Think you just believe in a higher being rather than being religious [relating or believing in a religion] dergy, since you aren't following any specific religion but believe in 'a' god.

pual Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Not religious, then again atheist but-lutheran-in-official-documents-only is the default here and pretty much nobody goes to church unless it's church wedding or funeral.

I think all religions started at the same point, and because of that, "believe" in all of them, but follow none of them specifically. (Oh and yeah, I'll be next to Odin drinking mead! See you there!)

Godskrieg Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Religion is a somewhat complicated topic for me, which I try to avoid most of the time, mostly because I don't care about other peoples beliefs, I don't judge based on religion. Also, I absolutely despise most religions on this planet, so again, somewhat touchy subject. My family was also weird about it, my father was raised in a Catholic house but ended up being an atheist and marrying a somewhat religious Jewish woman (my mother). So while my house usually followed the rules of Judaism, such as my mother keeping kosher, my dad always had his own little fridge and stove in our garage for his own food. It was always made to be a choice for me, less from my mothers side, but my dad always told me I could grow up and choose whichever damn religion I wanted to believe in. When I turned 13 I started reading books by people like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. I consider myself a fully atheistic human being at this point, and proud of it. Fite me.

WELL..........level 90? really? perfectly understandable. believe me, i love a good discussion on something like this but we all know that some passerby might see this thread and think towards a post "What did that ass just say? I will mess him up for talking about my beliefs like that." not referring to you specifically but just saying it might be a possibility.

abrazilrep Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I was raised in a pretty dedicated spiritst household, but when I was 13 years old, I started questioning the power of God, and it's own existence. At now, I'm an Agnostic, but I believe in things lower than God, like angels, spirits, etc. (btw if anyone wonders what spiritism is, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritism) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snailmusk Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I'm a sniveling little Dualist, so no not really. Personally, I think asking if someone's "religious" or not is getting a bit out of date; 'cause most people aren't at this point and the number is going down the toilet. Now there's a whole big wide wacky spectrum of nonsense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, it's been a while I last checked. Can't have changed that much, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydreamer97 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm Catholic. I don't really enjoy going to Church much (I go to Catholic college and being forced to go to mass is a bit of a hassle considering my workload) but I do believe in God and pray.

mitchhamilton Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 wow, so out of the 48 that answered, 8 would consider them self really religious while 40 would not. of course this doesnt mean they dont believe in a god or anything.

Soulless Watcher Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I believe that there is some sort of deity(s), but I don't make any particular effort to follow the "path" of any religion. For one thing I have allot of things going on to make the God(s) hate me. I generally champion individuality over community, was conceived out of wedlock, and masturbate regularly. I have also come to fear and distrust the higher power(s), due to some of the possible answers that I have come up with, to glaring questions most people of faith tend to ignore.

Okarin Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm agnostic since my adolescence, I believe God's existence can go either way (not that we'll possibly ascertain it anytime soon -- that's the trick, folks!!), and every religion under the Sun can be good or bad. I of course was raised as a good Catholic and I've fiddled with Buddhist views since, but hey, these are just theories. The prophets are from so long ago. Religions should be about doing good, and you don't need religion for that. Do good because that way you will benefit yourself and your peers, and everything will work out. Also the Buddhist concept on reincarnation and the Universe being a testing ground for souls is nice, but you can't bet all the money on that. For example, you could be tempted to neglect this life you have since you are being reborn anyway. That's no good. In a sense, thinking that this life is all we have and when it's over it's over, is a nice motivational concept, contrary to what it may seem. All in all, I'd like to go to a Heaven where I can meet people such as Bud Spencer and Gene Wilder, let alone my dead pets and loved ones. That'd be awesome. mitchhamilton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
