Well,my ID says i am an Orthodox Christian,but I'm very far from being that...I don't believe in god and the christianic religion seems to be tooo fake to me... I have never studied other religions,i'm not really interested in getting one...
i can't feel this inner superior religious feeling some people may feel and i don't believe there is something above us...It's we,the people,who are responsible for our shit...
Moreover i can't believe in Christianity,the religion of Love.I have respect for people around me,but love for me is sth "sacred",a magic word that shouldn't be wasted like that..i can't LOVE everybody around me... Moreover the idea of the perfect god pisses me off.
I guess our ancestors (I am at least talking for the ancinet greek and the nothern people,which aren't my fporbears but at least i know a few things about their religion and mythology) were far to wise to believe in several gods (which weren't perfect like the GOD).These gods actually represented mother nature and its forces and the qualities of man. Unlike the god of christians,the gods of ancient greeks were made according to what human is.The GOD on the contrary is supposed to be something above man and people are made (kat'eikona kai kath'omoiosei=) having him as a pattern (or sth like this-i can't give the exact translation in english.
Btw,I am far from being a pagan,too..i just think that worshipping mother earth etc etc is more sensible.
As i mention before i prefer not to have a religion,I don't believe in life after death,heaven or hell etc.I believe that people are responsible for the fate of this planet and there is noone to save them...
As for my ID,well,this is what pisses me off about the greek society. There are of course some people who really believe in God and stuff,but a significant number of people down here are far from being christian,but they still can't admit it...
Sorry but it's true.I see it around me everyday...Everybody is christian but they don't really botehr to go to church or worship their god,they only remember to invoke their god when they are in need,while the rest of the day when sth happens they are like "Fuck you bastard god","fuck Mary","Fuck Christian" blah blah
No more comments.... These don't go for everybody,I have met many people who truly believe in God....but i have seen all these "so-called Christians"
I was labeled Christian,just because it is a custom here to have all kind of ceremonies (weddings,funerals etc) in church... I won't do this to my child.I will let it decide whether he/she wants to have a religion...
As for my family,we are all ID-Christains,yet nobody goes to church or cares about religion.....My mum believes there is sth above,but yet she has a very personal philosophy/version about it..and that's why i admire her
As for the church,I believe that if Christ returned to earth he would be sad of its state.... No other comments
Christ I guess has existed,but he was not the son of god,he was just a thouhtful person,opposed to teh ideas of his society and that's he was followed/cursed by many...also i believe that many of his words are twisted through the ages....
NOTE:these are all my personal beliefs,I don't say they are TRUE,they can be as false/illusive as i consider the christian religion to be.... Also my beliefs may change with time,that's something ineveitable....
Agree with me or find my beliefs pure crap.... I won't argue or try to prove that I have right and you are wrong,simply because my beliefs are highly subjective....
