Why are you your Religion?

[Czechanada]

Through my random philsophical musings in front of my back window, I realized that the nature of religion is actually bad for morality, thus strengthening my resolve to be irreligious.

[New Jakar]

Or if you are irreligious, why are you your secular worldview?

Don't really think a belief in God has more basis than a belief in unicorns. Religions themselves are a product of a society and naturally reflect that society's moral values. You can believe in whatever you want, but I'm against imposing your dogma on others.

[Minenotyours]

Don't really believe in a god, but strongly believe in taoism, It seems to acuratly depict how life functions without telling you to do certain things. I'm not really to religious.

I see that you are a fan of Emile Durkheim.

[The Realm of God]

I am Christian because it is the only religion that makes logical sense, and it provides an accurate depiction of the world.

Dear NSG this is an example how religious debates in NS starts.

A: This is dumb/only makes sense/is the best/is the worst
B: Prove it/*insult*
A: *starts tellling lies*
B: call him racist/tells lies too
C, D, E, F, G joins
=total war!!!

A tries to prove X
B tries to disprove X.
X equals i (it's not knowable).
Resulting massive logic war, between two different epistemological styles that are incomparable.

That's what I make of it.


Oh....OP

I'm Orthodox because I like the beauty in the theology and it's long unbroken history, with spiritual benefit and the sense of a very distinct community. Orthodoxy also fits nicely into the philosophical gumbo I call my personal world view, it also has a fairly benign history.

I'm not my religion~

[Big Jim P]

I'm not my religion~

I am. That happens when you worship yourself.

Lucky boy.

Lucky boy.

Indeed I am.

Barring the Byzantine Empire, of course.

[Calimera II]

I will respond to the question: why are you your religion?
Well, I am the personification of my religion.

Thats it,

[Lost Earth]

Well, I am the personification of my religion.

Thats it,

Indeed, I am my religion because I am likely the only being in existence who believes exactly the way I believe and views the world's existence exactly the way I do. I mean, clearly the way I see things is the most logical way for me to see things.

In regards to a more fitting understanding of the OP, I believe the way I do because of my experiences in the world. I am a Christian and I believe that not only is my understanding of Christianity the most logical belief system but it is also the one with the most purpose and joy for my life.

And in the 5th through 12th-century Mediterranean the alternatives were better how, precisely?

I await enlightenment.

[Howdoyoudoland]

*shrug* God's been good to me.

Well, the Slavic pagans of the north were rather benign as well.

_{Alright, I get it; I see how it feels.}

[Czechanada]

*shrug* God's been good to me.

Which god, if I may ask?

[Tlaceceyaya]

*shrug* God's been good to me.

Which god, if I may ask?

Thor. Seen any ice giants?

[Czechanada]

Which god, if I may ask?

Thor. Seen any ice giants?

No. Just some fire giants.

If Thor promised to get rid of all the ice giants, and Drizz't Do'Urden actually did get rid of all them, does that mean Drizz't is God?

The Manichaens (spelling?) weren't to bad, and most of the gnostic sects were pretty docile. The fratecelli were pacifists, although slightly later. Ultimately the docile religions didn't last very long though, as they were quickly wiped out.

Sure. As good as any other god.

Atheist.

[Beta Test]

Im Agnostic. Most of the major religions are greatly flawed in their teachings.

[YellowApple]

Atheist.

I think the question was "Why?".
