Oddly, I can't find any topic like this on the last few pages.
What are your beliefs? Be specific: don't just say "Christian" or "Atheist". Go into some detail; touch on Hot Topics (current political/moral issues such as homosexuality and abortion come to mind), go over your morals, post-death and pre-life existence, the works. Use your imagination.
RULE: No flaming. For fuck's sake people I will kill this thread the second anybody starts to flame or hijack. You can discuss, just don't flame.
I am an agnostic. Frankly, I have a dislike for organized religion because of the self-righteous tendencies of many members of them.
Just because I'm agnostic, doesn't mean that I'm not spiritual. I do meditate and use drugs for spritual advancement; I also have strong morals.
My main moral is simply: Don't let your morals affect others, or keep your beliefs to yourself. I've seen the negative consequences of people not following this rule, and try to abide by it as often as possible.
In a less broad sense, I have no moral objections to anything a person wants to do, as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else. Can you see where I'm going with this?
I don't believe in existence before life, nor do I believe in existence after life. This is my most internally debated viewpoint; surely I would like for there to be a heaven after life, but it just doesn't seem feasible to me.
I don't believe in Creationism; perhaps because I was brought up in an agnostic household, I am biased towards science and logic as explanations for things, and heavily against attributing anything to "chance" or "faith".
I believe in social darwinism; that is, that our society should be "sink or swim". If you can't cut it, you shouldn't be given assistance (unless an individual wants to help you). Harsh, but I see too much helping of the weak going on. Obviously I don't mean physically weak or any of that crap. Use your brain.
Hot Topics: You may have discerned it already, but I am pro-abortion, pro-(whatever)sexuality, anti-gun control, anti-government (please avoid accusations of "anarkist", use your brain again), anti-socialism, pro-liberty of speech and action. These are all part of my faith.
I feel faith and politics are inextricably interwined, hence the "political" feel of my belief system.
