    Do I even have a religion?

    Hello. I encourage you to be non-committal about religions. You are fifteen, and that means you are not the person that you will be. The best preparation to choose your religion is a moral life. So I encourage you to be moderate in all areas of your life, be judicious about how you spend...

    Original Sin

    I think I 'Was taught' the same as AussieThoughts. There is something I can imagine that could develop out of Judaism into the idea of 'Original sin' through the Christian lineage. Cutting away pride is symbolized in sacrifices where fat is cut from meat and in circumcision, and it represents...

    What is the problem with Islam?

    This I have heard, but I think earlier generations of Muslims had books with depictions of him in them. I don't think its as serious a stricture as people say. Probably it is just a lot of ado about nothing.

    Do You Cross Yourself?

    The Evolution Conflict

    I think I agree. Evolution requires many, many deaths, so its not like every mutation is good. Most of them are troublesome, like trying out new recipes without any prior experience often yields bad food.

    What's in your Spam Folder?

    My oldest email accounts have very busy spam filters, but newer accounts don't seem to have any spam. I think web sites have gotten more responsible, and new email addresses are less prone to spam.

    Christian Community Living

    The Quakers might fit your description where no one denomination is promoted, although I don't know if they live in a community. They have meetings.

    New Scientific Theory Suggests Consciousness Does Not End at Death.

    Different decisions mean different people. If I have an alternate self who makes a good decision, then they deserve the reward for it.

    Buddhism and Christianity

    The different kinds of Buddhists seem to parallel some of the different kinds of Christians. Pure-land has an equivalent and very similar form in some branch of Christianity. I think Theravada has an equivalent form in a branch of Christianity, too. I cannot really explain why there are so...

    Tolerance

    Yes they do. I agree, but I do not believe that it comes naturally. Its a difficult position to take and for me requires time and experience. I think you can tell it to children (or to adults either), and they hear the words but may not incorporate them. The challenge of a lifetime is to see...
