Each religion seems to say that we must believe everything they "hand to us" without questioning it. They claim their interpretations, instructions, and beliefs come directly from God. And people believe this, even when these things differ from religion to religion. Each religion claims that only "their way" is the "right way". What about this: if God really is our Creator, and He resides inside of each of us, why then, can't we trust what our hearts (where He resides, and where he speaks to us from) is telling us about what is right and wrong? Why shouldn't we question what we hear (if it feels "wrong"?) when it comes from others? Is it not right to question what MAN tells us is divinely inspired? We have a "direct line to God" right here inside of us...and people do not listen. They listen to (and follow) what other MEN say they should.....and no one seems to think for themselves....they blindly follow....right off the path of real enlightenment. Your thoughts please?

I am thinking of doing a series on Judaism but I am not sure whether there are enough Jews here to answer my questions.

I'm currently going to Physical Therapy due to a car accident in April and my therapist is just great. So far I learned how to say thank you in Mandarin, but I want to give him an appropriate-traditional Chinese "thank you" gift. He is an older man in his 50's from Taiwan.

Jesus never mentioned Paul, but he did mentioned false prophets would come and say they were affiliated with him.

I'm 21 French gay man and I do like Asian men. But when someone say they like White men, I feel strange. It's like they like not the person but the race? When someone say they like all colour of men or something like that, I agree. But I do like Asian men lol

Is it bad thing to say my preference of race?

I live in the Bible belt. Everyone thinks THEY know everything there is to know about the word of Jesus. I believe Jesus himself could come down to earth and speak, and some of these people would be like, " No Jesus, you ment this in this vurse."

There was a Buddhist story about enlightenment that had the main character see through the clouds to the blue sky above. Seeing the sky was the equivalent to enlightenment and he tried to explain what the color blue was like to those who were not enlightened/had their heads under the clouds.

Does this ring a bell to anyone?

him/her, would the athiest go to heaven. If he/her was good for their whole life would God only take into consideration the fact that the athiest did not believe in him. Also are good deeds better when they come from a religous person

"Beware the stare of Mary Shaw
She had no children, only dolls
And if you see her, do not scream
Or she'll rip your tongue out at the seam."

I crave the community of a chruch- but I feel awkward and unusure around all relgions I've been exposed to. What are some of the lesser known religions? What kind of sites focus on these. Is there any sort of a "religion search" where I can state what is important to me and it will show things that are simmilar. (I have tried belief net but I'm looking for something simmilar but new)

For example, one may have non-practicing christians or non-practicing Muslims. My question is why are non-practicing christians still considered christians? why are practicing Muslims still considered Muslim. Isn't the whole idea behind having a religion is to practice it?

Your only options are to leave him with an atheist neighbor or with a openly gay Christian neighbor... You know them equally and not that well,
With whom would you leave your child behind?

Why don't we all look alike? Why do we have different fingerprints? Why don't we run in packs? Like the same things? Eat the same things?

I've seen many postings from people of every walk who assume that "the other side" (whatever seems to be 'opposite' their belief) transcends into "they are not using their minds" or "they are not being logical".
why is that?
If everyone is supposedly illogical or not thinking, doesn't that mean that we are ALL illogical? Do we all NOT use our minds??
