Why are you your Religion?

[Valentir]

I was born catholic and I'm now a, I don't really know what to call it. I believe that every religion is true. Christianity, Islam, and all the others are true. And that they are different ways of worshiping the same deity. And I despise those who bash religion. No you won't burn in hell but you really need to back off. And for Religious People let them be. Karma gets everyone.

So they too don't use reason and logic? After all it was stated on this thread that if you're not using the scientific method then your not using reason and logic.

If you aren't using something related to the scietific method, then you aren't properly using deductive reasoning and logic.

So only the physical sciences use reason and logic and everything else is not?

So... you think we should have human sacrifices to Armok the Blood God?

Ok I mean every modern Religion, not Roman, Greek, Norse, Egyptian mythologies.

Notice the words 'related' and 'deductive'. Only the physical science are able to properly use the scientific method because their subject are not generally human in nature. It's also because it focuses on the 'what' and tends to regard the 'why' as irrelevent, unlike the social sciences, which are a mixture of ideals, science and philosophy. Physical science answers very specific questions. Social science trys to find what exactly the question is we are supposed to be asking.

[The USOT]

Eh?

According to one passage, Jesus states that he has come to affirm the old laws, not destroy them. At least, as far as I can recall.

And the whole salvation + sacrafice thing makes no sense without the OT.

It actually makes no sense with the OT from my perspective.

The entire thing makes no sense outside of the realm of the fictional universe in which the Bible operates.

I was stating specifically with the OT.

Fine then.
No objection.

But of course if you think none of them make sense.

Allow me to clarify, they make sense within their historical contexts, and they (for the most part) make sense within the narrative they have constructed. However, as an objective look at the functioning of reality and the philosophical quandries of humanities plight to find meaning in the meaningless, they fall far short sensical and rational given what we now understand and can perceive about the universe.

As an ex-Catholic, I was under the impression that one was baptised into Catholicism. Or am I incorrect?

I'm an agnostic atheist, though I do like some philosophy from Buddhism and Taoism.

Babies aren't born with a religion.

You can be born to very Catholic parents who raise you in a very Catholic way, but religion is an aquired trait for humans, not something they are born with.

Hence if you were born to Hindu parents you'd probably become a Hindu until such a time you might decide to reject it, if you were born to Muslim parents you'd probably become a Muslim until such a time you might decide to reject it. The likelihood of you rejecting or converting to another faith would be strongly influenced by the way you parents raised you and the culture you lived in.

Plus then there are rituals that often factor into whether one is officially "X" - baptisms, circumcisions, coming of age ceremonies etc No one is born baptized.

Again... my main objective is to further prove the invention and creation of a mostly narrative book to fit a historical religious text.... proving that historical/religious text and the Deity behind is just a side thing

No I was born with No religion, I wasn't born not believing in God and To some one who asked I was baptized a Catholic that's what I mean't. So I guess I was born with no religion, I wasn't born an Atheist as Atheism is a aquried trait as well. Its something people end up choosing to believe.
