I was just wondering how many of you are religous? What do you believe? How do you live your lives in a religous and or spirtual sense?
i would like to add a question: are your dreads in any way linked to your spirituality or spiritual heritage?
Not religious in the slightest. I was brought up as a Christian and went to a christian school but it doesn't really fit in. My husband was a Jehovah's witness and his mum is a STAUNCH witness. My dreads are purely aesthetic they don't make me feel spiritually connected to anything but they have taught me a valuable lesson in patience. I'm quite proud of how they've turned out.
athiest, but have taoist sort of tendancies. parents never raised me under a religion which I am really happy about. I don't really link my hair to spirituality or religion. It was just a change that needed to happen with my hair and I really love how they feel and look
i was brought up in a not overly religious but definitely christian influenced culture, had religious ed classes at school which taught a sort of generic protestant christianity, mum always told me i didn't have to attend those classes if i didn't want to. interested in many different religions but don't particularly identify with any. have/ had some spiritual beliefs which were tested last year and i'm not sure they really stood the test. i am very interested in the cultural and religious significance of locks.. love the story of samson.
i am totally unreligious. but i am very spiritual. the first time i was ever in county i almost got in a fight in booking because they wanted to classify me as athiest or whatever that word is that means you dont believe in god (drawing a blank) but are not an athiest. i threw an all out fit because its not that i dont believe in A god, but my spirituality prevents me from believing in a packaged god. and i totally disagree with the idea of organized religion. one of my favorite classes in school was world studies and specifically the religions of the world. i took a lot of things from a lot of religions and added my own sense of being, mortality, and morality to it. I actually made them pencil in an option that said not applicable for me. this is because i truely feel that "religion" by definition is not applicable, but i have a huge sense of spirituality, if that makes sense to anybody. anyway, as far as my dreads go, i somewhat can relate them to one of the aspects of the nazerite vow. basically i fucking love myself, and i think i'm the shit, and i know i'm fucking sexy as hell. so the no pick and no razor to subdue my vanity i guess might have something to do with it. although i truely believe i'm even sexier with my dreads. LOL but i do feel as though i relate to that aspect of the vow through my hair.

I'm not religious. I go through a few months of exploring something and then go back to being happily agnostic. I respect all religions but do not practice any. I'm right where you and I left off. lol
I dont really see what is wrong with loving and being comfortable with yourself.. better than hating how you look.
not religious in anyway.. neither is the rest of my family. I don't know what I'd consider my self. I don't believe in life before I was born. I do believe in Karma. I do believe I am part of the truman show. I don't believe any of you actually exist. I do believe in meditation through surfing. I do believe in ghosts. I do believe in aliens. I do believe kids are the worst things ever. I do believe nothing outside of the room I am in currently exists... but all materializes when I open the curtains.
