What's your religion?
    #8765803 - 08/12/08 11:33 PM (15 years, 7 months ago)

Or, more accurately, what do you worship?  And by worship I mean ardent devotion or adoration.  Is it science?  Reason?  Philosophy?  Moohamud?  Albert Ellis?  Yourself? Mushrooms?  What?

Who or what captures your interest to the point of devotion?

Things that make my logic-lobe tingle. Or factoids that I can bob my head to. :yesnod:

My beautiful wife  :awesome:

Thats pretty much a given.  Otherwise, my free time is occupied with problem solving, like strategy games and study; as well as nurturing, things like animals, plants anything that grows or evolves (living or not).  My current 'life dream' is to move somewhere I can have land for a garden.

Maybe I missed the spirit of the question  (or dodged for that matter :lol:)

Nah, you nailed it.  We have a lot in common except for me it is probably mushrooms right now.  But that is just a diversion from my real passion, learning and thinking. Nothing quite gets it for me like learning something new or thinking deeply about a subject.

Of course this thread has some similarity to ExplosiveMango's thread in that there can't be wrong answers.  I was just curious what people would say.

And obviously from my post count there is a little devotion to the Shroomery. :wink:

:lol:

Good question. I'll answer with another question.

Does worship need an object?

How about religion without an object,
religiousness just for the sake of being religious itself?

I think there are 4 types of people when it comes to religion.
1. They don't think about it much ... it's a small concern
2. They believe what their parents believed and taught them.  They usually see religion as more of a social/community thing
3. True believers that think their way is "the" way.  Come in all shapes and sizes.  Can become militant.  Dangerous when taken to extremes.
4. Spirituality seekers.  Looking for a deeper connection to their inner world.  These people tend to gravitate toward Eastern approaches (Buddhism, Taoism, etc.) that have more of a meditation and personal experience component.  These people are typically not as interested in "the" way as finding "a" way that works for them.  This group also includes New Agers and consciousness expanders ... the drug culture usually fits in here unless drugs become an addiction.


--------------------
"The universe is endless, limitless and infinite.  Any effort to define it's boundaries is an attempt to overcome ignorance.  We are physical, mental and spiritual beings ... there is no beginning and there is no end.  There is only memory.  Our repeated loss of memory experiences create the illusion of beginnings and ends.  Immortality is the ability to retain full memory through all consciousness transformations.  Loss of memory is man's greatest curse and, in very real terms, death."

-- Ancient Taoist Master

This thread is confusing because the title and the first post are different things.

'What's your religion?' =/= 'Who or what captures your interest to the point of devotion? "

I am currently not focused on anything in particular, but finding inspiration to be
creative is almost always a productive drive that satisfies my "inner tension" and well being....

Worship = bias = bigotry.

Appreciating is NOT = Worship

But I admire/infatuate beer and great people. Also, many things some of you like. Also, many things some of you DON'T like.

Is this a fair question? Sometimes infatuation changes too rapidly to fairly make a character trait. I like redheads and cheap guitars less than a year ago; but like brunettes and mid-range guitars more than a year ago.

Funny I've been terribly interested in the mythology of Norse pagan deities and have considered adopting it as a religion but can't find myself compelled in any way to desire to be religious.

I consider myself somewhat taoist if anything, but I do follow the raelian movement and their search for eternal life.
