are you a religious person?

curious to see what people here think about the topic

I didn't vote because I don't practice a religion but I do personally believe in God. I dont go to church and haven't for decades. I was raised Baptist but I have a lot of issues with all organized religion.

I didn't read the last option before I voted cos I'm dumb, but I'm probably closer to that. I had a strong atheist phase at 18, arguing with creationists in youtube comments, which in retrospect was sad, but also very entertaining. I came from a religious school, mass at least 2 times a week, religious family, religious values, iconography and pushy ideas. So yeah only normal some people break out of that harshly.
But now I don't think much about it, any joy anyone can extract from this world without hurting others is good in my book regardless. Amen

im agnostic. I don't know. probably not though. if there is a god I think its more likely to be something incomprehensible then anything man made.

 

[Rynalia]

Don't particularly care, is what I would have originally said.

Leaning more on openly antagonistic now though, because for some damn reason people keep trying to inject it into my life and it's irritating.

Good it helped you, but it's not helping me, and you are not the one who gets to decide what's good for me or not.

Seriously, those people can fuck right off.

I don't practice a religion. I lean towards atheism but, I'm not convinced either way on whether there is or isn't a God.

 

[Permanoir]

I'm not entirely sure what I believe in, but I would say I lean more toward Christianity, just a tiny bit. I chose the third option because I still go to church for the sense of community and the warmth it brings.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, not at all and I believe anything to do with religion to be completely fictional and I don't see any meaning or purpose behind any of this rather I see existence as a dreadful, terrible mistake that just brings and causes so much suffering and cruelty until non-existence takes away all anyway. For me non-existence really is all that's desirable and I see it as the most terrible tragedy how this existence was even imposed that just causes pain and problems there were never a need for and suffering all for the sake of it with no limit as to how much one can be tortured, existence truly is the problem for me.

 

[VoidButterfly]

I'm atheist, it plays no part in my life. I tried attending a church for a bit in the past, appreciated the community aspect a lot but ultimately I didn't believe at all so I stopped eventually.

 

[Griever]

I believe in God, but I'm not religious

 

[FadingSnowFake]

I believe in there being a god, whoever we perceive him/her to be. I don't actively practise my religion though.

 

[SchizoGymnast]

I'm a deeply religious person, perhaps against my better judgment.

 

[Darkover]

there is no god or creator and all religions are bullshit

 

[Ferdinand Bardamu]

Whether there is or is not a God, he doesn't care, and isn't worth worshipping.

 

[yxmux]

no. i think religion is an enshittification of human intellect and cultural identity

 

[cemeteryismyhome]

Ex-Jehovah's Witness, now Catholic convert. Deeply religious. But I'm here on this forum and want to die, so I know it doesn't make sense. But in a way it does. Anyway, I think most religious people are just plain nuts and/or don't really know what they believe or why.

FWIW I'm also a Christian who deals with suicidal ideation. I agree that there's a pretty strong tension between faith and these feelings. ("If God made me and loves me, why do I feel like this?") I don't really know what to do with this tension, but I guess that's part of the reason I'm here.

 

[deletednumber]

I do belive in God and i have faith.
Religion idk...religion often does not coincide with God

 

[nobody_oac]

I was once. I worshipped, went to church regularly as well as reading scripture. It was a non-denominational church. They read scriptures and talked about it as it was written. Some things happened with the church and in my life to change all that. "God never gives us more than we can handle." I used to hear that a lot. I couldn't then and still can't. I can't handle any of what life has thrown at me and therefore god doesn't care or doesn't exist.

 

[supremacyofdeath]

I grew up being indoctrinated into religion. I don't like what any religion preaches. (Besides wicca though not fully)
Believing that some dude in the sky is gonna come down and save people who have blindly dedicated their lives to it is a really shitry example of an "all loving god"
No religion or symbol of love should deny love and have wars set in its name.
Religion may have served a cultural impact before where humans where mostly uncivilized but nowadays it's not needed and frankly is holding humanity back.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I believe our early, early ancestors all crawled out of the ocean.

 

[Forveleth]

Religions are a bunch of made up stories used to control people

 

[Unhumanly.]

I grew up in religious area but I'm not religious

 

[Addicted2Life]

I don't believe in any religion nor in the afterlife. Though it would be cool if you could choose where to go in the afterlife. I'd go to equestria (laugh all you want) or speak to some people that are dead.

 

[SoulWhisperer]

All I know is that I believe in God, but I don't do anything past trying to communicate every now and then via prayer whenever I'm feeling like a disease is consuming me. I don't go to church and I don't interact with religious people. That's about it.
