If you have a few minutes to spare, watch this short clip from an interview with Bertrand Russell. It summarizes several of his most important thoughts on God, religion and beliefs. One thing that I find fascinating in what he says is: "either a thing is true or it isn't; if it is true, you...

Personally, I have not yet read any of the holy books of other religions, but I want to do so, if God wills it. Have you read any of the holy books of other religions (besides your own)? If not, do you intend to give any a read in the future? Why or why not?

Is there a faith movement that is close to what you believe to be the truth in regards to Christianity?

Have you ever told God during prayer that you were angry at Him? How did you phrase it? Did you use respectful words or did you pour out your emotions in violent ways?

I invite you to watch the first 12 minutes of this video and share your thoughts below. I promise it is worth watching; it is the most interesting thing I've listened to in quite a while. I was taken aback by how antithetical his views on God and religion are to what we're taught in Christianity.

Do you have any thoughts on the matter?

A very interesting video in which a Jewish Rabbi explains why the rules given by God are necessary and why "just following our conscience" is not enough.

God did create the reproductive organs for men and women to procreate, but He did not create sex as a means to seek pleasure. That is what Jesse Lee Peterson is stating in this video and that is what God seems to have been leading me to believe as He has been changing me over the past year...

One of my goals is to get as many people as possible to read the essay "Justice" by George MacDonald. If you have some free time (about an hour or so), please read (or at least skim through) this essay, and briefly share your thoughts in this thread. I'm looking forward to finding out how much...

Here's a quote from Saint Gregory of Nissa's writings: Share your thoughts on the matter.

I have no idea what I am missing, whether it be intellectual, emotional, spiritual etc. I genuinely cannot come to terms with the idea that belief / faith is volitional, namely something that we can choose to have or not have. It just doesn't seem to be that way to me. I don't know how to muster...

I saw @Stravinsk mentioning this in another thread and I'd like to discuss about it with him. I don't know much about it, but I do agree with the idea that some of the teachings from Paul's letters seem to contradict the teachings from the 4 Gospels. Do you guys think that Paul misunderstood the...

Watch the video and share your opinions about his perspective.

If your faith is strong enough as to not leave any room for doubt, this topic is not for you. Please move on and pray for the rest of us. If your faith isn't strong enough as to reject the question "what if we're wrong about our beliefs?", you're invited to answer how often and how intense your...

I've been seeking Him for about a year or so after having lived in sin for many years. I know the parable of the unfair judge and the persistent widow, but things seem to be going worse in my life ever since I've started seeking Him (maybe it's a matter of coincidence, so I ask Him for...

What is your view on Howard Storm's experience? He seems to have been either one of the luckiest people ever (talking to Jesus about so many things and being given a second chance!), or deluded by the enemy. Share your thoughts. Have you read his book?

Can any demons (ex-angels who followed Satan) be forgiven and saved if they repent and ask God for forgiveness? Does any doctrine about this issue exist? Also, what would happen if a demon would turn against Satan and decide that (s)he no longer wants to follow him? If God wouldn't redeem...

Some people say that praying to God might not change situations, but might change our attitude towards those situations. For example, if we are sick and pray for healing, God might not heal us, but He might use the time we spend in prayer to change our mentality from "I am so miserable because I...
