Have your religious/spiritual beliefs changed in the past year?

but its so much more special when tied to a spiritual awareness.

Well "ancestral pride" can relate to race. I just think taking pride as part of a group, race or not, is retarded.

depends on what you mean by "race". I honor all my ancestors, regardless of their background or own religious beliefs. Asatru has improved my life. I've always felt that atheism, no matter how sound it may be, usually leads to a pretty meaningless and depressing existence. To think there is nothing beyond this is pretty pessimistic.

lol

you're so thickheaded. You like Bathory, right? why don't you get in a time machine and tell Quorthon that Asatru is retarded and we'll see if you're still alive today.

lol, so you have to fool yourself to feel good? You should find your own meaning to your life and not let mythology dictate it for you. Jofa.

Being proud of ancestors you didn't even know (especially if it's because they're part of the same race as you) is gay. Not sure if that's what you meant but that's how I interpreted it.

 

[genocide roach]

being proud of where you come from is not gay.

[ohiogrinder]

no, I respect my elders. simple as that. do you?

 

[Valerie]

no, I respect my elders. simple as that. do you?

You need Norse Mythology to do that?

 

[Manic Ferocity]

It depends on whether my elders did something noteworthy. It's when race comes into the picture when it becomes stupid.

 

[ohiogrinder]

no, its just what Asatru teaches. I pray to the gods and it gives me a better appreciation for life itself.

[ohiogrinder]

I'm going to so hard when one of the two of you gets hit by a bus.

 

[Death Aflame]

Haven't changed. I believe their is some sort of spiritual energy that connects all living things from which we all came to which we will return upon death. I don't know if their is an official name for this belief but whatever.
