What are your thoughts on the concept of having faith in a Higher Power but choosing to distance oneself from established religious doctrines?
is this an ad?

I believe every extremist is touchy. Fuck religion!
Teleportation, especially if you can take anyone with you. I'll be traveling the world without passport and go back home anytime I want.
I wish you well
Smart glasses.
I was raised in a very religious family. It's very hard to break free but I have decided to go on my own path.
This general dev account can sign any ipa?
I'm not exactly an atheist but sometimes agnostic. I believe in higher power but I don't believe in divine intervention.
What is best? Best for physical exercise? Best for real world fighting?
Real debrid is the way
Not close and we don't talk to each other much. We have abusive parents. Both physical and mental.
What do you mean by healing process?
Having read your post, I'm thinking of giving up alcohol. I've just consumed my tenth drink and yet, surprisingly, feel no effects.
Yeah, I mean what if heaven and hell do not exist?
You're right. I just wanna be human.
Thanks for your insight
I strongly agree that religious establishments are creations of humans. Even if the claims within religious canons are true, the religion and texts are all interpretations by flawed human beings, and the rituals practiced were invented by them. Growing up in a religious family, I understand how easy it is to be indoctrinated into a certain faith. I believe that early exposure to religion can have a corrupting effect on our minds.
Deism is a great reference. It's awesome tho think that some leaders and thinkers from the past also shared similar ideas. The idea of a higher power that doesn’t meddle in the day-to-day but set the universe in motion definitely resonates with my thoughts. It's like being part of a grand design, but having the freedom to navigate it in our own unique ways. It's always enlightening to link personal beliefs with historical philosophies. Makes you feel part of a bigger conversation, doesn't it?
I still believe that everything has its creator, and creator has its own creator.
I just wanna share my love to the universe. I believe in oneness. I just don't believe in any of religions.
Man, that's some deep stuff you're sharing. The whole 'tiny part of something huge' vibe really puts things in a new light, doesn't it? Kinda like realizing you're just one pixel in a giant picture.
Reading about your journey away from Mormonism and your take on organized religion is super interesting. It's wild to think how one person's ideas can snowball into something that affects so many. And your point about the Abrahamic Covenant? it's really a mind-bender!
Totally agree on the whole making-your-own-path thing. It's awesome to bump into others carving out their own routes too. It's like a big, messy, beautiful DIY project where everyone's figuring it out as they go along.
Yup, I don't believe in divine intervention.
I have a different perspective—I don't believe that God intervenes in anything. If there is a God/Gods, I think they simply created the universe and set everything in motion.
Thanks mate! I've been studying Islam, Christianity (my family is religious but tolerates different beliefs, so I have a mix of both worlds), as well as Buddhism. However, none of these religions really grabbed my attention.
Well let me ask you this: how specifically would it not be okay?
Great question! For me, it's not about it being okay or not in the traditional sense. I just feel that spirituality can be a personal journey that doesn't necessarily require the framework of an organized religion. It's like taking a road trip without a map - sometimes the discoveries you make on your own are the most meaningful. I believe in being a good human, guided by my own understanding of a higher power, morals, and the world around me. It's about finding my own path and respecting others' paths too. What's your take on this?
What apps do you use to stream realdebrid on iPad? I have a realdebrid account but I have to use Kodi to stream.
Lol, for real though, if deliciousness determined the fate of species, we’d live in a wild world. Imagine sophisticated tuna cities getting raided for sushi. Thank goodness we don’t snack on concrete, or we’d all be living in tents. We’re basically the galaxy’s weirdos who eat anything that doesn’t eat us first. 😆
Lol! The best way
I feel you. I still go to mosque if it is because of my parents and families.
Got it
One of my son is atheist and I am ok with it.
I do believe in God, I just don't believe on divine intervention.
i've been on Firefox in the last 8 years. i don't even know what's going on in Chrome and other browsers lol.
