I believe in the great god Mutahar, and try to follow his ways everyday, no matter what, and try to replicate the great god Mutahar's mutaharian mannerisms.

The best religion.
For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

I'd still call myself Christian, but I'm pretty much a non-Practicing and non-affiliated with it. I usually go to Church one or twice every two months.

OP's beliefs: Christianity (Roman Catholic)


Pantheistic Agnostic I suppose you could say. I don't really ascribe to a particular religion, but I believe that whatever a "God" may be isn't inherently separate from the definitions of what the Universe is, and that whether or not that is the case can't be really known or unknown.

I've heard from some of my Thai friends that their parents get somewhat pissed at college kids converting to "secular Buddhism" and not respecting the rules. I think that's pretty justified. Kudos for upholding tradition to whatever extent.

What rules? What dogma? Rules need to be tested and verified, don't believe anything just because some so-called holy man says it so.

Besides, secular Buddhism simply takes a more utilitarian and modern approach to Buddhism. It's Buddhism sans the spirituality and the contradictions imposed by failed interpretations.

None. I fancy myself a naturalist. I completely reject belief in any supernatural phenomenon.

I'm also actively opposed to religion, as I am opposed to all dogmas and ideological systems.

Your face when Mahayana Buddhism puts a tad too much emphasis on divinity and belief, is that what you're saying? Friggin' slang. I get lost.

I was raised Southern Baptist. Still am one, but I have been heavily influenced by the Mennonites. The only thing that stops me from switching is their stance on pacifism.
