people who are completely anti-religion/theology/spirituality need to unpack a lot; destruction of religion can be an sact of cultural genocide. divorcing religion and/or spirituality from culture is nearly impossible and would strip elements of a culture inherently

I run a discord server called Garden of Eden. It has 400+ members. It's a general religion and spirituality server for all people and faiths, mainly for discussions and community rather than debate. We watch shows, and anime, play games, share art, talk about stuff unrelated to religion, and so on. Everyone is welcome, no matter their faith or background. We have a friendly community and love getting new members, so please message me or reply to the post if you want to join.

(If you just like the post without messaging or replying, I won't assume you want a link.)

Chandragupta Maurya, the founder of the Maurya Empire in ancient India, is said to have had a group of female bodyguards known as the "Virangana" or "brave women." It's believed that he chose female warriors as bodyguards because he considered them to be loyal, skilled in combat, and less likely to be influenced by political agendas or power struggles within his court. Additionally, having female bodyguards may have also served a symbolic or propaganda purpose, showcasing the strength and capability of women in his empire.

Questions for fellow converts (from/to any religion):

I've picked up multiple new(ish) followers who are converts to other religions, as well as continue to have lots of gerim and conversion students to Judaism following me. So I'm curious about your experiences!!

What were you raised as and what did you convert to?

How involved were you with your religion/religious community growing up?

Did you continue in your original religion as an adult before converting out?

What made you decide to leave your former religion?

Why did you decide to convert to your new faith?

Did you go through any other religions or belief systems before landing on your current community?

Do you believe in any God or concept of the Divine, and if so, how did that influence your decision to convert (if at all)?

Did you have any sort of numinous experience that contributed to your feeling called to your chosen religion?

Did you have any experiences of the Divine in your religion of origin, and how have you synthesized that into your religion of choice?

Do you still believe in God or Gods or any concept of the Divine?

Do you feel like you were "called" or that you were "meant" to be part of your current faith? If so, why do you think you were placed outside the fold as a starting point?

Given the preceding question, how much choice do you feel like you had in converting? Do you feel like you could be any other way or on any other path now?

What does it take to be fully accepted as a full-fledged member of your chosen community and have you finished that process?

How long did your conversion process take? What were your experiences of it?

Do you feel accepted in your new community as a convert?

Did you face challenges in your conversion process?

Are you LGBTQ+ identified? How does that influence and fit into your new religious identity?

Does your community make any distinctions between converts and people born and raised in the faith? Are they supposed to?

Does your chosen religion encourage conversion? Discourage it? Have any concept of evangelism?

What are things you love about your chosen religion and/or religious community?

Are there things that made you hesitate about converting and/or things you are critical of in your chosen religion/religious community? How did you overcome these hesitations to convert? Are you still critical of these same issues?

Do you feel like your conversion gives you a unique perspective on your chosen religion? Your religion of origin?

How do you relate to your religion of origin and/or any other former faiths?

How do you feel about interfaith work from your perspective as a convert? Do you ever feel pushed into being a "bridge" between your religious community of choice and of origin? How do you feel about that role?

Does your family know, and if so, how did they react to your decision to convert? Do they still identify as the same religion/faith tradition they raised you in?

What have you had to give up in order to become part of your religion of choice?

What have you had to take up in order to become part of your religion of choice?

What was the hardest part of converting?

What was the most joyful part of converting?

What would you tell seekers who are interested in your chosen religion? What do you wish you'd known at the beginning? Is there anything you'd tell seekers to your religion of origin?

Feel free to answer any combination of these or all of them! Tag people if you want, but also don't feel like you have to be tagged in to answer. I genuinely am interested in hearing other people's experiences, especially people who have/are converting to different religions besides Judaism and/or from gerim/students from backgrounds other than Christianity.

Vegetarianism, Veganism, and the Path of the Masters - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Traditionally, Sant Mat and the yoga philosophy have advocated the lacto-vegetarian diet: abstinence from meat, fish, fowl, and eggs, but allowed dairy. Vegan means complete abstinence from all animal products and strictly adhering to a plant-based diet: no dairy, eggs, or meat of any kind, or products made from animals. Based on the current cruel practices of the dairy industry in India and around the world that violate the principle of ahimsa or non-violence, plus all the scores of medical studies showing that dairy consumption adversely affects our health and well-being, I believe if they were here today, the classic Saints such as Mahavira, Guru Kabir, Guru Nanak, Tukarama, Ravidas, Tulsi Das, Namdev, Dariya Sahib, etc...  would not only be advocating a vegetarian diet, but a vegan diet. These days, many are making this transition to vegan, including a growing percentage of those following Sant Mat. This is the compassionate direction that the vegetarian movement is headed in. Vegetarianism is going vegan!

In the East as well as in the West, the Gnostics and other advanced mystics: those serious practitioners of soul travel, inner Light and Sound meditation, have universally adhered to a plant-based diet. It’s hard to reach more subtle states of tranquility in meditation on an animal flesh diet based on the suffering of other beings. "A man of spiritual intensity does not eat corpses." (George Bernard Shaw)

Today a satsang edition of Spiritual Awakening Radio about the spiritual and ethical reasons for going veg, or better still: vegan. There are readings from Pythagoras, Kabir, Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj, Darshan Singh, Kirpal Singh, Sawan Singh, Diet and Spirituality, by Dona Kelley (from Lotus Leaves), and... a document called, "My Visit to a Dairy Farm -- The Reality of Dairy Cruelty -- the Final Destination of Dairy Cows is the Slaughterhouse", published by Pravin K. Shah of the Jaina Education Committee of Jainism (the Vegan Jain movement.)

atheism is cool but i’m still annoyed by the time my friend admitted to me that they do see themself as better and smarter than religious/spiritual people because believing in higher powers means you’re irrational and not very smart. which was probably the first time i had a strongly atheist person to admit that to me but not the first time i met an atheist who i was pretty certain felt that way. and this person was very leftist, yet they felt all religions should just end. you don’t have to believe in anything, you can have reasons for it of course, but there’s no need to disrespect people or want to make them to stop being religious. i think that’s something that comes from a lot of white people with christian backgrounds in majority christian societies, where they know christianity is often used for oppression (it is) and so they think that every religion is the same and always inherently bad (they’re not).

other religions exist, religious minorities are already disrespected and persecuted enough without your input as someone who apparently wants equality. you talk about acceptance but you see some people as lesser. if you side with conservatives on ‘other religions bad’ but also think christianity is bad, you’re still upholding the ‘other religions bad’ concept that conservatives believe. and if you go about life thinking other people are stupid for their beliefs and you’re better than them, then you’re probably just a shitty person.
