Are you religious?

and if so, why?

ps - i don't want this thread to descend into a bigoted
flamewar; everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but
there's nothing wrong with debating them courteously.

I believe in God and the supernatural.

Normally these things turn into religion bashing.

no they don't. they inevitably turn into a bigoted flamewar
from a myriad of different perspectives where no one is ever
satisfied and someone insists that their beliefs alone have
been targetted. you'll find as many opposing views here as
members.

they do usually, but I'd really prefer for this one not to.


i'm really more interested in why people believe in what
they believe as opposed to conducting a survey of the
board's beliefs.

however since that leaves people open to shit like "that's a
bullshit reason to believe in god because blah blah blah
insert the aggressive put-down of your choice here" i
can understand if people don't want to justify their
beliefs. I still hold out hope though.

Ok then:

I believe in God, because I have had profound religious
experiences within a religious context (although I wouldn't
call myself religious) and I believe in the supernatrual
because I have had an experience with a spiritual entity.

Now everybody is going to think I am insane (I guess I am in
a way) but I can't help what I experience. I happened to me,
I was lucky I guess.

Specific Goddesses:
Some important ones are:

Freya (aka Freyja) is the Goddess of love, beauty and
sexuality, and perhaps a dozen other attributes. She leads
the Valkyries who take the souls of slain soldiers to
Valhalla (Odin's great hall).

Frigg is Odin's wife. Her name has been secularized to a
slang term which refers to sexual intercourse. She is the
patroness of the household and of married women.

Skadi is the Goddess of independence, death, hunting and
skiing. Scandinavia was named after her; the English words
shadow, skullduggery and shade came from her name.

Ostara, is a Goddess of fertility who is celebrated at the
time of the Spring equinox. She was known by the Saxons as
Eostre, the Goddess of Spring, from whom we have derived the
word Easter. Ostara's symbols are the hare and the egg.

In the Ray of Creation, each level of "World" is assigned a
number corresponding to the number of forces acting in that
world.

In the Absolute, the three forces constitute one whole: the
single and independent Will of the Absolute. The Absolute is
therefore assigned the number 1. In a world of the second
order (All Galaxies), the three forces are divided; these
worlds are therefore assigned the number 3.

Thereafter, as we descend the Ray of Creation, each lower
world inherits all the forces from all the worlds above it
as far as World 3, and in addition, having been created, it
manifests three forces of its own. Thus, in worlds of the
third order there are (3)+3 = 6 forces; in worlds of the
fourth order there are (3+6)+3 = 12 forces, and so on...

The number of forces in each world indicates the number of
orders of laws to which the given world is subject.

The fewer laws there are in a given world, the nearer it is
to the Will of the Absolute.

The immediate Will of the Absolute reaches only as far as
World 3; it does not reach World 6. In World 3 the Absolute
creates, as it were, a general plan of the Universe, which
is then further developed mechanically. The Will of the
Absolute cannot manifest itself in subsequent worlds apart
from this plan, and in manifesting itself in accordance with
this plan, it takes the form of mechanical laws.

No, because claims of Allah being a moon god have been
falseified and are, apparently, ridiculous.

I was actually making fun of people who blindly "refute"
Islam.

Although I am not a muslim and never will be. I think.

i don't know what pekoe is and won't bother to look it up

i'll bring the tea and the run-on sentences.

Orange pekoe is simply regular black tea, I'm afraid -
nothing exotic. So you needn't bring tea, my good man. I've
already seen to that.

The run on sentences though - that sounds delightful!

qrter: he will do nothing of the sort.

i've never been really religious, and although i don't
believe in nor absolutely reject any hypothesis for
this kind of things (and don't want to *believe* in any),
i'd really hate that "almighty god/watching
everything/heaven/hell" one. if you think of it, it's just
really fucked up (and in my opinion terribly unfair). i'd
rather not exist at all than live in a world with this
(actually i think no life after death at all would be the
best).

and religion has resulted in some good things i guess, but
some horrid ones as well... messages of love and tolerance,
okay, if you take it the good way; but look at religious
fanatics, crusades, etc. religions are not all evil, but
they're dangerous.
