Wat is ur religion?

[MetalMickey]

this might be an inappropriate question, but if u truly believe in ur religion then u won't be modest about which religion you follow. And this does mean individual sects.

i would like to express that this thread is not for the negative comments about certain faiths.

Have a nice day and may the Catholic God bless you,
From Mickey

[mynameiskc]

i'm a christian. i have yet to find a particular church that suits my beliefs, though i've frequented catholic, anglican and seventh day adventist. i liked the practicality of the daily practice within the seventh day group, but some of their ideas made me kinda cringe.

I'm an independent thinker.

Someone once said in these forums that the one true religion is the religion of discontent. That's my religion.

[John221]

I wouldn't say I really have a religion. I definately have a strong sense of spirituality, but there's no particular deity that I would believe in and worship.

I have unshakable faith in human ability, and I find my own personal answers by following my sense of reason and by meditation and looking deep within myself.

I also believe in higher realities than our own, which may be revealed to us when we die or when we acheive a sufficiently advanced state of consciousness.

I believe in the possibility of certain so-called supernatural abilities, and I find something incredibly numinous about the simple and intrinsic beauty of nature.

Well there you go, I hope that made some amount of sense :D if anyone can come up with a name for my beliefs, it would be most appreciated.

I am a follower of Megism (i made it up). Its a cool religion though

Born and raised Pagan. My Father has also studied Vodun. So that was around as well.

I don't have a religion. I believe in reincarnation of our souls and I believe in the possibility of something supernatural, but I don't have a god/goddess or anything like that.

[chickabean]

i am a charismatic christian...by charismatic im not referring to my personalilty :p but to the fact that i am a bible believing, born agian christian that believes and moves in the the gifts of the holy spirit...tongues, interpretations, prophecy...

[DaisaeFaerie]

Presently wavering. Trying to discover whether i can be a born-again christian, whether i have that faith within me...i really want to, in a way, cos everyone i know who has that faith seems so at peace and secure. But not long ago i was very much a spiritualist, an agnostic as well, and didn't get the whole christian scene much at all. it didn't make sense - and still doesn't, but i can see how beautiful it is now - so i'd say i'm someone who believes in love and truth and beauty and freedom (bohemian!) but can't accept everything in the bible or God's existence quite yet.

I try and put faith in the inescapable beauty of the human soul - our ability to love.

[matthew]

I would like to label myself a pagan or a satanist... I find both very intresting. It is still 'believing' ( i don't realy like that) in something . That just gives people pre concieved ideas about me..Any one that 'meets' me either likes me for who i and what am or does not..simple. I like/dislike people on the same principle ..whatever the erm hell they believe in..

your born you live you die...get over it :) :p Ok i know its not that simple .

[TrippinBTM]

Religion is poison. Not in the sense that I hate religion, but in that having strict beliefs in things unknown is foolish and poisons the mind. Like they said in "Dogma," beliefs are bad, ideas are good. Besides, I see every religion as having their own symbols for the same thing, and yet people fight or even kill over their symbology! How ridiculous.

I'm a freely spiritual person, generally atheistic but not a pure rationalist/materialist. Labels labels labels...blah, they are as bad as beliefs. Just another trap for the mind and spirit.

[Kharakov]

God, i can't resist the urge.....

[The World of Dan]

I have my own religion. Well, it's not a religion (I hate religion) but it's my own faith.

It was called 'The Church of Dan', then changed to 'The Temple of Dan'. Just recently I've started calling myself pagan (as a lot of my ideas are very earth based), but in truth what I believe is diffrent to a lot of people.

As I said, I'm very much into nature. I don't believe in god. I believe that if anything should be worshiped as god it's the earth for protecting us. When I say worthip the earth, I don't mean dance around like a ninny or do silly things like pray to it.. I mean do pratical things such as conservation. Everytime I put recycle something, I'm worshiping the earth.

A lot of my views are very much the same as the established scientific views. I believe in energy. We are all made of energy, and you can't create or destroy energy, only convert it's form. Energy is the worlds only constant.

I would go into more detail, but don't have the time.

[Hikaru Zero]

I am an agnostic. I believe that with our current level of consciousness (that is, my level of consciousness and the collective consciousness state of the human race), it is quite impossible to actually *KNOW* that a God or gods exist (in the essence that seems to be the popular stereotype).

I do believe that there is a higher power out there. I do not necessarily believe in a particular higher power (God, Allah, Satan, whichever) because the details of every one of these gods varies from individual to individual.

I do believe that this higher power is conscious, and I do believe that this higher power may very well exist outside of all logic and reason and that we may never come to understand this being's existance no matter what plane of consciousness we think upon.

I have studied religions, and though I can see their value, I can't see any value in being totally into any one of them, like a fundamentalist or something. They all say the same thing in a different way, for the most part, until you get hung up on symbolism. When someone start talking about their religion as being the One and Only True religion is when I stop listening, because it just means they've closed themselves off from true spirituality and from new ideas.

As far as beliefs being bad, I meant that it's bad to be so staunchly believing one way that you could kill or die for that belief. I don't think killing or dying for an unknown makes much sense.

you have a point on the labels. I just find them annoying because people like to pigeon-hole you when they hear your label. Plus, it's easy to get trapped in them, to the point where it might inhibit personal growth. But you're right, it doesn't have to.

It is necessary for you to label in order for people to 'pidgeon-hole' you. When someone 'pidgeon-hole's you, you learn to label (communicate your ideas) in a more careful manner and drop (or restructure) labels that have obvious faults. When you have a valid reason to use a label, it is better for you and those you talk with if you can explain the use of the label with valid and pertinent arguments.

A good 'pidgeon-holing' will get you out of the 'trap' of incorrect understanding of labels. A good 'pidgeon-holing' can be essential to personal growth.

'Pidgeon-holing', while painful the first bunch of times, can become a truly enjoyable experience, especially with someone who is good at it.

I think I could only kill in self defense or perhaps to save someone else from a grave injustice (rape, murder, etc). Never for an idea though. But then, I've never been remotely tested in that area, so I can't really say for sure. And I'd never be a martyr for an idea or a religion. Obviously even I have some ideas that I hold strongly, like, I love my human rights and freedoms. But I don't know if I'd be willing to kill for them...right now I'd say it's unlikely. Even stripped of my rights, I suppose they cant control my thoughts or spirit, and I figure death will find me soon enough without me going looking for it.

Yeah, but it's annoying. Like, if I call myself an atheist, which I am, people assume I'm not spiritual, hate Christians (another loaded label, as many of you know), some may see me as evil and immoral, or may think that I think I have all the answers to all The Big Questions. There's all kinds of baggage that goes along with that word. But do I want to get into some big discussion about the specifics of my beliefs every time I'm asked and answer "atheist"? I guess I shouldn't worry about what others think, their judgement is their problem, but still...I, like most people, like to be understood.

[DaisaeFaerie]

And repeating someone's belief that beliefs are bad is not ridiculous.
In the end don't all the faiths and beliefs and religions in the world boil down to one essential argument - their plausibility? Everything spiritual, religious, and philosophical is always based on theory, ergo by definition it's improvable.
The world is never going to agree on one single belief, or even one general belief...I believe that you need to find your own way and let others do the same. Who are we to condemn what we know nothing of?

If you were convinced, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the outcome of you doing the action would benefit the world, would you do it?

Yeah, but it's annoying. Like, if I call myself an atheist, which I am, ok.... People will only understand you if you take the time to explain your beliefs. Big discussion time? :P

Except maybe through direct personal experience. The catch is, at least for a lot of these religions, you have to believe first.

[TrippinBTM]

If you were convinced, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the outcome of you doing the action would benefit the world, would you do it?

ok.... People will only understand you if you take the time to explain your beliefs. Big discussion time? :P
To your first point, I don't know. It's unlikely I COULD ever know that what I'm doing will benefit anyone in the long run...the world is random like that, things change, unintended effects, etc. If that's reasonable doubt, fine. Then...well, I might do it. There is that selfish will-to-live thing which is probably hard to overcome. I'll let you know if I'm ever faced with it. But, then, you'll only know if I fail, and choose my life over whatever else. Oh well.

To your second...not now, I'm tired :p

My own unique brand of belief, not a specific religion. Having studied so many belief systems it's impossible to believe only one can be the ultimate truth.

I was baptised Christian at four months old, ironic really as it is incompatable with my beliefs. Well Jesus was cool, but the rest I can do with out.

Buddhism is cool, I like the ethics. It seems a little too ridgid and pesimistic for me though.

Paganism is my current calling, I love the connection with nature, freedom and general joy of life.

I'm also agnostic

actually religion unlike philosophy is based on more than a single belief. in fact, religion is based around seven key areas, practical and ritual pratises, experimental and emotional experiences, narrative and mythical stories, doctrinal and philosophical guide lines, ethical or legal beliefs, social institutions, and material existance.

true we cannot agrue with a belief, but it is the other areas of the religions practises that we can disagree with and even sometimes dislike. but i would like the thread to be used for its original purpose and that is i would like all of us to be able to explain our beliefs before we codemn the notion of that religion being plausible.

who cares if it makes sense or not? i'm a very confusing/confused person.

christianity is close-mindedness and taoism help ppl open their mind.

The rest i don't really care, its just culture.

[Love Fest1969]

I'm a Christian.

[malachi]

christianity is close-mindedness and taoism help ppl open their mind.Personally I put more faith in the message than the theology of both 'religions'. Much of what Jesus is recorded to have said and done seems like the actions and words of someone who is enlightened. I think that only through some sort of enlightenment could someone completely human come to terms with being the completely divine Son of God.

I read somewhere once about a Buddhist student who discovered Christianity and later read the Book of John to his teacher, who then told him that what he just read was the essence of everything he had been trying to teach him.

It the message that counts I think, or maybe I'm just irrational. :P

[Antimatter235]

haha nice, i was thinking that you were a christian "trying" to follow some eastern stuff.

[malachi]

Nice to know I now have your approval Antimatter235. I can now sleep at night. :P

ppl NEED my approval to be 100% right... Or else, where the world is going?
so yeah, you can be sure your beliefs are acceptable now :D

I have been brought up in a conversative Christian household, but christianity is not my thing. In the church I'm never allowed to think for myself, and I can't believe in things I don't understand (yes that's a bit of a contradiction, I am aware of that). I read alot about different religions and there's something good in all the major religions. What suits me best is the Bahá'í faith, because they accept different faith as the Truth and they don't make a problem of the combination religion/science.

I'm begining to believe that all the stupid things that churches do and say are done to motivate people to think for themselves instead of using a moral crutch.

Extremely intelligent people can go through life working to support the ideas that are handed to them, and unless something shocks them out of their mindset, they will continue to support these ideas (take stereotype catholics, pharisees, etc.). If you build your mind upon quicksand, it will not be stable, if you build it upon bedrock, it will.

[drbeaker]

I like to call myself a Zen Jewddist but there are elemtents of paganism (the reverence for nature part, not the belief in many, or for that mater ANY anthropomorphic "gods"), Taoism, and even a bit of Christianity in my belief system (I believe Jesus was an extremely enlightened human being and great teacher, certainly on par with hebrew prophets such as Moses, and perhaps what in Bhuddist tradition is called a "buddha" or "Bodhisatva", but a human being nonetheless) I do not attend any formal synagogue or temple except for special events like wedding and bar mitzvahs, instead choosing to pray/meditate in natural settings or simply in my room, to study sacred texts and interpret them for myself. I also consider many activities such as hiking, musical improvization/drumming/dancing, etc. to be forms of meditation and/or religious ecstacy and have been known to inbibe sacraments (alcohol, cannabis, sacred mushrooms, etc.) that the orthodox members of most of the aformentioned religious would not approve of...different strokes for different folks I say.

While I believe spirituality is something universal i believe every person must find their own unique path, even if that path is considering onself "atheist" "agnostic" or "not spiritual" and attemping to understand our world through scientific study or a non-religious philosophy.I find that church/synagogue/mosque etc. services will often dumb down religious thought to serve the lowest common denominator and create a feeling of "unity" making religion more of a social club and less of a means to self-exploration and a personal quest for truth and knowledge. Just my own personal opinion, not on attack on any faith or organization.

I am "other". Well atleast that's what I always have to put when checking off which religion. I have crafted my own system of beliefs since I was a kid because no one in my family is religious. This kind of set up the perfect situation to figure out what I believe in without any kind of outside forces. Many of my beliefs look similar to various religions. Though presently I was tipped off about Discordianism. A lot of my beliefs turned out to be similar to it. I personally like the pharses "Finding salvation through non-sense." and "It is my firm belief it is a mistake to hold firm beliefs."
