What is Religion? - Religion is a set of beliefs and practices agreed upon by a set of people. It seems that the aim of religious beliefs is to be the link between humanity and God.
What is Spirituality? Usually finding God within yourself or finding your connection to the divine. Can also be individually defined to mean finding inner peace or a connection with your inner self.
Do I believe in Religion? No. Why? I prefer to base my beliefs and practices on values which are in turn based on humanism, harmony and peace.
Do I believe is Spirituality? Its not a belief system for me to "believe in". Its an individuals action to be self aware and everyone should absolutely do that.
Humanists...
Think for themselves about what’s right and wrong, based on reason and respect for others.
Find meaning, beauty, and joy in the one life we have, without the need for an afterlife.
Look to science instead of religion as the best way to discover and understand the world.
Believe empathy and compassion can make the world a better place for everyone
How do I feel about someone who believes in Religion? - Long answer short, I am fine with it. The long answer is that I am more of a live and let live to the extent you arent forcing your views on me. Im not going to force my views on you either.If we can continue to live harmoniously irrespective of our beliefs then Im fine with it. the issue arises when someone feels the need to convince me that I must believe in religion and to have the opinion that religion does not define my beliefs and actions is wrong. When that happens i would not like it. Even then the problem would not be based on religion but would be based on a persons behavior unrelated to his religion. So even at that point I am still fine with their religion, just not their behavior.
Do I believe in God? - I am Agnostic. I have no opinion on his existence or lack of existence.I shy away from calling myself a full fledged atheist simply because I am limited by my knowledge. I cannot logically argue the non-existence of god .
Atrocities in the name of Religion
- terrorism
- some honor killings
- Beef ban
