Thread: What religion are you?

For me it's not the fanaticism that drives me away from religion or not believing in a god at least at present. I get that there are those who are that way and those who aren't. Just like there are those who have a faith and choose not to practice, etc. while others do and do so avidly and ardently. Power to them all. But I digress slightly. For me it has to do with what works for me spiritually. I just have issues in having blind faith like that. Nothing wrong with it at all and I accept that I might be wrong in the end. But, while I'm alive and at this moment, I just can't go there. It's personal and rather hard to explain. But I can say it doesn't have much to do with the fanatics or any such thing. Though, such sorts don't help the cause for those who do have and practice a faith. If that makes any sense.
Thread: What religion are you?

Hedonism border-lining with satanism. It's not the Christian concept of heaven and hell, and is highly misconstrued. There are a lot of things about ritual that I just don't care to dabble in. It's, in a nutshell, a very indulgent religion based upon the concept of maximizing one's own pleasure. In very simple terms, a hedonist strives to maximize this net pleasure pleasure minus pain. I follow a few of LaVey's laws, simply because he put into words what I was looking for this entire time. Smart man, but he made Satanism far too showy for my tastes.
Thread: What religion are you?

I'm an atheist and I love it. I guess I should say that I'm agnostic as well, but I'm not sure if that counts. If I had concrete evidence there was a higher power I do not think I would worship it. I just don't see the point in it. If there is a higher power that created this universe then our petty prayers and rituals would most likely be of the same import of the rituals of the germs on the abdomens of ants to us. Maybe. It's not like we made either of those things. But I hope you get my point. I also think a lot, if there was a primary mover, then who created the primary mover? Was it just, ta-da, primary mover one day exists and never questions where it came from? What if the primary mover is a remnant of another primary mover's creation, then should we be worshiping that, or is that hypothetical creature too far removed from our creation? Anyways. I have seen no justification for a primary mover. I just think everyone is really lucky.

I'm an atheist. I'm not a militant atheist since my big thing is tolerance. When I came out of the atheist closet I lost a lot friends and was pretty heavily bullied. The experience really strengthened me and so my main attitude toward other religions is Have fun with that, if you want to convert me get in line.

I was raised Catholic. It has had a deep meaning in my life, but I don't practice as much as I 'should'.
Thread: What religion are you?

I'm a self taught animist. I tend to have issues with the evangelical, whether they be religious or the evangelical non-religious evangelizing against people who evangelize. To be honest, the cruelest attempt to convert me came from an atheist, and I have seen too many people who either let a religion think for them or believe they are inherently superior because they do not. But one of my most hated arguments ever is religion is bad. Like it is the fault of a belief system that people use it for their own gain. On their own, belief systems are pretty good. Even Christianity without some of the archaic concepts in the Bible is supposed to be a religion of peace, love, and tolerance. Human greed made people exploit this for their own gains via the Catholics, those 'converting' Native Americans, etc and it has been used as a way to get what is wanted. Not just Christianity, mind you. Of course there have been those without religious views who have done the same thing Stalin and Hitler being pretty good examples, same thing with Pol Pot I believe because of their own desires. Long rant short Belief or the lack thereof does not make something bad. Human nature will corrupt it. People suck, good day to you all I have to go pray to some trees.
Thread: What religion are you?

The good thing about animism is that while there are cultural traditions and ways of looking at it, it's not like there's straight-up dogma. The universe is alive, everything has a spirit that's essentially equal to, albeit different from, your own act accordingly. That's pretty much the major rule. See, that's why if I had to be organized in my religion, I would pick animism.

Atheist, born into a family of Christians. Safe to say, Christmas is always amusing.

Born christian. or I should say raised christian, but I'm more agnostic then anything else. Still celebrate Christmas and Easter with family, if only out of pure tradition and well seeing them. Never really believed in it, desipte the 21 and some years of going ot church.
Thread: What religion are you?

I'm an irreligious agnostic atheist that flirts with Theravada Buddhism. And a Secular Humanist, too, so it's like I'm almost religious, but not quite. I should just start saying I'm a Bokononist and be done with it, but I don't think I could spell it consistently.

There's good things to be said about a lot of traditions. They make families, cities, and cultures into cohesive entities. Just as long a you're not forced into them, that is.

Raised Roman Catholic, but when finally given the option to come to church of my own free will, I never went back. I identify as a Deist, and believe in a god, but that he has never interfered in this world and has no interest in rewarding or punishing us.
Thread: What religion are you?

I am agnostic. I mean, I do sort of believe in a higher power, but I believe all these books that teach us of these Higher Powers are total crap. I honestly can't follow the teachings of a book man wrote about God. However, these are just my short sighted opinions. . Pretty much they mean nothing.

I just tell people pagan, but even then the explanation is occasionally annoying if they don't know what that entails. However, with those who do know, I'd say, satr.
Thread: What religion are you?

I'm not a theist, but I wouldn't call myself an atheist either. I'm sort of jaded when it comes to feeling things about religion, but if I had to say I was close to anything it would be Roman Catholic because I went to a school where all the teachers came from Quebec... I know my mother is... religious... possibly a Christian... but have never inquired further.

I was born in a christian family so that'd make me a christian obviously. Although I don't restrict myself to just that one religion. I find other religions interesting as well just like I do with different culture around the world.

Thread: What religion are you?

Ah! Religion! ee I'm actually a bit of a mix-it-up with Christianity, Buddhism, and even...dare-I-say...Satanism.. I'm not sure what it's called when a person just does their own studies of everything and mixes it up.. x'D So if anyone knows the word please help me3 On a normal basis I follow the laws of christianity, and believe in the father of all things. I don't, however, believe people go to heaven. Which is where the Buddhism comes in. Reincarnation till your life reaches the state of ascendancy. And how people must.. self-evolve their essences and stuff. Then finally, the satanism ... I know of the arts of summoning, sigils, and all the taboo things like that. I never apply that knowledge to use but I have the faith that it'll work if I try. 83 And that's about it.. ee Quite the religion huh? Still though knowing a name for something like this would be nice.. x' If not I'll just form my own religion. Bwahahah.

Mike walked through the front doors of the school and frowned. If it had been up to him he would never have set foot in this town again but in the end it wasn't his choice to make. He made his way through the halls quickly as he headed for the office. As he walked he noticed more than a few people starring at him then quickly looking at someone near them and whispering o quietly for him to hear but he knew they were talking about him. Once he reached the office things went quickly as he handed over his transcript and got his courses assigned. He listened to the principle give him a speech about following the school rules and giving the other students the respect that they deserved. He had head the same speech from the councillor in his last school. When the principle was done he was given his schedule and headed for class. He wondered if anyone did not know that he was back. When he found his first class he was about fifteen minutes late so after a quick tap on the door to get the teachers attention then walked in and handed her his papers. She quickly looked over then pointed to a seat that was roughly half way down the class on the inside wall. He glanced at the class as he walked to his seat. Once he was seated he took out a notebook and tried to listen to the teacher. Mike

Gina had expected it to be just another day at school. Her biggest worry had been the test in third period, but then he walked through the door and everything changed. She'd been at her locker, barely listening as her friends gossiped around her but then they all fell silent and she saw why. It had been years since she saw him last, but she recognized Mike immediately. It was hard to forget the face of someone who had bullied you for most of your childhood. Her stomach flipped and knotted as he walked past, and her friends went all abuzz. They were all aware of how she felt about her former tormentor. But then the bell rang and she had to race off to class. She could hardly focus on the teacher, getting lost in her thoughts and memories. When the door opened and Mike walked in part way through the class, she froze in her seat. She ducked her head down in her book, trying to hide herself from view. Of course, the teacher would choose the seat near her. She buried her head further down in the book, one hand tightly gripping the side of the desk as she felt her nerves beginning to fray. Hesitantly, she glanced up and watched him from the corner of her eye. Maybe he had completely forgotten about her in their years apart. Gina

After about five minutes of just taping his pencil on the page and feeling like he was being watched and knowing that it was not just a feeling he let his eyes scan the room until know one was watching him anymore. As he looked back at the teacher he stopped taping his pencil for the first time and looked over at Gina. He tilted his head for a second before he smiled softly as he started remember where he knew her from. His smile turned to a smirk as he turned in his seat and leaned over to her. What not even a hello? If I didn't know better I would say your trying to hid from me. No that can't be right cause the Gina I remember always had good manners. He kept glancing up at the teacher and just when he thought that she was going to say something to him she was called out into the hall. He then turned his full attention on Gina.
Thread: Home Coming (Fre&Hidden_muse)

Maybe he changed. People changed over time. Gina struggled not to psych herself out, focusing on the sound of his tapping pencil. He probably didn't even remember her. She'd changed too, she wasn't the same pipsqueak he could boss around. Yet all the confidence she had managed to muster vanished when she heard his voice. She froze in her spot, staring straight ahead, afraid to look at him. He couldn't do anything, not in class. Her eyes were trained on the teacher who seemed to have noticed their exchange. When she left though, Gina knew she was on her own. Slowly, Gina turned her head to look at him but avoided matching his gaze. I'm not the same Gina anymore, she muttered, putting as much bravado into her voice as she could.
Thread: Home Coming (Fre&Hidden_muse)

Mike had to stop himself from laughing at her. We will have to see about that. Just then the teacher walked back in and Mike sat in his seat properly again as she started to teach. In less than a minute he was tapping his pencil on his note book again but this time he would stop every once in awhile and he would draw something. Each time he stopped the page got fuller and as he went it looked like he was putting together a puzzle as he jumped from section to section but with each section he completed it the bigger picture came into view. He did this until the end of class and when the bell rang he stood up and started to leave the classroom only to be stopped by the teacher and lead into her office. He thought that she knew about his history with Gina but after she closed the door and they both were seated she started to talk about how hard it can be for someone when they loose a parents but that it was good to see that he was trying to make friends already. Mike nodded when he was supposed to but he had to keep a smirk off his face. He couldn't believe that the teacher was thick enough to think that he was trying to make a friend. He asked if he could go and after second of hesitation the teacher nodded and he left the room heading for his next class and then lunch.
Thread: Home Coming (Fre&Hidden_muse)

A look of wariness crept into Gina's eyes at Mike's reply, but before she could demand an explanation, class was started again. She stared blankly at the chalkboard during the rest of the class. All she could focus on was the incessant tapping coming from the desk beside her. Each time she thought she might snap from the noise and break his pencil in two, he would stop and draw. Try as she might to eye the picture, she couldn't make out the image from her angle, at least without showing her interest. Time dragged on until the bell rang. Between obsessing over the sound of his pencil and keeping bad childhood memories at bay, each minute seemed like torture. With the first ring, Gina was out of her chair and out the door. She spent her time dodging her friend's questions about Mike, not wanting to say just how upset she was. Honestly, she just wanted to forget he was even here. When lunch came, Gina held back from following the herd of students into the cafeteria. Still avoiding all of her friends' concerns, she dodged into the bathroom and waited until she could grab a few moments of peace in the hallway. Her locker was nearby, so she stopped there to grab some notes for the test she had coming up. Studying would be the perfect distraction to keep her wandering mind focused.

Mike started to recognize a few faces here and there as he walked to his next class. Once he was in class he sat at the back and finished his drawing and ended up reconnecting with a friend that he had not seen or talked to since moving away. But when Class ended and he tried to leave he was stopped again by the teacher. He almost walked away anyway but he knew that if he did that his first day they would pay even more attention to him which was the last thing he wanted so he stayed and spoke with the teacher for a few minutes about what he had already learned at his last school. A few minutes later he walked out of the class and was heading down the hall to his locker when he glanced down an intersecting hall and saw Gina. He smirked and started walking towards her. He looked around for security cameras but he did not see any at that point. When he got to her locker he leaned up against the one beside it as he gazed at her. So, when do I get my personal tour of the school and the town? He looked completely serious as he asked even though he was just saying it to see what her reaction would be.

Absorbed in her notes, she failed to see him approaching before his shoes came into view. Gina looked up, startled by the interruption. Her face fell at the sight of him. She snapped her notebook shut and held it tightly held it to her chest. I wouldn't hold my breath, she replied, but still found herself unable to meet his eyes. She looked just beyond his shoulder, eyes flitting back to his gaze for only a few seconds at a time. You haven't been gone long enough to forget, anyway. She added as an afterthought, a twinge of disappointment in her voice. If only he had been gone longer. Reaching into her locker, she withdrew her bag and pulled it over her shoulder. She closed her locker quickly, obviously in a flustered rush to leave. Her hands worked clumsily as she took her notebook and jammed into into her messenger bag, bending the pages in her hurry. I have a test I need to go study for, she explained as she turned to leave, and you should go eat lunch before they stop serving.
Thread: Home Coming (Fre&Hidden_muse)

Mike saw how nervous she was and laughed when she stuffed her notebook into her bag. I won't be the one holding my breath G. As she turned to leave he stood up and grabbed his shoulder as he took a step forward and pulled her back. Watch your mouth Gina. You might think your all tough now but that can change fast. He looked at her for a few seconds then turned and walked away. As he rounded the corner he smiled to himself. He was going to have fun with her and who knows he might end up having lass with her after lunch. He knew he had gym and science after lunch and he was not sure which one he would rather have with her if he was lucky enough. After dropping his stuff off at his locker he went to the cafeteria and grabbed some food before going to a table and sitting with some of his old friends.

Gina waited until Mike rounded the corner before she leaned back against her locker with an audible sigh. It seemed her fears were confirmed, he hadn't changed. She hated the way he still had any sway over her emotions. Shaking her head with annoyance aimed at herself, she shoved away from the locker and walked down the hall. 'Get a grip,' she told herself. He might not have changed, but she had. That had to count for something. Too upset to eat lunch, she went straight to history class. Might as well cram as much as she could before the test. However, once the class started, she found herself distracted. She turned the test in with further built up frustration, knowing she wouldn't get the grade she had been aiming for. With the end of the school day fast approaching, she was eager to head to gym and release some of her frustrations. As she headed to the locker room, she complained to her friends about the test. Her mood felt as though it might be improving. School almost done and no other classes with Mike. She quickly changed into her gym clothes and headed to the gymnasium to idly shoot a few basketballs before class started.

After lunch Mike headed for his science class. Within five minutes he realized that he had been taught all of this already so he took out his note book and finished off his drawing. When he walked out of the class his pockets were heavier than before since he had been able to steal a few ounces of a few different chemicals, mostly explosive ones. He walked to gym after dropping his things off at his locker. He talked with the teach for a few minutes then went into the changing rooms just before Gina walked out. After he was changed he walked into the gym and smirked when he saw that one of the girls that Gina was talking with he had been eyeing at lunch. He headed over to the basket of balls making sure his t-shirt covered the tattoo that ran down his spine but to his annoyance either the top tip or the bottom tip would be showing. He grabbed a basketball and walked to the half court and being careful to use the right amount of power he shot from half court and sunk the ball into the basket that Gina and her friends were at then started walking towards them to get his ball back.
Thread: Home Coming (Fre&Hidden_muse)

Just as she had lined up her next shot, a ball came flying overhead and into the basket. Gina turned to see who had the good aim and blanched at the sight of Mike. Her grip on the basketball tightened. With a flippant humph, she whipped back around towards the basket. However, from the corner of her eye, she spotted her friend Allie scurrying to pick up Mike's ball. Gina recognized the look on Allie's face, the flirtatious grin pulling at the corner of her mouth. With a bit more force then intended, she shot the ball at the basket. It smacked against the backboard and came bouncing back towards her. She was too busy giving Allie an annoyed glare to notice the ball as it rolled past her. Her friend ignored the look, picking up Mike's ball and holding it out for him to come grab.
Thread: Home Coming (Fre&Hidden_muse)

Mike barely stopped himself from laughing when he saw Gina's reaction to seeing him. When he saw her friend scramble to go and pick up his ball he chuckled under his breath a bit. He realized that she was going to make this so much easier for him. He picked up Gina's ball as it rolled passed her then stopped only for a second as he shot the ball and bounced it off the backboard before it fell into the basket. Gina try not to use as much power it should help. He had to work hard to sound like he was actually trying to help even though he knew full well that she had missed horrible because he was there. He focused his attention on her friend as he walked past Gina. When he got to her he smiled and reached out to take his ball. Thanks, I saw you at lunch didn't I? He made sure to let his fingers brush hers gently as he took his ball back. I'm Mike by the way. He smiled again then leaned forward a bit to whisper into her ear. Don't mind Gina she has always blown our teasing out of proportion. She just never liked when I teased back. He pulled back from her so he could see if she actually believed him.
Thread: Home Coming (Fre&Hidden_muse)

Gina's refused to watch his ball go into the basket. Again. Her ears told her well enough that it did. Thanks for the advice, she muttered darkly, eyes narrowing as she watched the exchange between Allie and Mike. She cast a worried glance at her other friends, but saw they were intent on practicing their rebounds. Without their support, she could only watch with concern as Allie began to flirt with Mike openly. Allie blushed at Mike with a smile. You're a good shot, Mike. Sorry I didn't come introduce myself at lunch. I'm Allie. She leaned in toward him as he whispered in her ear, chuckling softly. Oh Gina's never been a fan of being teased, she replied. You know, she really hates you though. But I don't see what there is to hate. She gave him a large grin and touched his forearm. Maybe I can put in a good word for you with her..
