I know that you may consider me as some psycho for going to religion and God for truth, but I'm after the same thing you are: truth. I want to know what reality is about and what it means. Not what someone tells me it is. That's why I'm starting to question some things I once took for granted: in science, my religion, and my relationships. Just thought you'd like to know that some of us "theists" aren't completely blind sheep either. ;-)[/quote]You're not a psycho, just [url=http://www.answers.com/topic/delusion?cat=biz-fin]delusioned[/url] ( notice I see no reason beside political correctness my a** for this definition to put religions aside ). Glad to see you stop acting like a sheep/slave. [quote]My church didn't really have any rituals except communion and baptism, but they did have traditions. (...) Just for curiosity's sake, do you have a church background or did you get these ideas from watching other people?[/quote]I grew up in a small village in France, a traditionnaly catholic country. Baptism, the ritual, is the archetype of traditio^Wendoctrination. Although a thin minority of the people I know actually believe, virtually all of them got baptized by their parents when they were ~3 months old. So long for the respect and acceptance of other's, escpecially people's own children, difference and beliefs or lack thereof. I've been baptized, needless to say I was not consulted in the process. I attended catechism for a year ( the good thing about it was having to make drawings, the rest was a mix of comon sense and nonsense ), again without being asked if I wanted to. I did my comunion, why I don't know. Tradition and cultural pressure I guess. End of the story. AFAIR my parents were not religious. My mum is agnostic or atheist. During his last year(s) my dad hooked up with some protestants. I don't know the details. I think he was dating a protestant woman. Next thing I know he had an ichthys sticker on his car. Note that the little guy didn't save him from a lethal car accident. I never bought those religions, beliefs, holy books thing. It just doesn't fly for me. It never did, even when I was a kid. My questions were answered with circular reasoning. Not the most convincing way of selling one's view of the world. I seriously consider doing my apostasy and have my batpism cancelled, but couldn't be bothered so far to write to the diocese where I got baptized.
