What religion do you follow? If you don't follow a religion where do you gain your ideologies from? Are you proud of your religious background? How strictly do you follow your religion? Have you changed religion from the one you were born into? |

i began my life as an anglican, who said his prayers every night... first a little song that went "lord keep us safe this night...", and then the "Our father, who art in heaven..." one, and then i did my "god bless"ing... but the thing is that for the most part i really kind of hurried through it, and for the longest time i just sand "lorkeebahsafethisnight...", and my godblessing was shortened to "God bless me, my family and my friends..." and then in a stroke of suckupy genius, i would say, "... and God... bless you"... ha, i'll bet i got in his good books for that one! but anywho, it eventually occurred to me that certain parts of that whole thing didn't make a whole lot of sense... and you know, the whole teen rebellion thing... so i became an atheist... but i don't know, straight up atheism seems so goddamned unpleasant, and just doesn't adhere with what i feel from the world, so gradually, over time, i've slowly crept back into a degree of non-descript spirituality... i'd say that at this point, my beliefs are probably pretty similar to most pantheistic eastern religions, where i feel like we can all feel each other because we are all estranged parts of a greater collective whole... i believe in vibes, and music, and art, and beauty and maybe i'm fooling myself, but i think that you are fooling yourself if you think you can believe in anything with absolute certainty, that includes science and determinism and atheism and the whole mutherfucking shebang... yuh dig? ultimately it doesn't make a lick of difference what we believe, because what we think we believe and what we really believe as reflected through the manner in which we perceive and respond to our surroundings are to very very different things... |

i don't follow any religion. My parents were non-religious, but now mum is much into esoteric shite, from qi-gong to some tae-kwan-do (no, she can't fight:) with a group of housewives (though my mother isn't a housewife) and what they do is much like religion, despite her and her friends' objections to such a comparison. And one of my two sisters goes to a filial of some american church, but says she is attendin' it only for her friends, many of which can be found inside. She agrees with the point that there is no god, but at first she developed a doubt for that. It's good that she's back with us sarcastic atheists:) that fucking church sucks, i must say. Once i went there with my sister to watch some movie there in the church. This appeared to be Beautiful Mind, which I have already seen 2 times. After the movie ends, there's a guy of around 28 years old who gets his ass in front of everybody (a dozen of teenagers and me) and begins to tell everybody that the director of the movie lied, and that the movie hero when speaking his Nobel awards speech, has referred to God instead of his wife as the main helper in his life and so on, shite, shite and shite goes out from his mouth. When i told my sister that i was angry with this guy, she told me that after every film they watch in the church, he gets his ass in front of everybody and explains the lies of movie directors. That was what he did after watching Matrix #1. Hahaha. Blue pill - you choose no god, red pill - you choose god. Or vice versa. They should watch Troma movies, i think. (my longest post so far) |

i was baptised catholic in order to please my grandmother. but i don't really believe in anything. i've kind of explored everything i wanted to in organised religion. the problem that i have with them is the evangelistic aspect - i'm not comfortable with organisations (however commendable their moral stance) attempting to convert other people to their belief-system; this is essentially what all religions do.. otherwise they cease to exist. for me, there's nothing worse than an evangelist. that's why i won't call myself an athiest either. it seems like too much of a badge to me. i don't have the energy to waste evangelising against organised religion or against the belief in a god or power that i don't share with others. there are far more positive ways of channeling your energy. to me, someone who god-bashes at every opportunity is just as irritating as someone who constantly tells you how good their god is. none of it matters to me really. as i said, i explored it as far as i wanted to. i have a big problem with organised religions, as most of them seem to end up corrupt. i have no problem with people following their own personal codes and beliefs as long as there are no negative repercussions for anyone else. personally, i don't feel the need to have my moral code designated for me by someone/something else. that incinuates that i'm not responsible or autonomous enough to define my own set of standards by which i live. |

im becoming quite spiritually devoted. what my mind and heart tell me is that all faiths pursue the same god, and that the differences only lie in their perception. |

im not really a man of gods myself, because you can never know for sure whats behind all this (life) stuff. im a try-to-make-the-best-of-it person. |

i never would have supposed this in the past. but spiritual awareness has seems to have been a progression from being a decent/virtuous person. |

what you're saying is really interesting, and deep.. and i appreciate your openness & honesty.. but you've no idea how distracting/amusing it is seeing rod stewarts smug little face staring at me while i read your words. i'm imagining him saying them, whilst sipping on a pina colada & trying to grope a woman less that half his age. |

I believe in spirits and other dimensions but I'm not sure what happens when you die, we'll see... I did a religion-test once on the internet and it turned out I was closest to a neo-pagan. But I don't do any special rituals such as praying, worshiping or anything like that. So I don't know if I am in a special religious group. I don't even like the idea of being in one |

I once took the Scientology personality test, I talked about how I have all this money and I didn't know what to do with, then when they took me to the "e-meter" I started yelling about holding soup cans and how John Travolta is a big old closet faggot. |

i was a very strong athiest for a long time. I wasnt baptised or anything at birth and still am not. Mum is muslim, but doesnt practice at all. Dad is church of england and doesnt practice at all. i was pretty strong athiest most of my life, but i was always scared of what if i was wrong. But about 3 years ago i met my girlfriend and she was/is a strong christian. I started scoping out churches and what not and reading up a lot of information etc. Long story short, I consider myself a christian now. But i dont go to church because quite frankly the place scares me, and i dont go telling people they should convert or anything. Im quite happy with whatever choice people want to make. Since I have become a christian, i dont feel better, but i have this urge to be a better person than i have been in the past. and it just kind of feels right for me. but i also think some buddhist values are worth taking note of, and even some nihilistic ones too. coming from a strong athiest past i am not your average christian. but whatever you want to choose is your choice and i respect that. |

no religion. where do i gain from? i'd say everywhere, within and without. no pride. i try very hard to express clearly my convictions. i was raised lutheran. |

i was baptised protestant, but not really caring about it, it was mostly because of my mother, grandparents etc.... now i think i'm probably something like agnostic, or atheist. maybe there is "something", but several things, that could be considered as "god(s)" if you want, maybe some physical or metaphysical forces, maybe aliens, maybe the Mighty Bowl Of Creation, who knows. maybe there is nothing. i highly doubt, and would highly dislike, this god/heaven/hell idea - seems like living in a world governed by an almighty dictator for eternity. anyway, the social phenomenon of religion is very interesting (as well as scary)... how these things got so important, and how people follow them with such a strong faith sometimes... the most intriguing thing imo is that most people prefer to follow an already existing religion than have their own beliefs - and i'm not sure this is a good thing at all... |

What religion do you follow? I'm a proto-neo-aethist with a dash of hindu, a sprinkle of christianity and a plethola of chocolate cake-anity. If you don't follow a religion where do you gain your ideologies from? Non applicable, due to my clear answering of the first question. Are you proud of your religious background? Noyes. How strictly do you follow your religion? Exavier catfood. Have you changed religion from the one you were born into? Lloyd: You're It! Harry: You're It. Lloyd: You're it, Quitzies. Harry: Anti-quitzies. Lloyd: You're it. Harry: Quitzies, no anti-quitzies, no startzies Lloyd: You can't do that! Harry: You can to. Lloyd: Can not, stamp it! Harry: Can to, double stamp it, no erasies. Lloyd: Can not, triple stamp it, no erasies, touch blue make it true. Harry: No no no, you can't triple stamp a double stamp. Lloyd: La la la. Harry: You can't triple stamp a double stamp Lloyd. Lloyd: La la la la. Harry: You can't triple stamp a double stamp. Lloyd: La la la. Harry: Lloyd! Lloyd: La la la. Harry: Lloyd! |

So basically you were being a typical male and thinking with your pecker. If your g/f was a Hindu you'd be one of them. |

I've seen more guys convert for pussy... even after they break up they have to keep lying to themselves and being religious like they have to prove they weren't slimeballs who betrayed their core personalities for a wet meat hole. |
