  • I mean the movement of Confucius more than the cult of personality that developed around him. :) So Tiān as a God as opposed to a metaphor, an afterlife exists but we cannot know the details, and honour other spirits -- but don't expect them to do everything (thus "keep at a distance"). Re. Buddha, sort of. I see him as a person who "unlocked" his Buddha nature, but I don't see him as a god or whatever. Damn you Theravāda! :D
    Yeah.

    I suppose that since I consider them to be one Divinity in many manifestations, it's not so strange either.

    But I've definitely developed a love for Confucianism. Its bureaucratic nature fits nicely with my own. :3
    Who knows, I know there's hints of it in the Ṛgveda, if I recall correctly.

    And yeah, I'd rather be with God, or the gods; or both. Probably not my ancestors so much. I'm not close to my family at all. Never have been. Closest to my brother out of all of them. I'd rather not be reincarnated or "absorbed"; I want to taste Sugar, not become it.

    I've been looking a lot at various paths; I still heavily lean to the Hindu and Buddhist pantheon, and naturally my love of Sikhi has not faded. I've also come to love Confucianism. I like Religious Taoism, where Dao is essentially Brahman. I like the Ásatrú gods, too.

    I've got a few Shenist and Shinto deities I like, but I don't consider myself an adherent.

    I see the Hellenic and Roman gods as the same source as these, but under different titles, so I indirectly honour these, and because I believe Tian = Tengri (thanks, Middle Chinese(!)) I'm indirectly linked to Tenrikyo, and Konkokyo through Shinto.

    A mess, aren't I? :D
    Kind of. I've gone off reincarnation though, for some reason I'd prefer one life. Though reincarnation still makes sense to me, I just don't think I like it, y'know?
    Those are pretty cool. I'm sort of flirting with a few paths myself, but I'm still pretty much a panentheistic Soft polytheist I guess. :)

    I would give you more frubals, but I haven't spread enough around. I just want to say that I have liked your recent threads.
    I just say to them... "Bring it on!!!" :cool:

    I'm kidding. :D However, the debate of the forums, unless for opening minds, is quite pointless and fruitless anyways. Just like alcohol... although there are negative effects from drinking alcohol, people still drink it, so as long as its in moderation. :D
    Hey man, good to see you on. :D Haven't had net for a few. Am writing in some threads, and just joined chat. Am alone again in there :D What about you? What are you up to?
