Re:Whats your religion ? 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago

I call myself Jewish, but for me this is more of a heritage thing than a religious one. Sure, I celebrate Passover, Yum Kipur (sp?), Rosh Hoshanah (sp?), and Chanukah, and occasionally Purim and others, but my family does this to celebrate our ancestors' traditions as the Hebrews. I am dubious over the existence of God, yet I do believe some supernatural power created the universe (thru the Big Bang). Whether the supernatural power or God has influence in our world, idk. Also, if there is a God, I believe that any good person will go to Heaven, no matter their religion. I believe God sees religion as a way to teach people to act ethically (tho it doesnt always work ex: crusades, radical muslims, and countless wars fought over religion). Finally, I believe in Karma and a few other Buddhist ideas.

I'm creationist. Just the way I was raised; if I got anything from my parents it was their belief that their is a God in Heaven. Don't share their same sentiments on Christianity and homosexuality though >.< Also disagree on their views of the old testament, which I am seriously doubting. Also, I believe that all religions have wisdom and some bases in truth and am more then willing to listen to the beliefs of my friends who believe in something different then me. I especially liked my Wiccan friend's view on how we all do magic even when we don't know it, how we can change somebody's mood and such.<br /><br />Post edited by: memmer66, at: 2008/04/04 21:06

Personally i cannot beleve in a god, or any other supernatural things, and find the complexity of how our universe formed and life evolved more beautiful than any other way of explaining creation. However i still hold great respect other peoples beliefs, my uncle runs a wicca commune in Massacusetts, and my hero is a man called Nooh Dawa: my guide while i was trekking in Borneo.
He is the spiritual guardian of the forest, named so after the spirits contacted him in a dream, told him to go to some nearby waterfalls where he met with the spirits manifested in the form of a dragon, who named him guardian of the forest. http://jingalex.wordpress.com/category/world-nations/malaysia/sabah/long-pasia/

I was born and raised Mormon, but I don't really attend anymore.
I feel that a person can be spiritual and everything without an organized religion.
I think that if you just follow a moral system they are all pretty much the same in all religions, it doesn't really matter what you are (Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, etc.) we all follow the basic moral system.
So I don't really focus on worshiping any god however, I do though believe that there is a god.<br /><br />Post edited by: Vegboy, at: 2008/04/18 11:28

1st i was brought up christian, by my family. Than later discovered that i was gay, and that was the origonal insult that spurred me to athesim after i found oh so many more flaws with christianity. Decided to try other religions, and although i do see some merrit in each (save saitanism  ) they all say that they are perfect and yet i was able to find a flaw in each. Or more rather somtimes others were able 2 point them out 2 me. Either way a religion that says it's perfect, and has flaws in it has ego problems. However i also some truly mind boggling things in my search and couldn't dismiss em. Not 2000 yrs ago type of miracles but more modern miracles. Thus i decided that my religon is agnostic.
and until some1 can give me either a) a new religion that's more logical
b) some1 can answer all my questions about a religion 2 my satisfaction

I know it's private. I wanted it to be public, but it won't let me. So, just friend request me saying GYC or something and I'll accept.
