1. I believe in a 'prime mover', a being, entity, or group of either that has set forces in motion using natural law. 2. I do not believe this being or entity requires my worship, a being that egotistical would make itself known to all. 3. I do not know what comes after physical death. And this does not worry me at the least. 4. I believe that being human requires morality. Human beings have proven that morality does not equal religious beliefs. 5. I believe that religion, religious persecution, and religious discrimination have all proven to be detrimental to human kind and have contributed greatly to human suffering.
True religion is not a group effort. It's an individual journey. You have realized much, young grasshopper. x
i'm egotistical as fuck, but i can't make myself known because it feels like it cheapens whatever respect i actually am given. who know, maybe god takes after me...
i believe in the POSSIBLE existence of everything that has ever been immagined, and about a gazzillion times that many OTHER POSSIBILITIES that have yet to be. i also believe in the total nonREQUIREMENT for ANY of them, to do so. i do believe your number one to be reasonably likely, but also quite reasonably likely to be of such unimaginable form that the question of being singular or multiple becomes meaningless. let's see, your number two, i agree with completely too, although i wouldn't arm wrestle it over the seating arraingments if it actually wanted to. so far, it is only humans who have ever tried to tell me that it does. three is somthing my father always insisted on for himself, but in living i've grown emotionally attatced to the idea of experiencing. i do feel that i've lived other physical lives on other physical worlds before my current physical form was caused to be born on this one. though i cannot swear to any degree of confidence as to what might come after this one. morality is a bottom line of logic and survival, that yes, too many people confuse with belief. that has nothing to do with details of physical gratifcation and everything to do with the avoidance of causing suffering. not only altruisticly, but personally and individually as well. not at the whim of some other being, but the natural way in which things work. my feeling on the last is that we'd be no worse off had presthoods, organized beliefs, nor the idea that anything needs to be infallable, never been imagined nor invented. i'm not so sure it's all bad though, just not as good as is popularly imagined. i do think that encouraging people to want to avoid causing suffering is more good then harmful. but i do agree that encouraging people to deceive themselves as to how we together do so, is a form of harm we would be at least as well off without. yes, i believe we have a great deal of similarity in our beliefs. or i, with those qshdgns has stated. (qshdgns? quish dragons?) =^^= .../\...
