Actually the above highlighted is blatantly false big time as to what was documented at the time. There is no evidence of Jews even supporting Israel in any significance nor attempting to fight from within. There were not any significant incidents by Jews within Egypt reported during this time...

I believe it is unrealistic to blame the west entirely for the conflicts where the nature of Judaism, Christianity and Islam contribute equally to the unfortunate bloody conflicts in the Middle East and Europe over time. The brutal historical conflicts between Sunni and Shite Islam is Islam's...

Spirituality is only meaningful to me if it is the nature of the universal in Creation in an evolving natural diverse spiritual and physical process. Ancient religions have more of a wooden limited view of spirituality related to only their religion and cultural context whether Judaism...

Your loading up this question with too many different questions. First, "It is possible that life to be just an error in our Universe?" No, whether God(s) exist or not, life could not be likely described as an 'error.' It is the result of natural processes and Natural Laws, and not errors...

I believe the Day of Judgement is not the end of all existence and Man will be judged by God to live in the Afterlife whether in Heaven or Hell, it is an interpretation by some or many Christians and Muslims, but not all. No, the Baha'is do not believe there will be judgement Day where there...

Unfortunately egoistic arrogance of the 'only one way' religions breds violence without end, and gives religion a bad

Frank is fine. Btw thank you for your response and the time put in for the brief explainations. I've heard of Baha'i faith but never asked. Hope to learn more and understand from your perspective. Do correct me if I did not comprehend based on your perspective. Fundamental beliefs: Baha'i...

the problem is how one defines religion. If religion is simply what one believes or not believes concerning the spiritual nature of existence. This belief may be organized, disorganized, individualized, herd wised, personalized or whateverized. In fact I do not believe that one must believe in a...

Actually the belief in the soul as uniting with God is more a variation of panentheistic view not pantheism. Pantheism is simply that the physical universe is defined as God. Simply the Sufis believe that humans can mystically commune directly with God without Revelation and guidance as the...

Nowhere is now here

The same is often described this way in the Abrahamic religions. First, the text of the OT indicates a distinct polytheistic culture among early Hebrews belfore 1000-700 BC. This evolved into a Greater God with lesser gods to a Tritheism found in Christianity. the Descriptions of polytheism in...

Frisbeetarians blame dogs for their misfortunes and sins. 'My dog made me do it.'

If your dog gets your frisbee your toast, and end up chewed and flipping in the surf.

I am a Baha'i from an agnostic perspective. Lots of Baha'i references that deal with this but . . . The Baha'i Faith believes in an evolving progressive Revelation for all of Creation and the spiritual evolution of humanity. Religions and faiths are belief systems that reflect God and...

Actually no, what appears to be gods in Hinduism are aspects of the one 'Source' the Brahman. If you are a Trinitarian Christian the belief in multiple gods making up one god is even more problematic, especially with the Devil and a pantheon of angelic gods.

Your view expressed here is the principle problem of justifying any one belief 'as the correct and those that are similar are varying degrees of correct.' I would never recommend 'the grab and choose', but the most problematic is the emotional blind attachment (elephant held by a thread) that...

The artistic value, and deep philosophical meaning found in literature including sacred texts, philosophy, fiction and others is a given as attributes of being human. The justification that sacred texts 'give people strength and a divine power to trust on,' is a weak codependent attempt to...

Misunderstand is a dominant human attribute regardless of what we believe. Considering the fallible human nature, and the diversity of beliefs it is more likely that regardless of what we believe we are all wrong.

Long term problems of getting white screens, and failure to open threads, and very slow response. go with the flow the river knows . . . Frank
