...the creed of Oneness: is it a religion, way of life, or just informative tool, to everlasting peace and tranquility?
A very good question.
The ONEness Creed is many things to many persons. Basically it can be all of the above–plus much more depending upon the whims of a person's inherent wisdom.
An important goal of ONEness Creed is to bring religious differences (including the agnostics and atheists/humanists) to a 21st Century understanding such as there is a Oneness of a basic understanding of: where we have come from, where we are going . . . and how we should behave in-between.
The effect of the ONEness Creed upon any person depends upon how deeply the Creed is understood and upon the person's educational and/or worldly background.
The ONEness Creed is for everyone; though, particularly for those seeking tolerance, wisdom of their fundamental environment . . . and, a philogical understanding of god and Heaven, which will satisfy not only the layperson; but, the most eminent persons of Science, Theology, and Philosophy (STP).
My answer is short, semantics are difficult. I'm certain you'll probably have more questions now then when you started.
Please continue to ask (drill down with specific questions) about what may seem confusing.
I just have many questions about the creed of Oneness: is it a religion...
Yes, ONEness Creed could be considered by some persons as a religion; but, as yet, we haven't defined, herein, what is meant by "Creed" or the concept "religion." There are almost as many concepts of "religion" as there are people. The term "Creed" is a bit more narrowly defined. And, even the concepts of "One" and "Oneness, are subjects of much confusion among many mathematicians, scientists, and logicians.
Agreeing upon Semantics is very important in any discussion; and, especially so, when discussing subjects such as religion and creeds which are concepts that are historically loaded for many persons with powerful propaganda and brainwashing techniques.
When "ONEness Creed" is so stylized the following definitions are implied:
"Religion" is a personal belief where authority is from the "top-down" and that belief is dependent upon maximizing faith.
"Creed" is a personal system of opinion, that can be spiritual, that guides a persons' habits and conduct, which is logically based and attempts to minimize faith.
"One," semantically, is a very complex and confusing word, when it is used every effort will be made to clarify its use by its immediate context. When capitalized as in ONEness Creed, its general Philogical meaning is a uniting of Science, Theology, and Philosophy, such that the wisdom of all persons will maximize individualism, tolerance and the Golden Rule between one another.
The thinker still has many unanswered questions, and a few challenges that would like to be debated:
ONEness is:
A secular, ecumenical, Creed of tolerance, individualism, sustainability, the Golden Rule,
and 21st Century wisdom for all Persons.
This is a theory: a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct...!
Now you have no other choice to keep dialogues open for debates and discussions; meaning your audiences, must be able to use their own references, and that could be based on anything, no one should be a subject of ridicule, criticism, and reprimanded for simply being who they are.
A secular, ecumenical, Creed of tolerance, individualism, sustainability, the Golden Rule, and 21st Century wisdom for all Persons.
A practical amalgum of Reality, wisdom, observation, and the spiritual.
An anthropic extension of the First Postulate of Reality, which is consistent with all aspects of Science, Theology, and Philosophy in accordance with Natural Laws, Philogic, and IPSO.
An evolving Creed in search of Truth.
These indeed are not 21 first century wisdom according to the scripture: these are One message to the worlds was reveled first to the father of the prophets Ibraheem. Oneness of *Allah* the creator Notice:
Now you have no other choice to keep dialogues open for debates and discussions; meaning your audiences, must be able to use their own references, and that could be based on anything, no one should be a subject of ridicule, criticism, and reprimanded for simply being who they are.
I agree. Ad hominem discussion and/or argument is an exceptionally weak and deceptive argument, which should be pointed out when used on the Dialogue21 forum.
Dialogue on this forum, as you state, can "be based on anything."
However, the reader, and active participants, should judge the merit of logic and the source that said logic is based upon.
A search for "Truth" can be difficult; however, it begins with the ability to recognize the techniques of propaganda and brainwashing which are used to obfuscate said "Truth."
I just have many questions about the creed of Oneness: is it a religion, way of life, or just informative tool, to everlasting peace and tranquility?
Would someone answer please…!

ONEness is NOT a religion. ONEness Creed is the antithesis of religion. Religion is dependent upon faith. ONEness Creed is dependent upon the minimizing of faith and the maximizing of 21st Century wisdom as defined by Philogic. Philogic is the amalgam of the academic disciplines of Science, Theology, and Philosophy.
Oneness as used in the above mentioned website "www.ONENESSCREED.US" is a completely misunderstood application (semantically inconsistent) concerning the concept of Oneness. As such, www. ONENESS CREED.US apparently confuses Oneness with the diametrically opposed religious concept of "One" as used in most all major religions.
The religiosity of ONENESSCREED.US is obvious from the home page with comments that oppose the universal unity of ONEness such as: "He is Allah, the One!" and "Guided by Godly principles...we believe, above all...that the rights of man come not from the bounty of the state but from the outstretched hand of God."
The same confusion can also be found at the companion website: www.OnenessCreedS.org.
Also, OnenessCreedS.org – because the plural is applied to the domain name – is a perfect example of a non sequitur.
Oneness is a concept that is closely related to IPSOism; whereas, One is a concept of Theism.
ONEness is:
A secular, ecumenical Creed
of tolerance, individualism,
sustainability, compassion, the Golden Rule,
and 21st Century wisdom
for all persons.
ONEness is:
A practical amalgam of Reality,
wisdom, observation, and
. . . the spiritual.
ONEness is:
An anthropic extension of
the First Postulate of Reality,
which is consistent with all aspects
of Science, Theology, and Philosophy
in accordance with Natural Laws,
Philogic, and IPSO.
Thus, ONEness is:
A Universal, evolving Creed in search of Truth.
For those with a further interest in an in depth understanding of the ultimate universality of the ONEness concept and related websites including www.IPSOism.comsee: www.ONEnessCreed.com.
