    What is your mother's name?

    Create vs impregnate is the main issue. It depends how you define the words. Jewish father creates, Greek father impregnates. Jewish son is just a pious human being, Greek son is homoousios. When you start interpreting Hebrew metanarrative in terms of Greek metaphysics, only then Maryam gets...

    Teaching the concept of "Spiritual multilingualism" to children

    i think right thing is to have deep roots and broad branches, rather than confused branches and no roots. Deep enough roots will give them access to oneness, while broad branches insight into the condition of others. Pop spirituality is rubbish. Mix some vedic mantra with whirling dervish and...

    Would The World Be Better Off Without Religion?

    Greedism, under the garb of religion, areligion, consumerism, capitalism, freedom, democracy etc will continue to rule and slaughter humans for a long time. Vasco da gama crossed cape of good hope in 1498. How many wars have been fought since then for religion? Well, how many wars before that...

    The Whore of Babylon

    Prophecies are always like that, dont know why. You wont find any "humans will live happily ever after" kind of prophecy. Most probably because humans are like that. Cant live in peace, cant live without it.

    What is the problem with Islam?

    Sabbath basically is leaving the world behind for sometime, and become purely focussed on God. I dont know what are the worship regimen in Judaism, but in Islam, we have 5 times a day of prayer and fasting in the 9th lunar month, both are kind of mini sabbath, first one everyday. Why exactly...

    What is the problem with Islam?

    I havent seen any prophetic tradition saying this ten steps behind thing. If its a human tradition, then there is a place for it, you have all the right to choose to follow or not follow it. Just like drinking pepsi. Yes men are "Islamically" supposed to take care of their women, so if situation...

    G!d, G-d.... not God?

    I think its wierd, and I quite agree with what the Rabbi said. Taking God's name in vain means to me that God's name should not be used for earthly benefits. The orignal semitic diety was El/Ella/Allah. And these words are used every where in all languages, as in Gabri-El, Micha-El, Isra-El...

    There is no dichotomy between religion and science.

    Firstly, there is no one religion. This category "religion" is a badly concocted one. Putting confucianism, buddhism, christianity and islam in the same category is like putting orange and football in the same category because they are both spherical. So, first question, what religion...

    Question on traditional Karmic Law

    Well I am not from the karma camp, but have read it a lot and have reasonable knowledge of how it works. The current life is a karmic result of the seeds sown in the previous lives. So if one is mentally challenged, its because he did something evil in previous life. Now in this life, the karmic...

    On What are your Religious Beliefs Based?

    IMHO regarding Judaism and Jesus, divine teachings always have an essence/reason and a physical form or law. A lot of times people stress the letter so much that it kils the spirit, and these are the times when law needs to be loosened up. There are many examples of this in islam. For example if...

    Elvis has been purged from the building...

    I have seen one usual kind of Islamic exorcism. Recite some particular verses, blow it on water and drink, or spray on the walls of the house. Or recite it on Loban incense and burn it in the house. Experts work with energy entities of these verses, and actually kill the...

    FPMT (Keeping the Mahayana Tradition Alive)

    Well these things are impossible to prove, from efficacy of methods all the way to very definition of enlightenment. Buddhists (and others too) have been bickering over it for the last 2500 years. My opinion is based upon my studies and experiences. IMHO methods where a teacher passes down...

    FPMT (Keeping the Mahayana Tradition Alive)

    Just curious, why not theravada or vajrayana. I have studied theravada and vajrayana methods quite extensively (using books only, no teacher), and have reasonable experience in Sufi/Buddhist mind training. IMHO Dzogchen/mahamudra are the fastest technologies for enlightment in buddhism. But you...

    Sharia and social justice

    Its a difficult question, since Islamic intellectual tradition got destroyed by Mongols some 700 years ago, and now it has just started to resurrect itself. Whats being marketed as sharia banking is only slightly different from contemporary banking, so it wont be making any big difference in the...

    My epic failure

    Well, friendly advice, do take bipolar drugs (If the problem is still there), they work. Get some help from traditional medicine, Unani, Ayurveda, TCM etc. You can search for tamasic, rajasic, and sattavic food on the net, it helps a lot. Meditation is very important, for self help, bipolar...

    interfaith question: What is the "job" of the "church"

    Distribution of wealth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Top 0.111 percent own 80 percent of the world. And then they say religion is evil, we have to "get out" of it.

    How I wish this would work.

    See the thing with Sharia is that it cant be made so strict or liberal that it goes outside the premises of Sharia itself. Imposing Sharia on non-muslims is never a part of Sharia. Killing people just because they happen to be Christians or Shias is never a part of Sharia. Putting potato sacks...
