I have very little time for organised religion, for the most part I find it disgusting in its heartlessness and hypocrisy……but I have a faith. I give myself over to knowing it will always be too massive for me to grasp but hey, maybe that’s the nature of faith ? Im not trying to prove my “point” ( I don’t have one! Lol ) but I just find the conversation interesting I have a faith too but my faith is less based on an all creator and more a “we are all made of energy” and energy as we know can never be created nor destroyed, only converted between forms (Thermodynamics)…. Basically I am and do describe myself as Buddhist 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 21,687 Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 I find Naturalistic pantheism a better way of looking at spiritual questions rather than these overbearing gods and rules that people seem to enslave themselves to. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
