Comparative Religions 101 Guidelines

Welcome to Comp Religions, this is where the sights and sounds of the many world religions come together in a big World's Fair type atmosphere, without those delicious funnel cakes.

World Religions is a theist only type place, but that does not exclude certain religionists who practice non-theistic faiths ala Buddhism. If you are not sure, ask a moderator.

This is not a place where we argue the existence / non-existence of God.

And as usual, the forum rules apply.

    Yet another ad hominem, and untrue; I have no hostility for the Baha'i faith or you.

    βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι᾿ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι, τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον·
    ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους, τότε δὲ ἐπιγνώσομαι καθὼς καὶ ἐπεγνώσθην.

      My personal religious beliefs lie somewere between the Bahaii,theSihk and the Unitarian views. I personally agree a great deal with this posts view of evil and satan.

        That's funny, you told me you were closer to Gnostic Marcionite...

        Without a clear-cut definition of sin, morality becomes a mere argument over the best way to train animals

          What I relate too in Marcion is not entirely agreement with him. He saw the God of the Old testament as a separate entity from the one of the new testament. I on the other hand am very sceptical of the literal truth of the old testament. An example, I doubt that Noah had two of every animal on the ark. It seams like a myth that changed with the peoples imagination. Perhaps Noah existed ,but many myths older than the bible spoke of a great flood.

            Liking what someone says does not mean you ascribe to their religion.
