What about your faith makes you happy?

Answer 1

what makes me happy is knowing that there is more to life than what meets the eye.

Answer 2

What I like best about being an Ásatrúar? That we are polytheistic. That is, we believe in a number of deities, including Goddesses as well as Gods. That we do not accept the idea of "original sin", the notion that we are tainted from birth and intrinsically bad, as does Christianity. Thus, we do not need "saving".

Because it gives me a fulfillment in life that no other religion ever could do. Being connected to the Gods who are as close to you as bloodkin, following a Lore that teaches you to be strong and independent, honoring your ancestors and the heroes of before, that is Asatru for me.

It gives me strength in daily life, it gives me hope that there are actually Gods that care, and that stand with you if times are hard.
Asatru is the only religion that doesn't clash with the modern day scientific view on the world, it views the world as it is, a natural place, with many Gods.

I like being Asatru because it rewards people who are academically-inclined. Really and pervasively, not just in theory.


I like being Asatru because its ethos match mine. I can be a reasonably good example of an Asatruer; I would never be anything but a marginal, footnoted, trouble making member of any other religion. I like hanging around with people who think that an oath is an oath, for example.

I like being Asatru because it validates my inclination to bonk irritating people on the head with a Big (Rhetorical) Hammer. I am blunt; in Asatru, blunt is a good thing. "Frith" and "cooperation" are much more resonant values for me than "niceness" or "harmony".

I like Asatru because it is not a One Way kind of religion. I can disagree strongly with other Asatruars about all sorts of things and we can still be in the same religion together just fine. And I don't have to worry about sorting out all the people outside of Asatru, either.

Answer 3

Knowing who God is actually. SO many other religions only know the son or, but Krishna Consciousness tells who God is, what He likes to eat, what he wears, what He looks like. Even Jesus is in the flesh. His body is not eternal. But Krishna's body is. Want to see some pictures go to harekrishnatemple.c Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhpada.- Also I love making Him food preparations and clothing and flower garlands. That is the special gift of Devotional service of the Lord Krishna. It's real and authentic. Over 5,000 years old.on this earth and eternal actually.

Answer 4

That this life is not all there is, that my citizenship is in heaven, a place where all I have ever dreamed for will come true. Perfect mercy, justice, love, integrity, purity, the world as it should be and will be forever,when Jesus rules and reigns. That puts this present world in a much different perspective.

Answer 5

I have no faith. That makes me happy.

Answer 6

Man, I just feel connected to the world. I make friends with animals easily. I experience a lot of happiness. I feel safe.

Answer 7

Telling people of other faiths that their faith is worthless and that God ignores their prayers and that they're going to hell.

Answer 8

Even when I am having a no-good, rotten, boring, or terrible day, I can still remember Jesus Christ had it worse, plus the Second Coming isn't as far away as it used to be.
