[DragMeIntoPlace911]

Coming from an Ex Catholic now turned atheist, I'm very open minded to know more abt your beliefs esp when it's related to CBT

If not, what do you guys think comes after death? I'm curious to know

I was Presbyterian. I went through an atheist phase in middle and high school but am now agnostic. I still have enormous respect for Judeo-Christian ethics, teachings, philosophies, and morals, but don't care so much for the spiritual/faith parts.

As far as the afterlife goes I'll be a broken record again and say that we've spent billions of years not existing before our birth and that time passes swiftly. Why would death be any different?

Nietzsche's idea of eternal recurrence is unsettling to me, although I interpret it in a somewhat more biological sense. In any case, I wouldn't want to live the same life over and over again for all eternity.

What I do find deeply appealing, however, is the Jewish concept of reincarnation (gilgul neshamot). According to this belief, the human soul is reborn in order to complete its mission—to correct the mistakes or fulfill the tasks it could not accomplish in a previous life—and, in doing so, to ascend to a higher spiritual level.

I grew up Christian but became atheist in my teen years and now I'd consider myself more agnostic. I don't believe in a benevolent God but that doesn't necessarily mean there's no God at all. Either way I don't believe in the afterlife in any way. I think we came from nothing and at the end we'll go back into nothing. That's the best case scenario for me.

This.

 

[Lucifer’s Son]

I'm too eclectic to adhere to one religion. I just add whatever seems to make sense to my beliefs. I guess if you HAD to label it, it would Hermetic-ish. (From what I understand of that term.) Lucifer is my Patron, though I work with other spirits.

Athiest I just don't see how a loving god would create a world like this

I hate that it is a buzzword on tiktok right now, but I'm an antitheist and I've felt that way since I could comprehend what religion truly was. Basically it is atheism or agnostic atheism with the idea that many major world religions (mainly christianity) are inherently harmful to human rights and society as whole. christianity just spreads so much hate, judgment, discrimination, and is so normalized as an excuse for things like homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, racism, etc. I do believe that there are religious people who still are morally good, but the idea of labeling people as committing "sin" and proceeding to ostracize them from communities for it for certain things is ridiculous. Apart from that, believing in a god who has full control of living creatures and is all knowing cannot be a good person just based on how terrible and unfair our world is.

 

[Canto XIII]

I was raised Catholic, now I'm an agnostic.
Edit: I think there isn't any afterlife, if by afterlife you mean some kind of continuation of our conscience after death. And it's probably for the best, because if there was I'd probably burn in the deepest pit of Hell for eternity lol

 

[Surek]

I am not religious, but I have a religious preference in the form of a sympathy for pantheism

I haven't heard from being antitheist before (I'm not on tik tok and don't really use social media), but I would agree 100% with you. Although I feel that not all religions are equally damaging, it seems to be mostly the monotheistic religions. Buddhism for example seems a lot more tolerant, but then Buddhism is more a philosophy than a religion.
I was raised Christian, but became an atheist in my early teens. I think after death there will be nothing, just like before we were born/conceived.

I think I most closely identify with being an atheist (at least for what I believe happens after death) and so I just don't think anything happens. It's just done. Both comforting and scary at the same time but at least I won't be judged by some higher being for my life nor will I be sent to live again.

I am not believe in God. Truth is we don't know the real truth about this world, the universe.
If we wanna know what is after death?
We should die.

 

[MAKE IT STOP!]

I was raised Mormon, but decided that wasn't for me. I'm now a pagan.

 

[LastNite]

Atheist because I don't like gambling and submissiveness.

 

[LRkin]

Formally — eastern orthodox (I was baptized when I was 2 yo), but de facto agnostic. I would love to believe in God, but I just can't.

Mistakes happen. I've made many stupid posts before in the site suggestions section many times without realizing it.

When it comes to mental health spaces I always feel like the odd one out... I'm Catholic and have never once doubted my beliefs... odd isn't it..

Catholic here too.
I think I'm being punished for a poorly led life. It was in my grasp.
But I also feel I did have a mental illness. Maybe I'm just making excuses.
I pray every day for a second chance at this. Time just marches on.
I don't think of afterlife much, just SI holds me back.

I'll include you in my nightly prayers I believe you can recover from what ails you

No, I could never believe in such, to me death is the true permanent peace of non-existence which is all I hope and wish for, I'd just never wish for this torturous, futile existence of dreadful suffering where there is no limit as to how much one can be tortured.

I'll just always see existence as the most terrible cruel mistake, nothing no matter what would make me wish for the terrible, torturous burden of existing, all that existence ever does is just torture existing beings and it's so futile, I'll always see it as an abomination to exist, for me non-existence is just all that's desirable and positive in this existence of torturous suffering.

I am both pleased and sorry to hear that.

I've mostly made peace with it. But I do miss the comfort of faith sometimes.

As irreligious as it gets but non theistic religions(buddhism and jainism) appeal to me but too lazy to study them. Absolutely no fear of God, Afterlife, sins, ghosts etc. BTW we are all atheists about all the religions we don't follow.

Nietzsche's idea of eternal recurrence is unsettling to me, although I interpret it in a somewhat more biological sense. In any case, I wouldn't want to live the same life over and over again for all eternity.

What I do find deeply appealing, however, is the Jewish concept of reincarnation (gilgul neshamot). According to this belief, the human soul is reborn in order to complete its mission—to correct the mistakes or fulfill the tasks it could not accomplish in a previous life—and, in doing so, to ascend to a higher spiritual level.

Didn't know an Abrahamic religion preaches reincarnation, Thought the concept was unique to Indic religions.

Most Efficacious God. World was a better place when cats were worshipped.
