Skeptic7 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Seems to come up fairly often in the threads, though usually off topic, so lets take the pulse of the religiosity of TV members. Atheist? Agnostic? Christian? Buddhist? Muslim? Other? For the record, I am a lifelong strong atheist... Edited May 25, 2016 by Skeptic7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetCowboy Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 God. If she didn't exist, we'd have to invent her! God, like courage, exists in people's hearts. Let an atheist deny courage, and then they can deny God. To say something exists only in peoples minds is to acknowledge its' existence. I don;t know any atheists that would deny God exists in people's minds. SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lannig Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Wondered if it was really appropriate to reply seriously here given the tonality so far ... anyway here's my shot. Baptised catholic christian here, never practiced my given religion because I don't recognize my beliefs in it. I do believe in a kind of supreme being but my interaction with this being is completely private and devoid of any human-imposed rules. I wouldn't share what it's made of with anyone. I have been interested in Buddhism when coming to Thailand, tried to get a small grip because I was seduced by its openness, the karma and enlightenment concepts and the lesser moral rules. However I can't get over the tight relation between money and Buddhism in Thailand and that was a show-stopper. Maybe my catholic culture showing up here. I don't go to wats anymore except for "mandatory" ceremonies like funerals of people from my closest circle. Edited May 25, 2016 by Lannig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I'm trying to think of any time I have heard a religious person rubbishing the views of agnostics or atheists. I've read plenty of stuff from religious people expressing their view of what God thinks, and many people thanking God for the good things in their life, but only atheists blaming God for the troubles of the world, SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakin Musashi Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Not raised (very) religious (not even BAPTISED!), but I poked around curiously with various religions and spiritualities from time to time, with the idea that you don't have to believe in the Easter bunny in order to eat the candy.Buddhism makes more sense than any of the others. My late wife was a serious practicing Buddhist and she had a heart of gold. I mostly know the sects of Buddhism practiced in Japan, and Thai Buddhism is quite different indeed. It will take some getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
