Are you a religious person or not?

[funnycoin]

I am not. I still don't see a good reason why I should become a religious person.

[insulter]

You'd be a happier person.  You wouldn't need to worry about real life issues - you could just stick your head in the sand and think Vod'll figure it out.

Yes I am a religious person.
I believed that God is real.

What if our perception of religion is wrong. What if its a guide on how to live so you can live fore-ever, but not through a external judgement. You know right from wrong so every time you feel bad through your actions you littlle by little weakening your soul or life force or whatever you want to call it. Bigger the wrong the bigger the loss. I doubt a perfect creation cant have that builtin. So maybe the what religion or the who's who in it is not the point at all, but rather the how to live. But mostly people tend to "believe" they are right and to be right somebody else must be wrong. And doing bad things in the name of good is acheiving something other than damning themselves.  

Problem with the bolded part is that sociapaths and psychopaths don't have this psychological feature* to the extent you are talking about or at all. And sometimes it works in reverse--there are people who get as excited as someone talking about their favorite Christmas memory when they are reminiscing the torture and murder of someone.

*A part of the brain creates moral feelings and can be manipulated in the lab using an EMP. It also functions differently within each person naturally. So if god created man, he or she or it did so without giving humans an equal moral compass.

Free will is lost with religion, carry on being sheep  

All religions contradict each other with nonsense aimed at thos who cannot think for themselves.
Please wake up out of your slumber, I suppose you believe in politicians too.

Some people are two faced (hypocrites) they join the armed forces then go kill/murder another human.

Go read the EvilBible

the problem with religion is that it stopped fulfilling its purpose to humanity when science took off. Religion is stuck in the dark ages.

If you you really want religion to be of benefit to you, do not pay attention to any dogmatic bullshit. Instead, you must become a scholar and do the actual research. This is not for the weak-minded or faint-hearted. If you do not like having your beliefs challenged, this is not for you. Perform alchemy on religion. Do the work. Religion in modern culture as it stands is for the lazy.

Thw best type of alchemy comes from within, when you have become, and understand that part of the whole universe you are.
Self being, self aware without being told or taught, then you have you very own and very private form of religion.
It's good to know your self, when you just know.

Master of your own religion or a slave to someone else's.

I like that. 

[Rezonans969]

I was not always a believer , but at some point with me that something had happened to me and that no one was pushing , I'm a 100% believer and I am sure that the right people themselves will find their faith !
 PS: Sorry for my english ...

[bill gator]

[usairx]

I believe in superior beings, but I'm still trying to understand what was before the first big bang,my actual idea is a time paradox.

time is not linear

I imagine a toroidal shape could explain a universe contracting while simultaneously expanding

applied to space-time it makes alot more sense than what they preach in grade school

[arwani1985]

yes
