What religion are you...and why? - 08-21-06

I was baptized or christened or whatever a Catholic...but I know jack-shit about Catholicism. I certainly don't believe in God, or Christ really for that matter, but I don't deny these beings exist/existed. Some say that makes me agnostic, but I don't adhere to the idea that there's a being such as the Christian diety known as God. Most know that I follow the philosophical notions of a necessary being. There may have been a being which was the first, the beginning, but probability is this being isn't in anyway sentient. How could it be?

Anywho...God, no! Necessary being, maybe. If that makes me agnostic, then so be it.


I was masturbating
just contemplating
the color of suicide

Anybody can have a religion and believe in it...and why? --> because it finds itself in it...it believes in, lives and feels it...

As for me, i am a hindu...but i also studied and continue to study all religions...and i am proud to affirm that i agree with and respect them all !

None. I don't like being a member of a religion. I was baptised or whatever Christian, and I hold firm in some of the beliefs of kindness (Do unto others what others would do unto you, Be king, Peace, that stuff), and I believe that the Christian God, Jesus, Moses, ect very well probably exsisted, but I don't live my life according to the Bible. Things change, the Bible doesn't.
I'm not even spiritual - which is what I thought I was for a few years. I'm a Philsopher at heart - so no religion will most likly appeal to me.

If I belong to any religion it would be the Religion of M Theory, as I couldn't imagine living life as we do without this as the truth to all things.

i've accepted that yes, there is probably a Gd in which case, i should consider some of what he's warned other people of doing. But finding anything, recent that makes sense is hard to find, that includes the religion that's become witchcraft(wiccan or not).


i don't think having faith in a Gd should be complicated, if he's Gd the Father, he'll let you know when you're really messing up, if you're too caught up in things, to realize it yourself, isn't that what any good parent should do?

dogma is trickier. *sighs*

I'm a Christian...I was brought up that way, and most of my family are...I'm not gonna say I'm a devout Christian, because I am not...I do believe there is a God, and I don't play around with the religion at all...I don't go to church every Sunday, and I'm in no way perfect in a Christian-sense...

I do look into other religions and look at their viewpoints and try to understand what they believe and why. I'm very open to everyone's beliefs, providing that they aren't pushed upon me [I wouldn't dare force you to be Christian]. So...yeah. =P

I'm catholic because I was born catholic. i went to catholic school until college. I don't really know if I believe any of it. I also loved my catholic school and thought it was a great experience. I'm dead serious. However, if the pope reverses the catholic church's stance on evolution, that will be the last straw and I'll formally leave the church.

well, i'm currently not anything but i've actually been looking into chaos magic lately. yes i know, it sounds like some sort of lame larper thing but reading further into it, a lot of it already follows my basic beliefs about manipulating my circumstances to acheive a desired effect.

so far it's the only thing i've found that even comes close because it's something that you adapt to fit your beliefs, rather than vice versa.

Very simple: If you can't prove it, I don't believe it.

my religion... - 09-08-06

well i don't really profess to belong to any religion, i was brought up a protestant and have drifted from faith. i don't really believe anything, i just do what feels good, which i guess would make me something of a cynicist, which isn't really a religion as much as a philosophy, but i guess as far as religion goes i'd have to say i believe in the unlimited power of mankind to think and create. i'm not sure which religion that would be but i'm guessing satanism, although i know about 75% of satanists just want to make a statement... but i have nothing to prove to anyone so i like to distance myself from dogma.

How do do you get such a specific label from such general preferences? I appreciate that satanism is generally a bit less defined a maybe more tolerant than the more established religions, but it doesn't follow that being a thoughtful creative person makes you a satanist.

no, you're right, of course - 09-08-06

good point, but what i meant when i said unlimited power was that the individual is the absolute master of himself. sorry if i didn't explain myself very well, it's the one recurring thing in most of what i say...

Not at all. Quite the oppisite, in fact, I am on an endless quest for proof of anything. Nihilists are destructive, both to themselves and others, with a refusal to believe anything that borders on delusion. If you can prove something to me, I'll stop questioning it that moment, even endeavor to prove it to others (should the circumstance arise). I just so rarely ever get any proof.
