What religion do you follow?

Post Reply New Topic

I've come to believe that there are more dimensions than the standard four that we are most aware of. I believe these other dimensions that co-habit the same space/time as the other four, include spiritual dimensions, and such realms have their own geography, politics, etc. The world's religions are the result of people in various places having a look into these other realms, and denizens of those regions coming here. Different people+different bioregions+different times = different religions; all equally real; just as dogs and cats are both different but real.

In this context, I study any and all religions, just like studying travel books.

Life after death becomes an issue of making religious alliances in this world in order to secure a specific home in the other worlds; or choosing to remain stateless (I suspect there's a lot of unclaimed real estate in the other worlds).

True belief in the dimension of Temperature over the dimension of Time results in Time being more like dimensions that can be transversed. I would write a book about it again, but like noted in "Candor & Perversion", everything has already been recorded, and at best only restated again & again.

It is amusing to think of true-believers in "Temperature" against true-believers in "Time", as "during" Summer, one group uses machines to condition "Time", while the other group uses machines to condition "Temperature", frequently called Air-Conditioners (time-conditioners sound "strange", even in Time worshippers' using cosmetics).

Is that Shattuck's book?

I'm an atheist. I don't believe in or follow any god or religion. I believe religion is used to control people.

I do understand that some people take great comfort in having a religion and I can accept and tolerate them having it as long as they don't expect me to have it too.

I kinda have my own set of beliefs, but then again I'm more marveled with what's inside this thing i call a body or container whichever works.

Yes, I think it was XIV of his Nineteen Theses, on page 6 (I remember it with "Irish Bull", so I use the word "Irish" to search to find the page number at the preview of the book at amazon-dot-com and/or books-dot-google).

I've read 3 or 4 of his books, "Forbidden Knowledge", "Proust's Way", "Candor & Perversion", and a version of "The Forbidden Experiment" (I can't remember if it was his book or a similar book, but I still have the other 3 books). His book "Forbidden Knowledge" seems to be against obtaining knowledge to be able to make an informed choice with any religion (and involving autism, with mere mention of "the banality of evil", he uses Dr. Dobson while glossing over Ted Bundy's wide range of attempts to use many factors as other protective capes, which many feminist noticed as mere attempted facades, with some attempts going as far as to blame vaccines for causing serial murders). In "Forbidden Knowledge", I think Shattuck cites Camus and "The Stranger" most often with the mention of autism, much like a very recent forum posted here about Nihilism and Solipsism has mentioned it.

I'm an atheist in my head and an animist in my heart. I'm not a pagan, nor a pantheist. I actually worship trees, hills, birds, etc- but I don't believe in gods, or that everything is God. I don't worship an abstract idea of 'nature' - I just worship stuff because it pleases a primitive part of my psyche.

The same can be said about atheism but I agree with your, second statment

A god is logically possible if we do not attribute too much power to it. a god which is infallible, omnipotent, and omniscient leads to logical contradictions. Can god make a rock so big he can't lift it?

I dunno, thunderstorms are awesome.

My mother is Catholic and my father is Baptist. I guess that means I'm a Captist.
But I am only Christian because I was baptised as an infant. I don't practice my religion and neither do my parents. If they did then I'd probably have at least 10 siblings instead of just one since my mom is Catholic. Also before I was born a priest once told my parents they shouldn't marry because of their "different" religions. They got married anyway and have stayed together for around 40 years.
Religion. Don't make a big deal about it. The end.

Well, I was born, baptized and confirmed in an Anglican church, but I have unofficially left Christianity for "Noachidism"- The Seven Laws Of Noah...if you don't know what it is, look in Bible in the book of GENESIS or type "Bnei Noah" in the google search bar; you might get some results.

I passionatelly hate anything/anyone that has to do with all this religious BS.
I think it just might count as one too, huh.

I've enjoyed being a None religious person for a long time now.
