Religion?

Marine0IMarine0I Join Date: 2002-11-14 Member: 8639Members, Constellation
<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

    Expect the thread to go down in a ball of flames.

    There'll be one idiot who will say something another idiot doesn't like and the thread will get locked =/

    It would have been a nice thread for the discussions forum (hint hint) but yes, the likelihood is, it will be hijacked. For my own part, none, unless anti-religion counts. (ooh, paradox!)

    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-->

    thats it

    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.

    usually when a thread needs people to be open minded it gets locked.

    its alright being open minded, but dont be so open minded that your brain and all of the other **** in your head falls out
  • ZanidZanid Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15158Members
    So lets continue the discussion and just disregard and / or ignore flames... I can be as open minded as needed.

    Christian, but like half of the christians out there, I have my "own, unique opinion on what exactly that is".
  • SaltySalty Join Date: 2002-11-05 Member: 6970Members

    I'll just settle for not believing anything, after all, you can't be sure until you see something for yourself, hell, even then you can't be completely sure, but its as close as your ever going to get.

    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.

    Myself, i have one belief. I believe what can be proven.

    If they can prove there is a god, i'll believe.

    Blind faith isn't my style.

    Agnostic, I guess. More that although I don't believe in anything like a god or gods, I definitely see the value in faith and religion.

    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.

    I'm a non practicing wiccan, but these days I'm more and more agnostic.

    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.

    When people ask, I say buddhist. But I'm not sure how buddhist I am, I follow the teachings but like everyone else I'm not perfect <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->. I believe that we are all made of the same substance, the same as the trees and the stars. I don't know what else to say, you have two ears and only one mouth for a reason.

    I'm an Idontknowist.

    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.

    Do I have my own set of values and morals, as to what i think isright and wrong? Yes

    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.

    Atheism is teh shizie, and I consider myself to be an extremely militant one. It's gotten me into quite a bit of trouble on these forums as well.

    Agnostic. There's something out there, I just don't know what/who it is, but it sure as heck isn't that guy who told thousands of Europeans to attack thousands of Muslims. /me doesn't flame, just listing a reason why I don't support Christianity

  • dr_ddr_d Join Date: 2003-03-28 Member: 14979Members
    I'm a Meist too, and I think everyone should be a Meist, meaning they should worship me.
