The question game

pretty simple, you ask a religion related question and the next person to post answers the question, then asks their own.. Might be fun, seeing weve got so many forus in this one religion/philosophy forum might learn stuff too! (NO biased questions either, like "who is our saviour" or "which is the true religion")

I'll go first with an easy one..

Which 'religion' believes that if it feels good, do it?

 

That would be humanism. =)

Which is the religion which practices the use of magick, uses runes, and advocates the casting of spells?

 

would that be wiccan (?)

What is your religion...if you have one (is that exceptable)

 

Agnostic. What religion believes that there is only one God?

 

Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Baha'i faith.

What do you think of ritual food?

 

I think ritual food is a likely unhealthy idea.

What do you think about fasting and other indulgence-denying practices (such as Lent)?

squawkers7: That's right, it's Wiccan! =D

 

Can see the logic behind it, but wouldn't do that myself.

Is 'God'; male, female or something else?

 

god is something else. a spiritual whole.

what is imbolc?

 

An ancient northern european festival celebrated on 1st feb.


Which ancient religion believed in a god of goodness and light called Ahura Mazda?

 

zoroastrianism

which philosophy has followers who mummify themselves while still alive?

 

Isn't that a paticular sect of Buddhist preists in Japan?

What experience in your life led you to accept your paticular faith?

 

The one experience that likely set my faith firmly in my heart was the relationship with my fiance that began a year ago. It was so much more amazing than anything I had ever imagined, dreamed, or even believed possible, that my faith in Spirit was greatly reinforced, and also was shown to have been weaker than I had thought up until then. I am the sole adherent to the faith of apathetic ignoramagnostic theism. I don't try to learn about God, or convert others to my faith, hence apathetic, I don't know much, hence ignoramus, and I am a believer, yet have an open mind to the possibility that I am wrong, hence agnostic theist.


Who is the bride of the lamb mentioned in Revelations 21:9, in the bible?

 

The bride of the lamb is refering to the true believers. Both those who have died and are already in Heaven, and those who will either die during the tribulation or make it through until Jesus returns.


What are some Buddhist chants and their translations?

 

I think nobody knew that one. So I'll ask a new question:

Do you think everyone is religious?

 

nope. Definitely not me.

Do you think we are biologically determined?

 

Yes.

More importantly, do you think that there is an ultimate direction to reality, that for one reason or none, points reality in the direction of structure, life, and evolution?

 

Yes. I do. I believe that everything that exist has a purpose and a regulatory mechanism, and history --both natural and social-- is linear will end a certain way.

now that we can explain "mental" phenomenon with completely physical explanations, why is the word "soul" still around?

 

Mind and soul are not the same thing.


What is the law for the aeon of Horus?

 

Do what you will.

Who does what they don't will willingly?

 

The brainwashed?? the braindead??? He or she who thinks they are doing God's will?

What are samskaras?
