    Buddhism is a Religion of War

    "So, historically, Buddhism has been no more a religion of peace than Christianity." Such words were echoed by the BBC in light of the ongoing conflict between Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims in Burma. The acts of radical Buddhist monks attacking Muslims has led to the BBC criticizing the whole...

    Anime with Christian morality?

    Perhaps this is a little hypocritical coming from an atheist but since this is a Christian forum, I guess this thread could be interpreted as relevent. The anime that best embodies Christian morality is in my opinion the Clannad series. It highlights the importance of family, and touches on...

    A pro-life atheist testimony

    I would first like to point out that being pro-life should not be seen as a political or religious issue, it should be rightfully seen as a matter of protecting the most vulnerable and weakest of people on the planet, those who deserve to have a choice over their right to life yet cannot...

    From Catholicism to atheism

    I used to be Catholic...yet I found that by accepting evolution and thus rejecting the literalism of the Bible, I hammered the last nail into the coffin of my Christian beliefs. The fact that I rejected the Bible's literalism made me in turn question the Church's beliefs which, while much of...

    Would you marry someone outside your race?

    (Fully aware that I'm a couple years short from having access to this forum, strictly speaking, but the teen forum is too inactive). This was quite a popular topic in the young adults forum, I wonder how it'll fare here. In my opinion skin colour does not matter one bit to me. Personality...

    Favourite national anthem?

    There are a range of national anthems which I love such as that of Turkey, Germany, Israel, USA and France. However my favorite national anthem has to be that of Russia. It is beautiful and its power resonates the majesty of Russia's rich history and pride. I guess the composer must have...

    Protestants: Are Catholics unorthodox?

    From my experience with non-Catholic Christian sources, as well as various CF posters, I have found that people tend to throw Catholics into the same category as unorthodox Christians. I've seen on websites such as Carm and Got Questions that if one truly follows the Church, they will be...

    LDS: ''Golden Plates''?

    In terms of theology, Mormonism is incompatible with most Christian denominations. However I've found that the faith itself, while having many virtues (the Family Home Evening is a great example for all Christians), is riddled with flaws surrounding its background. I'm a little concerned about...

    Anybody into music? (all ages)

    (MusicianForHim already posted a similar thread in the young teens forum, this has been made in case one would not need the age requirement). I've always been a lover of music, nearly all varieties (sadly I'm not much of a fan of the neo-electronic music such as Skrillex, but that's just me)...

    Question about Liberal Christianity from a Catholic

    Hey, fellow brothers and sisters in Christ! I have some queries surrounding liberal Christianity. Do you take Christianity liberally, meaning that there are some parts of the scriptures that you reject, or do you align yourselves as politically liberal, identifying with the progressivism of the...

    Jack Chick....*Face palm*

    When I first read one of his (ultra) anti-Catholic tracts, I clearly knew that he was joking and simply having a little fun. Little did I know that this guy was actually for real! I mean he says that we worship the ''wafer god'', that the Church is the beast in Revelation, that the NIV is a...
