My mother is Anglican, but she refused to raise me as a Christian, preferring I come to my own conclusions.

Surely, you can't blame me for thinking the idea of something 'existing outside of space and time' is incomprehensible.
What does it even mean to exist outside of space and time, the very thing we use to determine permanence?

>What religion were you born into?

Catholicism. Raised Catholic, went to catholic schools, mass every week end, pilgrimages once a year, catechism, participation in church life, etc.

>What religion are you now?

Dunno. Thinking that there's a God helps me, gives me hope. But I've never felt the faith others around me have. I wish I did. I still do most of the things I did growing up, more out of habit, as a way to socialize with good, like minded people, to make people around me happy, because I enjoy catholic rituals and culture. Culturally Catholic Agnostic is probably the best way to describe it.

>What religion were you born into?
A weird mix of Southern Baptist Christianity and Messianic Judaism (which can be either Jews who think that Jesus is the Messiah, or Christians who want to celebrate Hanukkah and shit; it was the former in my case).

>What religion are you now?
A weird mix of agnosticism and Reform Judaism with Kabbalistic tendencies. Basically.

>Why are you that religion?
Because I'm a Jew, but not really strict, and I don't think Jesus is the Messiah. Also, I will never not be fascinated by mysticism and superstition.

>>2653054

I was technically born into Twelver Shia Islam but my parents never really talks about Religion or somehow introduced me too it.

I am Agnostic but I am not hostile towards religion. I see the societal value of religion and that every culture developed some kind of religion must mean something.

Because I really dont know wether there is a god or not and just couldnt bring myself to larp although I see some Value in some religions.

I told my mom I didn't believe in God when I was 9, that was around the first time I seriously questioned it. But before that I was still pretty rebellious against the whole idea, I got kicked out of CCD, would teach other kids to curse, ask questions I knew would piss off the nuns, etc.

No religion (except for maybe Taoism) seems legit in any way to me. Large scale organized religion gives off a scam feel, and just seems improbable.

It make a hell of a lot more sense than the alternatives.

Obviously, we aren't justified in believing in current religious dogmas, but attempting to handwave religion away as a bunch of meaningless bullshit is pretty absurd too. It's not possible to fully explain religion in terms of instinctual error or as a protection against death anxiety.

Example on eucharist

"Consider how contrary to the mind of God are the heterodox in regard to the grace of God which has come to us. They have no regard for charity, none for the widow, the orphan, the oppressed, none for the man in prison, the hungry or the thirsty. They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not admit that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, the flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in His graciousness, raised from the dead."

"Letter to the Smyrnaeans", paragraph 6. circa 80-110 A.D.

"Come together in common, one and all without exception in charity, in one faith and in one Jesus Christ, who is of the race of David according to the flesh, the son of man, and the Son of God, so that with undivided mind you may obey the bishop and the priests, and break one Bread which is the medicine of immortality and the antidote against death, enabling us to live forever in Jesus Christ."

-"Letter to the Ephesians", paragraph 20, c. 80-110 A.D.

>>2656983
But then again you can't be talking about the apostles because they, and Jesus, teached protestantism. Catholicism is about hypocrisy and idol worship; not really what the early church father I know had in mind

Non-denominational Christianity

Now, well over the course of my life I became a 4chan pervert who said words against the holy ghost so I dont even know if Im ALLOWED to be a Christian.

Buut

I believe in the sun even when it shines not
I believe in love even when I feel it not
I believe in God, even when he is silent.

As for Jesus, it's hard to find faith in him when I don't have any faith in myself. so I dunno man, I dunno

...

I don't think he's God though, other then the beginning of the Gospel of John, there isn't really anything to support that doctrine and I realllllllly think they would have talked about him being God a lot if he truly was.

>>2657509

In the adoring sort of way like potrayed in the Martyrdom of Polycarp?

Because the situations you describe does not match what it says
Chapter 17. The Christians are refused Polycarp's body

But when the adversary of the race of the righteous, the envious, malicious, and wicked one, perceived the impressive nature of his martyrdom, and [considered] the blameless life he had led from the beginning, and how he was now crowned with the wreath of immortality, having beyond dispute received his reward, he did his utmost that not the least memorial of him should be taken away by us, although many desired to do this, and to become possessors of his holy flesh. For this end he suggested it to Nicetes, the father of Herod and brother of Alce, to go and entreat the governor not to give up his body to be buried, lest, said he, forsaking Him that was crucified, they begin to worship this one. This he said at the suggestion and urgent persuasion of the Jews, who also watched us, as we sought to take him out of the fire, being ignorant of this, that it is neither possible for us ever to forsake Christ, who suffered for the salvation of such as shall be saved throughout the whole world (the blameless one for sinners ), nor to worship any other. For Him indeed, as being the Son of God, we adore; but the martyrs, as disciples and followers of the Lord, we worthily love on account of their extraordinary affection towards their own King and Master, of whom may we also be made companions and fellow disciples!

>>2657612

What makes people so sure that God doesn't exist just because we cant observe him...why the hell would he want to be observed? Yet, he still intervenes in the affairs of Earth, considering how people depend on him.

Sorry, if you just said Agnostic I would have left it alone but Agnostic atheists seem strange to me.

>>2657632
Chapter 18. The body of Polycarp is burned

The centurion then, seeing the strife excited by the Jews, placed the body in the midst of the fire, and consumed it. Accordingly, we afterwards took up his bones, as being more precious than the most exquisite jewels, and more purified than gold, and deposited them in a fitting place, whither, being gathered together, as opportunity is allowed us, with joy and rejoicing, the Lord shall grant us to celebrate the anniversary of his martyrdom, both in memory of those who have already finished their course, and for the exercising and preparation of those yet to walk in their steps.

>>2657676
>muh simile
>possess his holy flesh
>eager to be the first to touch him
Guess it's just a simile even when context makes no sense of it

When the author says "as being" he means it as worth as more precious than jewels. That is what he is saying

There is no indication of metaphor anywhere in that sentence

>>2657676
>can't give a clear answer
>goalpost shifting

>>2657709
Except it doesn't. The context shows us how the remains are treated as worth more than gold and jewels hence "as being". There is zero indication of metaphor there and the least one can say is that the remains are very valuable to whoever is handling them. That's it. And from the author's own expression this means it is literally treasure. A sentiment already expressed by calling the martyr's dead flesh as "Holy" and even using the perculiar expression of "possessors of his holy flesh"


Again, just a Protestant who can't handle what the text said that he have to make it inconsistent in its treatment of Polycarp

No Protestant would advocate treating dead flesh as something holy. No Protestant would advocate eager touching of key figures or martyrs in such a manner that people are vying for it

If any context proves you wrong. deal with it retard

>>2657709
Similies are figures of speech like metaphors

Deal with it

The context shows otherwise that it isn't a metaphor. We are straight out told that the flesh is holy to the point that there are those who are eager to "possess his holy flesh"

That is sufficient indication to understand that when the author says that the remains are taken as being more worth than gold, they are serious as it is in fact considered to be something holy to begin with

>>2654524

>>2657874
>muh Similies
>present context
>context not addressed
>Ignores the fact that other translations don't even say "as being" and go straight on to "more precious"

And this is why the Similie argument fails because the context and even translation itself intends for the author to be serious when he says the remains are as being more than gold and jewels. This is the only logical conclusion when taking into account what was mentioned prior which again you never address when I pointed it out

And get over it, a similie is a figure of speech, like metaphors

Deal with it

The early Christians contradict protestantism and this is one example of it

>>2657874
this is what a similie is
>a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g. as brave as a lion ).

This is a metaphor
>a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

Again same thing, figure of speech

Context shows us that the author does not intend figurative speech when he described the remains as worth more than gold and jewels

>>2657886
>muh context
>using obfuscations in translation to make an argument

>And this is why the Similie argument fails because the context and even translation itself intends for the author to be serious when he says the remains are as being more than gold and jewels.
The remains of every loved one are considered valuable to the people who loved him. Just because you´re too autistic to understand that things can have sentimental value as well as regular value doesn´t mean the context is saying the same.

> This is the only logical conclusion when taking into account what was mentioned prior which again you never address when I pointed it out
It's quite literally nothing. there is no reason in addressing a moot point.

>a similie is a figure of speech, like metaphors
No shit. That´s completely irrelevant to the argument.

Also, it's spelled "simile", stupid Cucktholic

Except of course it isn't considered to be on the value of holiness as the martrydom of Polycarp mentions. Key important point which again you ignore.

Another thing is how the Martyr himself was treated and his flesh explicitly called holy to the point that the faithful were eager to "possess" it. Again, additudes toward dead things which go beyond what Protestantism warrants.

Too bad if you can't handle the fact that the Martyrdom of Polycarp shows explicit veneration of a martyr. Even while he is still alive

The martyrdom of Polycarp is literal on its treatment on how the dead remains are viewed

Also, volunteering at the weekly food pantry is fun, I guess.

No, you're objectively wrong. Coptics and Antioch orthadox christianity is the oldest branch. Look it up.

Nigga you can't be serious

Born into atheism but had to lie and say Christian growing up in a religious small town

Visits to a strip mall unitarian church were the obvious workaround

>What religion were you born into?
Buddhism
>What religion are you now?
Buddha's teachings
>Why are you that religion
Learned
- The Middle Way
- The four noble truths
- The Noble Eightfold Path
- Three marks of existence
- Five aggregates

>What religion were you born into?

Thai Buddhism (b/c mom, white dad dgaf, grew up in 'merica)

>What religion are you now?

Thai Buddhism-lite

>Why are you that religion?

I guess I like some of the concepts, but mostly I just enjoy the connection to my mom's culture and the community aspect. I probably wouldn't know anything about Thai culture and I definitely wouldn't speak Thai nearly as well if it wasn't for being forced to go as a kid.

How does it feel having your own tribalist ethno-religion that inspired all the 'supremacist' projection against white people in history who have been nationalists?

>What religion were you born into?
None
>What religion are you now?
None
>Why are you that religion?
N/A

Feels good.

I do find religious interesting from a historical and sociological standpoint. But the idea of believing in it myself makes me laugh.

Because it's convenient as a white American, and because I like the sense of community my church creates and I believe it to be a good influence upon my town.

Parents were atheists, mom's into garbage retarded new age crystals and crap.

Politically I'm a NatSoc and when I was younger tried to incorporate Christianity into my worldview. Doesn't work - it's retarded to try. Christianity was founded by Jews and is a universal religion for all races, just like all the other Abrahamisms bar Judaism. Christianity = the flock/church is the tribe. My ethnicity, and by extension my race, is my 'tribe'.

I'm inadvertantly atheistic because I haven't found any mundane examples of godliness. I also don't buy wrapping around religious ideology my head through trying to reason belief in something. It doesn't work. No doubt in the past it was easier to believe in deities. It was agrarian and you weren't a rootless cosmopolitan. Your family had lived on the same patch of earth for forever, and you had the traditions of your forebears and a sense of continuity.

If I had to choose a religion/spirituality (you can't choose to believe in the divine), it'd be my ethnic paganism or plain deism. The Natural Order and the laws of nature seem the most reasonable.

Pretty happy without religion, plus I find the mythic components of religion too hard to swallow and don't really care about the metaphysical ones.

>Why are you that religion?
Because it's teachings were most like my personal ethics and morality and lifestyle, so I chose it.

Mormonism.
None.
Apart from all the historical issues and inaccuracies that show up, I can't really fit into the idea of there being a specific path to follow the morals of a god or gods. If there is an omnipotent being, what reason would they have to follow human morality?

Islam.
Nothing. Ironic worship of Kek.
Most of you aren't normie retards so you'd know why. I still believe in traditional values though.

Roman Catholicism
None
I believe in God, but I dont believe in religion.
