Can we have a forum for Non-Abrahamic faiths such as Confucianism / Taoism / Buddhism / Hinduism /Jainism / Zoroastrianism, etc. And could you please include faiths such as Sikhism, Baha'i etc under the Abrahamic title as well.
Thanks

We do have a forum for eastern religions including Taoism/Buddhism, and one for Hinduism, we also have one for Sikhism as well. And we've had the forums for it since the start.:)

Thank you for the greeting Raven. I think I'll make myself at home here.

I was not aware that it was an Abrahamic religion. So, it's included in another forum.

You're right it is not. Which Forum may I ask?

I see you found Zoroastrianism. Also you note that it is interesting that it is placed where it is. I find that the case for a couple of the various religions listed. But when reading their entire foundings and/or beliefs, I can see it is difficult to label them perfectly. So I don't know if they could ever be placed perfectly without someone disagreeing for some valid reason. So I guess I'll just work with it as it is. Frankly, even though Islam can be traced to Abrahamic, it probably shouldn't be grouped together with Christianity and Judaism due to its radical differences. But again, it hard to have equal ground on many things in order to put them in groups. The only other option is to put them all in their individual forum and that would be messy.
God bless,
JADE
