If You Could Travel Back...

...to an event in your religion's history, which event would you go visit? Imagine you can only do it once and so only see one event, but you'd be able to interact with the people and so on.

Since Noahidism isn't its own religion and is tied to Judaism, I guess I'll have to pick a Jewish event. So I would like to visit that time where Elijah shows the worshippers of foreign gods who's boss. Those familiar with the scriptures know what I'm talking about!

 

[Kirran]

I'd go back to any time during the life of Bhagwan Sri Ramakrishna, so that I could meet him. Or Sri Ramana Maharshi. A tough decision.

 

[lewisnotmiller]

Welp, I'm not religious, but I was raised Christian, and allow for the historicity of Jesus, so, something around the crucifixion. Actually, I'd pick the Resurrection. There ya go.

 

[savagewind]

Maybe I'd like to be there when the "angels" visited Abraham.

 

[Watchmen]

The crucifixion, the resurrection, or maybe Gilgamesh's interaction with the gods!

 

[Geoff-Allen]

I'd pick the moment the Buddha became fully enlightened.

Or maybe one of his first teachings ...

Interesting idea 4 a thread!

 

[crossfire]

I'd want to go hang out at Anathapindika's monastery, where so many breakthroughs in practice where made.

 

[LuisDantas]

I would want to meet Badshah Khan. Not sure at which point in time.

Assuming, of course, that means for actually understanding him were available. I don't think he and I had any languages in common, alas.

 

[Kemosloby]

I'd like a bite of that shiny apple.

I'd like a bite of that shiny apple.

What apple?

 

[The Emperor of Mankind]

I'd go back in time and prevent Emperor Julian from pursuing the Sassanid forces at the Battle of Samarra which is what got him killed.

I'd go back and tell Yazdegard to just accept his loss at Qadssiya and not try again and lose for good at Nehnavand

I love the way it's half one a.m. and we both clearly have nothing better to do than post imaginary scenarios on RF

 

[StarryNightshade]

I'd go back to meet Sri Ramanujacharya. Or maybe see the lilas of Krishna.

What was the significance of Emperor Julian?

He gave us a calendar, damnit.

Kings 18?

My theory is that he used some kind of highly combustable fuel on the sly.

 

[Vinayaka]

I would sit by Nandi in the courtyard of Tanjore temple and watch them put the several ton capstone in place. (Perhaps I did this already though. It felt like it.)

back to the resurrection of Lazarus

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

I'd go back to see the First Ancestors when they started the journey that I am just the latest extension of...
