Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that establishes symbols that relate humanity to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values.
I hear the word religion said a lot throughout this video. You claim that your a Christian. Being a Christian simply is putting your beliefs and faith into God, believing he sent Jesus to die and save us from our sins. But much more than that it is a relationship with God. God wants our heart and that's what we should give him, not our minds. I am a Christian and I am in now way throwing this in anyone's faces. I respect others beliefs and opinions, Im just putting mine out there as well.
@AndyMasonVlogs123 Because Wicca doesn't have ONLY one god; the Wiccan religion worships ALL different kinds of gods and goddesses. Just because you don't practice the Wiccan religion doesn't mean it doesn't have "the truth". Since I'm a Wicca myself.
I think your definition of religion is way too broad...you're basically equating religion with world view. Religions are built on world views, true, but religion has always gone beyond this. I would say that worship, in one form or another, is the most defining aspect of religion.
One way to solve religion is to prove them wrong but taking every belief one by one through scriptures, testaments and letters and prove each and everyone wrong and if they revolt leave that in the hand of the authoritys
personaly i belive that religen is your primary belife system or the hub of your wheel. Everything you do is the spokes of this wheeI. It stems from and supports your hub by this definishion everyone has a religen, whether that be Cathlic or e.g. a hedonist (the belife that pleasure = happiness). you can split all religens into two basic catagorys ones that have the self at the hub of the wheel and thous with God at the center the diffrence is the one with the self at the center will not servive
Ok, I knew this day would come. I knew it was too much to expect that I could entirely respect the opinions of a theist. Clearly you think atheism is a religion and that it requires faith, you're wrong. You dress it up in over the top, unnecessary, and somewhat muddled language but you clearly think this. Your definition of religion is atrocious and from about 4:20 onward this video requires effort in deciphering because it's so badly worded. Go talk to your imaginary friend, I'm done listening.
@TornadoCreator It does require some faith. you have faith that the scientists performed their experiments correctly. you have faith that they didn't make up statistics or results. Every belief we have, unless proven within our senses or proven by ourselves, requires some faith. now, obviously, belief in God greatly differs from a belief in scientists' honesty and ability, but it is still a sort of faith. And even so, with facts in place, they can be ignored, or received.
None of that is faith. Faith is the unwavering believe in the truth of a claim reguardless or even in opposition to supporting evidence. I have never had a single unwavering belief, everything I accept is accepted tentatively and subject to change. On top of that all claims I accept are very much reliant of evidence... granted for day to day situations, this evidence may be partial, but evidence still. Stop trying to make out atheists have faith, we don't.
Also, anyone else find it ironic that I was talking to a girl about my religious views the other day(agnostic) and she jokingly remarked. "Dude, you're going to Hell XD"
Thanks for answering the question you asked for me. I too feel religion is to establish those things. Anyways, I admire how you do have a set religion yet managed to stay neutral on this subject. I wish more people were like that. I however have found it easier to be agnostic.
Religion is a tool of war, not the cause. Greed, the desire for power and control, is the cause of war. Religion is used to justify that desire, not the cause of it. As divisive as religious belief can be, war comes when one group imposes itself on another group in order to assume power over them and control the limited resources of Earth.
Are you saying any opinion on morality constitutes a religious belief, implicit or otherwise? Broadening the definition of religion to mean any opinion on morality doesn't make sense to me. Implicit religion sounds more like a metaphor - looking at non religious beliefs through the prism of religion. Religion, in the context of " what is religion?", is a set of beliefs about an alternate plane of existence after death, for which there is no real evidence.
I don't follow any religion but I don't not believe in any either. When there's proof I might start believing.
Any religion is fine. It's the one you chose to follow so I have no problem with people believing it. What I don't like is when some people throw their beliefs onto you. Whether it be Atheism or Christianity or whatever.
I don't believe that we just rot into the earth when we die. Reincarnation is what I've always believed in. Even when I had a child's mind and followed no religion.
@MuffinBracelet If there was proof for any religion, it wouldn't be a religion.
Religion is just a theory and a life-style, telling you to do meaningless things for an invisible bearded man in the sky and just hope for the best. If there was proof it wouldn't be a theory you know, and therefor not a religion.
Especially since the bible ask you to let logic go and don't give a flying half of a monkey's ass about proof.
I do not see any correct outcome to humanity or to my personal life, however I do likes and disslikes and they are subjective. The only thing that makes my subjective wants more important is that they are mine and as I am me I "need" to work for my subjective goals. Life is choice based on ability.
You are incorrect. I do not see anything as right or wrong objectively. So if I am to say what you should or should not do, what would be right or wrong to do in any given situation, I would need to know your objective. Right and wrong is based on goal. I will give you an example is lying wrong? Most say it is, I say it is relative to goal. If your goal is for me to take you serious then it is wrong to lie, if your goal is for me not to take you serious then it is right to lie. Peace
It's not hard to figure out that Christianity is the only true religion. Did Buddha or Muhammad die on the cross for your sins and raise from the dead three days later?
You're one of a very few religious people I like listening to. I don't agree with all Your statements and arguments, but nonetheless I like Your rethoric. Cheers :).
I think religion was an explanation of what we didn't have the ability to explain. That is why religion is based/very similar to how the stars travel. Christianity is just a politicaly correct mix of all religions
I think everyone should get the chance to understand each religion carefully, not judge or mock. But i believe that no religion is the best way to go :)
Thinking your religion is better than another religion is ethnocentrism. People need to realize that there are other religions and not one is superior than another. Just something I learned in Cultural Anthropology class. :)
I firmly believe that religion is a method that humans have created to cover up the complexities of the creation of the universe (and life) and the complexities of the human mind.
Was with you until you said we got here by accident. It was not an "accident".
"We are surrounded by endless forms, most beautiful and most wonderful, and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random natural selection – the only game in town, the greatest show on Earth." ~ Richard Dawkins
I also have a problem with word "happy". Not really sure what that means.
Very interested to see the other parts of this series.
I agree with you. I think we should respect all religions. Some people read way into it and don't get the true meaning of there religion so it messes our society up. If we just accept others religion and didn't stress about making others believe in things like for example I'm gay and Christian many people call me a modified Christian just because I'm gay I believe everyone deserves to be loved and if god didn't want me this way he wouldn't make me this way.
Without Christianity, Islam would have never been created. Abraham, the founder of the 3 primary faiths, had a son named Ishmael, he was the person who "Started" teachings of Allah. Bottom line is that the Christian God, Yahweh, the God i believe in is no different then Allah. Think about it. God is not a human, he is an entity. Jesus is the human reincarnation of Yahweh. The way i see it, Allah and Yahweh are the some entities, just a different name
I'd rather put my faith in something and know that if it is real, that I won't be going to a place I don't want to be when I die. Yes, religion is a way out. It's a way out of this world.
I find what you said to be true.
Cooperating religions is the key to having peace on this Earth. But since there can never be peace among religions- thinking that their own is the right one- there can never be true peace on Earth.
Yeah pretty much. As I said that is why religion is pretty similar to how the stars travel. The sun that is representing the son of god is very close to a bunch of stars shaping a cross the same day that jesus is supposevly crusified. So yeah religion is pretty much as you said an explanation for what we couldn't understand. The problem now is that we have the tools to explain it without the help of religion making religion no longer needed.
Not all religions condemn non-believers. Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Buddhism do not believe their way to be the only true way, they believe that all religions can lead one to salvation/nirvana/moksha. The violent and exclusive jealous god is that of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
I dislike religion because it's an easy way out: an answer to things which you cannot yet explain. It's also used as a justification for things that people disagree with you on, or you know are probably wrong. Just wiped out an entire race? Well, shucks, 'God' wanted me to do it! Raped a baby? 'God' made me do it. etc, etc.
The thing is, I don't think religions are the problem. I think it's okay that people believe they're right, as long as they don't try forcing their beliefs on others and they don't have a superiority complex. Like, I believe in Islam, but if someone isn't a Muslim, I can't say I'm better than him or her. I might be a lot worse. I can't judge. It's about accepting that people have different beliefs. Not everyone will believe the same thing.
religion is an excuse that people use to make them seem right religion is a persons convionce their excuse because people dont like to think sp they put god into religion iss.......pointless
Love the bedroom. Good points too. My Christian friend told me to watch this. I'm atheist and one of my best friends is Buddhist. We kinda just put our differences aside and get along just fine.
@DeppsIsAliveTheSeque Buddhism is a philosophy, a life-style, not many differences to be laid aside when the both of you have no perception of the creation of the universe nor an almighty creature such as "God". Unless you disagree with his life style, even then - there is nothing to argue, when it comes to the creation of the universe and whether or not a god exist it's a whole other deal.
@DeppsIsAliveTheSeque I love the Bed room too. I'm the atheist friend in my close friends group, who all 3 are Christian. I actually found MrRep and suggested him to my bestie of the 3. We do occasionally discuss religion but generally just ignore it. I even went to her church's friday youth night for a few months - to support her. But religion really is touchy when you're the one that doesn't believe, you might offend them or even be offended.
@ShelbyxPwns Some people, like me don't want to believe in stuff until they have evidence to make it a truth, rather than a belief... and since some beliefs conflict with other beliefs... it'll never happen, until we all drop beliefs in light of accepting things based on reason and evidence... until we do that, we're doomed to fight over who's right...
Personally I find these kinds of speeches to be intellectually condescending. Like, now that you clarified the logic of it all I can now see with clarity. You identify with TJ as a white, meat eating, male athiest in his early 20's. So much so that you are campaigning to raise funds for him. He could say all the same things he does about religion but if he went vegan you wouldn't support him I bet. I'm not donating so that he can indulge his gluttony with meat sandwiches and whiskey.
You are correct, the three things you said about doing away with religion will only cause more problems. There is a fourth option that is much less drastic. Proper education of science and religion. It's been shown, many times over, the more people learn about the history of not only their own religion, but others as well, and the more people learn about science and how it works, the less religious people are. A proper education is the death of any religion.
@Defiant47 Now that is just silly, my friend. There are plenty of educated people that still believe in a god, and not just at a pantheistic or deistic level. There is enough logical evidence to provide a very reasonable basis for a belief in a creator, and to say otherwise shows that you have not looked into it for yourself.
To make a claim like "there is no god" is just like a Christian saying "there is a god." Science cannot make claims about God because it studies the material
@Defiant47 while God is not of the material. Science should not delve into prove or disprove something that is outside of it's territory. I for one do believe, however, that the more we learn about science, the more it will make sense that there is a creator of this universe.
@srabraves88 It's not silly, it's just how it is, and I never said ALL people with a good education are not religious. I said usually the more well educated people are, the less religious they are. Scientists for example, only a small minority are believers which is the opposite for the general population. Science and most atheists NEVER claim "there is no god," we simply do not believe there are until there is sufficient evidence for one. That has never happened. (more to come)
@srabraves88 Science does not delve into the "supernatural" because people consistently change their views on it. Science deals with what can be observed, measured, documented and tested. Now, depending on the attributes you wish to apply to any given god, those CAN be tested, and to date, debunked. I feel safe in saying there is no god as much as we all say there is no tooth fairy, which is actually MORE believable than a god is. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
@srabraves88 On the contrary, the more we learn in science, the less sense the idea of a creator becomes... events once attributed to a deity or deities, are now explained completely without a deity, by natural explanations... lightning for example... and earthquakes, etc. are all explainable without adding a deity into the mix... doing so adds an unneeded aspect to a perfectly explainable event by natural means...
@Defiant47 In the logical sense, that is, for I do not believe that science can either prove or disprove God since science can only prove what is testable.
i believe that it is better to be peaceful and tolerant, but the variety of beliefs in the world, and the dissonance they bring often make life more interesting, and give us a reason to stand for something.
If one were to consider the human race & all living beings as well as knowledge as a collective and consider that as a 'God', which you cannot interact with.
And consider prophets of different religions as preachers of morality.
Then the world might get somewhere.
Because if you consider us all as a collective, then you have no reason to do anything except for bettering yourself and others.
Having competing exclusive truths is not the same having mutual respect for one another. Also, I was somewhat offended by your comment and to be honest come off as rather arrogant, as my comment was not claiming that it would ever happen, but rather explaining what would be an ideal situation in regards to making the world a better place. The point is not try and get everyone to agree, but to strive for peaceful dialogue
@thunderbolt94 And also, I fail to see how working towards peaceful dialogue, regardless as to whether or not peace among religions would ever happen, is a bad thing.
Hmm, as to the idea that religion creates all this anarchy and destruction I must dissagree, human nature inherently does that, the secular man can be just as destructive if not more so than the Religious man.I think you are over emphasising the reach of religion in terms of such things about wars and evil.
I don't believe in God. I'm not sure if their is such a thing. I don't believe that their is such a thing as good or evil. Do you see it in nature? No. It's simply survival of the fittest. It is merely a human concept. Religion is one of the many things that has seriously hindered our chance of survival as a species. I suspect any space fairing race probably had either one religion, wiped out all the others or simply got along with each other from the start. I don't think their is an after life.
@stefanoGFsiciliano I believe that in your comment you just betrayed yourself with a very good morality argument. Morality is NOT found in nature, you are correct on that, but if morality is just a human construct (and you take God out of the equation), then morality had to at one point been evolved into our psyche. If there is not right or wrong, then why is murder condemned? Why would we have evolved a sense of ethics when they cause us to usually do what's best for others?
@srabraves88 the answer to morality is simple...without God...there would be no morality. You can't take God out of the equation. One can try...but it always goes back to God...think of it like this; going back in time, you always end up with this question...How did man learn about morality...without God teaching man...one would know nothing about it. You can't leave God out of it. Cause you will find if there is no morality, no God...you have chaos. Look what happens today without morals.
@MrRunningwolfe Well, no. I'm assuming that as a regular human being, you disagree with the idea of slavery and by your moral standards it's wrong. The Bible and the Quran, however endorse slavery. Just one example of how modern morality conflicts with Biblical morality.
@mikhailhanafi ...Okay, here is something to remember...the Bible dosen't endorse slavery (not the way your thinking). You need to know something about history and culture. You need to study this...it is for a person to assume that the Bible endorses slavery until you really read and study. Just for instance...when translaters, translated the word slave (in english from Hebrew, Greek, etc...), it wasn't talking about slavery like you understand the term. We would understand it as...(con't)
@mikhailhanafi...Continued...on the terms, Bond Servant. Look up what a bond servant is a dictionary. I could go on...but the idea here is that people assume because of misunderstanding of translated words from one language into another, one tends to jump the gun (so to speak). People who are not into mechanics cannot understand it unless they truly study it and have a desire for it. Same for the things of God. The Bible is a apiritual Book...not a histiry manual...but it does have Histiry in it
@srabraves88 Morality did not evolve with us. I see nothing that supports it. If I was stranded in the wilderness, I wouldn't really care about ethics or about morality. All I'd want to do is survive. If I have to work together with others, fine, I'd try to cooperate in order find food and resources. Morality doesn't really apply when your trying to survive, which, without the comfort of modern civilization, we'd all be doing.
My first comment was deleted, so here it is again...
The first definition I get from 'dictionary.reference. com' is:
Noun
1 - a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
I think one of the biggest players in world peace is the complete departure from religion and other supernatural beliefs... as it's very nature causes avoidable conflicts in the world...
Since my fear of death, I became a christian. But unlike other christians I dont care what people belive or how they live and what theyre decisions are. ( dont care if they are gay bi, or lesbian) I try seperating myself from the typical types that judge others. I love everyone for who they are. (anyways you rock MrRepzion)
Well, as a new subscriber to you I can tell you that this is a really good video to start with. :)
I've explored many different "types" of Christian religions (I still can't believe how differently Christians can interpret the same book), and I took away from it a non-conforming religious attitude.
There might be a God, there might not be. All I can do in THIS life is the best I can do. If there is a God, then he screwed up royally by making that book so ambiguous and up for interpretation.
i think religion is a test for us people to show god how do we do in life and how we believe in him and show our sins and goods and when the judgment day happens (not in 2012) god will tell us if we r going to hell or haven and the depends of our sins and goods
rep please replay to me telling me about ur thoughts about religion .

"We are surrounded by endless forms, most beautiful and most wonderful, and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random natural selection – the only game in town, the greatest show on Earth." ~ Richard Dawkins
I also have a problem with word "happy". Not really sure what that means.
Very interested to see the other parts of this series.

I agree with you. I think we should respect all religions. Some people read way into it and don't get the true meaning of there religion so it messes our society up. If we just accept others religion and didn't stress about making others believe in things like for example I'm gay and Christian many people call me a modified Christian just because I'm gay I believe everyone deserves to be loved and if god didn't want me this way he wouldn't make me this way.

Without Christianity, Islam would have never been created. Abraham, the founder of the 3 primary faiths, had a son named Ishmael, he was the person who "Started" teachings of Allah. Bottom line is that the Christian God, Yahweh, the God i believe in is no different then Allah. Think about it. God is not a human, he is an entity. Jesus is the human reincarnation of Yahweh. The way i see it, Allah and Yahweh are the some entities, just a different name

I'd rather put my faith in something and know that if it is real, that I won't be going to a place I don't want to be when I die. Yes, religion is a way out. It's a way out of this world.
I find what you said to be true.
Cooperating religions is the key to having peace on this Earth. But since there can never be peace among religions- thinking that their own is the right one- there can never be true peace on Earth.

Yeah pretty much. As I said that is why religion is pretty similar to how the stars travel. The sun that is representing the son of god is very close to a bunch of stars shaping a cross the same day that jesus is supposevly crusified. So yeah religion is pretty much as you said an explanation for what we couldn't understand. The problem now is that we have the tools to explain it without the help of religion making religion no longer needed.

Not all religions condemn non-believers. Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Buddhism do not believe their way to be the only true way, they believe that all religions can lead one to salvation/nirvana/moksha. The violent and exclusive jealous god is that of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

I dislike religion because it's an easy way out: an answer to things which you cannot yet explain. It's also used as a justification for things that people disagree with you on, or you know are probably wrong. Just wiped out an entire race? Well, shucks, 'God' wanted me to do it! Raped a baby? 'God' made me do it. etc, etc.

The thing is, I don't think religions are the problem. I think it's okay that people believe they're right, as long as they don't try forcing their beliefs on others and they don't have a superiority complex. Like, I believe in Islam, but if someone isn't a Muslim, I can't say I'm better than him or her. I might be a lot worse. I can't judge. It's about accepting that people have different beliefs. Not everyone will believe the same thing.

@DeppsIsAliveTheSeque Buddhism is a philosophy, a life-style, not many differences to be laid aside when the both of you have no perception of the creation of the universe nor an almighty creature such as "God". Unless you disagree with his life style, even then - there is nothing to argue, when it comes to the creation of the universe and whether or not a god exist it's a whole other deal.

@DeppsIsAliveTheSeque I love the Bed room too. I'm the atheist friend in my close friends group, who all 3 are Christian. I actually found MrRep and suggested him to my bestie of the 3. We do occasionally discuss religion but generally just ignore it. I even went to her church's friday youth night for a few months - to support her. But religion really is touchy when you're the one that doesn't believe, you might offend them or even be offended.

Personally I find these kinds of speeches to be intellectually condescending. Like, now that you clarified the logic of it all I can now see with clarity. You identify with TJ as a white, meat eating, male athiest in his early 20's. So much so that you are campaigning to raise funds for him. He could say all the same things he does about religion but if he went vegan you wouldn't support him I bet. I'm not donating so that he can indulge his gluttony with meat sandwiches and whiskey.

You are correct, the three things you said about doing away with religion will only cause more problems. There is a fourth option that is much less drastic. Proper education of science and religion. It's been shown, many times over, the more people learn about the history of not only their own religion, but others as well, and the more people learn about science and how it works, the less religious people are. A proper education is the death of any religion.
Defiant47 1 month ago
@Defiant47 Now that is just silly, my friend. There are plenty of educated people that still believe in a god, and not just at a pantheistic or deistic level. There is enough logical evidence to provide a very reasonable basis for a belief in a creator, and to say otherwise shows that you have not looked into it for yourself.
To make a claim like "there is no god" is just like a Christian saying "there is a god." Science cannot make claims about God because it studies the material
srabraves88 1 month ago
@Defiant47 while God is not of the material. Science should not delve into prove or disprove something that is outside of it's territory. I for one do believe, however, that the more we learn about science, the more it will make sense that there is a creator of this universe.

srabraves88 1 month ago
@srabraves88 It's not silly, it's just how it is, and I never said ALL people with a good education are not religious. I said usually the more well educated people are, the less religious they are. Scientists for example, only a small minority are believers which is the opposite for the general population. Science and most atheists NEVER claim "there is no god," we simply do not believe there are until there is sufficient evidence for one. That has never happened. (more to come)
Defiant47 1 month ago
@srabraves88 Science does not delve into the "supernatural" because people consistently change their views on it. Science deals with what can be observed, measured, documented and tested. Now, depending on the attributes you wish to apply to any given god, those CAN be tested, and to date, debunked. I feel safe in saying there is no god as much as we all say there is no tooth fairy, which is actually MORE believable than a god is. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Defiant47 1 month ago
@srabraves88 On the contrary, the more we learn in science, the less sense the idea of a creator becomes... events once attributed to a deity or deities, are now explained completely without a deity, by natural explanations... lightning for example... and earthquakes, etc. are all explainable without adding a deity into the mix... doing so adds an unneeded aspect to a perfectly explainable event by natural means...

@Defiant47 In the logical sense, that is, for I do not believe that science can either prove or disprove God since science can only prove what is testable.

If one were to consider the human race & all living beings as well as knowledge as a collective and consider that as a 'God', which you cannot interact with.
And consider prophets of different religions as preachers of morality.
Then the world might get somewhere.
Because if you consider us all as a collective, then you have no reason to do anything except for bettering yourself and others.

Having competing exclusive truths is not the same having mutual respect for one another. Also, I was somewhat offended by your comment and to be honest come off as rather arrogant, as my comment was not claiming that it would ever happen, but rather explaining what would be an ideal situation in regards to making the world a better place. The point is not try and get everyone to agree, but to strive for peaceful dialogue

I don't believe in God. I'm not sure if their is such a thing. I don't believe that their is such a thing as good or evil. Do you see it in nature? No. It's simply survival of the fittest. It is merely a human concept. Religion is one of the many things that has seriously hindered our chance of survival as a species. I suspect any space fairing race probably had either one religion, wiped out all the others or simply got along with each other from the start. I don't think their is an after life.
stefanoGFsiciliano 1 month ago in playlist Religion And Philosophy
@stefanoGFsiciliano I believe that in your comment you just betrayed yourself with a very good morality argument. Morality is NOT found in nature, you are correct on that, but if morality is just a human construct (and you take God out of the equation), then morality had to at one point been evolved into our psyche. If there is not right or wrong, then why is murder condemned? Why would we have evolved a sense of ethics when they cause us to usually do what's best for others?
srabraves88 1 month ago
@srabraves88 the answer to morality is simple...without God...there would be no morality. You can't take God out of the equation. One can try...but it always goes back to God...think of it like this; going back in time, you always end up with this question...How did man learn about morality...without God teaching man...one would know nothing about it. You can't leave God out of it. Cause you will find if there is no morality, no God...you have chaos. Look what happens today without morals.

@MrRunningwolfe Well, no. I'm assuming that as a regular human being, you disagree with the idea of slavery and by your moral standards it's wrong. The Bible and the Quran, however endorse slavery. Just one example of how modern morality conflicts with Biblical morality.

@mikhailhanafi ...Okay, here is something to remember...the Bible dosen't endorse slavery (not the way your thinking). You need to know something about history and culture. You need to study this...it is for a person to assume that the Bible endorses slavery until you really read and study. Just for instance...when translaters, translated the word slave (in english from Hebrew, Greek, etc...), it wasn't talking about slavery like you understand the term. We would understand it as...(con't)

@mikhailhanafi...Continued...on the terms, Bond Servant. Look up what a bond servant is a dictionary.

People who are not into mechanics cannot understand it unless they truly study it and have a desire for it. Same for the things of God. The Bible is a apiritual Book...not a histiry manual...but it does have Histiry in it

@srabraves88 Morality did not evolve with us. I see nothing that supports it. If I was stranded in the wilderness, I wouldn't really care about ethics or about morality. All I'd want to do is survive. If I have to work together with others, fine, I'd try to cooperate in order find food and resources. Morality doesn't really apply when your trying to survive, which, without the comfort of modern civilization, we'd all be doing.

I've explored many different "types" of Christian religions (I still can't believe how differently Christians can interpret the same book), and I took away from it a non-conforming religious attitude.
There might be a God, there might not be. All I can do in THIS life is the best I can do. If there is a God, then he screwed up royally by making that book so ambiguous and up for interpretation.
