Everything is just a subset or colorful twist within Shinto one could say. Thanks to people are off-topically wishing me well on my recent birthday... can't say I'm "in my 40s" anymore. Apologies for the spaghetti remark - creating one's own religion just kind of spawned the reference. The geneticist Richard Dawkins discusses the subject quite seriously in part of his book: The God Delusion. I found the book an interesting read, whatever one thinks of the subject.

Religion, a label, a name to be put on others. A creed a sect , truth to be imposed onto others. How can you have organized truth ? Truth is free, limitless, free an energy. You have to act this way or be a certain how....Freedom, just be happy. All this non sense and fighting ? What is all the point of it ? Words of transaction and behaviour. Can't you people just sigh ? Free your mind from thoughts. When you just feel it is so much easier than what I see or hear about religion. Right now..in your dreams how does it feel. Your are free from your conscious self. Upon waking up do you awake with thoughts ? Without thoughts how does it feel ? Do we sense religion and the things it has ?

I just noticed how thier is such a high majority of atheists here...no disrespect intended but has people these days just became so lazy they cant be bothered with religion?
I also (seam) to be the only baptist here not that my religion is much different from Christianity, just a few fine print differences really. |

Lazy ? With all do respect, i would like you to refrain from comments implying that people who happen to distance themselves from religion are worse in some way for some bizarre reason. I fail to see what laziness has to do with ones set of beliefs in the first place.

Man I knew it would be taken that way. I am in no way saying my religion is better. what I am asking is what you guys think is the reason more peoples religions dont include going to curch. If you read my earlyer post I dont go to church eaither so I was including myself in the lazy people. if I was trying to be all high and mighty I wouldent have said "no disrespect" because I knew most of you would think I was preaching....thats why religion isent a good conversation peace. |

Atheist, since I don't believe in the humbug religions try to push on other people. I have also seen how bad it gets when a lot of people turn a blind eye on reason and go on only with what the holy book of their religion says.
Just think about all those anti-abortion, euthanasia, science, and liberty issues countries like Italy have. On the other hand, those people that keep it solely inside the churches are okay. |
