Are you religious?
Do you believe in God? Do you believe in religion? Let’s hear what you believe and why.
I’ll respond later but I will start with I have studied religion to a certain degree.

No. None. But I do have theories that to me make logically more sense if God were to exist. But it doesn't. Yes I think Jesus existed. But do I think half the shit that happened that he did, of course not.

Re: Are you religious?
If I had to put a label on it, I guess I'd say I follow the buddhist religion more than anything else. Still not sure I believe in the idea of reincarnation but I try to follow their guidelines for a happy and non-suffering life. Changing my outlook with the help of many buddhist audiobooks has done as much for my mental health as therapy, if not more.

Religious? No.
Do I think there is something greater than us? Sure. I don't know who or what that is or what to call it but I think there is "something"...whatever that may be. And it may be different things to different people yet still part of the larger "something".

Idk I think Jesus was probably a real person who did a lot of good in his day but the "miracles" attributed to him in the bible are blown way out of proportion.BigRedRetard wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 4:22 pm There never was a "Jesus" and there is no god. We are meat that reasons. Nothing more.

Not true. Organized religion is very much a way to control the humble masses. It's also used to alleviate man's fear of death.stonedmegman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 4:48 pm "If there was no God there would be a need for man to invent one" - Voltaire

and the more fucked up a society is, the more strict their religion will be. Case in point, Islam.

Re: Are you religious?
Atheist, pure and simple. Is there some kind of ultimate force behind the workings of the universe? Maybe, but if so, it has bigger worries than someone on their knees wishing for more money or a masculine child. So there's no point in trying to worship it. It's not concerned about you. Anything more is just conceit.

Personally I believe Jesus existed and was who he claimed to be. I also think that organized religion sucks, therefore I don't take every thing the Bible says at face value and rarely attend church.

I was raised Russian Orthodox but I bailed on it when I was 14. In 2015 I accepted President Donald J Trump as my Lord and Savior.
