7: 57 My way of being Christian isn't like how the Romans did it - which is good news for me, as I lack the moral courage to face off against a lion in a coliseum On that note, it's important to remember that cults are just religions that haven't gathered a large enough number of followers (Christianity used to be considered a cult in the Roman Empire, and Christians were persecuted for it. They're only as powerful as there are people who believe in that power.

I disagree with the notion that colonialism made no sense. The reason was to increase the resources of the northern European empires/countries at the expense of the southern African, Asian and American empires/civilizations. Religion was just one tool in the arsenal. Ofc Europe was not the 1st and only civilisation to come of with this concept, just the most recent and large scale.

I wish religions supported personal interpretation more. But I wonder how many organized religions would fall apart if that happened My childhood religion would. (Then again, my belief of there is a god, or doesn't interact with the universe would kinda make sunday school discussions fall apart. )

today i learned that episcopalian christian is a subset of anglican christian. I was raised catholic and while what i was taught talked about many types of catholisism (jesuits, franciscans, dominicans, etc) it lumped all chistians who were not catholic as protestant and went no further.

Yeah as far as I know the only religion that fits all the stereotypes about religion is Catholicism (organized, big emphasis on dogma, credal, claims authority passed down from the founder, encourages conversion, believes it's the only completely right one, has a visible leader, etc)

This is really timely especially given Pope Francis' statements that all religions lead to the same place. Which may or may not be problematic depending on how you look at it. It's still a HUGE step for the Pontiff to state that all religions are valid.

I had no idea there were that many Sikhs: I always assumed they were a tiny group. Thanks, John. I’m learning stuff already (while being annoyed that I wasn’t taught about that in school.

I wonder how much of this Big 5’ is a US issue. When I was at school (UK, we actually covered the Big 6’ which included Sikhism and I seem to remember learning a lot about it.

Now, John. You of all people should know that you don't disparage the good name of Taylor Swift. In many ways, that might be worse than disparaging a religious belief!

Religion is man-made. Even the men who made it cannot agree on what their prophets or redeemers or gurus actually said or did.

I have to imagine a Coexist with the 10, 000 religions would be a bit too big and busy for a bumper sticker.
It is the sentiment that counts really.
