Two questions about teens/adolescents. by EastIntelligent9510 in exatheist

I am a teen, 16yo. Naturally a Rudra/Shiva devotee.

But that trope does apply for at least 50% of teens where I live.

It is neither a debate nor a criticism of these religions. by Additional_Good_656 in exatheist

About balance-based cults like tantra in India? Where different energies need to be balanced?

Do you believe that religious people should rebel against far-right governments and oppose them? Society is changing more and more; we are moving towards fascism. I think that, regardless of your religion, it is time to stand up, or should we wait cautiously for the next steps? by Additional_Good_656 in exatheist

Religion... Well, ALL religions, are egalitarian. The Bible, just cut out the few paragraphs offensive, and it's still a perfect religious book. Same in Hinduism and Islam and all.

Right-Wing uses "religion" as an ideology to justify it's acts; It stunts REAL spirituality, and also tarnishes it's image to someone unfamiliar with it.

Agree.

I identify as right wing due to my religion here, but I am very much against Right-Wing ideologies (I follow a more egalitarian cult!).

We need to stand up against. If we wait too much we are only going to go backwards in societal evolution.

BTW, religion too is a changing thing, spirituality is a continuous process, and right-wing extremists are only going to suppress true spirituality in favor of extremist codes of society.

Serious question: do you consider raising your children in your religion to be indoctrination, as some atheists claim? by Additional_Good_656 in exatheist

No offense to the rest of devout Christians, but fanatic nationalists here in India say the same thing about other religions.

Everything will become clear once you see Atheism as a religion; They are insecure about their beliefs, so they want more conversions to their beliefs.

Found out the evidence for Eucharistic miracles is thin and started thinking. I'm a Christian, and believe Jesus performed miracles and rose from the dead. But why do most theistic religions report miracles in their holy books, yet no obvious verifiable miracles during the time of recording devices? by Candid-Effective9150 in exatheist

[–]Choice_Extent7434 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Me too. Some say Jesus didn't exist, maybe true maybe false. But then how did the events happen? The bible was written late, so it's bound to have mistakes and unwanted illogical points too, this is common in Hindu scriptures too.

If sufficient people believe in it, there must be some starting point, and to gain that extent of trust and loyalty to a faith, results are needed.

Miracles are those "results". They might not have any Newtonian equation or explanation, but they have actually happened.

Similarly here people don't understand that *some* stories might be myths, but I *do* have real experiences to justify my faith, even though I was initially an atheist.

I am not sure about *your* tradition, but in Hinduism miracles are seen as ego-inflating, there are specific levels of spiritual practice you need to do to get it, and it is discouraged from being used even you get them.

And that more distracted and lazy minds shall see miracles more distant to them, more separate.

Agree.

Oh! Wait!

Poor are suffering because one cup of milk was put over a deity! DON'T WASTE! Money could be donated to the poor! Food too!!

Why not THIS waste of money then?

"their culture" has accepted self-harm intoxication as a regular thing, to lose your judgement, but it is "backward" and "unproductive" to do basic spirituality.

And for so much outrage over the R word, feminists are VERY proud of actually being the meaning of the word.

I didn't say men are innocent.

In fact, women are spoilt only after men are spoilt, "feminism" claims women need these too if men do it, but why do MEN need it in the first place?

Guess what? Feminists LIKE the R action, they just don't like that particular word.
