What are your religous beliefs?

Atheist.

And, uh, recovering Catholic.

 

Born Again Christian, but I find value in all religions that don't worship Allah.

I also am interested in Witchcraft, Voodoo, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

All have something special to offer.

 

I am one with the trees. They are not hurting anyone or anything.

no religion here.

 

Sometimes I worship the sound of a stream in the middle of the woods; sometimes I worship crunchy cheetos(rarely cheetos nowadays though).

 

Same here...at times I still have nightmares about nuns.

 

I have extended family members who are ministers.

I'm non religious. I don't know if I'd call myself an atheist. I don't believe there is a god. But I have encountered supernatural experiences that science cannot explain. Sounds, flashes of light, apparitions, and even my hopes being answered through manifestation. Atheists seem to believe that all these life experiences could he answered by science or happened by chance.

 

Indeed, Ibrahims God sucks!

I haven't had the nun nightmares for years, but I still have vivid memories of the long walks from the classroom to the main office, to report my classroom offenses to the scariest looking nun in human history. I'm glad it was only Sunday school though - I went to the county school for my non-religious study.

 

A proud atheist, here.

 

OK - here's my completely anonymous view.

I think there's some mysterious force in the universe whose principle is unconditional love - unachievable but something to aim for. As we move toward unconditional love we somehow become more harmoniously in sync with the universe.

So, if I'm wrong - and there's every chance that I am - the only damage done to the world is millions of people trying to love a little more - a price, arguably, worth paying.

The Gods of the Bible are a bunch of wankers. First of all, no God would be angry or jealous - those are human emotions - nothing to do with any deity (but everything t do with a contrived father figure).

The Old Testament also posits that God has a dick - he's unashamedly male

There's also a lot of fire and smoke accompanying extra-terrestrials in the Old Testament (which is mainly a rehash of much older stories) and those are bioforms not deities (although some of them may think they are)

I don't proselytise this view even though I may whisper it the odd time during pillow talk and it's just a theory

I was sad to hear that Edith got eliminated from the spelling bee

 

Gotcha

all I can say, though, is that the afterlife is a-gonna be awful boring if there isn't one.

I would like there to be a religion that says: if you're dead - bring a book

 

The interesting thing is that when one is raised Christian (in that half-assed middle class way that makes no demands whatever), when they lapse their culture doesn't change one iota - they still believe that it's wrong to hit people over the head or take their stuff 9which is my precis of the 10 commandments).

The fundamentalists seem to think that when one lapses they instantly become a snarling jackal of evil


BWA hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I can't believe I wrote that - it's one of my greatest lines - "snarling jackals of evil" - next I'll be ruminating about the nattering nabobs of negativity

 

do you do windows?

 

I meant practicing.

I don't get your question though.

 

Atheist but I do think Jesus was a real person but a great philosopher.

 

Well I have gone though a lot since that post.

Now I would say yes I do believe in God.

What form God comes? Hard to believe it comes from the Bible, Quran, Egyptian book of dead, or any other text.

I think God is a form of cosmic energy.

When a individual decides to always make the right decision, even when nobody is looking. I believe they will find a path to God in some form.

 

I was brought up Catholic, left Christianity about five years ago, was an atheist/agnostic for a time, and then came back to believing in God. I'm not religious, but if I had to pick a label, I'd call myself ''spiritual.'' I respect most religions, so long as they don't hurt others. I enjoy learning about world religions and others beliefs. I think there's something positive to take away from most belief systems.

 

What are those things you speak of.

 

The principles that can be found in Buddhism, when it comes to nirvana, and zen. The principles that can be found in Judaism, Christianity and Islam that deal with trusting in God, finding peace, and treating others as you'd wish to be treated. Although, there are things within those religions that I don't agree with. I call myself spiritual, because I believe in God, but religion is something that I personally find to be humankind's creation, with its rules and legalism. When I was an atheist, I studied Sufism, which is a mystical part of Islam, and that's really beautiful.
