Yes I suppose, I am mostly European though. I am only like 1% Iranian, thus they must have been ashkenazi Jews I guess but I do not know when they stopped believing in the religion, it must have been some time ago. I forgot to mention I am Inuit as well, like 1% I guess. That’s almost kind of...

I was just wondering if anyone here has Jewish ancestry at all and how it has influenced or affected their self identity and concept? I personally find it strange that I might have some Jewish ancestry as I do not really fit the stereotypes at all, by American standards I would be a pretty...

“both Christianity and Judaism have emphatically rejected the Manichaean doctrine that either the created world as a whole or the material part of it is inherently evil. Christianity holds rather that evil is the result of the misuse of their free will by created beings and that the body, with...

He-Man is the ubermensch, and likewise the falcon flying over his head represents the political wings, but understanding the true nature of both, he is able to transcend the political spectrum and become a true master of his realm; he is able to transcend boundaries. I also see it like the...

(But then I kind of think Friedrich Nietzsche is evil as well a little bit) But it depends, his philosophy is somewhat complex it can be hard to interpret clearly.

I wonder somehow if I am hardwired to be more communal because I wonder why we cannot simply for the benefit of the community or others, but at the same time find fault in this as well, because again it often turns to violently oppressive regimes and tyrannies. It just seems like when you...

Honestly I have always believed in God, I was raised to be a Christian and raised around a lot of very religious people who were devoutly religious thus I understand spirituality and religion adequately enough. I have learned various subjects in an attempt to understand the world, but every time...

I have believed in God for most of my life but considered myself agnostic, but lately have been struggling with atheism as I have trusted and tried on numerous beliefs and then back around to the bible, and I felt like certainly at this point the bible was true and I felt illuminated but...

I have been having this issue with religion that is similar to what I have had with spirituality in that generally it’s belief can seem to condone or support views that are a little too removed or attached for me. Like for example, I truly believe that it is quite observable but progressively...

I do not know if I believe the interpretation or conception that god proceeds all things as it seems to denote that the physical world does not matter at all. It seems religious people are fine with supposedly condemning others for supposedly not believing in “God” enough somehow, and basically...

It just seems largely like another potential system of oppression that already has a historical track record that exists. What about burning people at the stake for supposedly being witches? I wish there was some way to discern whether people’s intentions were more true, because it can be so...

Too subjective

It says in the bible that Jesus was Jewish man born in Bethlehem and lived in Nazarene. You can faith in god and still believe in the laws of physics and gravity, sorry. Moses parted the “the Red Sea” what does that mean, lol. THE RED SEA.

He was a Jewish man from the Middle East lol. I guess I have faith in the accounts of him being a Jewish middle eastern man, thus is a core aspect of the bible I believe, it is pretty common wisdom and generally undisputed as fact. He was not literally a God/deity as that goes against the...

He was supposedly a descendant of David from Israel, and then he supposedly fulfilled other mandates for being considered the messiah from the Hebrew bible, but was generally disregarded by the Pharisees/Jews at the time, wth? Ugh, I still think Jesus was a flesh and bone human without earthly...
