I follow Theravada Buddhism... Suffice to say 'God' exists in your heart, your religion is the way you live, and your thoughts, deeds, words and actions shape your destiny through life. The difference between Man and 'God' is that Man aspires towards love but thinks in terms of conflict.

I'd put myself down as an agnostic. I don't mind other people's beliefs in the slightest, so long as they don't tell me how to live my life. For this reason I've never been hugely keen on the majority of politicians either. Wow ... politics and religion in the same thread ... that'll cause some sort of singularity.

I'm a Reconstructionist Jew. It isn't about faith or belief, it's about how you act. Belief is not required as much as proper action. Sort of makes me sound like a Boy Scout, doesn't it?

slaveboyforyou -> RE: Religious beliefs of Collarme members? (7/22/2008 10:44:33 AM)
I consider myself a Deist, so I define my beliefs through logic and reasoning. I believe in a Creator, because I do not accept that the universe is an accident. However, I don't automatically criticize others for having faith in something I don't share. I'll be politically incorrect and say that Wiccans, neopagans, and various other New Age religious people annoy me more than Christians. One of my number one pet peeves is pretentiousness. If you want to hear pretentiousness at it's finest, listen to a Wiccan drone on and on about the "Burning times." Of course they will get extremely offended when you point out the numerous errors in their history.

That's why I'm a Solitary practioner, Slaveboy LOL. Try dealing with strict Coveners as a Solitary - it's even worse than what you mentioned about being a non pagan and listening to someone Drone. I don't get the whole "group" mentality of religion, regardless of Which religion the "group" happens to profess.

I believe in GOD, The Supreme Being! Don't get me started on "Religion", I'm a "recovering Catholic!" Cut out the Middleman.

My beliefs aren't necessarily religious.

purepleasure -> RE: Religious beliefs of Collarme members? (7/22/2008 11:38:39 AM)
my beliefs are simple be a blessing to others when you can be grateful for your blessings. try to do no harm. treat others as you wish to be treated. be the first to apologize when an apology is needed live to have no regrets remember the 3 R's - respect for self, respect for others, take Resposibility for your actions.

I am a very nontraditional Christian. My Owner is Church of Christ, formerly a conservative Jew. Her other pet, Angel, is an extremely devout member of Church of Christ. I believe in God and in he divinity of Jesus. Perhaps nontraditionally, I also believe that there is no -eternal- Hell and that God will eventually lead all of us unto salvation. I also don't think he hates people simply because they believe in a different interpretation of him. DV's Fox

thishereboi -> RE: Religious beliefs of Collarme members? (7/22/2008 11:57:18 AM)
Wow, I have read your post twice now and I still can't figure out who you are trying to insult. You cover such a large area with your anger that it is really hard to tell. For example "'Some German gay guy in a Roman palace said priests can rape kids and women are inferior" Are ya going after catholics, gays or germans here? And this one "The higher the IQ, the less likely a person is to be religious, but a couple of my best pups have been religious, perhaps in keeping with serving a higher power ;-)" So does that mean everyone who is religious has a lower IQ than you, because you don't believe in gods? Sounds kinda arrogant to me, but what ever. I can understand enough of the post to realize, I probibly will skip past yours in the future, thanks for that.

My religous beliefs are just that, mine , I don't feel they have any value for you so why share them

Jeepers creepers,<---we'll chase you down with the intent of converting you, promising you can find heaven through groping. Seriously, i am not particularly religious. i don't care much who built the church, but God makes the sun shine. As for who God is? sometimes you go away but i am always here.

quote: God is like a big elephant. One religion is so close to God all it can see is its floppy ear, another religion sees the trunk, and yet another its massive leg, etc.... each one will describe God either like an elephant's ear, trunk, leg, etc. Step back and simply experience God and you will see the whole elephant. quote: It isn't about faith or belief, it's about how you act.

Oh, crap. Looks like slaveboy4U and I finally are in agreement on something.... (Give me a sec... ) I got it! I'm...er...uh... pastafarian! Yeah, that's it! That's the ticket! (Google "Flying Spahgetti Monster")
