Thread: What religion / philosophy do you follow?

Atheist.

My parents are completely secular, so as I grew up religion was just this strange thing that other people did. It was pretty inevitable that I'd end up on the disbelief side of the spectrum.

Catholic, although I like learning about mythology and the paths that ppl follow

Zen Gardener. No, not a branch of Buhdism, just a title I made up for when people ask this question.

Im not saying all christians do, just such a large amount of them have.

Simply because Christians are ignorant fools who have to make everyone believe what they do. They try to fit everything into a box. And, i guess the first step to having everything in the box is to have a god :p.

I follow no religion. I do believe in some prtions of the paranormal, and witchcraft.

Agnostic

Atheist for sure, but buddhism interests me.

Currently I've gor my own piece of spiritualism cooked up where I've stripped all the world's religions to find out what is universally believed and why its believed, including doing research to find out which symbols are worshipped due to ignorance of the natural world. Basically I believe in core truth foremostly, not shackled by worship, ritualis or ill-cast faith in meaningless symbols. From there I painted up my own rituals of snowboarding, surfing, longboarding, smoking lot's of weed, living with few possessions and committing oneself to a form of art as my own rituals. I believe that the practice of meditation and mindfulness are also very necessary, so one can't just long board and like to draw and be in kind. The sport serves the purpose of developing mindfulness which allows one the ability to natural see the right path in life, so that takes car of ethics. From there, meditation is also necessary to ensure the brain and spirit are rejuvinated and because it is the guide to finding freedom. Lastly, the artwork can be anything, just as long as one see's what they do in life not as a job, but as artwork.

Christian, but I fill in the gaps
I believe the afterlife is whatever you and your religion believe it is, and your acceptance into it (or rising up the social ladder in hinduism) is based on whatever values you believed you were supposed to follow if life

Hello not all christians are ignorant fools and I don't have to make everyone believe as I do. You go ahead and belive what you want to belive. I would enjoy it if you would see the truth and embrace god, making yourself whole but if you want to be an atheist be one, just please don't say that ALL christians are ignorant fools. Ask Gnome54, some of us ARE open minded. No rudeness intended.

If you know christians that go out and insult Atheists, that call them names, that speak rudely to atheists and tell them they are going to hell WITHOUT giving them the chance to turn to god then you DON'T know christians, you know christians that are sinful and need to repent, you know christians that don't know god.

sure, I'm into nihilism...but only as a means to an end. and the future is an adventure

Epistemological solipsist. I exist, but anything else is fair game.

I follow "Who gives a living shit if there's a God. I'll see when I die." I've been liking it so far.
I don't follow any philosophy either. Free bird!

Edit
Free Bird reminds me, I might follow Rockism.

Atheist.

PS: I'm going to get active in RS so... you know, watch out or something. Maybe, I dunno...

Then explain Evangelism, and hard-headedness, and a tendensey to avoid questions.

BTW, i meant on this site. So far, not one of them can answer my questions directly. Not one.

Ah, the 'No true Scotsman' fallacy. I know and have spoken to many Christians who behave deplorably in debate. I fancy that if you were to test them on their faith, they'd be pretty solid.
