Most Read This Week In Religion

[close] A space for thoughtful discussion on theology and its relationship to meaning, morality, human psychology, and society. This group welcomes diverse traditions, philosophical inquiry, and reflective dialogue about sacred texts, inner life, ethical questions, and the role of religion in the modern world. The goal is not preaching or debate for victory, but understanding, exploration, and respectful exchange of ideas. Remember that respect comes first. Disagree with ideas, not with people. No insults, ridicule, or hostility toward beliefs or non-belief. Feel free to share perspectives, interpretations, and experiences, but this is a discussion space, not a place to persuade others to adopt a faith, so basically no preaching or conversion attempts. Stay thoughtful and on topic, posts should relate to theology, meaning, morality, sacred texts, psychology of belief, or religion in society. Interpretations are welcome, claims of absolute authority are not. All comments and conversations must be in English. Don’t hesitate to open a topic under any theme that has already been featured. If you’re unsure where your topic belongs, you’re welcome to ask in the Open Discussion under the thread titled Topic Creation. And don't forget that we also have a Cafetaria for casual conversation or introductions in the Open Discussion section.

[close] This is just a little group I've put together out of boredom! If you're like me and have lots of good/stupid ideas that need to be spread to the world, this is the place for you! But first, just a bit of info on what this group is intended to be like. I'll try to consolidate it. - You will probably be better off if you know a lot of things and have a desire to discuss big ideas, like religion (non-controversial) and philosophy! Of course, you can join anyway. Big ideas won't be the only thing discussed here. I have a feeling that there will be lots of talks about anime. If that's what people actually care about that is. - Expect stupidity. Topics normally reserved for dignified nerdy people will be discussed here, and while a vast majority of people here will probably be nerds - like me - there will be pure stupid things said. And that's okay, stupid things are sometimes the most entertaining. - You probably saw this coming, but more than just books will be discussed here. However, feel free to discuss books if you'd like!

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.
