Which religion do you like?

[GeoffP]

How the hell did he just spell that?

[Saturnine Pariah]

I know you like yours one most. I am asking other than this one. My religion is Islam and I like Christianity, Buddhism except my one. If you are an atheist than need not come here and reply.

Atheist, and just try to stop me! religions poison everything.

I know it is a teaching of the hindu religion.

I prefer resurrection into eternal life. None of that going through this world again and again and again and again caper. Once is enough for me.


All Praise The Ancient Of Days

Why not come as much as possible if nothing else but to help those in need?

I'd like to believe in reincarnation, but I'm worried that the Judeo-Christian perspective might be right. Nothing concrete, just experiences. Once, for example, I saw St. Cuthbert's face in a jelly doughnut.

And, BTW, it is indeed "doughnut", not fucking "donut". Do not 'donut', all right? I'm looking at you, Americans.

What worries you about Heaven?

[Merlijn]

I like Taoism the best. Maybe I even am a Taoist. Problem is that labels tend to attract unintended connotations.

I have a problem with the notion of Heaven (as it is used most commonly). If Heaven is to mean an etherial (non-material) reality in which souls can live in bliss for all eternity, I see several problems.
The main problem is the non-material aspect: to me, dualism is one of the biggest flaws in thinking about the world.

Who said Heaven was non-materilistic?

[Merlijn]

Nobody did. But to my best understanding, most theists would say Paradise (or something similar) if they are referring to a ideal material world.

Heaven is for all good life forms, material will belong. C'mon. You don't wanna hear me jam on my guitar?

Heaven is different. In several religions. Like I heard some say that you got to go through many "stages" an one has streets paved with gold. One have "gifts". Guess heaven, depends on your form of religion.

[Sibilia]

I'm an atheist, but I was raised in the Gospel, so I like that.

[Merlijn]

I must apologize: I was unaware of the discussion on possible interpretations of 'Heaven' going on in the Comparative Religion-secion right now.

I'm atheist, but if I had to pick a religion, I'd be Jewish. A nice god, rules I understand and can tolerate, women have a lot of say, and no hell
