Just wondering…why is it that we can advertise Christianity all over America…on billboards…in magazines and so on and so forth…but if a billboard was placed on the side of a highway promoting Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, or anything other than Christianity, all hell would break loose? I thought this country had freedom of religion…yet so many religions seem oppressed to me. BTW I’m not trying to knock Christianity…I respect it entirely. I just wish other religions were recognized more often.
Whoa really? (to the imagine no religion board?) that is pretty different…Well I live in NC so that possibly has something to do with it ya…you guys are right. I’ve only seen NC for the most part. We only have Christian advertisements around this area so I guess I was quick to think it is the same throughout the country. Thanks guys

Lien asked:


The only one I know is Vicariism which states that God speaks through all of His creation not exclusively the Bible, Koran, Torah, etc… Creation is a form of expression so there’s a message from God behind all that exists, behind our emotions. The more we learn and teach, the closer we are to God. Everything holds the spark of divinity, but we must use new personal and vicarious experiences, not biblical dogma or repetitive practice, to realize inner peace. The symbol (underline symbol) of Vicariism is the Egyptian god, Abraxas, who has many forms all which stimulate our creative thought. It represents God’s changing form and our inability to share a single vision of God. The religion was started by Christian Buddhists and like Buddhism, it is not mutually-exclusive.
