nephili Posted August 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) If you had to call it a specific religious belief or blend of religious beliefs, what religion are you? Edited August 1, 2017 by nephili 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Walker Posted August 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Well, when i do one of those surveys on line, to tell me. It comes out in largest part; buddhist/ jainist and significant parts pagan and seventh day adventist, with a number of other minor notes. Which actually rings true for me, when i think about it, because that reflects how i live. I don't have a religion, don't follow any theology as a faith or belief base, don't go to church etc. However, have a personal connection to god and live in harmony with it, with self, and with nature. I do chose much of the bible teachings to live by because of the relevance and resonance of christianity, as the institution of Australian society. It is hard to live like a buddhist by your self in a community of several thousand, all the rest of whom are christian (great majority) or atheist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Imaginarynumber1 Posted August 1, 2017 Popular Post #5 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) I was once a Last Thursdayist. Then I was a pastafarian before becoming an ordained minister by the universal life church. Once I accidently started a Tibetan death cult. I tried being a discordian for a while, but it wasn't very serious. Then I realized that I was just an atheist the entire time. I'm much more apathetic about it these days, though, so I'm really an apatheiest because, and I cannot stress this enough because I know that some will try to argue, I simply do not care about religion at all. Either some of the above, none of the above, or all the above may be true. Edited August 1, 2017 by Imaginarynumber1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast Posted August 1, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I dont believe in any religion and I dont believe in any kind of a god. Because there is no reason for and there is not even a tiny hint that would allow to speculate about the existence of a god and its agenda. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What beliefs do you have that separates you from the different belief systems?

RavenHawk Posted August 1, 2017 #18 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) My basic definition is Christian, Protestant. I grew up in Church of Christ and Baptist churches. But I'm more heretic. Some cross between Deist and Gnostic but not so much. I believe that GOD is GOD and Jesus is divine. I believe in Homoousion. That’s not Polytheism. Think of it as different shadows of GOD that we perceive. (see below) I’m open to the idea that Jesus has appeared in other forms in our past, but none but the last one took. That Mary Magdalene is Jesus’ wife and they had children. That Judas was Jesus’ Armor Bearer which means that he was not the traitor. I don’t see homosexuality as sin as Jesus lifted that burden. To be fruitful and multiply was one of the first commandments and that dealt with assuring propagation. I think we’ve accomplished this task for now. And many other thoughts but I don’t see how any of those diminish the authority of Christ. Cube = Yahweh Square = GOD (perceived) Rectangle = Jesus Hexagon = Holy Spirit Edited August 1, 2017 by RavenHawk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that Christianity is not " The institution of Australian society. " More loaded and incorrect info about Australia, slipped into a post, to try and justify some loaded agenda ... again ! Walker talking about his little backward country area he lives in , as if it represents 'Australia' and its other areas where there are actually lots of Buddhists and multi-culturalism . eg; People who are affiliated with Buddhism as a percentage of the total population in Sydney divided geographically by postal area, as of the 2011 census Nor are the 'great majority' of Australians Christians ; In the 2016 Census, 52.1% of Australians were listed as Christian. Australia has no official state religion and the Australian Constitution protects freedom of religion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_Australia and Christianity is not the 'institution of Australian society' ( whatever that was supposed to mean ! ) Edited August 1, 2017 by back to earth 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
