Can you please share with me more about being Jain?

I am interested in learning more about Hare Krishna's...

I am new here and I am just trying to learn as much as I can about some religions. Tell me about B'Hai...

Ok I am going to throw in my two sense worth... I make my living with children. I love their optimism, their honestly and above all I love that they are learning... all the time. If I were to take one of the children in my centre and decide that they had a "talent" be it art, acting, singing...

Learn maybe not... to be challenged those were my hopes. I just moved to a really, small town (6 mos ago) My hopes have not only been dashed...they have been ground... against the rocks of human ignorance.:eek: I found the website out of desperation!

You got a cencensus out of this.... I am more confused than when I started... And I'll take a cup of tea as well, thanks.

I am new to this and unfamiliar. I just googled it though to read on my lunch. During a really hard time of my life someone shared with me her belief in Mayan Philosophy because they believe that for every negative there is a positive and that for every positive there is a positive. It is a...

My first reference was to "Hollywood and fashionable religion!" We got a little side tracked with the merits of TV. I don't see the value in the moral lesson of most TV shows or movies because often the lesson is hidden so far underneath the layers of violence and unkindness. The TV itself, a...

It is that very question that keeps my mind going and going and going... Great! Possibly both, we crawled out of the muck and evolved and along the way some really really inspirational people came along, people perhaps more highly developed than others at the time. Maybe we were put here by...

So I guess that if we were going to talk about religion and Hollywood we would have to talk about LOST. That is a show that has a lot of overt as well as hidden religious ideas. I have to say that I love it and I thought it was going Buddhist with their "Dharma Initiative" themes and then I...

I think that the best answer is either both or neither. But who knows, it seems as though I in my western thinking have tried to fit, that which cannot, into the box of my current knowledge.

Well as the newbie, I think that it is my responsibility to change so I will do so, thanks Snoopy.

I am not sure. I am an Early Childhood Educator and find most of the stuff while, not doubting there may be some morality somehere, is already ruined by so much of the "other" stuff that the value is truly lost. Of course Scientology is leaking into some of our stuff when the big shots start...

WOW! I knew we weren't alone...

Hi everyone. I found this website when I was online yesterday. I am so happy to have found a place where people are interested in the same things as me. I am very, very interested in religion and politics and how religion affects politics and vice versa. I am Canadian and I live close to the...

Thanks! I have read quite a few of your posts as I made my way around. You have some very interesting perspectives. I will check out the link. My two sisters and I have such different beliefs and I think to know what they believe is only going to help me to better know them. And support...

So then, I have a question, isn't the fact that Buddhists' don't believe in a higher power part of why Buddhism is not considered a religion? I came across a lot of information that referred to Buddhism more as a "school of thought" or a "system of beliefs" than a true religion. Any thoughts...

I don't know. I don't know if the beliefs are specific to bands or if they follow the same philosophy. All I know is that it is really with nature and that my sister has cards, similar to Tarot, that she uses.

Hi there I am just trying to learn more about my sisters beliefs in First Nations and/or Native American Religion.

Hi There. I foloow Buddhist beliefs, one of my sisters is paegan and the other follows first Nations beliefs. I am trying to understand a little more about their beliefs... can anyone shed any light on this subject?
