Find Support From The Web With Theology Forums

By Claudette Lambert


We always have questions in our mind about the correct way to practice religion, about the origin of traditions and rituals and exactly what is said in the many Holy books that we have. Given that with our hectic schedules we do not have time to spend studying them and reading about it, our mind still questions the validity of many things that we see around us. To help us with this, we now have theology forums.

This is a group of people who come together online to discuss theology. They create a website and invite people to become members. Then any member can post a topic and start a discussion about something that they feel strongly for. But, of course, the topics have to be based on religion and philosophy. You cannot talk about the latest chick flick here nor can you use indecent language.

Every religion has its group of researchers and so such groups too can be found for different religions. It is means by which like minded people can connect with each other, without any barriers or borders or nationalities and be able to talk to each other. The main purpose of these discussion sites is to encourage its members to understand the concepts and philosophies rather than blindly following traditions and rituals.

Anybody can become a member of such forums. There is no prohibition or restriction. You only need to be a seeker of knowledge to be allowed to participate. But extra measures are taken to ensure that the discussion does not become too heated or agitated, or that it does not lead to misinterpretation of facts or philosophies.

Such forums also sometimes act as support groups for members who are going through a rough phase. We all turn to God in times of distress and try o seek solace in our Holy books. At such times, when we do not know what the correct path is, it comes as a relief when someone offers a hand of guidance and tries to sympathize with us.

Most of the times, the discussion on these websites are about a part of a Holy Book like maybe a story or a parable. They start out by talking about it and then discuss its significance. They then go on to talk to each other about the moral of the story and what we are supposed to learn from this. In this manner it becomes easier for people to understand what it is the correct way of life.

But with such a support group as a backing, we can go back to discovering the comfort and peace that we find within. Not to mention that it is an excellent place to gather research material if you are a theology student.

We see people of all ages and nationalities becoming a part of such a group. It helps bring us together and unite us. It also helps in opening our eyes and letting the negative thoughts go. Theology forums do much more than just teach religion, they teach us a way of life.
