The African Traditional Religion is a religion practiced on the African continent. It is the indigenous religion of Africans with its own distinct features and character of the people who practice it just as Islam has the character of the Arabs, Judaism of the Jews, and Hindus of the Indians.

Sunday afternoon, I visited the local Zorastarian Cultural Center. Zoroaster (the Greek name) or Zarathustra (the Avestan or Persian name) was an ancient Iranian prophet and religious poet. More than that though he was the fore- runner to much that you'll find in the Judaeo-Christian religion and Zoroasterianism was the first monotheistic religion. All of this coming anywhere from 1200-550 BCE. Some will date portions of the religion to 6,000 BCE. I also visited a Jainism temple, but...

Few years ago when I got divorced the world around me seemed dark and unfriendly. I felt like there is nothing to look forward to. I always felt like crying, and sometimes the tears were hard to stop.

In the early days, the role of the sponsor was to attest to the integrity of the person, oftentimes an adult, seeking admission into the Church as well as to assist him during the catechumenate in preparing for these sacraments and in living a Christian life. For infants, these sponsors would also make the Profession of Faith in the child's name and...

Islam 101
Was Islam Spread by the Sword?

The idea of Islam being spread by the sword is one of the most common misconceptions among both the Muslims and non-Muslims. Many non-Muslims have written untold volumes of anti-Islamic literature propagating the fallacy of Muslims holding swords above the heads of Christians and forcing them to convert to Islam. This is total nonsense. On the other hand we have some Muslim apologists who, in their great fervor to defend Islam and...

Hanukkah (also spelt Chanukah) is a huge annual Jewish religious event that celebrates the reclamation and rededication of the Holy Jewish Temple in Jerusalem after it was forcefully taken back from the Greco-Syrian monarch, Antiochus Epiphanes, by a small group of Jewish freedom fighters called the Maccabees, and the miracle of the oil that happened at that time.
