What other religion..?

Question

besides your own do you know the most about?

I saw Jamilah (sp?) formerly Mav mention she has studied, not converted, other religions. I have also studied quite a few. So who out there, has researched more than one, how many, how well do you know it, and is there anything good you can say about it??

Answer 1

I researched a few sects of Christianity but never converted.
Mennonites are very peaceful people.
Seventh-day Adventists are interesting and learned about their bible.
I respect the modesty of the females of the Holiness denomination.
Catholics have beautiful services.
JW are very friendly people (the ones I've met, at least)

I had a best friend who was Jewish and worked with a few Jewish people and I learned some about their religion but never converted.
I respect their devotion and loyalty to their beliefs.

I've read some about Zen Buddhism but never converted.
Unfortunately, I've never known anyone well who practiced long term. It seems like a peaceful religion.

I've studied about different sects of Wicca and have quite a few Wiccan friends, but never converted.
I like the importance they place on self-responsibility and respect their loyalty to their oaths. I like the fact that they don't believe in only one "true" way to worship/believe.

I'm starting to learn about Hinduism and find it fascinating. By far, I've studied about Wicca and Neo-Wicca the most. I'm secure enough in my faith that I'm not threatened by objectively learning about other paths. It's interesting and helps me to understand people better.

Answer 2

faith:- faith is a equipment of beliefs and worships which include a code of ethics and a philosophy of existence. there are a selection of faiths in the international at the moment. a number of those religions are of recent foundation yet maximum of them are very previous. truly all of us recognize from historic previous that guy has continuously had a faith. Even the primitive adult males residing in caves or jungles had some style of religion. The innovations and rituals in guy's faith have continuously developed and change into better rational and state-of-the-artwork as time went on. The primitive religions of the Cave guy and the Bush guy gave upward push to the prominent religions of the previous 3 thousand years. at the moment, the numerous religions of the international comprise: international faith ----- Originated in Zoroastrianism ----- Iran Confucianism ----- China Hinduism ------ India Taoism ------ China Jainism ------ India Judaism ------ Neat East Christianity ------ close to East Islam ------ close to East Buddhism ------- India Shinto ------- Japan those are the entire religions of the international which aren't from now on in straight forward words to blame for all our accrued wealth of understanding, philosophy, ethics, and social and moral codes, yet have brought on the way of existence, the language and the moral attitudes of just about each and every human being residing at the moment. massive difference between religious and Non religious Peoples. a million. The religious human beings believe in something at the same time as the others do no longer. 2. The religious human beings carry out particular acts of worship at the same time as the others do no longer. 3. The religious human beings look to stay with a particular code for his or her social and moral behaviour at the same time as the others do no longer. 4. The religious human beings come across a objective of existence and function a diverse philosophy in the direction of it, at the same time as the others do no longer.

Answer 3

Been doing it all my life and still. I find a lot of gems among the religious writings, but also a lot of crap. What I find is that religious praxis is generally worthless mass conformity, but some original authorities, like Jesus, Buddha, the Sufi masters, had some useful insights. I think for pure practical thought about living in harmonious community with other, the Sufi masters have my greatest respect.

Answer 4

I had the opportunity to study buddhism (mahayana) for 1/2 a year in an 80% buddhist culture. It's a good teaching in that it also stresses compassion and love for others. It only loses consistency at the very end of the reasoning. The ultimate reason for buddhists is "to attain nirvana" which is an inconsistently self-seeking reason for an otherwise selfless religion. Christ's teaching is superior because it is consistently selfless to the end - "to show how great love is"

Answer 5

I am Wiccan, I looked into Christianity and felt it was wrong for me. I have looked at some others as well but I feel my choice is right for me.

I think a lot of the writing about other faiths are quite beautiful, but it is the day to day dogma of the followers that I don't find attractive at all.

Answer 6

Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism

Answer 7

i have "dabbled" in hinduism, buddhism, the sikh religion, and a tiny bit of judaism and islam. I don't know anyone of them particularly well, but do enjoy learning about hem, so I will be watching this post, maybe I can learn a little more or find people who can help.

Answer 8

Christianity(8 yrs) Wicca(6yrs). I know them well enough. I can say many good things about Wicca. I can't say the same about christanity as a whole. And I am no longer either one.

Answer 9

Lets see, I'm Catholic. I've studied Wicca for five years, I'm studying other pagan sects, spiritualism, more about my religion, and I plan on studying about Islam and Judaism.

Answer 10

studied several and found value in all except those one might categorize as sorcery, and even those have valuable insights. Jesus however is the only one reaching down to give a hand up so why wouldn't a person take His hand in fellowship
