My 3yr old hangs out w his grandma on weekends. She all about Jesus and is brainwashing him i think.

She knows that my older boy already said god isnt real so i think shes pushing jesus onto the younger one.

He randomly asked me to hold his hand then he closed his eyes and said "Father god thank you for all my toys."

I'm a Muslim

I grew up athiest, came to Allah in 2006, but started getting really serious about it in 2017

For all we know God couldve just been a creator. With only power to create. Or we could really be misled into thinking its only one deity worth praying too.

never heard of Omnism before seeing this thread.. interesting shit and seems to fall in line partially with how I felt towards religion..

I always thought it was silly how ALL religions claimed to be the one and ONLY way but yet all had similarities or have the same roots/origins

Just curious no judgements here. I assume most folks gonna be Christian but let's see. I identify as Gnostic personally and am just on a different type of time completely lol.

But are y'all truly tolerant of people of other beliefs are do they get the slight side eye depending on what it is?

What's your limit if any as far as someone's belief whether acquaintance, friend, or family before the 'cut off' is considered?

Is spouse/significant other required to have same belief?

Just an overall place to kick thoughts around on subject matter really.

 

[L.L.R.J.]

Christian (I know it gets heavily criticized). They are things I agree and don’t agree about it but no one is perfect. I just wish black Christians would use common sense in certain situations

 

[SeaSnake]

Christian but not really. We didn’t do church like that we had bibles but I never read the whole thing. As I got older I learned about other religions and the Old Testament through some classes at community college so I got a lil bit from just a student view and not a church one. Realized a lot of religions have stark differences but a lot of stuff is more cultural than religious. Made me feel like God definitely exists even though I never had any doubt. But made me feel like nobody’s understanding is fully right or wrong. So I never became a person saying Jesus is fake or anything like that.

What you getting at about common sense in certain instances, related to the church or what?

Yeah comparative religious and mythology studies is something I'm into heavy. I've personally found that most beliefs around planet overlap and connect like a web.

Meh

I think nihilists reject all moral principles

I don’t, just the fairy tales they use to reinforce them

 

[Golan]

Agnostic Theist

 

[Loquacious]

believe there is a higher power but don’t do religion.

And the fucked up part is that the 'fairy tales' they use really has ancient knowledge embedded in it going over most heads. Masses not given given the real

Let me give you an example. Say you’re a 26 year old black man living in an apartment in Dallas. You’re eating a bowl of ice cream when you hear someone trying to enter your place, thinking it’s theirs. You get up to see why some white woman thinks that’s her home and as you open your door, she shoots you dead. She’s charged with murder and is convinced but only gets 10 years in prison because your little brother is a Christian and has decided to turn the other cheek. Yea that’s very Christian like but that couldn’t be me. Forgive every time? No but that’s what white people love throwing at our faces: to forgive all the time. I hate that

[Mister Breeze]

Agnostic Theist

This.

I identify as Agnostic Theist, meaning I do believe there is a higher power out there, I just have no clue what it may or may not be.
