Here u have multiple human beings, with basically the only difference being religion.

It sometimes get to fisticuffs to still not being convinced either way.

How do u look at it ?

I tend to allow other people to believe whatever they want.
What gets me tho, is that other people tend to not allow me the same.

I don't follow any given religion, I follow my own beliefs...a religion of ONE.
I am spiritual but also a realist.

I use my spirituality as a filler until the reality can be proven, then I accept the reality.

The Universe is alive, thinking, knowing and dreaming because I am alive, thinking, knowing and dreaming.
I exist within the Universe, not as a separate entity.

Saorstat: Never understood how anyone thought this worth killing for..
.... Watched mates die (and indeed kill) for this??????


Religion r very important to most people. It is what most depend on totally.

If something goes wrong they ask their god to help them.

We all need someone or something to lean on.

I believe in nothing known as spiritual or religion.

I created my own set of beliefs, do's and don'ts, per my standards.

No-one has ever reached them, which I guess is why I'm single for about 25 years.

I accept what I know is true, but will listen to other views as well, deciding what's viable or not.

I grew up as a Christian, dropped it, tried Buddhism, and again a no-no.

I have a very open mind, that collects impressions likes a sponge.

Ask if u need more info ?

Aragorn11: I think human beings have a lot more differences than religion, thank god

Religion is man made and as such its open to the traits of humans.
Some have used religion for power and greed and while millions have died down the generations in ''my god is better than your god'' wars, I see it more about power, greed and ego and it has been seriously abused.

Just my take


Have u ever been part of any religion or spiritual undertaking ?

Aragorn11: I was raised as a Catholic, but only because my parents were Catholics.

Aragorn11: Vinny

I suppose I would identify as an Atheist.

Although I always liked the Brendan Behan quote

''I'm a daylight atheist''

Because I think its relevant to lots and funny.


There r lots of atheists in this world fighting to.stay angry at the world in general.

At least I have peace.

Religious people believe that God is real, based on faith that he exists, and can't prove it.


"Non-religious people" are the ones who have faith that science doesn't support the existence of God, but can't prove he doesn't exist.

I understand that it's my business that I choose to be an Atheist.

Religious people are the ones who choose to cast the first stone!~

For such a big Christian as urself, what happened to:-

Live and let live
Don't look down on others
Don't criticize others

Always be an example to others

Don' break people down

Yes I Used to be a Christian, that believed people to do this, but have never found one, that adheres to what the Bible demands.

You, are the same !

As u have proven on my Threads !!!

mykingdomforanam: I only pointed out that people who claim they're not religious, and claim that their beliefs are based on science, can't use science to prove God doesn't exist; and their beliefs are only based on faith, making them EQUAL with people who believe that God exists.




You're the one criticizing me, looking down on me, and trying to break me down...

For pointing out that our beliefs are EQUALLY faith based...

Without attempting to post one word, that would prove I was wrong.


I then presume u cannot remember anything that u wrote on my other Threads ?

I am non-religious, meaning I am not in any way religious at all,
Meaning I believe in nothing spiritual at all,
Even science have too many unproven ideas they propose,
That u have to believe on No faith.

Not everyone can be put in a cubicle and labeled,
I definitely can't !
