different religions = mass confusionyume_no_karetaMay 15 2005, 13:20:39 UTC
It bugs me how 99.9% of the world is like "if you don't believe this then you will die and go to HELL!!!" or "my belief system is the only right way, so you must be the spawn of Satan if you don't convert NOW

Interesting theory. I've heard that one before, but it was from this really dumb dude. He didn't make it sound like it made sense. But now, it sorta makes more sense. I see where you're coming from.
I've always believed in reincarnation, though. So I guess that means I'll never really die! (whee, i'm indestructable)
I think wicca is so cool. I almost converted to it in the ninth grade, but I did all these random "sign" things and they pointed me off that path. But it still has had my interest ever since.
Anyhoo, yeah, my parrents have already threatened me with a convent in Indiana. And in case I had any doubts that they would send me there, they took me to visit it several years ago. So, it is imperitave that I keep my exploration of non christian religions a secret. I could never be a none.
Maybe i'll look into wicca again. I could be a wiccan buddhist. lol.
Don't know too much about buddism. I know that you attempt to reach enlightenment through self denial, but for the most part, that's about it. I do know a little bit about the whole reincarnation cycle, but that's more of a hindu thing. So for the most part, your on your own with this one. I'm going to try christianity one more time, I picked up a book called "the case for christ", and if the guy makes a decent argument, maybe it's worth reconsidering. I don't know, the whole thing just keeps sounding more and more farfetched to me.
I have pretty much given up on christianity. A couple of the meggeges are good, but they are also taught in various other religions. Good luck with that, though. If you can believe something like that with your whole heart, good for you. I commend you.
I adore fairies! Apparently there is a Fairy Tradition (or something like that) in Wicca...basically its the same thing as like Shinto and Greek mythology and stuff...but with Fairies instead! I need to find out more about that...^___^
