Aussie Whip 4,125 Posted Saturday at 23:00 Report Share Posted Saturday at 23:00 What turned me off religion and the bible mainly was that my mum was Church of England and my dad Catholic. Their marriage wasn't recognized by the Catholic church here back then and neither was their son. If there is a god I doubt he'd turn a kid away because of this, so I thought all religions were BS from a young age. I still respect what other people believe if it makes their life better and am a spiritual person myself. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think i am probably a spiritual being myself mate in being most happy when I am in the countryside or even on an beach looking across the sea i always feel an inner peace a lot more than I do when ever I have been in a church even staring at a full moon or watching a sunrise or sunset makes me feel better if there is a religion that worships these things that I can see with my own eyes that would be the religion for me. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well said tats, being part of nature and being humbled by it is as spiritual as you can get imo. If people can get that peace from God, Buddha or whatever it's a positive thing also. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But how is being at peace with nature anything to do with God or Buddha, it's not, it's just enjoying the tranquility of being outdoors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have ever witnessed death, it's just silence and peace after suffering, nothing spiritual, just a big sleep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol I don't have to show you nothing mate,it's upto you to make your own decisions in life,if you don't beleive in God that's your choice,fair enough but don't be acting like you know for 100percent because you clearly don't. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That says it all, having blind faith in god is no different in having faith that Bigfoot is alive, that Elvis didn't die, that Ireland will win the next World Cup.
