Question

Do you have a religion that you follow? Wheter it be Hindu, pagan, Christanity, etc, etc. You get the idea. If you have one, why do you follow and vice versu for those who aren't relgioius.

Answer 1

No. I don't believe in religion, there are too many versions and they all contradict each other. I am an Atheist.

Answer 2

I am not religious and am not part of a religion. I feel religion is the cause of most problems in this world. I believe in God I believe Jesus was real, I don't know if he was the messiah but I don't care if he was or not I still think God is the highest power and I talk to him daily. He has done many wonderful things for me and some which weren't great but he didn't make them as bad as they could have been or at least he made them better for me. I think I am a spiritual person which is different then religious to me.

Answer 3

Yes.

I hate christ based religion though.

What god of love; who has all the power in the universe, would cause people to suffer to prove themselves, if the concept is that everyone is equal?
It's a backwards faith, based on control. Take the Spanish Inquisition for example, or the use of Christianity to assume political power.

Sadly most people are born into it by family tradition, and don't have much thought on it because they're brain washed from birth to take in their parents religion, and not actually look for one that fits them or do "real" research to see if their religion is even true.

Half of everything preached by christ was stolen from other religions. I.E the word, and place hell the concept of heaven etc.

I'm not going to go too deep on the subject; but do your research, and you'll see.

They're are allot of religions out there; search and you'll find one that suites you.

Sad fact is most people are very uneducated when it comes to religion, and history; glad to see you're interested in the topic though.

Now watch the self richeous, show there absence of self thought by throwing insults; at my opinion.

Good luck on whatever you choose; or beater yet, good luck on the search for knowledge.

Wicca all the way!

Answer 4

I'm a pagan. Specifically, a Discordian Feri witch. I follow my religion in part because it's what makes the most sense to me, and in part because I've had certiain personal spiritual experiences that tie me to this path--they may not make much sense if I explain them to other people, but they're important to me.

I like the freedom involved, the focus on individual discovery of one's place in the universe, and the focus on the erotic and the weird as sources of personal power. I am always a bit confused by people who claim a religion, but don't understand its principles or ethics, who need an interpreter to explain to them how to apply their religion to their lives.

Feri witchcraft is big on individualism; Discordianism more so. I like that it is my own responsibility to sort out how to relate to the Gods.

Answer 5

No, I am not religious, but was very nearly converted to Christianity by one of my friends. I decided to give this up because I found it hard to believe in god and go to church, as my parents have never been religious and it just seems like a big lie.

Answer 6

Yes, I am a Christian(of the protestant variety). I follow because I believe there is a God and he sent his son Jesus to pay for the sins of mankind.
