[QUOTE="_paranorma, post: 67719, member: 3951"] I'm interested to see where this thread can go ! There are so many different religions, I dont' think it's fair to depict which is the [I]right[/I] one. (I'm sure someone will have something to say about this lol). I personally was raised with a "non-practicing"(I say this because as far back as I can remember she didn't go to church, but still stayed/stays true to her beliefs in God) Irish catholic mother, who went to catholic elementary and highschool. She never forced it on my brother or I, which now I thank her for. When I was younger though, I always felt a bit lost when everyone had "something" to beleive in and I was just confused. A game changer for me was when I chose to take a world religiong class my juniour year of highschool. We literally discussed and researched nearly every religion. The one I enjoyed the most however, was buddhism. It pretty much presents [I]you[/I] as being [I]your [/I]own god; which I find incrediby empowering. The basic philosophy is to lead a moral life, and let everything that comes your wake sink in to help you gain wisdom you may have not if you looked ignorantly the other way. Pretty much respect the universe and everything in it! Of course there are dieties; and of course BUDDHA, who people pay respects to-but never worship. A key practice comes in the form of meditation, which I find increddibly relaxing. It allows you to become one with yourself and the people/things that surround you. Although, I highly doubt in this society complete nirvana is hard to come by. I try to live by these guidelined everyday; not because of the religious side of it, but because to anyone with a good set of morals knows that respecting the people in your life is the right thing to do. This isn't me trying to promote buddhism, just trying to show that you don't need a "God" to live a life of fulfiillment-all you need is yourself, and that should be enough. :) [/QUOTE]
