August 16, 200817 yr #1: Were you raised to follow one particular religion? #2: Did that religion teach you that the only real religion in existance was, indeed, that religion, and anybody who didn't follow said religion's teachings was immoral? Going down a path of damnation? Just plain wrong? #3: Have you ever questioned your religion, or at least thought about ideas that other religions are based on and agreed with them? Nope.My dad's a free-thinker,and my mom's a buddhist,but nonetheless I went to a christian kindergarten.So there. There was no religion. Since I'm free thinking,nope. so i herd u liek devarts?If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".[hide=This's why I'm hot]The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".Amen, brother :lol:Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)amen Bruder! (german ftw)I'm invulnerable to everything, except Lenin and Dragoonson.That's impossible. I love people.[/hide]
August 16, 200817 yr I believe everyone, no matter who you are, can benefit from the teachings found in religion. Even with that do the benefits out way to negatives? (sorry to go a little offtopic here) I don't think so. (I'm mainly speaking from my knowledge of the bible) Even if you do not believe the religious side of it, that doesn't mean that everything found within shouldn't be noticed. I'll admit that if some of the teachings are interpreted a certain way they could lead to bad decisions, but overall the ideals and values found in many religious texts are good. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."
August 16, 200817 yr 1. I was raised a Roman Catholic. My parents are pretty strict Catholics. 2. They might've hinted that, yes. They were accepting of other religions, though. 3. Yes, and yes. Currently, I consider myself an Agnostic. I don't think I'll easily pick a path and stick with it. I don't think I can accept that. Anything can happen. No one is sure about anything. Religion gives people hope, and that's a nice thing to have when you go through life. I'm not sure it's for me, though. Hell, I'm not sure it's not for me, either. Basically, I don't know. I'm very unsure about life. I haven't abandoned the idea of God. I still go to Church every once in a while. I love Christmas Eve mass. I love the atmosphere, and something there reaches me. I am comforted. It makes my Christmas, I guess. I'd like to have an answer, but I'm not sure I can come up with one. Not yet, at least. I'm trying to get there, though.
