Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI've been told the Spirituality forum was established because these same kind of hateful attacks were occurring in Debates and were moved out for reasons that are now obvious. This is an object lesson in how prone civil relations are to degeneracy at the hands of a few. Perhaps the forum should be re-named Religion, and a new Philosophy forum should be established. It won't get much more traction than Culture, but it will be a place to go where hopefully, self-righteous condemnations will be scarcer.
His Second Coming's a bit late for RHP Spirituality Forum Improvement, don't you think.

Sure, twhitehead . To paraphrase one of the English Empiricists whose name escapes me, 'We arrive at the truth through honest disagreement among friends'. Improvement of any conversation regarding the spiritual dimension of human life (as opposed to topics of a materialistic nature) begins with a premise of [b]"Tolerance" of Others" embracing opposi ve the privilege of requesting from each other is a fair shake, "Please Listen".

That is one of my main objections to religion. I say ...[text shortened]... gions. A god setting up such a self defeating system would be in my mind one sick insane individual.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyThere we have it, a most eloquent verification of sonhouse's point.

As there is a "plethora" can you give an example of two
"diametrically opposed religions" ?
Originally posted by wolfgang59How urgent and demanding. Nonetheless, the phrase "diametrically opposed" belongs to sonhouse. In context, I agreed with his observation. The question you've asked I answered accurately, to the best of my ability. Sorry you dislike the answer.
Give an example of TWO religions (eg Christianity and another) which
are "diametrically" opposed. And show why.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyYou didn't give an answer so there was nothing to dislike.
