What are your religious beliefs /lgbt/?

monotheist but syncretist in a very franny and zooey way

>>41344905 (OP)
Unitarian Universalist Christian

>>41344905 (OP)
i'm a Christian of some kind or other
faith can be hard but i always remind myself it comes down to this:
>And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Christian (PECUSA).

Devoted Baptist Christian
I am a eunuch who's sin is forgiven by my lord Jesus, and I shall drink neither wine nor strong drink,
Yes to the world i am trans but to god and all of his glory I am a eunuch

matthew 19:12
"For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it"

>>41344934
Unitarian Universalist is just church for atheists who want to “feel spiritual”. Just being an actual atheist at that point it’s less cringe

>>41344905 (OP)
I practice my own religion.
It's basically a feminist take on hellenic paganism, combined with gnosticism.

>>41344905 (OP)
God isn't real

If he was he would've spoke to me because i've prayed a lot of times to speak with him. Not even really to just make my life better. If i just knew God existed i could get on with life a lot better but its obvious that he isn't. Its just some jewish bullshit that people made up.

>>41344905 (OP)
practicing quaker :)

ngl i don't really believe much of it the older i get but it's nice to have a community, plus its nice to think the path towards self actualization is being guided by something holy

>>41345173
>ignores the part where I said I am a Christian
Fwiw being a spiritual atheist is far less cringe than being whatever mental sickness and evil goes on in most contemporary Christian churches

>>41345173
>community and social work are cringe
just go back to playing video games and gooning bro

Religion by and large is just another egregoric mental parasite wasting people's life energy for the purposes of propagating itself upon the informational layer of abstraction created by human's evolved ability to have culture and language. However, so are most things running through most people's heads. Probably the result of relative peace and prosperity for the last 70 years or so since parasitism that negatively affects the hosts for the purpose of greater spreading of itself will outcompete symbiotic egregores evolutionarily in the absence of any genuine evolutionary pressure on the species.

do you have any note taking tips and also like why do they word the quiz so differently from how the textbook describes it

panentheism. Converting to judaism

>>41345255
my note taking tips is to write down (I'm on laptop) "what is ____?" after reading something and writing the answer to what it is in my own words. I do this for important terms or concepts.

i'm an atheist. and one of those obnoxious ones that doesn't like people being religious, too. religion is a mind virus that normalizes irrational thinking imo, and i think a lot of the problems in our society can be traced back to religious thinking.

I honestly doubt you are definitionally if you hold to Unitarian Universalist ideals. But call yourself whatever you want, I don’t care. I’m just saying that the church is exactly what I said it was. I’m not a fan of the “contemporary” megachurches churches either by the way.
>>41345163
I’m not a Baptist myself and I think some of the stuff on things like alcohol is silly, but that’s not a critical issue I think to being saved. I respect them and you seem serious and commited to your faith and I like that. I honestly wish the concept of identifying the broad concept of a eunuch was still a thing in western Society. I don’t really label myself as a tranny or like connecting myself to the LGBT. Lots of love your way anon, Christ be with you

I don't believe in any higher powers. shit is just kinda happening around us.

>>41344905 (OP)
I think that the energy the human body gives off is what people consider the "soul". I think its a type of energy we just dont have equipment that can properly register and record yet. I think that, when the body dies, it stops creating this energy, and what is left in it dissipates into the atmosphere. I believe that our consciousness is tied to this energy, and as it scatters into the universe, our consciousness merges with the collective, another screaming, confused, tormented soul in the "afterlife", awaiting the heat death of the universe to finally feel the relief of complete obliteration from existence. I dont like to think about it, but I also think it isnt like being awake or even asleep and dreaming, its just a baser level of existing. No senses. No body. Nothing but pain and fear and silence.

How do you heal from religious trauma, and by extension, religious trauma related to your identity and sexuality?
My mother made me believe I was going to hell at a young age and it's defined how I've viewed myself ever since.

>>41344905 (OP)
Nothing.
I would unironically support a genocide of all religious schizophrenics that refused to recant and be put on antipsychotics.
Pretending they aren’t dangerously mentally ill to be polite is the Great Filter.

>>41345914
To add, it's subconsciously affected a lot of life and how I've handled it.

>>41344905 (OP)
I'm an animist but I'm told that's just cringe pagan larp so I guess my religion is talking to random inanimate objects.

>>41346020
You need a japanese gf so that her mom will teach you how to do it properly

>>41346025
I'm into men and my conception is closer to roman numina, idk anything abt Japanese animism rlly.

>>41344905 (OP)
I'm of the LGBT religion/cult. Nothing else

I hope reincarnation is real

>>41345179
>polytheist
>gnostic
pick one.
>>41344905 (OP)
catholic, but semi-gnostic bc i've read secret and public scripture and i'm not at all hurt about the two being the same. most of the jrpg fanfic written about gnosticism is absolute bullshit and you realize this pretty quickly when you are exposed to the actual traditions from before the birth of christ. anyways, the holy spirit is a discord tranny and all of you hoes should read Thunder, Perfect Mind, bc jesus of nazareth was a chaser and we are his favorite little lambs (derogatory).

>>41345421
how does someone even come to this conclusion?

>>41344905 (OP)
Atheist, but I fw the cool christians that aren't queer haters because they're the only people in the world I can be myself around as a monogamous and pro-life transbian. It helps that I think Jesus was a cool dude in general and had a lot of good takes on how to live well and help the world, I just can't believe in any of the supernatural stuff no matter how hard I've tried.

>I honestly doubt you are definitionally if you hold to Unitarian Universalist ideals
There’s nothing incompatible with the creedless UU congregations and Christianity. I think my views on rejecting the trinity, embracing universalism, and reason and free inquiry being spiritual obligations are far more Biblically aligned and internally consistent than the majority of Christian denominations. You and the other mainstream sects do not have a monopoly on truth. You usually live much further from it.

>>41346738
Literally just a misogynistic straight man, of course you get along with religious schizophrenics

You certainly don’t live it by mocking and dismissing others as cringe or non-Christian either. Very unfortunate.

But i also believe in respecting others belief systems. People need that stuff to be okay

But i also believe in respecting others belief systems. As long as none of it includes hurting others in the name of your god anyway. People need that stuff to be okay

God made me exactly as I need to be. He gave me his hardest battles because he knew I'd be among his strongest soldiers.

>pick one
I think you actually need to study Gnosticism before opening your mouth, because it sounds like you have at best a Wikipedia level understanding of it.
Gnosticism has existed in plenty of contexts before. The "pagan" substrate in Eugnostos the Blessed hints pretty directly at a Gnosticism that was grounded western polytheism. To say nothing of Manicheanism in china, that progressively harmonized itself with the polytheistic context there.
>i've read secret and public scripture
Unless you are good friends with the patriarch of Alexandra, no you have not.
>when you are exposed to the actual traditions from before the birth of christ
Every gnostic text we have is from after that point.
>bc jesus of nazareth was a chaser and we are his favorite little lambs
Sophia is the protagonist of Thunder. It is hardly even a christian text.

>>41346965
Cool cool. Have you ever ate semen cake ?

>>41347028
I'm not a "pagan"-gnostic. Not a rosicrucian.

>>41344905 (OP)
not sure i can call myself a buddhist yet but in recent times it's been the belief system that's resonated with me the most. attachment as the root of suffering and all that. would have previously described myself as an atheist but right now i'm more of a nontheist, more focused on my personal journey rather than whether or not there's a god.
