i believe that there is an almighty god, but i have difficulty believing in the whole part about Christianity because it contradicts itself, with the warfull god and the loving god. I consider myself Buddhist, I believe that all animals have the same right to live as humans. I further believe that people can reach enlightenment by leaving behind the worldly values like money, cars, etc.

I, myself, am agnostic. I believe it is impossible to know of the existence of the divine, so any religion that believes in a god I disagree with, specifically christianity, only because it is the religion I know most about. Both my parents were raised Catholic, now my mother is a deist and my father is atheist. My brother goes the a Catholic school, but is also atheist. I believe religion's gods are creations of human minds, and therefore cannot be legitimate. I don't deny that there is a possibility of some sort of supernatural being, but if there is it is impossible to know of it. I agree with atheists and their disbelief in a christian god, among other gods, but I disagree in that I don't see how, if, for example, a god exists, but simply has never presented itself with the earth and it's inhabitants, how they can be positive that none exist. To me, that is like denying if there is something in the next room of a house when you've never been in that room, you may not expect there to be something there, but how is it possible to be sure?

On another note, does it bother anyone else (especially other agnostics) that the agnosticism symbol is a question mark? I'm not confused or questioning anything, I simply believe it is impossible to know.

I don't believe in any gods, but I do meditate. I can't really say I'm Buddhist, I was never taught Buddhism by anyone or anything, except perhaps the dictionary (as I happen to be one of the geeks who's bothered to read the dictionary from A-Z). I meditate mostly to improve myself on a mental level. When I'm thinking how cool it would be to kick some but like in the Matrix, I remind myself how uncool it would be to get my but kicked like in the Matrix. When I'm thinking I don't have enough money to spare any on charity, I remind myself of people who don't have enough money to spare on food. I actively try to cure myself of all my cravings, which for the most part hasn't been too hard since I never had that many cravings to begin with. I don't drink cofee, I don't smoke, I don't drink alcohol, I don't have sex (and am still a virgin by choice), I don't date, and I eat less than 5 grams of sugar a month (being that I have a strong line of diabetes in my family, I don't have much of a choice here).

I'm not too concerned about getting killed, becuase I know I'm going to die pretty soon anyway. So far, every great-great-grandparent, great grandparent (excepting one), and grandparent, has died from a brain tumor. I don't know if my parents will too, but if they do, my odds of not dying from a brain tumor are slim to nil. I watched my grandpa die like that, it wasn't pretty. I would gladly be murdered, as long as it were a painless death, rather than die like I've seen. It's a horrible death.

I'm reluctant to have children, because I know how they will die, and peak oil doesn't encourage having children either. If I die, I'd like to die without hurting anyone. If in another 20 years peak oil has been circumvented, I will consider having children. What I'm a lot more interested in however, is in finding a way to treat cancer before either of my parents get it. If I can't find a way to treat cancer, I'd at least like to find a way to put somebody on ice until I or someone else can find a way to treat it. My life goal revolves around sucessfully developing a viable means of cryogenic freezing for humans. Given this, anything becomes possible.

Anyway, there you go, my religion; sort of.

Namaste,

here i am thinking that we can't do this on this forum. i think that this is specifically against the rules.

I believe the rule is you can't advertise your religion, or encourage it.

 

[cheelonos]

I like Loki and the rest of Team Norse (the name Team Norse did not originate with me). I don't consider myself Asatru, although I will call myself Heathen or polytheistic. What that makes me, I'm not sure. Right now I'm sort of winging it, learning as I go, which sort of stinks every now and then in that I get just enough rope to hang myself with and no idea what to do with it. Aside from, you know, accidentally hurting myself and all. It's still interesting (heh... tricksters... ).

 

[Eudaimonist]

I don't have sex (and am still a virgin by choice)

Considering that you are only 2 years old, maybe that's a good thing.

My life goal revolves around sucessfully developing a viable means of cryogenic freezing for humans.

Good goal!

I believe the rule is you can't advertise your religion, or encourage it.

indeed, this is so.

of course, this is left to the moderators to determine.. there actually isn't a very clear policy in this regard.

if, for instance, a Christian member believes that by explaining the definition of a term, a warning can be issued.

eh.. like all things, it is a rule in motion

metta,
