Legally lutheran protestant, but personally, I consider myself an agnostic atheist.

I'm an Atheist, which is the only rational belief, while all religions are irrational.

i read about atheism somewhere,and I believe that your religion if very true. although,Buddhists don't believe in deities(Gods). we believe that people can end the cycle of suffering and go to heaven,or make suffering worse(hell). Buddha means awakened,so the Buddha,is,you could say, a "perfected" human. anyways,I strongly support atheism. strange though,i read somewhere that the Japanese say that 64-65% of them are atheists,when around 90-95% are Buddhists...? I see why my teachers dont let me research on Wikipedia. xD(anyways,srry if i may spark some kind of lethal religous war o.O not trrying to offend anybody.)
 
Daoist Taoist
WHatever I am, whatever I am doing, where-ever I am the Path I am on Is always the right one...
Curiously said by several hardcore murderers and other criminals (not that I am one just saying, curious ya know)


My grandma is a renounced menonite (how can A world this beuatiful be a sin or sinful?)
My mom a united christian (only literally after going through every religion in/out there - Why I am a taoist actually)
My Dad the atheist (never explained why ANd at this point he won't talk to me to tell me anything else...)

You are Buddhist simply by accident of birth. If you were born in America you would be Christian. If you were born in India you would be Hindu. Etc. Do you ever ponder that?

The Middle Ages were crazy -.- I don't think anybody is crazy enough to go on the crusades,w/o knowing that they would die... I also thing that the Jews,Muslims,and the Christians could've SHARED Jerusalem,but hey,history is history,and religions are religions.

Bhuddism is one of the only religions I have any respect for. The tale of Bhudda is a fantastic one and shows just how great a human can be if he just stops and thinks for a moment.

I don't have a religion, no religion really agrees with me. So I made my own faith with a mixture of science and God
Hadrianism is for you.

And Christianity originated in the middle east. That doesn't change the fact that some countries like the USA are predominantly that religion. Regardless, why did you list Japan in your profile if you were not born there and do not live there? Bah never mind.
 
nothing and everything.

I dont believe in a singular god, i believe in any god that i feel like on that day at that particular period, and vice versa, i believe that there isnt a god when i don wish to believe in them/he/it

Sorry to hear that happened to you, some kids (and adults sadly) are clueless. The way I see it with religion is as long as someones beliefs don't hinder the quality of other peoples life or affect the freedoms people enjoy then anyone is free to follow whatever faith and philosophy they want! With Bhuddism though I think I identified with it alot cos I studied alot of Martial Arts in my younger days. Bhuddist philosophy is part of it, well unless you're just into the fighting aspect of course.
 
I believe in doing as you would be done by ... and if they wont do that, do it to them first.

I treat people as I want to be treated, but if they can't dig it, then **** 'em.

My faith is in my friends and in my conscience.
