I WANT to be religious, and in fact, I go to church every Sunday and take very slight offense when people diss Christianity/Catholicism (and it's the hip thing to do), but I'm not sure if I myself believe. I like the aesthetics of it and I like the general idea, but it'll probably take me a couple more decades to make sense of things. It hasn't been a bad experience being pseudo-religious, so if someday I drop out of it, I won't have any regrets/ill feelings about the years I spent ''practicing'' it. I don't ever want to be ''born again'' or hardcore C or anything like that. |

if you're only "pseudo-religious" I don't see how you could take very slight offene to people dissing it, seeing as you don't seem to be taking it very seriously either. |

Dissing christianity isn't hip - it's been going on for centuries. It probably has something to do with the fact that it was cobbled together from other religions and has been showing its ugly, rigid and uncompassionate side too prominently for too long. |

my religion is listening to incunabula on a handful of blotters, sunday or not. |

You see, Jay - that's 'hip' |

definatly not religious. definatly believe in lack of control. definatly okay with not knowing.. |

You're not curious about life or the universe? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I feel like there's no way of knowing one way or another, so there's a good chance time spent on the methodology of religion is quite likely wasted time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
there's more to curiosity than Religion. Just because we probably won't ever know EVERYTHING (not as humans) doesn't mean we can't discover things which will vastly improve our time here on earth. |

besides.. there's plenty of other things i can meditate on. like, i wonder what color that girl's panties are?, or could i throw a rock all the way to the other side of that hill? |

I'm sure those thoughts will last you the next 40-odd years. |

''if you're only "pseudo-religious" I don't see how you could take very slight offene to people dissing it, seeing as you don't seem to be taking it very seriously either.'' Doens't matter that it doesn't ''seem'' like I'm taking it seriously. Don't take everything I said literally, pseudo isn't the right word, I just happened to choose to use it that particular moment. I'm not a fake Christian, I take it quite seriously, but I have a very open mind. I might be a Christian forever. Pauly Wog- every religion is chock full of ugly, uncompassionate people, most religion has a tainted past. No Christian I know (and EVERYBODY around me is a Chrisitan) is ''evil'', though obviously they do exist. It's not the religion, it's the people that practice it. Christianity does nothing but good where I am, but there's always going to be some powermad meanie in a more volatile environment or position that does his own version of God's work for him, and all hell breaks loose. And since we're the most prominent/powerful (I think) religion, unfortunately we'll always do the most damage by default. I'll never deny Christians have caused a LOT of fucking carnage over the years. |

God hates humble things like panties and rocks. You will only find real spirituality in gilded steeples and jewel-encrusted books. |

''I might be aChristian forever.'' Sort of a type, there should be a ''NOT'' someone in there. |

oh ofcourse. curious as fuck. that's what's so great about being human.. the ability to ponder about every little thing until you're blue in the face. |

i am Christian, but i dont want to talk about how/why i am...i dont want people here to tell me im wrong or find fault in the Bible or remind me of bad things that i or other Christians have done.... but i do beleive at least part of the Bible is outdated, and i have adapted my faith accordingly. |

Im a Gnostic (not to be confused with agnostic which literality translates to unknowing), I believe there are truths in every "religion". I tend to follow christianity the most... although I do think it is full of hipocrisy, as is all organized religion. I think that if you follow what your heart tells you, you are more spiritual then those who go to church everyday for the sake of going to church. I do enjoy studying all types of theories and beliefs. particularly that of Magdalene ( The Tower) and the various occult rituals such as the ones the knights templars and freemasons practiced. True Pagan thought, also interests me. A really good book revolving around such topics is "Holy Blood Holy Grail" Although some christians might be offended by it. It even talks about Rennes Le Chateau which is worth writing a book on all by itself. You should see the church that this "crazy" catholic priest built if anyone is interested I could show some links to the pictures |

spirituality is shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Funny you should say that, because I do think there is truth to that as well. I think religion should prove meaning in life to oneself. not proving our selfworth to everyone else thru religion...which is what most religions have become so if no spiritually is what you think is right and this is what life has guided you to, how could it be wrong? everyone is different that is what is so great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess you're right but I wouldn't say should or shouldn't. I mean, personally, fiction is for entertainment purposes. No reason to be all serious with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I agree, to become too serious is what leads to division and holier than thou attitudes great avatar by the way, freaked me out when I saw the eyes move |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can some peole who are not interested in spirituality give some reasoned arguments as to why? The religious people here have been interesting and respectful, while others have just said things like "spirituality is shit." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*sorry, I didn't mean "religious people"-that has negative connotations (and I'm not even religious at all.) I meant people with a vague belief in something more-be they christians/buddists/agnostics etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why should I be interested in spirituality? Then I can tell you why I'm not. This question comes up, similar from christians "Gee! Why don't you believe in God?" Hmm. Give me a reason and I'll tell you why it's wrong. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can you stop assuming I am dictating things? I didn't say you SHOULD interested in spirituality in the first place, I am INTERESTED in knowing about your beliefs, because I generally find the reasons behind various beliefs interesting. It's as genuine as that. Where did I ever fucking state that atheists should be this or that? |
