Spiritual? Religous? Could care less?

I believe in 'god', but I do not define it as a humanlike being for sure. Or something else for that matter, I believe we just don't know for sure and frankly I guess I'm lucky for not having the urge to narrow it down. I also don't see the point of worshipping god because he/she/it might have created everything. If it did I'm thankful though :biggrin:
So yeah, I consider myself spiritual. I'm just open for interpretations of it all, just don't feel like adapting a religion that feels only partly right.

 

Agnostic-ish here.

I think we rot in the ground, there's no heaven, no afterlife, no doubt about that sort of thing. I think the meaning of life is... whatever you feel like making it. There may be a higher power, but I'm rather certain this power has no idea it's a power at all, and is rather unlikely to have any sort of consciousness, awareness, and is not alive in the sense we think of as alive. Perhaps I mean the universe and luck in general? I don't know.

I was not raised religious, but do value a lot of the ideas and theories from different religions, while also totally hating and abhorring other ideas, often from the very same religions or belief systems. I think almost any religion can be practiced with honor, and almost any can be abused or taken to extremes. It's a personal thing. I think in the end religions (for the most part) where designed by people who did not beleive them, but understood others needed something to follow, to help them do the right thing. Do the right thing, and you're strait.

My not-so-soon-to-be dreads are not connected to religion or spirituality, but more nature, I just think it's a legit looking style that's also actully reasonably practical and kind of how our hair evolved to be. I can see something spiritual about it, but it's more just a sort of right feeling? I don't know.

So no, I'm not religious or spiritual in the traditional sense, but very spiritual in a less traditional sense. I tend to philosophize lots, I suppose.

 

I dont believe to much in any particular religion, but I do believe in love thy neighbor, and I decided to start my dreads as a way to begin to give up some of material possessions, because eventually your things will own you in a way, and I'm vegetarian, but other than that there is no religion for me.

 

if this man had started a religion, i would follow it.

 

thoreau should have rocked dreads.

 

Zen Buddhist. With a side order of Pastafari.
Not of any particular tradition but my adviser dude comes from a Korean zen background.

I resisted Buddhism for some time because I had niggling issues with Nirvana and Reincarnation. In finding zen, I've realized that neither of those things actually matter.

Before all of this, I was a Discordian Jedi.

 

so i take it from that comment that i should believe what u believe? that is stupid. ide never belittle someones beliefs. fuck off

 

Born and raised in a non religious family however in my early teens I thought myself as christian. I was saved, however after a few years I drifted away.
It was too regimented and didn't suit me. Also being in a non religious family I found it hard too.

I have always believed in 'god' as such.
Lately I have been hanging out with some Bahai folk that are up here at the moment. A good friend of mine declared herself Bahai and only a year ago she was the one person I thought would never become religious.
In all honesty I have never seen her so happy. Not only is she smiling like a loon she is smiling from the heart.
The Bahai faith has a magical way about it.
The prayers, the words somehow fill me up with an unknown joy, an inner calm. It's strange for me saying that because I havn't experience such a thing before.

I was given what they call Anna's Presentation last night. It's essentially an introduction to the Bahai faith.
Tonight I'm off to a musical devotional to rock it up with my didge and uke.

Peace and love to you all.

 

There's just so many good ones to choose from but for now I will say I am half scientologist half fundamental latter days saint. Though I heard Allah gives virgins when you die so you can see why I just can't pick

 

I've already had 72 virgins, so the appeal really isn't there for me :/

 

Mystic.

 

i am non-practicing, because my God doesnt need to be worshipped, or feared. (or anything from me)
