Your beliefs in 100 words

...or less. I imagine there have been several of these type of threads already, but I've looked back and can't see any for a while.
Use bullet points, a diagram, whatever you like but the idea is to keep it as succinct but as clear and complete as possible.

 

[Gaura Priya]

One God - There is one transcendent mystery which all cultures affirm and speak of

One Religion - All forms of religion are in actuality one religion, since we are all humans with a personal path to understanding transcendence

One Humanity - All of us are, or should think, that all are one country, and that all humanity are its citizens


"To be a Baha'i simply means to love all the world; to love humanity and try to serve it; to work for universal peace and universal brotherhood."

-- 'Abdu'l-Baha

 

[bobhikes]

All proofs for gods existance are valid for the individual that did the proof.

All groupings of individuals cause harm.

Individuals need to realize and promote the great diversity of individuals to better the world.

The Bible.

 

[horizon_mj1]

Truth and fact are the inarguable basis in which knowledge's foundation is laid. To deny this will lead to circumstance placed upon those who "choose" not to forbear the undeniable existence of all relevance within both known and unknown universes.

This is the closest I could come to with the word limitation. I know it may sound complex; believe me, it is for me as well or I would not be a member of this forum.

 

[No Good Boyo]

Do whatever it is that makes you happy providing you’re not hurting anyone else in the process. If someone doesn’t like that, it’s their tough luck. Be the best you can be, raise your kids well, and enjoy you life cos it’s the only one you’re going to get.

 

[Revoltingest]

S***** happens.
Then we argue about meaning read into it.

(Repeat the above 10 times.)

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Truth is better than falsehood.
Understanding is better than ignorance.
Efficiency is better than wastefulness.

99% of my worldview/opinions/beliefs probably result from these 3 tenets.

 

[The Sum of Awe]

I believe in the Force that goes by many names (Tao, Zen, Holy Spirit, etc). This Force is within and around us all.

I believe that humans are animals also.

I believe Good is the lack of Evil, meaning that I'd rather be in solitary than be tormented by others.

I believe that you should live a short, fun life over a long, boring life.

God does exist.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

 

[jarofthoughts]

I'll do it in four: Show Me The Evidence!

 

[Morpheus]

We are in this physical realm to learn, grow and evolve.
We do this by being challenged and tested.
Our progress is defined by the choices we make as a result of these challenges and tests.
If we choose love, we evolve - if we choose hatred, we stagnate and waste away.
Love moves us closer to God, anything other than love moves us away from God.

 

[Penumbra]

Promote reason and compassion.
Assertions require justification.
Knowledge should be sought.
Freedom of speech and expression is paramount.

When in doubt, perform compassionate action without attachment.

 

[blackout]

Know mySelf.
Live True to mySelf.
'Become'/'Real'Ize my Ultra Self. My Ka.
Be creative about it.
- Xeper and Remanifest-
Be an encouragement to others
to know and live true to their own Selves.
Live Life Alive!
Suspension of disbelief
is a lot more fun (and useful) than belief.
(my opinion)
Spell (Word) and Cast (World).
(my passion)

Easy...

You are more than you dare to imagine in your wildest dreams.
When you know yourself, you will understand me much better.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

Everyone must be true to themselves and discover what truth is to them. Like the Buddha said: be your own light.

 

[Twig pentagram]

I don't have beliefs I have thoughts.

As Royal Falcon of God has provided my serious answer and as I have no respect for the 100 word rule-
"ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN" by Robert Fulghum
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school.
These are the things I learned:

• Share everything.
• Play fair.
• Don't hit people.
• Put things back where you found them.
• Clean up your own mess.
• Don't take things that aren't yours.
• Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
• Wash your hands before you eat.
• Flush.
• Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
• Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
• Take a nap every afternoon.
• When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
• Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
• Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
• And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
