    Members that I Miss

    Lol, my apologies - I was going to say Orthodox, but I wasn't sure how accurate my use of the term would be. :)

    Members that I Miss

    I miss bananabrain's sharp wit and stout defence of Judaism, yet his ability to engage sympathetically with a liberal Jew such as Dauer. Vaj had personal issues, and I've no idea how things might have developed since then. A shame as again he really contributed to the sense of community with...

    how to visit parallel worlds in your dreams

    You do realize the default response is going to be that you are dreaming, rather than visiting parallel worlds? And that it might actually be an example of Lucid Dreaming, where you take some form of control of your dreams?

    Religion and Prayer in the Workplace

    I suspect the entire issue of the original question isn't about whether prayer has its place in the workplace, but rather how much the separation of Church and state should be enforced in US government agencies, which I suspect might be more of a political question. I would hope we could avoid...

    Admins

    My bad, I was being sloppy with my use of language - I'm the only admin, and the moderating team can be found here: https://www.interfaith.org/community/members/?key=staff_members As the Christianity section is easily the busiest, we have what I hope is a fairly balanced spread of mods from...

    Can you believe In God, yet not in the Bible?

    Nothing wrong with having faith without an organization - you'll probably find that it's very common indeed. :)

    IS RELIGION actually a philosophy?

    Exactly. Philosophy was a world view that determined your actions. In the ancient and prehistoric world it's impossible to separate ideas of religion from daily living and world views - the language just wasn't there to do so. It would be like trying to separate belief that science and...

    IS RELIGION actually a philosophy?

    My understanding is that philosophy is effectively a framework for understanding the world around us on a fundamental level - so science would be a philosophical system, Christianity would be a philosophical system, etc. Trying to separate such systems from daily living, as is done with...

    What the Hell?

    Let's not make discussions personal, please - discussion the posts, not the posters, please. :)

    Robert F Kennedy Jr

    Here are a couple of pieces more specifically about that: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn7440-gender-bending-chemicals-found-to-feminise-boys/ https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-human-beast/201911/gender-fluidity-and-hormone-disruptors

    Robert F Kennedy Jr

    Normally I see him disparagingly referred to as an anti-vaxxer, and anti-science, but this BBC indepth piece makes for a much more balanced consideration of his approach to challenging health issues in the US: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ceq7jx3dlj9o One criticism I'd make of the piece...

    A Fireside Pulpit Talk

    Just to say, can we stick to posts where people their own posts and comments, please? I don't want to see discussions where responses are all automated, thanks, and AI has fundamental problems with facts and "hallucinations" enough without bringing them into the minefield of interfaith...
