome the knowledge of its existence just to confirm which version of its being, religion, messenger, prophets are...

The purpose of this OP in a debate section is to allow for alternate input, at the same time offer what I see is unfolding in the world as per a Baha'i veiwpoint. (This is not official Baha'i viewpoint but a personal understanding of my observations)
In the early 1990's Abdul'baha gave a future...
Time is an illusion, many sages say. After all, why do we see the number 2020 on the calendar and not 2010 or 2022, if we exist and are alive not only today and now? Therefore, the wise men should be put on a scientific track: time is real, but the passage of time is an illusion.
A fairy-tale...
There are many scientists, who believe in God.
But the methodological naturalism is the basic rule of their profession.
Does methodological naturalism strengthens and benefits their faith?
Can a believer assume for an hour that there is no God, and not lose faith?
Naturalism (philosophy) -...
INTRODUCTION:
MY IDEA FOR MAKING NATURAL THEOLOGY:
The Absolute Truth, e.g. 2+2=4, can not be false. So, the falsifiability criterion is unscientific.
A nihilist can say: "the Absolute Truth is only in mathematics, not in physics nor elsewhere."
I am replying, that the humankind...
Unthankful Trump is healed from COVID-19 within 3 days in the hospital.
A miracle, I tell you! But he has not said "Thank you, God" in front of the cameras.
That is inconsistency because in other cases he openly and bravely represents Christianity:
The most influential Christian is not the...
Why the fall of Christianity? The status quo of the US was Christianity.
HISTORIC record:

1963 - Abington School District v. Schempp: removal of Bible reading in public schools by the "supreme court".
1973 - Roe...
MY MOTIVE OF POSTING:
1. I do not think, that things are perfectly good in our world, religions, science, philosophy, and society.
2. My "chief priest" in Moscow (Fr. Kirill) has given us all the commandment: to slow down the world falling into the abyss. I need to turn back the "Titanic" of...
Hi! My name is Niki! I am a nursing student. I was given an assignment to conduct an interview with someone from another religion. Everyone I know is either not religious or is in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints. I need to interview someone who is NOT LDS.
1. What religion do...
After viewing some of the science vs. religion debates I had the following considerations.
Is it possible that some religous people understand various disciplines of science very well finding no contradiction between their particular religion and current accepted scientific findings?
Is it...
Question for anyone who wants to answer.
In your path, religion, lack of religion, walk, etc. do you:
Spend time fact checking the reasons why you believe in some things and why you reject other things?
Use a systematic approach to determine if what you beleif or hold by is realistic?

The mathematics belongs to material world. Thus, in spiritual sense can hold any formula, including 3=1.
The Love is the spiritual notion, because you are never finding word "Love" in Physics books.
Love is defined as what unites two (or more) persons into one being: He is You, and You is He -...
