Tell me about your god

Bionicman @Bionicman (3958) • Czech Republic 13 Feb 10

There's no clear definition of god besides "creator of the universe" and that leaves a lot of space for imagination. That's why the god is very subjective thing and everyone has different image of it and experience it in a...

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 14 Feb 10

I have a question that I would like some explanation on, and hopefully get some helpful answers. How did your god or goddess come to exist? Now just to be honest I have more understanding of the God of the Bible, but my question...

cannibal Creation is a misnomer; manifestation is the keyword. Creation brings along with it a series of unanswered queries, one of which you have rightly posed. Another significant pertinent question is how can something come out of nothing? On the other hand,...

cannibal None; if my opinion counts, you should stay with your ancestral faith. Why contribute to the already utterly ugly and stiff rivalry amongst religions as to which draws the highest number of converts? Of course, there is a chance that you might find some...

Solitary or group?

blummus @blummus (451) • United States 4 Feb 10

Although there are a number of Pagan religions today, most of the Pagans I know well who are not Hindis practice their religion alone or only within their families, so I have a question for anyone who cares to answer. How...

cannibal I would rather prefer it solitary. Worshiping in a group, though superficially appears as a booster of equality, my observations and experiences lead me to believing that it rather breeds the dangerous and unhealthy attitude of 'Us versus them'. In any case...

Reincarnation, what are your beliefs? Study may shock you!

EvanHunter @EvanHunter (4026) • United States 5 Jan 10

cannibal Reincarnation obviously cannot be proven objectively but there are certain 'tried and tested' methods to testify its validity. Whoever has indulged into deep meditation has affirmed reincarnation and therefore I reckon it does carry a bright chance since it at...

Many types of Christianity? Why? Why can't we have just one type?

ishme4nowz @ishme4nowz (679) • United States 22 Dec 09

I'm really curious about this. I know that different branches of Christianity formed because people had different ideas, but how else did so many different types form? Does anyone know? Why should there be so many different...

cannibal A devout Christian would argue that all the denominations except his own are a product of aberrations and therefore invalid. But as I see it (as a non-Christian) a close look reveals that denominations are just natural. This is because in my opinion...

Do you feel the world is an illusion?

Frederick42 @Frederick42 (2024) • Canada 19 Dec 09

there are some religions that say the world is an illusion. What are your views on this? If the world is an illusion, then I guess our pains, troubles, suffering is also illusion.

Frederick42 @Frederick42 (2024) • Canada 15 Dec 09

cannibal My position is as that of the responder above. I do not believe that the universe suddenly popped out of nothing- Neither by an external God's 'mercy' nor by its own. I reckon the universe is eternal although we can't say the same about the current physical...

Why do some people not believe in God?

theonerm5 @theonerm5 (365) • United States 3 Dec 09

Some people don't believe in God. Why? There has to be some sort of a God. How could we even be here if nothing created our universe? Something had to have done this. Even science now tells us that this universe was created...

Bionicman @Bionicman (3958) • Czech Republic 15 Nov 09

Do you believe that God is a being? Do you think he has some kind of physical shape and if you do, where do you think he is? Do you thing God is intelligent or more like some kind of force?
