I have no religion, mainly because most of what I do is collect material of many different religion and Mythology for personal interest and reference, such as Norse, Greek, Satanism etc.
My prized possession (in terms of religion material) is the Satanic Bible, which is friggin expensive and damn hard to get because it's banned in my Country. >_> (And it had left me broke for a week. ) Lastest religion I'm currently looking into. Kamen Riderism (LOL) Last edited by Flo; 2008-06-25 at 04:19. |

interesting that you mentioned satanism, been interested in that. especially the evangelist interpretation of Satan. that he is fact a force of chaotic good, punishing and hunting the evil with his minions of demons and reapers.

Straying away from the typical one answer, linear bravado of some of the previous posters, I personally believe religion is an extension of the human psyche to eliminate the fear that the mind will eventually die and cease to exist and that an eternal afterlife is what's waiting for the mind after it's "death." It's also a means for the mind to explain all the things science has yet to figure out.
Really, religion is everything the mind needs to create a fabricated sanctuary for itself while living in complete denial. That' being said, I'm not an atheist per say. I'm more of a realist. |

That's the agnostic way of telling the atheists: "get off your high horses"
<--- atheist. however I learned the hard way back in the 2003 how taxing Internet religion discussions can be. /me shudders from the memories

For all it's flaws and incompleteness, some folks strongly believe that all things could be explained by it. Dont get me wrong though, i m not against scientific thinking. But i believe that science is not the concrete truth. More of a tool to calculate the most probable cause/consequence. Like most tools, it breaks down sometimes and requires updates from time to time.

I'm not sure what I believe but I've been agnostic for awhile. I've tried out many, many religions but none seemed right.
And it could be I'm just too lazy to devote myself to something that should take up 50% of my thoughts. I have enough trouble just getting out of bed. |

Captain Falcon's religion is Captain Falcon.
When Captain Falcon said to God: "Show me ya Moves!!" God created the Great Flood. Captain Falcon Falcon Punches God, God now lives in a shack in Guam. The true religion is yourself. You are nothing when you don't believe or follow yourself. Like Captain Falcon believes and follows Captain Falcon. You should believe and follow yourself. |

Any brits involved in this thread may wanna check this out now (think you can watch online too)
The Qur'an on C4 @ 8pm It basically is a documentary on how Muslims follow their faith around the world, the difference and variety is amazing. (Some countries women have more religious stance than the men O.o) The messages and study of their text certainly dispells a hell of a lot of myth portrayed by the media (and muslim extremists) ever since 9/11 - I particulary aim this at any Christians or Jews in here, just to have a wee think on the basis of our own religion and how Muslims percieve Jesus and Moses in their text, you'll probably find it a pleasant surprise As for athiests well... if you're at least curious for acquiring the knowledge even if you don't believe, feel free to check this program out too ^^ Religion aside, it's always fascinating to step out of our comfort zones and the world we know and live in to get a glance into how other humans thousands of miles away live their lives. In this case it includes how humans with deep, unwavered faith use it to strengthen their spirits and lives. Sometimes, it's a refreshing change to observe something different the the dull and monotone of our own daily lives

Christian here, Just simply said I enjoy life and there are many people in my community and church that I know that are always there for me like a 2nd family. I will raise my children christain faith and enjoy the peace, There is no need to think of religon as a job to do as long as you have people that love you and you stay strong in what you belive in you should never have any worries in your life. I have nothing aganist anyone else religon or if they just dont have one. Unless your killing in the name of your lord, thats just messed up, give peace a chance, if god told me to kill then i would just think I am haveing some mental problems and I might need to see a doctor.

Either that or hubris/insanity --- it can as easily lead to violent nihilism as to beatific benevolence since it is all about the self rather than the connections one has with others.
