Religion. I'm thinking of getting back into Paganism again.I never really took it seriously before,but I think i'm ready to start again,as i'm in need of some spiritual direction in life.I'm quite a spiritual person anyway,or so I like to belive. Does anyone else "follow" a religion? |

Ateist. i will never, ever "follow" a religion. |
||||||||

i grew up a christian but recently (2 years) ive become athiest. i fell really empty inside. my opinion, stick with your religion |
||||||||
|

I was never part of a religion but I've always felt strongly about certain things,nature,polarity of male and female,peace etc. And Paganism fits perfectly to my needs. I don't wan't to start no shit here but,I always thought of Christianity as a law rather than a Religion.I thought it was designed to scare people into doing what is though right,as it is quite forced upon people.IMO. |

Following someone who sees no further than his own behind? Excuse me. |

Man created God, not the other way around. |

religion is a silly thing. I don't know how so many people get suckered into beleiving that sorta crap. |

the whole deal of christianity started when mary and joseph had sex and lied about it. officially the bible did not even exist before 300 AD. this shows just how made up it is as there are no other records of the events. |

Religion is dying in my opinion. How many people SERIOUSLY believe in religion nowadays as opposed to, say, 50 years ago? |
||||||||

if anything im buddhist. i respect christians but i just dont see things that way |

Religion is dying ?? excuse me? Please start drinking!! |

actually you're right a bad thing... |

What gets on my tits is religious hypocrisy. Look at Bush & Blair; devout Christians who are about to flout 'Thou shalt not kill' with eagerness. To me, that's like flicking Vs to the God Almighty. |

Sorry? Elberate,please. I am not following anyone.Those stalking rumours are lies,lies I tell you! |

I just criticize the concept of following a religious movement. |

i had an interesting thought last week whats a more attractive idea of an afterlife to you, heaven or reincarnation? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Reicarnation I suppose,as I don't belive in heaven,I am not Christian,you'd have to be Christian to belive in heaven. But if there was a heaven I'd still choose reincarnation because,I am Pagan,Pagans belive in nature.Nature is both good and bad,positive and negitive,male and female,its all based on polarity.Therefore Heaven could not exist without some extent of evil,for what is light without dark? I tried to make sense and I hope I did. |

yeah thats a grreat rreligion, if its a rreligion at all. i rrespect it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also respect all religions,for that matter,even Satanism.You belive what you belive and in most countries its your right.Don't mistake me,I do not agree with Satanism,but I respect it. |
||||||||

Is it right to respect someone who doesn't respect you? |

Religion (IMO) is just a guideline for people that dont like their lives to be wrapped up in a nice neat little package. Its easy to live a good life without religion. Be positive about life. Be nice to people. Respect the earth and all that she keeps alive. I dont like this whole "ohh dont eat meat on this day" and "dont have sex before you do this". Its not right. Hell if I want to get myself off, then I will. I never understood why that was considered bad! |

||||||||

|
|
so then we have not one person here with any REAL idea of what makes up the fabric of the universe or man's existence in it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reincarnation. especially if you could remember previous lives. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is beyond human understanding... for the time being. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just (try to) believe in myself and the values who are important to me. And Jesus died for his own sins, not mine :) (read this one on a t shirt once, from Crass I guess) |

oh and TonePusher, was that you in the corner, was that you in the spotlight? |

how sad to see people who think any God they follow has to cater to their opinions... do you believe you are sufficient to judge a God? anyone here who does, please feel free to crown yourself now... becuase you obviously deserve to win the nobel prize. |

|
|
tibbar, whats your beliefs? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

it would explain some of the wacked out dreams i have :) |

as the one and only christian on this board (apparently), i can say this: i feel sorry for you all, that you are so very bitter with your maker... and that you are hateful towards his people. no doubt i will get alot of slack for this, but i must say... if i was buddhist would you hate me for expressing my views? what about muslim? jewish? no, somehow i doubt it. i'm no preacher, and i don't claim to have all the answers. but i am very sorry for some of you here who believe you are superior to God. subjective perception is an illusion. there IS a such thing as concrete reality. and in it, there are things that any educated and willing observer can see. one of them is that an intelligent form, a deity, created man and everything we can see. im sorry to rant, i dont mean to, and im sorry that alot of you will be upset by this... but creature comforts are not the foundation of undeniable truth. |
||||||||

|
|
i do have problems with the truth argument. and ideas of there being a superior faith. its all very personal. i consider myself to be level headed and unbiased, and im proud of that. |
