Non-Christian spiritual beliefs
I wish this could be a 2 part poll...
__________________Basically I wanted to know what other religions are represented by the posters on this board. I see many Christians, and was wondering what other beliefs are shared by the folks on here. I also wanted part of the poll to ask if you were afraid to speak about your spiritual beliefs on the board because of how others may perceive that religion, based on stereotypes or a misunderstanding about that particular religion. For now I'll leave it as is, just the one poll and I'd like to hear from anyone who would like to share their religious beliefs. And if anyone's willing to speak up and say "yes, I'm a little apprehensive to mention to people that I'm (whatever religion)" then by all means do it. Also definitions, since these two are often confused and lumped together: agnostic :One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. athiest: One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods |

Don't take the lack of response personally. We had a thread similar to this several months ago. It was quite lengthy, and I think the participants in that last thread may feel that they've said all they need to say about the subject for awhile. If it weren't so late, and I weren't so tired, I'd go find that thread for you.
Edit: Here it is http://forum2.interference.com/showt...ther+religions |

Not speaking for atheiests, but under Sparkysgrrrl's definition of an agnostic, there is no reason they cannot be spiritual too. Agnostics may not subscribe to a particular God or religion, but general faith can lead to belief that A God does, or some form of higher enitity at least.

unfotunatly that thread went off the deep end onto discussing Christianity...
And yes, like Angel said it is extremely possible to be agnostic and to be spiritual. And Atheists could be spiritual as well for that matter, spirituality dosen't necessarily mean "belief in a higher power" you can believe that there are things out there that we can not prove, or are not meant to understand (ghosts, dimensions, aliens, whatever) without believing there is a higher power "running the show" |

The other religions thread was neat. I learned something about the Bahai faith which I had never even heard of before that. It was a pretty civilised conversation too.

how to say what I feel without pissing people off
I picked agnositic.... I believe that there is a God or something higher that guides us...however, I don't belong to any organized religon. I used to not believe in anything....however, so many times in my life I've had those "close calls" where something really bad should've happened to me, but didn't.
I think I don't really believe in organized religon is that all my experiences with them have been negative. I don't mean that to insult anyone or their beliefs, it is just based on my personal experience. Whatever people believe in and how they choose to express that faith is not for me to question.

BTW I picked: you numbskull you didn't include my non-Christian religion. I could have chosen the pagan/earth-based religions but I feel that since my religion is a left hand path religion it doesnt really fit with those religions. I'm picky, I know.

Yeah, there were some good things in that other thread. I just wish it hadn't gotten so deeply into christianity vs. whatever.
I thought you did a brillinat job in that thread RavenStar ![]() I consider myself Agnostic too, the only religion I really relate to is Wicca but I'm too cynical to really get involved in anything. Mabey at a later date tho...... |

I wonder if I'm the only Satanist on this board. It's not a common religion.

We can edit your poll if you like sparkysgrrrl to add the Satanist religion.
Btw, I am replying to say how much I agree with Daisybean on this.
