Religion

I was born into Bhuddism switched to Catholicism coz I got in a really bad car accident. Bhuddism teaches that everything happens for a reason. That shook my foundation. I wanted to know wtf that reason was. I switched back to bhuddism coz I was working at CVS and the priest father Doug came in n bought cigarettes. I'm thinking hold the fuck up. Mine n all the $ that ppl donate to the church are funding his bad habits? I still go to both church and temple, not as much as I want to I believe in all religions. They can't all be wrong. Most religions just tell u to do good. I'm not a saint, but I do more good than bad. That's for dam sure All I kno is I was blessed by an angel. That car accident killed the the driver, my cousin. I was sitting shotty. The fact that I lived and he died while sitting right next to him makes me believe there is a higher power.

Growing up Buddhist and KARMA, KARMA EVERYWHERE. You're ugly? that's because in your previous life you didn't made merit enough. You're poor, that's because you're not donated enough in your previous life? Bad accident happens to you? Ofcourse it's because you done something bad in your previous life. Want a better life? Make merit&donating to temple so your next life is better.

A)No, I don't believe in any religion. Maybe you could consider believing in the Singularity a religion, but Moore's law is certainly backing it, so I don't. I believe most people alive today won't die because of tech developments. B)Because science>religion.It's easier to believe in the 0,01% chance of Quantum Immortality being correct(this is a scientific theory), religion was just made up by someone 3000 thousand years ago to earn $ or to fool themselves into thinking they wouldn't die. C)They are making a lot of money, they got it very right! D)I wouldn't think about religion if people didn't mention it all the time. The staff of Ainz Ooal Gown is more powerful than God. http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/overlordmaruyama/images/d/d3/Ainz_038.png

Do you practice/believe in a religion ? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I could be considered quasi religious in that I am Diest and a practitioner of benign occultism. Why do/don't you believe in any certain religion ? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ In some cases, its down to one's personal worldview, and in other cases, its due to fear at what's at stake. If its your soul, the average person with no spiritual experience isn't sure what's good for it, or what isn't, because lets face it, it doesn't exist in 3rd dimensional reality. So having someone who does have that knowledge, or at least claims to be able to tell them what's good for it sure takes the load off their consciousness. There is of course a romanticism in religion, be it christian, hindu, or whatever, in that life continues on after death. What do you think of other religions ? Do they got it wrong ? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Well, I have nothing against Satanists, but I find some of their beliefs to be a bit skewed. Granted, thats more a philosophy than an actual religion. Scientology is also more a money scam than a religion, so I have strong views against that. At the end of the day though, you can show me any religion, and I can pick out what I love, like, dislike, and strongly depose about it, but I have a personal hatred of ethnocentricity. Despite the fact that its human nature, and even I am not in some way poisoned by it. (Strangely enough though, I tend to have more rational discussions with agnostics and scientifically minded christians with some agnostic spiritual beliefs than I do atheists. Atheists more than hyper conservative religious people tend to hate talking about physics and quantum mechanics.) New-age beliefs also seem to rub be the wrong way, if only because a lot of it is really close to scientific and occult belief, but slightly skewed, and dogmatic by those who take it too seriously. What does your religion/not believing in any, mean to you ? Big part of your life or not and why/why not ? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I like to Preface my beliefs with "Of course, we could be wrong." That said, it has granted me a deeper understanding of nature, cause and effect, psychology, and the human condition than I ever had in my methodist family background. (And that's not knocking methodists, because most I know really are great people.) So its a big part of my life, sure, and I am a bit too deep in the rabbit hole to simplify my world view again, but its not something I feel anyone should take too seriously. Even with the best of beliefs and intentions, anyone can take something the wrong way and do harm.

Q: "Do you practise/believe in a religion ?" A: I am a Buddhist. Q: "Why do/don't you believe in any certain religion ?" A: Because it's the truth, except one flaw, which is that men, and women need to marry, and reproduce at all upper levels, or no one can reincarnate to higher levels. That is the missing, correct dharma that Maitreya will bring back. Q: "What do you think of other religions ? Do they got it wrong ?" A: Yes. And, no. There's multiple heavens, and multiple hells. They may, or may not be right about the ones they preach about existing, what they're like, and who goes there. Q: "What does your religion/not believing in any, mean to you ?" A: I'm not sure how to answer such a weird question. My beliefs are themselves what my beliefs mean. Q: "Big part of your life or not and why/why not ?" A: Yes. Because I want to move up from one life to another, not down.

Do you practise/believe in a religion ? - No I don't but I do "celebrate" Christmas and Hanukah but both in a non-religious way (so pretty much only having a tree and lighting a menorah) Why do/don't you believe in any certain religion ? - I'm atheist and I was raised that way, I really believe in more scientific based things rather than "one big man created the entire universe" What do you think of other religions ? Do they got it wrong ? - Well... Everyone has their own opinions I guess. It would definitely be hard for me to be in a relationship with a very religious person, let alone someone that believes in a god or gods. What does your religion/not believing in any, mean to you ? Big part of your life or not and why/why not ? - It doesn't really impact me at all. I don't ever have to think about it unless someone asks lol

Do you practice/believe in a religion? I was born and raised a Catholic, and am still one to this day. Why do you believe in any certain religion? There are so many other religions out there, but most of them all boil down to one point: Don't be an asshole. What do you think of other religions? For this, I must quote Jesus Christ himself; "Whoever is not against us is for us. -Luke 9:50" Do they got it wrong? Some do, while others have their own way of explaining it. The difference is whether you're being taught to hate one branch or love everyone around you. What does religion/not believing mean to you? Once again, most of them boil down to not being a jerk to everyone just because you can. Catholicism specifically emphasizes the importance of following the ten commandments and loving your neighbor as yourself. Big part of your life, why or why not? I was born and raised this way, so most of my ideals are based on this. But I don't hate others for not doing the same as me. I offer my point of view as an opinion that has an open door. With us, you have to be willing to join; nobody can force you. Otherwise I just say I don't condone any harmful habits they have (i.e. drugs, alcohol, etc.) This is my view.

I'm really not into religion never have been, to me you can believe anything you wish to believe I'm not gonna judge as long as your not pushing it on to others that being said I just feel religion complicates things but again I'm not gonna be in your face telling why it's "bad" quote on quote
