    Robert F Kennedy Jr

    Normally I see him disparagingly referred to as an anti-vaxxer, and anti-science, but this BBC indepth piece makes for a much more balanced consideration of his approach to challenging health issues in the US: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ceq7jx3dlj9o One criticism I'd make of the piece...

    Recommended books on Hindu philosophy?

    I have a book on my Amazon wishlist about Hindu philosophy, but it's proving expensive and difficult to get. However, it was a somewhat random choice as I really don't know what I should be looking for in terms of reliability and coverage. Therefore can anyone here recommended any specific...

    Pope Francis has died

    Pope Francis has died: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqj42vd1rxlo By all accounts, he seems to have had a very real interest and focus on ordinary people, which made him easily likeable and popular. Of course, as one of my kids joked, because he died at Easter he'll be back in three...

    The Mind of the Universe: Brahma or Vishnu?

    I'm under the impression that there's a specific deity in Hinduism who represents the mind of the universe, but I always get mixed up whether it's Brahma or Vishnu. Is it one of these, or have I mixed up my concepts entirely? Thank you for any replies. :)

    What is the difference between a Satanist, Luciferian, and a Sinisterist?

    @'Amir Alzzalam & @Alif Balaam Yashin - would be very interesting to get your opinions on this. :)

    Pagan folk music

    Not sure if we have a pagan-folk music thread somewhere, but just wanted to post this while it's still on YouTube - previous version I liked disappeared! The imitable Einar Sellvik accompanied by the outstanding Eivor - and the Danish National Orchestra - performing what I believe is a...

    Spiritual lessons for your younger self

    I was thinking that if I could speak to myself in the past, I would definitely remind myself that everything will always be alright in the end and not to stress too much about anything. I used to be pretty chill, but I got quite stressed at the responsibility of raising a family, especially over...

    Miracle of the fishes was a natural die-off?

    I have to admit, I tend to take these reports with a pinch of salt, but I thought the story may or may not be of interest to at least some Christians, so here goes: https://phys.org/news/2024-11-jesus-miraculous-fish-explanation.html tl:dr - The study claims Jesus was preaching at the same...

    Suicide research thread removed

    Apologies for anyone who got a message saying their posts had been removed from the suicide research thread - I had only intended that message for one particularly insensitive member whose messages I sought to remove, but I also had to remove some replies quoting them and forgot they would also...

    How to meditate for beginners?

    Does anyone have any recommended resources on how to meditate for beginners? Meaning, I can search for online guides and videos myself - but I would like to know if anyone here meditates and if so if they have any resources they've used that they would recommend?

    New reactions

    Just to let everyone know that I've just activated a couple of the default reactions that come with the forum software - we now have wow, sad, and angry reactions. :) Not a big change, but I did notice their absence and seemed harmless enough. No plans to activate the dislike button, though. :)

    The Garden of Eden from a Jewish perspective

    I just thought I'd ask - the Garden of Eden section of Genesis is commonly discussed among Christians/non-Christians, but I would be curious to know any Jewish perspectives on this - especially about the Tree of Life and the serpent. From past experience, I expect there are a fair number of...

    Do you listen to audiobooks?

    Just wondered if anyone here listens to audiobooks? I'm especially curious to know if American listeners prefer to hear a narrator with a US accent rather than say a British one?

    Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

    Okay, finally watched this film. Though I've enjoyed some of Queen's singles I wouldn't really describe myself as a fan and didn't really know anything about the band's history. The film started slow and felt a bit flat, but it slowly but surely built up momentum so that by the end of the film...

    Comedy on YouTube

    Thought I'd start a thread about comedy on YouTube - just watched this guy and thought he was quite brilliant. :)

    Suspending the politics board

    When I original set up this community, I included a politics board because I hoped to invite considered and civilized discussion about wider politics issues, which often and inevitably have a religious aspect to them. I don't know if I ever succeeded in that aim in my original term here. It's...

    Handpan music

    I only came across this very recently - I find it an amazing instrument, played in an amazing way, with an amazing sound. :) Healing Frequency | 1 hour handpan meditation https://www.youtube.com/@MalteMarten

    The Empty Boat

    I recently enjoyed watching this short video, about a Buddhist parable on how to deal with anger at other people:

    Thank you, RJM. :)

    I just wanted to say a big thank you to @RJM for doing his utmost best to keep Interfaith running these past few years. I know it hasn't been easy for him, and I know even the best can struggle at any time running an active forum in general, let alone one based around such profound and often...

    Apologies for the downtime

    Just to apologise for the down time. We were originally hosted with Westhost, but over the last couple of weeks not only did they lose a full week's worth of posts, they also tried to migrate all of their clients to another hosting service and it went completely fubar, leaving all of their...
