are u guys religious? i see many people that are athiest on here. that makes sense, considering in many religions suicide is very frowned upon. im just curious on ur guys' views on religion. i am christian (quaker), but i respect all beliefs/lack of beliefs, of course. i am not trying to promote my religion or anything, just curious on the differences and similarities u guys have.
i think God is really beneficial in my life. i dont really have friends, but i have a God i can trust in, yk? sounds kinda lame, but it means a lot to me. just so comforting knowing God loves me, that i can be forgiven. for me, having that belief and trust is nice. i spend quite a bit of time praying. i do want to read the Bible more. i was doing pretty good at doing that, but i just rlly havent been motivated recently. kinda sucks but whatever.
how abt u guys? are u religious. if so, is suicide a sin/not allowed in ur religion? where u raised religious?
i wasnt raised with any religion, my parents werent rlly apart of any religion. but i found God through school, and it did help me. i admire ppl of all faiths, cus each religion is very unique and interesting. but i undertsand religion has been an excuse for awful behavior. in my view, ppl who excuse their despicable acts with God are not truly faithful. truly and completly following a religion requires quite a bit of humility. i can struggle with that, humility. but overall, i think it just matters if i am working to do better in that area.
what principals in ur religion matter most to u? for me its prolly: kindness, humility, peace, patience, and self control. i really do need to work on self control and patience lol. if u are athiest/agnostic, what principals matter to u?
quakers are pretty different from the usual christians. like at the vast majority of quaker churches are held in silence, there arent pastors/priests, lgbt is accepted, etc. some people that go to my church are athiest, they jus go for the community. do u guys go to church? temple? mosque? something else?
