    Poll: DIR Forums

    What I meant is if people don't which DIR forums you are a part of, answering this poll will clarify which ones you're in. Some people join a DIR and never post in it, like I did with Non-Revealed Religions DIR. It is obvious yes, but some people have more reasons to be part of a DIR other than...

    Poll: Religious Rituals

    By tithing/almsgiving what I really meant is if you donate to your church as a ritual it should be included. Typically (good) religions will take money from tithing and almsgiving and give it to the poor. If you directly give money or food to the poor as a ritual and on a continuous basis, just...

    Poll: DIR Forums

    There is a thread in the intro forum here that asks which religion you are. I find several issues with that poll. It focuses on established religions and nearly 50% of people said either nonreligious or other, myself included. The DIR forums have a broader reach overall and pretty much everybody...

    What do you think of this?

    Death is such a common thing and it's so simple that websites like this one violates Occam's Razor in explaining what actually happens after death. In a way, I do too, but only because I extremely extrapolate reality. I really don't believe anything on that website. Christian propaganda.

    Poll: Favorite Ways to Read Literature

    Since there is an entire forum here on RF dedicated to literature, I was hoping we could have a discussion on the ways people consume it. I have an Audible account and have several dozen audiobooks purchased, although I have only listened to a few of them in their entirety, I prefer the...

    Poll: Religious Rituals

    This is true, however, I was thinking about all the times I go to a Christian church and they take eucharist or communion. I get it that most people don't get baptized or go through religious confirmation twice, but there are some religions in particular that have several sacraments that start...

    Poll: Religious Rituals

    I was thinking about you (and several other atheists) on this forum when I made the "none of the above" option. When I included yoga I meant it as a religious ritual, not for secular reasons. Go ahead, Christine, choose "none of the above". It's calling you. And honestly, I didn't even consider...

    Poll: Religious Rituals

    "Going to service" is there and when I wrote that it meant anything involving service, including attending it.

    Poll: Religious Rituals

    According to 25% of people from Religious Forums, rites and rituals are one of the most important parts of their religious practice. So, I'm making a thread dedicated to that exact premise. Listed above is nine very general religious rituals that are performed by many different religions...

    What musical artist/band do you think is overrated?

    I agree with several of the people here who said The Beatles. The were good, revolutionary for their time, but since everybody copies their style they don't feel as unique as they probably were in the 60's. Taylor Swift had some pretty good albums, and then there was reputation and Midnights...

    Do you forgive (the Abrahamic) God?

    There is no "Father" figure in cosmology. The Omniverse / Multiverse / Universe isn't human. Forces are what they are without the need of human-like avatars to set them up. Entropy itself broke things down, because there were real forces involved in that. The trinitarian view I have isn't...

    Do you forgive (the Abrahamic) God?

    Let me say though, that even though Entropy is the reason why evil exists, and that Entropy is part of my trinitarian view of God, I still forgive it, because Entropy was the thing that broke down the Omniverse into much smaller forces. If Entropy didn't exist everything would still be part of...

    Do you forgive (the Abrahamic) God?

    I forgive Entropy for its transgressions, because nothing would exist without it. I cannot forgive a God that should know better than to declare a tribe of people his chosen ones, his murderous rampage that left millions dead and the jealously this God has for us. This God isn't omnibenevolent...

    Your Childhood Religion vs. Now

    I was raised without religion. But since I became an adult I've been shifting in and out of various religions, mostly to be around a community. My parents don't understand why I do it but I do and I still want to be part of that ecosystem. I wonder if I'll be the only one who chooses option...

    How Often Do You Think About God?

    My primary crush in high school was a girl that never paid any attention to me, but for years upon years I have focused so much on her that there wouldn't be a day which I'd not think about her. But ever since I got my tattoos, been married to God in that sense, that girl has been on my mind a...

    Brain Droppings

    God and Reality While I have thought about making an entire thread dedicated to this, I thought it would be better to create a journal entry here to explain what I see is the difference between God and reality. Both of these are fairly easy to understand, but use different terminology to...

    Poll: The best argument against God, capital G.

    You know, even though I use the terms reality and God synonymously, I pretty much always use the term God with a capital G. Sometimes I even capitalize Reality too, and, The Omniverse, Entropy and Extropy. These are important concepts to me. But I know what God you are referring to. The...

    My beliefs are in their infancy.

    Funny enough collective enlightenment and morality sounds like the opposite of anarchism. Besides that, this seems pretty reasonable to me. Good luck finding yourself, my friend.

    Poll: what if proof of no God?

    This idea of "proving there is no God" is preposterous. The belief that God exists in more of an opinion than it is a fact of any kind. I refuse to answer this poll because the assumptions made by Eddi in the original post is ridiculous. Yes, I am an atheist when it comes to a God that is...
