I believe anything is possible. |

I was just wondering what kind of religion you people you belief,or at least which one is comes closest,as I think we all have our ideas..for example I consider myself closest to Buddhism..but with alot of my own ideas..for example I believe in reincarnation..but this proces doesnt go on forever,when a soul is born from the cosmos(god,everything, whatever you wish to call it) they first exist as a universal substance such as water or air, or earth(sand/soil) ,eventually they have enough experience to try a more complicated life form, like a leaf from a tree, which then becomes a small plant,then a tree going trough several flora forms until the soul is strong enough to finnaly take an animal form..after going trough several animal forms a soul can finnaly become human. |

I try not to take the existence of anything that can't be proven for granted. I was raised Christian but I guess it didn't really take. |

Ok... heres the deal. |

I am no person that says my god is better then yours as i belief everybody should belief what he wants,because look at what kinda situations that kinda attitude creates,almost all wars are about religion, whatever you believe what kind of god makes you go to war and slaughter innocent people.. |

I dont think it's possible to say one god is better, we all have the same god no matter what you may call it.....I do agree with the past posts 100% I was brought up christian(like 99% of america) but I think my parents never even bought into it, it was just the right thing to do to send me to religion classes and be baptised ect....I agree that it feels right that life or lives would be a process of learning, and maybe we work our way up to different lifeforms many universes away from earth...I've always thought of it this way god is part of us all, we are all pieces of one whole, so god is perfecting itself through us. |

Well if your me, it's really an irrelevent thing to argue about because I believe all gods/goddesses are the same, just as we are all part of God and God is in everything. Gods/goddesses are all just a different face of the same infinite being that we are all a part of. I'm a pantheist, but I generally refer to my belief in everything being a part of the infinite as being part of God because it's just a lot better communicated that way, I've come to learn. That is the foundation of my system of beliefs, another way to put it would be the holographic universe theory. To make a hologram one must use two lasers to etch an image into a glass/crystal/whatever. Now, when you shine one laser at the image etched in the object it will recreate the hologram. Now, the interesting part. If you cut a small piece of the glass/crystal off, and then shine a laser through, it will still recreate the whole hologram, ie, the information for the whole image is stored in ever single piece of a hologram. Now, compare that to the universe, life, DNA, and all that. I believe that every single piece of this universe is a piece of the infinite, or God, and therefore has all the information pertaining to the rest of the universe. We just have not learned to interpret everything we see/feel/know. Just a couple ways of interpreting it. Although, I think religion has become sort of impertinent in the coming days of the Fall, simply because we need action and action on a scale never before heard of and we need to dissolve all our hatreds and fears and prejudices to come together and fight for the same ideal, FREEDOM. I'll have to explain an interesting experiment at some point... but I don't have time now. |

The existance of god and the afterlife has been a troublesome point for me. I am an engineer and therefore know quite a bit about science. |

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.

Why should it be deleted, its an interesting thing to talk about and I think religion and lucid dreams can blend pretty well.. |

Paperdoll: There won't be getting out of hand in this, Seri already said that. If you would like to express your views, I don't believe anyone here will have any problem with that. Just thought I would say so, since I was mainly the one whom instigated trouble in this sort of discussion last time(sort of). Any ways... feel free to say what you wish, Seri already pointed out there will be no arguments or flame wars in this thread, or it will get shut down. Though... your beliefs and opinions are your own, so if you feel they should be kept to pms, then I think we will all respect that decision. |

Paperdoll, if I somehow offended you in anyway then please say so,I dont mean to offend anybody im just stating my opinion,and its obvious you dont agree,so why dont you just tell me why im completely wrong here,thats why the topic is here,i wanna hear about others people opinions,im an open mind and respect all religions and beliefs but that doesnt mean I agree with them,it would be boring if we'd all agree,but if you dont wanna share thats no problem,then lets leave it at this then.. |

The one thing that has bothered by about this thread was intolerance. |
