I'm a retired catholic... I take more of an agnostic approach these days.
abbott75 did you come knocking at my door last year?Personally, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Religion? No way Jose! I can't abide the idea of handing over responsibility to all the stuff that happens in my life to an imaginary deity (ie "god works in mysterious ways" when something bad happens or "god blessed me with ..." when something good happens)
I believe somewhat in the concept of karma, but just in that if you are a good person, good things will come your way.
I like the idea of reincarnation or an afterlife, but on the whole I think it is just a method to help us to cope with the scary idea of death and loss of loved ones.
you could regard me i suppose, as i quiet often refer to GOD when I am doing things of a certain nature ..........:lol::lol::lol:
religion destroy's all the it touches, especially the mind.
i think religion in its truest form destroys nothing.. in my view, although never baptisted it is the interpretation of individual religious leaders and how they hand down the information from religious teachings that brings about conflict.
if we never forget that i think we'll all become a lot more tolerant of each other and those beliefs.. it becomes all too easy for us to blame..
