Are you religious?

As in a higher being or as in other intelligent life in this universe?

 

It is extremely difficult to explain my beliefs in a few sentences (also because I spent about 15 years of my life "searching" )

 

If anybody has the time and patience, here is what my beliefs are based on:

 

1)Buddhism

2)Advaita Vedanta

3)Taoism

I didn't find a satisfactory site about Taoism. Similarly, it is always very difficult to find a good translation in a modern Western language of the Tao Te Ching, the main Taoist text. I have found just one, in Italian.

I want to be, but all evidences point to the contrary. And it's easy to bump into someone both religious and fanatical. The same can't be said about someone who doesn't believe in anything, not even the devil.

I was raised Catholic (and then later just general Christian, nondenominational of sorts I guess), however now I dont really believe in many Christian things. I do believe in a God. I do believe in being a good person, however in a lot of ways I reject the Christian heaven or hell (based on being "saved" or good deeds). I, like many others in this thread respect the beliefs of others (unless they are a scientologist, then I send them this video: http://theunfunnytruth.ytmnd.com/ )

If you don’t have a PS3 compatible-video file, you could download the PS3 Video Converter or DVD to PS3 Converter from www.mp4-converter.net and convert your un-compatible video files to PS3 MP4 video

i don't wonder anymore about if there is a god or not

 

i have been asking myself if this would make a difference to me an my life, and it doesn't, so i just don't care about it anymore.

I have been reading a few times "extremism", well I also don't support any sort of extremism, which hurts other people, physcally or mentally/emotionaly.

But if you think about it, you can achieve something really good (near perfect) only if you are "extreme". And again, not in a way to blow oneself up or kill other people.

A programmer stays up two nights in a row to finish a program, isn't that a bit extreme? (just as an example...)
