Celebrations or other events of which religions have you taken part in? :2wave:
 
I am in the happy position that I could click onto all the options - except "none".
 
Only 2 dared to vote.
Why are you so shy?

The vote is anonymous.
 
3 of the 3 voters have clicked for JEWISH.

Myself, I have been to the synagogue in Berlin once - and quite often to the synagogue here in the city where I live.

@ Kol Nidre

Kol Nidre /ˈkɔːl nɪˈdreɪ/ (also known as Kol Nidrey or Kol Nidrei[1]) (Aramaic: כָּל נִדְרֵי) is an Aramaic declaration recited in the synagogue before the beginning of the evening service on every Yom Kippur. Strictly speaking, it is not a prayer, although commonly spoken of as if it were. This dry legal formula and its ceremonial accompaniment have been charged with emotional undertones since the medieval period, creating a dramatic introduction to Yom Kippur on what is often dubbed "Kol Nidrei night".[

Funny ....

Hardly anyone dares to enter other churches than his own church, it seems.
Let alone synagogues, mosques, temples etc etc

Is it only out of lack of interest?
Or also cowardice and narrowmindedness?
 
No interest in widening your horizons?
Are you afraid to land in hell for visiting some place of another religion?

Catholic, Protestant, and Anglican are separate "religions"?

Or you may prefer the term "denominations".
But for me that's splitting hairs now,
Have you never in your life heard Catholic, Protestant, and Anglican referred to as "religions"?

But one can always willfully mis-understand things if only one tries hard enough.

That is sad.

The Blue Mosque, and right next door the Hagia Sophia (You to check Catholic, Muslim & Other Christian from that one lol). Both amazing experiences imo.

And also in my opinion!

So it is. And I wonder why there is so little interest.
Is it just lack of interest - or also fear?
What about Jehovah's Witnesses?
Is it true, that they are not allowed by their elders to enter any building of some other religion or confession or denomintion or whatever?

I suspect, that for them everything outside their own religion is pagan.
They alsway see paganism - here and there and everywhere.

IMO they're afraid. The god of the Christian bible is an evil being who tortures people in the most horrendous fashion possible, for eternity. And that God is clear that other Gods piss him right off. They're getting Pascal Wagered out of life.

So evangelical fundamentalists probably fear, that every second in a Catholic Cathedral brings them some extra centuries in hell-fire. :shock:

Because their God is a God full of love! :roll:

I've found that if one does not want to be misunderstood it helps to speak accurately.

Why would you wanna go into a place to sit and listen to what you know are lies, according to the Bible?:screwy
 
always ready to party, bring it on
 
Pssst...it's in your Bible, too...;)

Maybe, but you've demonstrated that you don't care what's in the bible, you care about believing what you want to believe.

We've been through this with Matthew 5:18, where you literally deny Jesus's words because if you did you would be faced with an ugly truth.:

Matthew 5:18
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

That Jesus believes and requires Christians to follow OT laws. Or are you claiming the earth has disappeared?

LOL, I feel sorry for you. You need to convince us that Jesus lacks the coherence of a typical Middle School student, but you really really wants to go to heaven. And you have no clue how to do it. This is what happens when you believe in the existence of a storybook character.

So which words did Jesus get wrong?

Wrong...I don't need to convince you or anyone else of a different time, different culture, different style of writing...the intelligent already know...
 
Is that a word out of the Good Book? :cool:

I could say more but I won't...he gets the gist..."A man of knowledge restrains his words.​" Proverbs 17:27...
