Who here believes in God? I dont mean any one God, I just mean spirituality in general. Wether its God, Allah, Krishna, whatever
I absolutely believe something higher than this material world exists, there is no doubt in my mind. However, I believe that this higher something cannot be found through religion, but through personal experience and the understanding of oneself.
Agreed 100% man. I learn from Krishna, but even He says that all names for God lead to the same thing, and that we can only get closer to actualizing our realizations by doing good. It does not matter what we believe, as long as we are well-meaning in nature and constantly questioning our existance, then we are on the right path
That's a very complicated issue for me. I would consider myself more of a Neo-Pagan who dabbles in Wicca, likes to educate herself on other religions and practices for sake of knowledge, and is not 100% about her beliefs when it comes to God. Do I believe that there was a Creator of some sort? Yes. Do I believe in one God, one singular almighty Creator? That is something I'm unsure of.
I know what I believe but really I just took a little from this, a little from that and had my own experiences that have shown me what I believe.... and it's not from any organized religion but what connects everything.
i do look deep...its been quite the journey so far...i just dont' think i'll find anything that will ever be "it", y'know...always looking inside myself and just finding tidbits of info from various places... one day, it can be one thing and next week it might be totally different...i never know...but its the journey of discovering that i'm more interested in
God looks sorta like this: Currently, you compose a tiny fraction of this image. But at the 'beginning' and the 'end' you are it in totality.
Of course I've had my doubts from time to time---who hasn't?---but yeah, overall...I believe that there is a G-d, an almighty creator.
Talking about love, and what connects everything, I have a similar belief/theory... I tend to believe in a higher power, if not an all knowing 'god', then, in the concept that we're all here and in this together, whether we like it or not... On some days I tell myself "**** it, you're an atheist", because I know that what I describe is not the popular definition of 'god' but... hey... I guess, overall, my biggest fear is a closed mind, so I don't want to subscribe to any specific belief, even if it's my own.
I really don't like how the christian church throws the word hell around so much. Basically you could be the most generous, nicest person on earth and still burn in flames for eternity. hmm... somehow that just blows my mind. I believe in a God or creator of some sort, but im still trying to find myself at the moment.
