If you do not light a lamp while doing a prayer and reciting any mantras. But it is necessary to burn an incense stick. This is practised by Buddhist too. Why do we need to do so?

ohhh

@Mr.Alien I think we should allow some sort of question which needs some sort of scientific resons

no, I don't think so, this site will end up in a disaster

@TheDictator I proposed a new site for that

think of an example I contributed on the question

will you explain big bang theory on a religion website?

eww.. I got two downvotes

1:29 PM

hatred and public now entering the game

area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/72647/…

I have seen the answer and even I was the first who upvoted that..

I dont see any downvotes

on the example question

@TheDictator yea, so it makes no sense discussing science on a religious website, I can literally bang every question by asking scientific reasons

whats the funny part, scientifically, its not possible to have 10 heads, 10 arms, etc like our gods have

1:31 PM

I am back....want did i missed?

I am talking abt the rituals that we are following

@Mr.Alien did you see my proposed site?

@Mr_Green yes and I told you that the idea is somewhat broken :) I've a bit of experience here now so I suggested you on first place that things will be redundant

1:33 PM

hehe ok let it be.. just add any questions if you have in mind as example

Ok let it be... I was just suggesting..

this goes also to @TheDictator @AnkitSharma

Hehehehe...

@Mr_Green sure I would :D if I get the concept perfectly

@TheDictator always do that :) you have freedom to do so and will be helpful

I didn't do it because in a way it is different but the answers same

^^why?

yeah that is why I kept question mark..

but the answers are same

ok...willl think on it later

Did we had this before? = hinduism.stackexchange.com/q/655/124

@Mr.Alien you should only answer that..

1:38 PM

@Mr_Green nah, he is a tough guy, he needs scientific reasons, I don't answer scientifically, I answer the way I was taught by our grandfather and grand mothers

that guy is asking all similar questions

I would like more scientific reason for the same. All that is said here is mainly about beliefs. But in the modern world people would like to know how these are connected scientifically. Talking to God -- by lighting a ghee deepak does not really convince ones who do not believe in these system. Looking for scientific reasons. — pritywiz 2 hours ago

our?

read the last line

yup all are similar

I will never get convinced in a way that brahma created the whole universe

^ any reason?

1:41 PM

for?

Hahaha

@Shriroop ping

for not being convinced that Brahma created the Unverse..

@Mr_Green you didn't get my point :) I said if he wants scientific reasons than no one will be convinced that brahma created universe, people will start writing scientific answers

ohh I see

Answer a scientific reason for this question "Why do we hang chillies and lemon outside our house" — Mr. Alien 7 secs ago

actually, I am somewhat satisfied with the post of pritiwiz guy..

for example, once you had answered a question related to milking snakes.

I am not.. I feel things will really go weird once we start discussing science but feel free to upvote his answer really if you feel that he is right

the scientific reason was necessary for that post

@Mr_Green ya but there was no science behind the answer

I shared the story, I shared the truth, science is nowhere :)

i think this question can work but with restrictions and close eye

2:03 PM

yeah

And as per my observation on Movies and TV regarding idenfication question......don't allow anything which can bring trouble

once we start allowing scientific reason, we will have opinion based answers and war between reality and mythology

@Mr.Alien true..

what was that?
