What religion should someone like me follow?

Now you can be cheeky :o)~

The Church of Calm Chaos!!!!!

Cool.

I would if I did not already belong to the people in the house of TFFE. <may god have mercy upon them all..>

Cheeky geeza :o)

I mean what if someone doesn't believe in god, nor science, nor philosophy, nor what they can touch, nor what they feel (emotional or seen), nor a book.. What are they? (Except screwed...)

Calm Chaos Forums : Everyone Welcome

Please don't ask me to read back 260 posts to try and fathom an answer...

I am not religious nor agnostic nor atheist nor humanist.. Can anyone tell me what I am? <without being naughty or rude..>

I guess I am a bit stoic and a bit post modern in the way I see the world.

I think most people and most of nature moves towards the good.

I know that there has been lots of bad things that have happened but history and the fact we are still here suggests that most of what humans have done has been better than bad.

What do they wear in these "special night churches" ? Just asking

A nice poem by the German poet Christian Morgenstern, translated by Max Knight:

The Test

To set up an experiment
some money I on needles spent

and on a camel which, though old
was quite exceptionally bold.

Near me a rich man took his stand,
twain bags of gold in either hand.

The rich man did not hesitate
to knock upon the pearly gate.

St. Peter answered: "It is writ:
A needle's eye will ere permit

a camel's body to pass through
than this wide gate make way for you."

I, trusting fully God's command,
at once cajoled the creature and

displayed behind the needle's eye
a tempting piece of sugar pie.

And so indeed! Through went the brute,
although it wiggled like a newt.

The rich man, though, stared gloomily
and said no word but: "Woe is me!"

2. I argued theology with way too many preacher-men. I got a reputation for making them... uncomfortable.

I brought a Baptist preacher to tears once. After that, I wasn't allowed to go anywhere near him ( on orders of my girlfriend at the time ).

Does that put me in the " reprobate heathen " category??

Wait a minute. I thought by definition all Wraiths were heathens. Do you mean there are good christian wraiths out there ? Are churches open at night ? I have SO much to learn...

Tonight ALL churches in my home-town are open from 1900 to 0100. This "Night of the Churches" is happening every year :-)


In my former home-town Halle (S.)there is also such a "Night of the Churches" each year. Next time in August 07

15 And it is my purpose to provide for my saints, for all things are mine.

16 But it must needs be done in mine own away; and behold this is the way that I, the Lord, have decreed to provide for my saints, that the poor shall be exalted, in that the rich are made low.

17 For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare; yea, I prepared all things, and have given unto the children of men to be agents unto themselves.

18 Therefore, if any man shall take of the abundance which I have made, and impart not his portion, according to the law of my gospel, unto the poor and the needy, he shall, with the wicked, lift up his eyes in hell, being in torment.

Maybe our resident Mormon would like to chime in on this? ;)

All praise be to Allah, for he shall smite the non-believers and the wrong-believers and they shall burn in Hell and not even have the water the dogs in hell get to lap up.

FINALLY !!!! Somebody makes sense on this site.

1. I walked away from organized religion in the late '70s. I had issues with them getting involved in politics.

2. I argued theology with way too many preacher-men. I got a reputation for making them... uncomfortable.

So, you too, are a heretic? ;)

Maybe, but a case could be made that it is they who were... In fact, that is the case I was making, hence their discomfort.

the reprobate heathen.

Do not fret... There's still time... ;)

ROFLMAO

Time for what??? For me to, perhaps, be 'saved' (to use the Baptist term)? I have a very good relationship with the Creator of All that Is, Was, and Ever Shall Be, thank you very much.


I got the title 'the reprobate heathen' for two reasons.

1. I walked away from organized religion in the late '70s. I had issues with them getting involved in politics.

2. I argued theology with way too many preacher-men. I got a reputation for making them... uncomfortable.
