Are you religious?

[Lunar Glow 676]

I'm agnostic and open to learning more about all religions before I make a decision. I'm curious and fascinated about all of them.  

[Celli 4,339]

I don't believe in God. Atheist.

Your topic already existed so I've merged it with the existing one.

[Cash In 22,511]

Raised as a catholic, don't give a shit now.

[Nightfall Gloam 18,267]

I was raised a Christian but honestly, I've become Agnostic more recently...

Since I'm transgender and bisexual, I think it's safe to say that I won't be accepted in a church, mosque, or synagogue because of differing beliefs there. Therefore, it's best to say that I'm not very religious but religion is something I don't think much about as a whole.

I'm cool with religious people as long as they understand that I have my own way of living life. 

[Frostgage 7,976]

I was born into a decidedly atheistic family, and as such religion was never a part of my life growing up. Personally I am an agnostic and I really hate the lack of respect my family has for people of faith :V

[Phosphor 11,532]

I am a Classical Deist. Most of my family are Catholic.

[CandyCorn 428]

Nope. I'm not against religion or anything. I just choose not to have one. Some people might think of my as agnostic though... so who knows. *shrug*

[Dan. 1,825]

Spiritual but not religious  I keep a 'You do what makes you happy.' mind set.

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

I think I'm into Celestianism. 

[Lucky Bolt 35,085]

Technically I am a Christian, but am not hardcore religious.

I think I may have already mentioned in another thread that I am a Mahayana Buddhist (I fall under the Chan school of Buddhism). I meditate and I dabble in koans quite a bit. I also carry a sprinkling of Taoism beliefs aswell, with a mix of Shinto beliefs related to Inari. There are also various other personal beliefs that I have, but I try to keep a lid on them unless they become relevant.

[Nsxile 27,307]

Nope, as there is no sufficient tangible evidence to show that any religion is actually true... But each to their own.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I am an agnostic atheist, meaning I don't believe there is a higher power, but I don't outright reject the possibility. I wouldn't be accepted into most religious institutions anyways being that I am gay as well as gender non-binary.

I myself I'm a Polytheistic person, I can't deny that there are superior forces beyond human understanding. But what do you define by "religious?" 

[Ocean Breeze 5,105]

Technically, I am a Christian, but I'm not hardcore religious or anything. 

[Partialgeek514 5,011]

That's weird. I though I commented on this thread before, but I guess not.  I'm very Christian. In particular, I'm in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My whole way of life is practically founded on my religion. I honestly can't imagine being happy without it.

[dead account 2,713]

I'm not. Unfortunately, I was born into this catholic stuff. So I had to pay money to get rid of the "status", I did this a few years ago. Why paying taxes for the church when I'm not a believer, right?

[Tom Gallagher 33,595]

Born a Protestant, currently an agnostic. I believe in some kind of afterlife but nothing else. 

[Silly Druid 7,186]

No, I'm not. As Laplace said, I have no need of that hypothesis.

[EpicEnergy 23,224]

I'm a "Christian" who hates God and is going to hell. I know, that sounds really confusing, but it's what I truly believe.

[They call me Loyalty 1,948]

Imagine being able to prove that almost everything said by the bible is accurate to some degree. And still not wanting to believe it. Well, yes. That is my not religion.
I've been to the heavenly dome of a flat earth contained within the ring of the antartic "pole". Just as is decribed in that book. And I still can not believe my disappointment. And all the others who hit the "ceilling" were happy because of "yoshua". And I question myself with some mild repulsion towards human stupidity and hypocrisy. "Do they not realize that if this reality is a mechanical construct of nature created by a "god", then it is also safe to say that jesus is yet another character of this reality? If not the direct culprit for allowing the chaotic nature of this "divine" comedy?". Probably, if you asked him personally, he would give you one of those sh*tty parabolic answers that go nowhere. I feel like I know him, already.
Anyway. It is too much. Hiting this "barrier" in the sky was like that truman show movie? When the main character hits the edges of a wall where the horizon is painted over, and then realizes everything in his life was a lie. And empty compromise.
Then the dream dies, and so does a part of you. And there is nothing left but the animal inside.
Well, that kind of crisis I've been experiening during the last years of my life. And I still do not want it to be true. I really wanted to believe there was more than this. Like more than humanity. Like more than survival, and being unwilling part of this economic, political and social charade I never managed to believe myself any more than the ideological pretence and imaginary morals that subdue our basic human instincts. But that time of the life that is called childhood was lost to me.

The animalistic nature that I've seen about humanity since early in my life. It is like those stories about policemen having to see the worst side of humanity. And then they are tormented by it, and then they watch the idealized versions of humanity presented by shows like star trek to find some hope about the state of the world. Even if star trek is fiction, much like our perception of outer space. These poor people have nothing to hold on for hope other than an empty dream.
I can understand some of that. Being with your head so against the ground that you cannot even breathe anymore. I threw the entire inheritance of my family to the winds because I needed to prove myself I was anything but another animal. But in the end, I am a poor animal, now. Hahaha.

I cannot even prove myself that there is an outer space. So, this is it. I am trapped within the boundaries of the only book I never wanted to read in my entire life. A fiction that is poorly writen and executed by the powers of the world, when you look at the bizarre absurdity of what is portrayed by media. Insanity like the virus agenda, for example. Am I sharing the world with a bunch mental patients, or is that simply human animal nature? And all this charade being designed to make the character who is yet come look better by comparison.
What is the point of pretending, when you know it isn't real anymore? My little human. And which one is more scary to consider?
All in the name of a creator that was always behind the "good" and the "evil". The very same creator that set the snakes upon the waters and the land. What kind of shepherd lets the wolves loose among the "sheep"? Sheep... that is funny. Wolves among wolves in the end. Indoctrinated animals against natural animals. The strong and the weak.
Everything feels like an empty compromise. Everything is conditioned by something else. I've seen miracles, shadow beings, secret military aircraft like the tr-3b parade in front of my hourse, angels, merkabahs flying over the sky directly over the valcony, the movable stars and the sun. Countless messages of "hope". And still I cannot escape it. I am disappointed with myself most of all. For wanting to believe there was more than this. For wanting to be anything but myself. Because, when it comes to it. I can only be human.
That there was an inherent potential to be more than this... But it is the same animal wearing different clothes and pretexts in the end.
There is no inherent value to anything beyond that which we give to things.
There is nothing else underneath. But I wanted to keep pretending because it made me feel better, when reality was being... reality. Everything else is just that... pretence.
It will turn out that truth is the only thing I've been trying to run away from my entire life.

I really do hate myself, I hate everything about this world. I have a genuine hatred of humanity. And I always aim to bring the worst within themselves, even when I know it is there alrady. Because I know myself.

No, I am not religious, and I don't intend to be.
