All Religions

[Unofficial Reverand Alex]

I think it would be very interesting for people of all religions, denominations, personal directions, and all that jazz to have a forum where we all can just get a better idea of what all's out there than just what we're used to. I just like seeing different cultures & philosophies, and we really can't fully understand Christianity without understanding other beliefs.
Also, one dedicated to people unsure of religion, or people that make their own religions, or other such topics would prove highly interesting, I think.

Or..............when one fully understands Christianity, there is no reason to understand religion.

There is already such a forum - Christianity and World Religion.

Statement of Purpose - Christianity and World Religion Statement of Purpose

Thats a good idea. Its probably hard to implement without having too many non christian-only threads that may outweigh the christian-only ones. Another site I go to calls it Interfaith religion. No one debates but its a general smorgsboard of people of any religion to talk.

Another issue I see here is some christians cant talk much here and others arent considered christian. So, a lot of christians would be belittled because they want to talk about Christ but cant without filtering their vieww where non christians arent expected to. It puts them in the middle.

Otherwise, its a good idea.

"Religion" is separate and apart from Christianity. Religion is easily compared to Judaism or Catholicism, where there is structure, involving obedience to policies and procedures, "staying saved," "falling from Grace," along with pharisees and popes, mystical influences, signs, cultures, philosophies, intellectualism....... Christianity is simple, child-like Faith in Jesus as Savior, plus nothing.

It is a Pandora's box you are opening; religions are like clubs, they can be useful if salvation is not required; and each one is a different language or culture. What you may have in mind is multiculturalism.

A useful subject to ponder is did God give Israel a religion or a system of government and then all the old Pagan religions were always coupled to systems of government.
