I believe that I am God.

Say it, "I am God."

Noah was a space man, the ark was full of DNA.

Xil · 03-24-2009, 05:53 PM

no religious beliefs. But beliefs in general...somewhat like what rev said.

stoneric · 03-24-2009, 05:56 PM

I don't have any. I was a catholic at one time so many happy years ago. After that experience I swore off religion completely and am now equally ignorant of all religous teachings.

Raised Catholic = Don't believe in God anymore, but still afraid of Him.

The Path I practice is Kindness, Love and Compassion. I don't claim to know, but have a feeling this isn't the last stop. Discussion is only words. Expressing how I feel isn't done justice by words alone.

I'd be not telling the whole truth if I didn't say Buddhism has had a profound effect on my means of practicing and considering my spiritual path. The forests and outdoors are my temple, I'd say I have some pagan tendencies, which blends with the Profound Connection I feel, which is express in the Upanishads and other Indian philosophy of non-attachment to the world and True Existence, which I live as I said through Love and Kindness for my Universal Family. Hurting/Helping one person can set off the chain of dominoes that can change lives for good or bad. It's not always apparent right away which is which, but I always act with my understanding of Ahimasa or harming none, as best I can.

"God" "Spirit" "Oneness" "Dharma" to me is like ice to the Inuit, it's everywhere and there are not words for it. To not have 'God' in the verb sense, that is Co/Creatation to me would be like a world up north without ice. It's just there, a non-issue as it were. Pin pointing it to me is fruitless vs acting on that 'Beingness' in the present moment.

The important part for me is the fact we are all banded together with the same elements of the interdependent web of existance that is the world we live. Eveything is relative to everything else. So it's just as full or empty as the thing next to it.

I'm not a fan of religion as a practice, although the social communities of it all are quite nice.

I do however appreciate many teachings involved in religion. One's in favour particularly; Taoism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Universalism, Neo-Paganism, Spiritualism, and Agnosticism

awwsuga23 · 03-24-2009, 06:57 PM

raised catholic. made my comunion but nothing else. never go into churches unless its for weddings and shit. i went to catholic school for a while and had a few altercations with a nun. im not too sure what is going to happen when i die or who or what created this lovely world and all its creatures. i dont care to think about it too much

badgoalie85 · 03-24-2009, 07:01 PM

(After alittle pm action from Sage)

oh for god's sake come on sage i'm doin it for the lulz.

THE LULZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

**SageTree** · 03-24-2009, 07:03 PM

There is no lolz in this forum!

Perhaps in here a philosophical pun will get more laughs, or atleast not look agressive to the thread starter.

The Rev · 03-24-2009, 07:28 PM

Lulz?

Life is a joke you are playing on yourself. Get it?

The Rev

**SageTree** · 03-24-2009, 07:31 PM

Those arethe heady lulz Rev

That's what I'm talking about!

420smokeman · 03-24-2009, 08:26 PM

Where expirence is absent, belife and faith take over. Faith and belifes form the "religion placebo" for the spiritual expirence. When there is no expience there is lacking, lacking creates curiosity about the missing expirence. curiosity gives birth to questions, questions raise assumptions.. assumptions tha best suite our needs and fears turn into our belifes. Belifes are stagnant and contrary to our spiritual evolution, and move us away from the expirence.
When you expirence you know, when you dont know you belive. Why is it you know you have 2 arms but when it comes to god or to love you belive in it
