Religion?
<div class="IPBDescription">Are we allowed to even mention it?</div> I was gonna post a "What religion are you, share with the world, no discussion or bashing" thread but when I did a quick search, and read a few posts, I noticed some of them mentioned monse banning any thread mentioning religion.
As there is no rules/faq for the forum - I'd like to know if this still applies.
Thanks

There'll be one idiot who will say something another idiot doesn't like and the thread will get locked =/
/never considers the idiot factor......
Okies I wont
That's basically the root of every religious war in history <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
some idiot's fault.
there was a thread about this in the disc forum but every one soon got out their FlameProof3000" and their "HiOctane AutoFlamer"
needless to say, it got locked.
so i must say i dont have a religion.
I'll pretty much support Jobabob's Oppinion ...
Don't even think of sterotypes. We're not uptight people who hate everything and everyone and think that we're better than everyone else.
If they can prove there is a god, i'll believe.
Blind faith isn't my style.
As a Sikh friend of mine said once in a religion conversation: It's better to believe in something bigger than you, to know your place in the world, than to believe in nothing and think yourself all-important.
However, sometimes I feel that what we call God is an internal force. Not something outside governing everything, making things grow, doing godly business. More like something that guides us to do good deeds or somesuch. See that kid helping the elderly person across the street? That's God in action. Or at least, that's my version.
quick list of beliefs.
1. reincarnation
2. Karma
3. Fate (not exactly the normal definiton, just basically there's a path you can take that's perfectly balanced where all your actions are exactly as they should be.
Metaphysical/Philosophical beliefs
1. Perspective Omnipotence (Your perspective is all the reality there is)
2. Subconscious deity (theres a part of your mind that knows everything)
That's about it off the top of my head.
Esuna: If your referring to proving something through science we have yet to get a proper measurement of our own solar system, so somehow I doubt they have the capacity to prove the existence of god.
.. yea. .. ..... ... thats it.
I don't form conclusions and therefore don't form an answer to the question. Since we're all uninformed as to the basis of the very facts we'd need to PROVE one way or the other (aside from those who have "faith" which is believe without proof) then my opinion shall remain somewhat neutral.
Am I religous no.
For all the spiritual and mental good it does. The many religons in this world are the root cause of 99% of everyones problems.
Just think of how many wars, racist attitudes, biases, genocides, terrorist attacks, murders, hate mails, etc have been and are still caused by peoples differences in religion. Even indirect events such as burning Harry Potter books cause unnessicary ripples.
To any one who is religious, I respect your thoughts and opionions and I know there are just as many thoughtful and law abiding people as anyone else but like I say, this is just my opionion.
I gather bits and pices of various diffrent religions and put em together to suit my needs. combine that with metaphysics and you get GreyPawism
I'm a GreyPawist or a Me'ist
