Are u Religious?

[jiedwar1234]

No, I'm not religious at all. At one point in my life, I was a Christian. I believed that the Bible was the inerrant word of God and was baptized. I even was in board to become a youth minister, and was about to enter seminary. But then, my senior pastor challenged me to learn the "proofs" of Christanity so I could convert others.

What I did was read the Bible cover to cover twice in the same summer. As I began to read verses that gave me pause, or I felt that were objectionable I researched it. The Apologetic theologians I read didn't seem to answer any of my questions with any satisfactory answer. My pastor just told me to pray on it. After several months and still no closer to finding the answers I began to expand my search. That's when I was exposed to a video debate of Christopher Hitchens. This debate was crucial. Hitchens exposed me to ideas that I never before entertained.

Through Hitchens, I discovered AronRa, Matt Dillahunty, David Silverman, Seth Andrews and Richard Dawkins. Over the next three-four years I slowly began loose my faith.

I'm now an Atheist. I don't believe in God or gods, nor the supernatural. I don't believe in miracles or other phenomenon associated with religion. I believe that I am the master of my life's course, and am ultimately responsible for my life's trajectory for good or I'll. I believe in doing right for the sake of doing right and don't believe that I'll be rewarded in a next life. I believe that treating my fellow human beings as I would myself regardless of sexual identity, sexuality, race, appearance, race, culture or religion in a humanitarian manner is not only highly recommend but, as society advances, mandatory is the best way to live life. I believe that it's perfectly fine to question yourself, especially your beliefs because it forces one to evaluate the validity of those beliefs. I believe that the only path to truth is through rigorous testing and collaborating evedince that has been peer reviewed.

I believe in all the Gods and goddesses including YHWH (Yahweh/God) but also I believe in the Gods that used to be believed alongside YHWH like his wife Asherah (yes god had a wife look it up) Ishtar, Baal, El etc. And all the other God's and goddesses of the other religions (like Zeus, Woden , Amaterasu, Krishna etc.) as well. I also believe that Gaotama Buddha is the teacher of all the Gods and of mankind. I believe in and try to follow the 5 precepts along with the eightfold path I also trying to read the sutras (but I haven't read many but I'm getting their). I believe in karma and reincarnation. So I guess you can say that I"m buddhist, but call me whatever you want just don't call me late for dinner. My longest mediation was around 2 and a half hours but that was the exception they're usually much shorter. Even though I'm a Buddhist I also love Jesus and I think he is quite the Enlightened being. We are all trying to achieve Nirvana (enlightenment). Once I achieve it I'll help others to achieve it as well. That is all May Buddha bless you all and Jesus!

I grew up Catholic so I also believe in God but I also believe in other Gods that other religions believe in. I believe that if other people believe in something then it’s possible that God also exists among ours. And of course some people don’t believe in anything and that’s fine too.

Highly so, hermetic Thelema.


It makes good sense to me, supports me and promotes my free agency and will.

Yes, I'm a Messianic. (Imagine Christianity done the Jewish way. It's reviving the original Middle Eastern Jewish context of the Sacred Text. Of course, that doesn't mean there's no meaning or redemption from faith in Him via the other regional/cultural flavors of the Faith. Euro-American Protestantism & Roman Catholicism, Russian Orthodox Christianity, the more African Coptic Christianity, etc. all have their place. I'd think there's a denomination out there that best fits our needs, concerns, life-challenges, backgrounds, etc.)

So, yes, I also believe in ישוע ("Yeshua"; 「Joshua」; lit.「Salvation/Savior/Redeemer」; more commonly「Jesus」).

I have an unshakeable believe in God , but I don't consider myself as religious.

[dolidol]

I do believe in something bigger then us. But I'm not a religious person.

[RoxyFoxx]

I'm a deist, which means that I believe in God but not in any religion. I believe that directly calling upon God is the right way to approach Him, in contrast to the highly ritualised and formalised prayer routines practised by various religions.
