Thread: What Religon do you follow?

I doubt you'll find a correlation between anything. It's more the person's mind set, enthusiasm, patience, that sort of thing.

idk, im wiccan. i am not sure if it affects it at all, but i will let you know!

I don't think this is going to get any results if all you ask is religion. You should also ask each voter to describe their lucid experience, duration, method, etc. If all you do is host this poll, than you're going to get a bunch of numbers next to different religions with no significant whatsoever.

As stated though... this can't really go very far.

The poll probably doesnt mean anything, but im still curious non the less

eh. good luck

Maybe you could tell us why you think there might be a correlation?

yay 3 for other!!

My prediction: most of the users on here are either very Christian, or very atheist. A good deal are also Wiccan or Create-your-own/New Age.

I am athiest, which might affect luciddreaming in a bad way. Athiests are generally more skeptic, so we think too much about the techniques and such, I guess.
Maybe it doesn't affect it at all though :s

I'm a Buddhist.

I'm Roman Catholic (Christian).

Yes, as atheists are more skeptic. Christians are more precausious. Some might view it as work of the devil.

Wicca

Christian here.

I believe in God but I don't believe in religion.

Atheist, and I don't think it affects your ability to lucid dream at all. Sure, I'm skeptical, but that doesn't mean I'm not creative and motivated! Last time I checked, those were some of the base requirement for LDing.

Regardless of religion, I'm sure the ability to lucid dream depends entirely on the person.

I'm Agnostic/Atheist. I seriously doubt that this has anything to do with LDing, unless it's a very minimal difference that isn't noteworthy. Also, what would the results yield? Would it make you (or anybody) want to join a religion because of a higher lucid dreaming ratio? Hopefully not, as that would be even shallower than that which I will not speak of while not in R/S. Unless you are trying to find out the ratio of religions that practice LDing, your means of finding information is wrong. You would also need to know how many lucids they get, what methods, how long they've been practicing, whether they are naturals or not, if they practice diligently or occasionally, and so many more variables that just finding out how many people are of a certain religion on a single lucid dreaming forum is a very pointless poll.

I think that this will inevitably turn into a religious argument because one stupid person will pipe up on how their beliefs are right or comment on other's beliefs. This thread should be locked before then, as there was never any real point to making this. With the considerable amount of understatement of a complicated study, this will undoubtedly yield nothing of use, and could have been made just as a survey to see how many people followed each religion on here, or to catalyst a religious argument.

Maybe this will help us get lucid better by being skeptical.

Christian/Agnostic

There are to many christians and atheists here on DV. I always hoped DV was more diverse then this.....Oh well.

I am of no religion.

well im an Atheist and i plan on being one for awhile. lol its hard going to a christian school while being a atheist, if i say anything concerning the bible being false, everyone thinks im an idoit. christians are the narrow minded ones not the atheists, they disregard anything that goes agianst the religion. jesus could of easily paid someone to jump up for him = "my god your a complete moron, your going to hell" type of an thing. hell this should be in R/S section.

you bring up a good point. But remember relegion isn't supposed to make sense. thats why they call it "Faith". You have to have FAITH in your relegion its not like science were something has to be duplicable and quantifiable. Relegion is like the sand going through your fingers. You can't grasp it.

The problem lies with people who have faith trying to make their FAITH (RELEGION) logical. Its so absurd, you ca't make something like relgion logical and quantifiable like science .

Its absurd to see that there are people who are trying to put relegion on the same playing field as Science saying the great flood did happen and making up facts to support it and what not. Or trying to prove the noah's ark did happen. Its incredible what lengths they will go to.

Sorry for the rant.
