    Does Anyone Else Feel Labeless?

    I don't know that it's a case of giving words too much power to me as much as it is based on my own experiences with various communities. I was pretty involved with atheist and skepticism communities early on in my college youth and I still value those experiences and the close friends I've...

    Does Anyone Else Feel Labeless?

    I think there may be some confusion here. I am not arguing for the abolishing of labels. I am not arguing everyone should stop using labels all together. In fact, I use many labels to describe myself. But not everyone has a label for every aspect of their life and all times of their life...

    Could anyone offer me some advice?

    I don't really know much about either spirituality, but unless there's some rule that you have to choose one or the other, I don't know why you can't just incorporate elements from both. You can keep the aspects of Satanism that appealed to you and not have to adhere to the aspects that no...

    Does Anyone Else Feel Labeless?

    This describes how I feel about religious labels perfectly. I also think when you slap a label onto your beliefs, it becomes more tempting to associate your label with the Truth and then it can enable you to become more arrogant and sometimes overly aggressive and potentially hurtful to others...

    Does Anyone Else Feel Labeless?

    In some ways using a label was convenient but in other ways it wasn't. I remember many times when I identified as an atheist, conservative Christians kept insisting I was secretly an agnostic because of some ideological argument they were trying to make. So even when I had a label, people...

    Do you live for your glory or God's glory

    I don't know whether or not there is a god, so all I can do is treat others with love and kindness as I would want to be treated, and hope that any god that exists is also loving and kind and would be compassionate to my lack of understanding.

    Fire & Brimstone Deism

    I feel like this is a bit too much of an either/or situation. It could be just as possible there is a god of some sort but still no afterlife for humans. On the other hand, it could be possible for humans to have an afterlife or something like reincarnation, but there is some other force...

    It said that I am 100% strong agnostic and 86% deist.

    Does Anyone Else Feel Labeless?

    As I mentioned in my introduction thread, I was raised a Christian and then throughout much of my college youth I identified with atheism. I later experimented with progressive Christianity but nothing really feels like it sticks with me. I feel like I have too many doubts about biblical...

    Sailor Moon is still my personal favorite but I also really love Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Escaflowne, all the big classics, and I feel like I'm always trying to get caught up with new shows.

    Historicity Of Christ?

    I believe there was a historical Jesus who maybe was a good preacher who got himself killed preaching against the religious fundamentalists of his day and then his followers embellished the details with a lot of fantastic miracles and legends. That's a simple enough explanation to me and I...

    If You Don't Believe In A God, What Are Your Reasons For Living?

    With life, we have a general idea of what we're getting from living. I don't believe anybody knows what's going to happen to us when we die. If there is an afterlife, it could be even worse than this one for all we know. So it's better to keep on going in this life when right now there's more...

    Your beliefs of Afterlife?

    I don't know what will happen to us after we die. I just try to live my life the best that I can and try to make the world a better place and hope for the best.

    Hi, everyone! I'm a new member here! I was introduced to this forum by my good friend Windwalker! Some background on me is I was raised a conservative Christian but I deconverted to atheism in my early college days. I was really big into atheism for a long time. Then I started exploring...
