riyablossom: This idea cropped in to my mind while on Indy's thread. People, what do you believe or have faith in ? I know this sounds ambigious. But not everyone here is religious. So do you believe in God ? If yes, what do you believe about him and his teachings ? Do you follow any particular religion ? If yes/no why ? If atheist, what is your belief about the existence of a creator or an energy force ?If none of these , any personalised beliefs ?PS: This is NOT to debate or put anyone's faith down .
I’m so spiritually confused at this point in my life, you could probably tell me what I believe better than I could speak for myself.
I do believe there is a higher power, a “God” if you will. I do not believe he is compassionate. I do not believe he is caring. I do not believe he views us as his children. I do not believe he is just, or kind. I don’t necessarily believe he is evil, or malicious. Maybe just neutral. I think we’re more like ants in his ant farm. He just observes from afar. Or maybe doesn’t observe. He’s ambiguous, unpredictable, and disinterested.
I have difficulty believing in any of the doctrines and dogma of organized religion.
I believe Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Zoroaster, Confucius, Joseph Smith, and the rest of the gentlemen from the past were real people, but I do not believe any of them were prophets, or in any way more “connected” to God than any other man. Most of them spent a great deal of time in caves, or meditation, or in the company of the underprivileged, so it stands to reason they would be more enlightened individuals.
I think most of the basic values and principles of religion are noble goals, but I also think most of them are simply impossible.
I can’t say as I believe much in karma. If karma were true, then bad things wouldn’t continually happen to good people, and jerks get all the luck.
When we die, I have no clue what happens. There might be a heaven and hell, but that seems too black/white a concept considering people are so complex. I can see no justice in dichotomies. We might reincarnate. I guess this makes a bit more sense to me. I could go for a theory that says our energy is simply redistributed back out into the world. For all I know, death is just the end, and lying in the dirt or becoming ash is all there is, nothing more. The end.
The older I get, the more I tend to believe in science instead of religion.
Most religious people are hypocrites.
I guess overall, I’d be an apathetic agnostic. I believe there’s “something”, but no way to prove it, and don’t really care anymore because “it” doesn’t care either.

better off praying to your fellow man (at least those you feel close to and maybe others) because you're apt to get some answers from them.
