What faith (if any) do you have?

Other.
I have a highly personalised belief system tailormade just for me

. It is mostly a set of values / ideas (perhaps even a philosophy) but it has a spiritual dimension as well. I believe in nature (my own and the surrounding); the powers I can feel both from interior and exterior sources and the divinity of these powers, maybe the same powers that other people refer to as God, Satan etc. but I do not believe that actual deities exist. Sometimes however I 'formalise' thoughts and feelings in archetypical symbols in which case I borrow from pagan tradition. I wouldn't know what to call it since it is a mish-mash of philosophy, pantheism and paganism but I have tried to structure it by writing which resulted in a 300+ pages 'book' :?

Haha! Actually I'm not very open about it. I really shouldn't consider myself a Christian, seeing as how I don't believe in the bible, I don't go to church, and I like to insult people. That and masturbation is like life support for me.

What religion would that make me? I believe in God and Jesus Christ, but I don't really practice any form of worship.

Pantheist, but most likely not the same way as Misha

i think nature/the universe is divine

Quote:

Pantheists concerned about personal immortality seek it in realistic ways - through children, deeds, works, and the memories of the living.

to that i might add, that i also find my immortality in death, no i'm not freaky, but when you die you'll turn to "dust" over time and thus live on in nature forever.... wiiii

the good thing about pantheism is that it doesn't reject science... real science... not the kind of hokus pokus science real christians come up with :lol:

Most likely not in the exact same way as you do. But I think more or less in the same way.

I chose "other" on the poll but I'm Jewish. Though my personal belief system is cut pretty generously with Kabbalah (not that Madonna smegma, I actually read the damn texts) and chaos magick.

Kathaarian · **Posted:** Sat Nov 05, 2005 5:03 pm

I do not believe the scientific explanations on the beginning of the world so I feel that there has to be a divine power behind all this. There has to be a spiritual being that created the beautiful world we live in. But I think it is impossible to be certain about it so I can not direct myself into any sort of belief. Religion has been and always will be a thing that I hate for it is full of lies and deceit and it is only man made. If it wasn't for the Catholic Church we would be in flying cars, going to Mars for a weekend away right now and if it wasn't for Islam we wouldn't have so much hate and suffering in the world.

But I still picked Muslim because I was raised to be one only to defy it later. Still I know that it is the religion that makes the most sense and it is far from what those treacherous filthy Arabs are practising today.

Wow, way to completely sterotype everything.

Not only that, but he contradicted himself as well.

I'm atheist / agnostic ... sort of (which may sound contradictory as well, so I'd be willing to explain if asked). Anyway, I actually voted "other".

Yeah what I said may seem like contradiction but it's not because I'm confused but it's just an issue way too comlex to explain in a few words. How could someone explain the belief system he made for himself in 20 years in a few words?

I have had to stereotype or more likely oversimplify what I said. Like I said above it's way too complex to explain in a few words.
