God

[SilversLightning]

Do you believe there is a god? Do you believe in God? Are you 'religious' in anyway? What type of religion do you follow? Does that religion have a concept of God? What is your concept of God?

I believe there is a god but I believe the ultimate God has a sadistic sense of humor and likes to torture people sometimes. Othertimes God can be a pretty nice guy....when he wants to be

Anywho, yeah I believe in GOD, but weirdly I believe that there are many other 'gods' now that I've gotten into studying stuff like Hinduism and Egyptology. I just think it's easier to remember one though so I only concentrate on God, but I'm not completely turned off the idea that there might be others.

I was baptized Roman Catholic, but don't practice it at all anymore :/ People think I'm Jewish. Sometimes I humor them and say I am XD. I'm now just some sort of Christian since I think Jesus is still the awesome sauce but I don't like the idea of a church because they screw things up too easily and don't stick to their guns.

My concept of God is weird. I image God being someone like House in personality or just really sarcastic. But my concept of God is more like I don't see God as He or She but more or less just GOD.

What's your take?

I consider myself a spiritually-involved but utterly anti-religious.

I used to consider myself a deiist, but that's not really accurate either. Deiism still implies a sentient god of some sort, which I personally don't believe in. My concept of god is best described by the Gurdjieffian term of 'Trogoautoegocrat - the process by which everything in the universe is the way it is'. So, a process that underlies everything, and by virtue of being a process - it doesn't love or hate anyone, it doesn't speak and it doesn't listen when you talk to it. (Yes, god is an 'it' in my view and it is also never capitalized).

Otherwise I'm furiously against religious dogma, of all sorts. I've got a lot of respect for religious teachings, selectively so - especially Buddhist and Christian. In fact I consider myself very much a true Christian in the way of my living philosophy, except that my idea of a true Christian is very different from what pretty much any church (except possibly the Quakers) would tell you. My idea of Christianity has a lot more common with basic Buddhism than religious Christianity as such.

Philosophically, I'm certainly closest to Nietzsche - and no, that's not the Nietzsche that others describe but Nietzsche in his own words and without the 'baggage' of faulty interpretations that have been stuck on the poor guy.

Oh, to answer the question, I'm agnostic. There may or may not be a god, I don't know. I am pretty fucking sure that if there is a god none of the religions have it right though.

I used to escape the whole 'religious debate' by saying I'm agnostic, but I'm really not, either. I like the pragmatic nature of agnosticism, but by now I've got my mind more or less made up.

Agnostics, admittably, are the easiest people to deal with on the religious front, for someone like me. Atheists are easy for me to side with in anti-religious debates, but ironically when the dust settles I've actually got plenty of disagreements with pure atheists, too.
