What is your faith/doctrine/religion (if any?)

[Baud]

Atheist, but I enjoy researching ancient religions out of curiosity, plus I don't care about anyone's faith as long as they don't interfere with someone else's life, I firmly believe we should all have the right to do what we like with our lives unless it harms someone else's, so I don't care much about my country being mostly populated by religious people, I do care very much when they use that religion to limit everyone else's freedom though. If your faith makes you feel safer or has made you a better person then I'm happy for you and we'll get along.

Whatever means that I believe that I have no idea what, if anything, comes after death.

Agnosticism, currently. This doesn't mean I'm undecided, but I find that the answer to whether or not God is real is unimportant and impossible to prove. Though I do believe that religion can have an important part in our lives both as a moral guide and as a way of understanding ourselves and reality. Am thinking of learning more about Hinduism and Buddhism; Hinduism as I understand it is one of the most tolerant religions in the world and requires no conversion (you can even have atheist beliefs and be a practicing Hindu).

I masquerade as a Catholic as that's how I was raised. It pleases my parents and the people around me in real life. I attend church and follow the rules. I personally am not arrogant enough to believe that my species is special enough to have some exclusive admittance to an eternal paradise, though. We can only speculate whether some higher power is at play in the reality we find ourselves in, but I'm pretty sure humans haven't figured out the answer to that.

Also I want to stress that I have no problems with religion in general. All the major religions teach good values for the most part and I'm certainly not smart or learned enough to disprove any of them.

I was going to be witty and say I worship Me but even I don't believe in myself!

I appreciate this post for so many reasons

Pffft. Well, lets make it a religion then.

Spread the word of the angery emote!

 

[Hollowsong]

Hmm, can it be religion I just came up with? This thread kind of inspired me to think of a good faith for me... :3

So my (the one and only true one) prophecy is that Space Kitty Gods will come to Earth to stop hooman vermin from ruining whole galaxy. However, those who worship Cats and can be tamed (like me), will get nice collars with bell and nametag and we will have honor to serve our Kitty Gods as their pets.

So, you all infidels and heretics, better convert and start worshiping Felines for your salvation! >:3

Can I join the cult?

Agnostic.

I am my own god. I create my world, perception, and purpose. I take care of myself and those who are dear to me.

On a more genuinely spiritual note; I’m not closed-off to the idea of a deity or greater purpose existing. I’m just skeptical of it. I have never seen good evidence of it and most religious texts are full of contradictions alongside things that I find morally abhorrent. I doubt that the “organized” religions we know today are real — too many contradictory and illogical texts. However, I would not be surprised if there were something greater than us that spans the whole universe — or that perhaps some form of reincarnation is real.

My only thing is, I cannot believe anything which I have no empirical evidence for. So until we can more definitively say, I will remain belief-less.

Agnostic. Grew up in a Jehovah's Witnesses family (on my mother's side), and briefly flirted with Islam later on.

 

[Kinguyakki]

Passive-aggressive atheist. I don't have issue with people practicing their own religions. I don't want those beliefs pushed on me, though. I don't want to live according to what their religion dictates I can or cannot do. I specifically don't want them to try to convince me or convert me in any way. I won't be rude about it. . .I mean, I won't criticize or ridicule or mock people who are just doing their thing.

I like the "Religion is like a penis" rule: It's fine but don't wave it around in public and definitely don't put it in children.

I like that rule! "Religion is like a penis" seems to fit the following statements too:


"If it brings you joy and comfort, you don't have to explain it to anyone...just feel it deep inside you and let your spirit soar"
"You don't need it to be happy, but to many it's a big part of who they are and their life revolved around it"
"Those that seek it out know where to find it...those that don't want it need places to be free from it"
"Nobody has the right to tell you you have the wrong one as long as it isn't damaged or harming anyone"
"It's not that you have it but rather what you do with it that defines you"
"One does not need it to be a good or complete person"

Last one..."If you're willing to deal with the messy parts, you'll find there's often a lot to be discovered by exploring it"
