Hey, everyone. I'm certainly curious to know what it is that you believe and why. No hidden agendas or ulterior motives. Plain and simple curiosity and a conversation starter.

  I have always believed in a spiritual universe, but one without the huge god everyone seems so afraid of. All things have spirits to a greater or lesser degree. Just as living things are more complex than inanimate matter, their spirits are also more complex, and become more soul-like.
  Also, just as I feel spiritually superior so some things, there are other things spiritually superior to me. But worship is out of the question. That's crazy stuff.

  I don't really believe anything. I'm not a nihilist, but I also don't believe anyone can tell me what or whom God is. I have an idea, but that is far as my belief goes. I've taken a look from every side of the religious game and I found that the question can never be answered with human words nor can our intellect grasp an idea so far outside our finite mindsets.

  I would like to find a religion that is completely tollerent of all sides. The only religion I know of that dotes complete love for all religions, is the unitarian universalist church. I don't go there because I don't believe in religion and whilst I was seeking, it was one of the places I frequented for a time.

  Have you ever beento a liniear church, that preaches hell for all people that don't believe in Christ? This the logic of most Christian ministries. There is only one path to God? I don't think so and there for because it is subjective, I am not wrong for feeling this way. The UU I went to accepted Budhism, Bahaism, Shinto and Zen Budhism this is just to name a few. That is my reference point to the UU. They couldn't be universal if they left out all religions, it just wouldn't make sense.

  *Shrugs* Not all religions are represented in my church, but we've got most of the majors represented...and quite a few atheists. With the addition of my Hubbie, we even have a fundamentalist evangelical Christian. I'm not sure how we would feel about a satanist, but I guess he'd be welcome until he did something inappropriate.
  
  We are welcome to participate in all observations or none. We like different though, it gives us fresh perspectives into things. Debate is practically a religion in and of itself in my church.
  
  I don't think we really "dote love" for all religions, but we do dote acceptance and the idea that there are just as many paths as there are people.

I'm a convert to Judaism (Reform, or liberal/predominant branch in this country). I was born Catholic but was agnostic for most of my adulthood.

I'm Jewish because the religion makes sense to me, I think it's the right approach to things (for me, at least), and, tellingly, even among those I disagree with, I can understand where other Jews are coming from when we discuss things. (I can not say the same thing about Catholics or other Christians; often I'm utterly confused by the logic they use) But I've long known that religion itself is not important to everyone, and that there are good people among all religions (and no religion at all), so the fact that Judaism does not consider itself "the only way" is also very important to me.

  I was raised in a multi religious household so I was exposed to many sides at once. The first book I ever read was the dancing wu li masters. A metaphisical journey, then I read the baghavad geta, a hindu manuscript, followed by many others: The Torah, The Bible, The epic of gilgamesh and the list goes on.
  
  Then I went to college and learned that everything I had read up til then had another side to it. When I was in ellementary school, they painted Christopher Columbus as rightious and wholesome person. When I read about it later, I found that he was responsible for spreading Cholera and scarlette fevor amongst the native Americans.
  
  For me, the truth hides between the lines.

Religious beliefs are a waste of time.

Philosophical beliefs are just someone's attempt at reasoning.

I hold very few beliefs due to the fact that life is ever changing and beliefs are to change as well. Those who maintain a belief, don't understand life.

  Well, what you said is a "belief." I didn't say that it had to be anything concrete. I'm non-religious myself, but I believe I have found certain "truths," like what you said about life being "ever changing," from some of the religions I have studied. What you just said is actually quite a Buddhist principle, that life has been teaching me on my own, even before I could give it a name. It's still a "belief" in a sense. Thank you for sharing.

  You act as though belief is a bad word. I don't believe it is.
  
  Life is extremely subjective, as much as we'd like to think that we can be objective, we may be able to be so, but only to a certain degree. Is this true, I certainly believe so, based on my past experiences, and what I have observed, etc.
  
  I think the important thing to consider is that there's a degree to which we can't help but approach life subjectively, what anyone thinks is a fact or undeniable truth may indeed be so, or may not be so. And the evidence presented may be seen as sufficient, or not seen as sufficient. Why do scientists disagree? Why do religious members of the same religion disagree? Why does anyone disagree with anyone else (what are reasons that disagreement on an issue could even be possible)?
  
  As an individual, I can only say something I believe to be true based on experiences and what I have found to be good evidence to support it. (But do you see the subjectiveness in that?)
  
  What one sees as wisdom in the East, one might see as folly in the West,and vice versa. Why?
  
  The debate on whether there is or isn't a God will forever persist. Why? We see what we wish to see and find what we wish to find. A man starting with the notion that there is a god, and is convinced that he will find god if he looks for him, will probably "find him." A man who starts with the idea that there is no god, or that his existence is unknowable, and sees everything from a natural point of view would not be easily persuaded of his existence... no matter what "proof" the believer in god might try to throw his way, because of the nature of that proof.(Subjectiveness)
  
  Sure there are facts like George Washington was the first President of the United States. But, we're talking about something quite different here.

  Garsh, I love forums, but those errands call to me.
  
  Quick response.
  
  The first thing I should've done was address this from your first post.
  
  "I hold very few beliefs due to the fact that life is ever changing and beliefs are to change as well. Those who maintain a belief, don't understand life."
  
  So apparently, you DO have beliefs, good sir. And you must hold some, since that's what you said, which means you don't have a good understanding of life? Of course it doesn't mean that...
  
  And of course beliefs change. Which is again why I said what I was talking about didn't have to be anything concrete.
  
  I don't believe the same things I believed a month ago.
  
  I have this feeling, though, that a conversation with you would probably go on endlessly. You like putting people down and you think you just have this perfect perception of life and how things work so no matter what someone says, if it's not how you see things, it's wrong.

  Ah..a twister of words. You must like word play. Good show on you.
  
  No, I understand life. I hold beliefs long enough to change the belief. Duh? Life changes, therefore the beliefs must change.
  
  I hold meaningless beliefs, such as I did hold a belief that the Boston RedSox would Win the World Series. When that belief was no longer necessary, then I dropped it. Got it?
  A conversation with me would be endless considering there's an endless number of things to talk about. So what's your point?
  Interesting assessment, even though it's brought on by a skewed perception, which is why you see things as you do.
  Some things are subjective yes. There's no doubt with that. However, there's a lot that isn't.

  I meant more that having a conversation with you is like talking to a wall.
  
  My point is that EVERYONE has beliefs... including you. It is your belief that beliefs should constantly change because this is what life has taught you and you believe there's a enough evidence to support such a claim. Subjectivity in play. I could just as easily make an argument for how beliefs should stay the same and find evidence that I and many other people may find sufficient enough for this to be true. However I don't believe that.
  
  You seem to think that somehow I am disagreeing with your statement that beliefs do and should change. If you were actually reading my comments you would see that I am not disagreeing with you there.
  
  You would have also seen that I didn't tell you that you didn't understand life. I was using irony, and after the statement I said of course that's not true, ie I was implying that of course you have some understanding of life... I swear people in forums always skip over things that people write because they're ready to tell them they're wrong.

I've given up trying to know what I believe. I often call myself an atheist, yet I pray to God. I tend not to believe when people tell me of their psychic experiences, even though I have had several myself. I listen to the likes of Richard Dawkins, because their science offers the best answers for the origins of life, yet I am left feeling that this picture is somehow incomplete. I dislike religious fundamentalism, yet recognise that fundamentalism exists amongst atheists as well. Perhaps it would be best to combine science and spirituality in a new ideology, but what form this would take, I've no idea. I have decided that for myself, that I will no longer cling to one belief, but will try to be open to whatever ideas are available. Even science seems to change its certainties.
