What religion were you brought up in growing up? What are you now?
    #14484614 - 05/20/11 02:04 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Curious what you guys were raised believing in/exposed to by your family and what your current beliefs (or lack thereof) are now?

I used to go to a Spiritist church when I was a wee lad but all I did there was stay in some random room and played with Legos (and also stole some, blasphemin' heretic since diapers son :snoop:), then just adopted a very hardcore Atheistic stance throughout my teenage years, went through a period of LaVeyan Satanism while still grounded in Atheism and am now deeply, deeply spiritual.

How 'bout you guys?

Remember, let's be respectful here.

My whole family was/is very religious (Protestant)
But they never once pushed it onto me. I never once attended
church. And I thank them for that. Because religion is complete
fucking bullshit.

I was raised atheist, my dad turned to Asatru, and I'm finding myself unduly tempted by one or another ultra-liberal sect of Christianity.

If anything I want to start my own church, use sophisticated Biblical interpretation to justify anything I want, eschew the idea of hell, and generally do all this with the belly-fire of a preacher. I could definitely pull it off. Oh, and a giant print of the Cosmic Christ would be behind the altar.



Instead of a tithe, I would have people bring in plants, and as the faith of our congregation grows so too will the house of God.

(I heard preachers get paid by the government :shoosh:)

Well, I think marijuana would be a bit too conspicuous, but people can bring in any plants they want. Certain plants are especially holy, though. :wink:

My parents didn't really push religion on me although they are Christian.  Never made me go to church or anything.  I'm an agnostic now.

I was raised on a variety of different religions all of which were forced down my throat by my mother as she tried to find her own way. First it was Judaism, then Mormonism, then Scientology, then a little Christian Science, and finally some Buddhism.


All bullshit.
imo mushrooms on sunday is by far the best practice.

Raised Christian.

Believe in nothing. Think something things are unknowable. Love the idea of Asatru.

Raised catholic.  I wasnt forced into it or anything though. My grandfather is really into it. He goes every sunday but he doesnt partake in things confession,so he has always had a defiant stance on the whole dogma thing. If he doesnt agree with part of the religion, he doesnt do it.

My parents were divorced when I was 7 yrs old.  Before that time my sister and mother would go to church but my father and I would stay home and shoot bb-guns.

After they divorced I didnt hear much about religion until i decided to get back into church at the age of 11-12,with pressure from my mother.

Around the age of 14-15 I became, what I considered at the time, "atheist".  Around the age 16-17 I found mushrooms.



Now I am just a child of the universe. Another integer in the equation that is life/love/god.

Well I guess my mom was raised with more of a christian background.
By the time I was say 6 I remember my parents sitting around with a creative dynamics "metaphysical" study group.

So while I was not raised with any religion pushed on my I was exposed to a more metaphysical idea of religion, spirituality.

I don't really care for the term metaphysical, so I guess you could say i was just brought up to be spiritual.

So even now I don't say I have a religion. I have various spiritual beliefs that fit me. I am still not sure if the Anunnaki created the human race as slaves or if I am a cell in a much bigger creature and doing my best to not turn in to cancer.
Hopefully I will find out one day.
