Other religions

[vajradhara]

Thank you.

I can't decide. I am a Unitarian Universalist. At certain times I am more interested in one that another. For a while it was Buddhism, and now it is Christianity, which is why I am here on this forum, but I find it hard to talk to people about it because I keep getting preached to!

Namaste Maize,

funny thing, that

are you of a First Nation people?

shhh... don't tell anyone... but i had a UU minister perform my wedding ceremony so i could be all legal like it did strike me as a bit odd to see the panoply of religious symbols that they had, but it was pretty neat at the same time

My favorite to study is Sikhism. Sikhism has always been special to me do to the message of unity and equality for mankind.

I see this thread has turned into a religion debate instead of talking about what religions we like other than our own. This section is for discussion boards also, it doesnt always have to turn into a whose right or wrong debate. Sorry to the O.P. whose thread was hijacked by this endless battle.

If you ask me, religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and European paganism are the true religions of Satan. But that's another story.

Now as for Judaism, it includes many works that are not of God, including the Talmud and the writings of the rabbis. Personally I think that all of these works came from the same place as the Qur'an (whether that means the devil or not is up to you).

I guess I can say thanks to Satan for all my cool friends that are of all those religions. I personally have NEVER had a problem with Hindu's, Buddhist, Pagans. I rather go to hell with them than spent eternity in heaven with a bunch of judgemental closed-minded people. Guess I can thanks God for creating his angel Satan too, he did a great job creating religions that lead people to live positive and peaceful lives. This country has a lot of Satan's spawns running around yet the prisons are not populated by them.

No, I am not First Nation, sadly. I love the cultures and religions of the Native American groups, it's another thing I like to study.

In regards to Chirstianity, I'm very interested in the "behind the scenes" story of the compling of the Bible and the Gospels and writings of the early church that were left out. It's all very fascinating and sad how many don't know of them.

Please define "problem." A defintion of "closed-minded" (that is, in this context) would also be appreciated.

God created the world but satan seems to be ruling it. Where is God? He is on vacation since after 6 days of work! Amazing!

You dare to mock the Creator? I wouldn't! lol! You are far braver than me!God's timing is not the same timing as our's. It may have taken the Almighty God many, many years to create the earth.Satan owns MOST of the world today, God protects His children from the snares of the devil.
How long did it take your God to create the earth?

Can't everyone read the OP!

Thanks for ruining this thread guys... Goodbye.

Well im not getting into a debate on this with you since the writer of the O.P. does not want this turning into a debate. I'll just keep loving my friends for who they are and not what they believe.

Yeah, statements like that might make me think less of Hinduism, and then I remember that it's just Satay.

Would you like to continue this in a new thread? I would.

I study Thelema, Hinduism, Christianity (in mostly all of it's many many many forms), and Islam. The last three are more of a hobby to since I spend a majority of my time studying and practicing Thelema.

What is your favorite religion to study other than your own. If you are not allowed to study or understand other religions because your religion forbids it, please do not jump down my throat for asking the question. The question was not directed at you then.

It's difficult to say. Maybe Stoicism, if that counts as a religion. If not, then Buddhism.

 

[reg]

i like to study all religouns young and old

 

[Shy21]

I'd say that among my favorite false religions are Judaism and Islam.

I'd say that among my favorite false religions is just Christianity............

As far as normal religions....I love learning about all religions including Islam and Buddhism.

 

[Saraswati-Devi]

I love learning about GOD in everything, even religion.

I have been VERY interested in Hinduism lately.... mostly because I would like to incorporate much of it into my current religion/spirituality.

Judaism also interests me.

And hi Maize! Saw your name and noticed there was a fellow RFer here at CF.
