What's your religion?

My religion is Bow and Bow and Bow....

I Bow everyday, almost everyday, and i feel like God is sending me salutations ... and hopefully i may be accepted by The Diety ... i'm sending salutation to others as Mortal

There are some Guidance quotes from Prophet Mohammed and Imams, for example:

Imam Sadiq (as):
Honor is that you humble yourself to the truth when you face it.

I hate to acknowledge it, there is no God ... but God

My creed is:
There is no God but The God, and Mohammed (pbuh) is his messenger

My motto is: Whatever helps us get through this life in as positive and healthy a manner possible without infringing on anyone else's right to do the same as they see fit without infringing on anyone else's right to do so.

Sounds like it's working for you.

It's hard to believe that we still have people and places in the world that force their beliefs on others. Shame, shame, shame.

I would have to say I'm spiritual but not religious. Agnostic I suppose. I don't think any current religion(s) have it correct or have any actual definitive proof of god(s) or an afterlife. But I think they all mean well and all offer some very great lessons and insights into the human condition. I've had experiences in my life that were profound and can only be described as spiritual moments. I don't think anyone knows what happens after death, but I think it would be a shame if this is it.
 
I would very much like for this to be the end. I can't be happier about death and the cycle of life, okay maybe pity the cycle of life and suffering but I don't fear death per se. It's only a brain process, before we die we hallucinate and there's nothing to fear. Nothing outside of the pain of old age or a lengthy painful death.

Another life ruled by abusive man created deities is ridiculous but also would be a definite drag. I'd take life on Earth anyday over rulers of it all, the psychopathy in the world is high enough as it is, don't crave more control of myself and my mother land.

I have sympathy for your views on this subject. You mention "man created deities", but it would be accurate to add "life ruled by abusive Man" (ie humans who control, oppress, exploit, harm, subjugate, kill others for their own selfish gain). < This is what I find to to be the most sad and most pathetic about a small number of our species that abuse the powers they currently have. They deserve no respect or admiration. The reality we're presented and led to accept is built entirely on deception and lies.

The sad part is that it doesn't have to be this way. As a species, we have the knowledge, technology and the capability to actually work together to solve and avoid very serious and widespread global problems. Actually ending hunger, war, poverty, exploitation, pollution, homelessness, global criminal enterprise, on and on. Instead, the human world that we live in is essentially a prison planet where everyone is held down; even those in power who are imprisoned by their own greed and their own layer upon layer of fear and madness are prisoners of their own making.

My religion for lack of a better word is the religion of what could be, here on earth. It does not have to be this way. We're capable of so much better.

Yeah, I just can't imagine ever being one of those people who try to force others to believe the same as I do.

Both because it's not in my nature to be like that and also I don't think forcing someone to believe in the same religion as you do would be viewed as valid in the eyes of whatever deity (or deities) you believe in.

It's built on deception, lies and it'll never stop. Corruption will find a way. As the world advances, people awaken from the lies as more and more secularism takes bloom, it is the normal course of progress yet in a world of lies it is not understood.

Of course a lot of people sell their hearts blinded by the promises that can never come true. But it is wrong to not hold responsible the greedy, the ones that take advantage of honesty and the desire for purity and warp it into a tool for control and of fear towards advancement and incipient self preservation.

Most of us are bound to make mistakes before learning. Especially when we're taught to never start exploring, and told there is no other choice than what the herd proposes.

Eternal damnation is a means to keep us stuck, among many other weaknesses humans have, although man has become a better ruler than the deity he proposed, thanks to advancement, just punishment that isn't barbaric, gaining ways to understand the world many people wish to ignore but can't when we all are using the same technology and medicine, fearing progress and values when it's what makes us admirable and productive but we are confused by stories of greatness that defy the laws of the universe we're in. The grass is always greener on the other side. And surely enough we lose sight of our mother land and each other.

hard to believe that we still have people and places in the world that force their beliefs on others. Shame, shame, shame.

Anyone who proselytizes to a child as their faith is the only, forces their belief on the innocent. And judging by how much that happens when kids are immersed and even forced in the Church system I'd say it's most people and a large part of society doing this. If you think that's impressive wait til priests abuse your kids, the cases are constantly happening and that's only the known numbers of cases. Hard to think about the ones that haven't yet been prosecuted. The world advances but barbarians are lurking around with their lies behind blue eyes.

I am still waiting for god to speak for himself rather than people having a financial interest in promoting religion telling me what god wants.

Perhaps try asking Him to reveal Himself to you.
 
The way he reveals to us is through our emotions fooling our senses, it's a trick in the brain and works well to fool us into thinking something we made ourselves feel through thought, prayer, music is actually in us. What it is, is emotion and mind trick. Yes we can fool ourselves into thinking many things, magic tricks also fool the human brain to believing stuff that isn't true. But the validity of it is not scientifically accepted, in fact there are explanations in psychology for it. It's not our fault the response is fake or that we recognize it. It's not our fault for being fooled by it either, it's only human.

I get the same feelings while chanting to the moon, chanting health spells as I did with religion. Does that make witchcraft true or miracles, nope. It's normal stuff. Speaking of which I quite like some stories and music and the feelings they give me. Sometimes I feel like a rockstar but I'm not.
 
Somewhat of a progressive Christian. I was raised Catholic, but when I started questioning things at 18, I went through a big, very confused agnostic phase. Then when I decided I still believed, I shuffled through a bunch of denominations until I clicked with a United Methodist Church.

You've got a few years on me, but I've had the same experience. Also, worth noting. I've had people tell me similar things: e.g. "Listen more intently, open you heart to God, ask God for guidance, ask god to come into your heart, etc" and every time such things have been met with "crickets", it's apparently always my fault. I didn't do it correctly, I didn't try hard enough, etc.

Isn't there some definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result?

Aww. Yep, it's hurtful to find nobody listens and nobody is out there though we are so dedicated and seeking answers and spiritual growth, putting our efforts to not sin and do all these stupid rules from medieval times that nobody should care about. As a child I prayed for many things blindly believing the lies. But they didn't come true. The neighbor would actually help us if he saw we fell down, but not our supposed father? If that's our father I'd rather be without.

The mind is a jungle, to have to keep track of God besides social cues when God doesn't have a say and is playing mystery games is wasted time.
