No...lol

Again I don’t consider those to actually be religions

They *could* get something good out of it I guess, but it’s not fitting what I’m saying about religions

It’s good to have awareness and collect information of world truths I think and spot similarities I think

Oh an example I just thought of

Okay I will play 'Devil's Advocate' here: To some who believes in the spirituality of Mother Nature say it is a religion. They are peaceful and believe that Mother Nature made Earth (Think Terra/Gaia or Geb).

You dispute that that isn't a religion?

But a cult?

4 years ago I got deeply interested in Vedic astrology & other Vedic teachings, so I heard & read up on a lot of the stuff JG is talking about. Back then I wasn’t Christian but I had the same attitude towards it that I respected it & I still believed in god. But now that I’m Christian I spot the similarities and wise teachings on life, karma, & moral character.

So that’s all I mean

Not the same thing as worshipping or congregating over it, like with the other stuff you brought up, I kinda get that picture in my head

Yeah I think that’s a little more cult like

If that is the case, why didn't you stay as a Vedic astrologist if they are similiar?

Bc my soul felt more drawn to Christianity since it’s a part of my culture. I don’t live in India & I was also baptized catholic.

There are people who worship Terra. That is their religion and it reflects the similiar ideologies.

I think that people should respect their traditions basically

I see

Like I said, all other things like that is okay to get interested in & learn about, but I wouldn’t say worship it

entertainment value?

🆙 | **csquare leveled up!**

Usually religions that teach the right things I feel always point back that god is above all and without him we wouldn’t have these numerous forms of religion & philosophies

Well let me give you and example. My brother is an American. He grew up baptist... and he converted to Hinduism several years ago. He's black, not India. That point you made is not valid.

Indian*

? 🤔 I never said he’s in the right for doing so

Possible, @csquare

I just said people should respect their traditions so honestly I would think that he should have stayed Christian

But that is his right.

It’s his right yeah

I just think it’s peculiar

Hmm

I respect the voice inside that said my tradition were trash and let em go. I KNOW what you mean tho

I think I think this way similarly to interracial dating

Which is why I asked him the question of if the ideologies are similiar, why not study Christianity because it is the root? He got mad, you said I had an ego for asking.

Do you see where I am getting at?

I see it

I just don’t think it’s important where a person studies, as long as they remain their loyalties to the traditional religion of their culture

Again, he is black and not Indian. Not valid.

That’s why I said I don’t think he should have done that lol

I think if he was interested in the Veda’s by all means he should have studied it, but stayed Christian at the same time

If the Apostles travelled this earth to speak of Jesus and God, and people didn't make up their own religion based off this root, the world would be better.

You can't worship multiple religions at once, that is against the teaching of God.
