Define Ur Religion or Theology

My defined worldview is that I will never define it. It is always an open book.

or maybe... Psychedelic symbolism? Anarchic Conservatism? Regressive progressivism? Technological animism? Quantum capitalism? Individualist collectivism? Hateful love?
 
^^^ I believe I can define my future and save the world.

"Hateful love"?

Prolly could <3 them
If they weren't sooo hateful

They crucify the truth
'Cause they know-not
What they do
Whatever!

I am an agnostic. I accept the possibility that a god or gods may exist but this is extremely improbable.
If pushed, I would say god does not exist but since I acknowledge it's possibility I fall under the definition of "agnosticism".
I am a man of science and I view the world in a logical and rational way. Believing in god is entirely nonsensical to me.
These are my views.
 
I am Roman Catholic. Everything I have read (in the Bible) about Jesus is beautiful. His characteristics are a blueprint of what I would like mine to become. I want to be like Christ, yet I'm not very good at it.

There's a difference between believing in god & knowing god. Neither may be necessary 4 U.

Yeah, I know what U mean! I know I could do it but I'm not motivated. For me, it would require 12 disciples, or even one, now. Like true love!
 
I have no desire to "meet" or "know" god as such a notion is illogical.

HEHE. If you knew what god is, then you couldn't help but continually meet god.

But stick to your skepticism, it will push back the infinite, ie protect you from reality.
 
There's not much I know with certainty in this crazy topsy-turvy world. But one thing I do know is that if you're not Catholic, you're going hell.

What if I'm not Catholic but I buy me a plenary indulgence. If that doesn't work I'll hire me a canon lawyer. There has to be a loop hole somewhere.

Yeah, U don't wanna know/meet God. It happened 2 me twice under unpleasent circumstances and changed my personality.

First time was when I fell into love with a girl, thought she would leave me, felt insecure, self-hypnotically regressed to age 14 (with all the emotional insecurities), then 6 and into the womb where I saw a flash of light (my eyes closed while laying down in fetal position) = God. I was figuratively "born again."

Second time, I was harrassing a Mall Preacher at AZ State U., three cops jumped me, I fell to the ground and hit my head on the concrete . . . had an Out of Body Experience with the light (god) at the end of the tunnel, cosmic feeling, surging through the galexy, bliss. Then I asked myself, "what condition is the body in?" I started hovering above the croud, realized my body was okay. Students were yelling at the cops saying, "U didn't hafta do that." I quickened to my feet as if nothing happened . . . the cops hustled me away and let me go. The next day there was a student gathering signitures of witnesses. I told him to forget it. Wish I sued the cops . . . coulda used the $$$. I was living in my VW bus on the street at the time.

I hope you find your one, GoddessLSD-XTC

Thx, I know it will happen (again) if necessary.
 
Absolute belief is intellectual death.

Religious beliefs represent the absolute fear mankind has when facing the world.

You are absolutely literally and metaphorically alone on this journey.

The absolute Fallibility of consciousness and the fallibility of all of mankind's conscious and unconscious creations is my religion. Holy books don't exist as an objective reality. Saints/Saviors are myths to live through not individuals one much dogmatically submit to.

That phrase makes me puke in my mouth every time I hear it.

Its the epitome of vague and meaningless comments.

Primarily because you use two words which are so loaded with varying interpretation as to render them impotent and imprecise.
 
I go to catholic church but dont much agree with its actions. I believe there is a god, Jesus and holy spirit. I also believe in Karma and reincarnation and that we are able to telepathically speak with each other and animals.

Unfortunately many people don't have a good handle on what religion and spirituality are, and what the difference is between them is. It took me a while to get them straight too. In short:

* Spirituality is anything one says, does, or thinks, with the explicit intent of rendering one's life connected and meaningful.
* Religion is people practicing spirituality as a group.

Just because you have no interest in either spirituality or religion (which is perfectly normal and OK), doesn't make these two terms vague or meaningless. It just means they're not for you.

TheMatador, I think you'll find you're in good company here -- a lot of drug users are individualist seekers, who wander off on their own, as it were, to find their own spiritual path.
