Posts from Religion Auto-translated

To avoid mixing the topic of religion with the question of belief in God, I decided to create a separate thread.
Here, we discuss your attitude towards religion, your religious affiliation, and simply everything related to this topic.
P.S. Please take the poll seriously and vote according to your actual beliefs.

By the way, gentlemen, what is your opinion on Satanism? Why do you feel that way, and what do you actually understand by Satanism? Is it a mental illness, or just one of many religions?

Satanism is not monolithic; I would say there are different currents. Some lack fanaticism and are close to atheism. From the note "Das letzte Einhorn":

The most common principle: "Live according to your desires, do what you want – as long as it doesn't harm others."

And what's wrong with that? Most people, whether religious or not, act this way despite all sorts of commandments. :)

If anyone is seriously interested in Satanism, I can provide a Satanic bible. I personally don't enjoy reading such things, and I don't consider myself religious. As for where the bible came from – it's better not to ask :D

To be honest, the Satanic Bible isn't the best reading material about Satanism... because
Anton Szandor LaVey writes in a rather complex style. Personally, I prefer Edward Crowley (actually, I just stole this opinion and I'm not even sure if I spelled the name correctly, but I think it's a valid opinion).

Science is better than any religion! Let's compare what benefits science and religion have brought us! Transportation, light, heat, industry, telephone, computer, and much more... Religion - beautiful churches, cathedrals, and... that's it!

Thanks to religion, we are alive and have not destroyed ourselves. Although I am absolutely certain that there is no God (Supreme Mind, Universal Soul, etc.), I must note: the positive role of religion in human history is enormous. It was religion that created morality, ethics, and subsequently - laws and justice. Every religion teaches us to cherish and protect human life, and contains a code of "rules of conduct," commandments, and precepts. A foolish person will still not understand the reasons why he should not harm those around him and think about his neighbors. Let him at least blindly follow the precepts of religion. Not everyone is ready to be an atheist. If believers die out, and religions disappear, the world will sink into chaos and violence. As sad as it is, a lie is simply necessary to maintain order on Earth. Religious fanaticism and the wars it causes are only one side of the coin. On the other hand, there is a huge layer of culture and creativity that could not have been created if religions had never existed on Earth. If religions had not arisen, people would have remained primitive pagans and would never have evolved into atheists. A person who believes in the Spirit of the Hairy Mountain, to whom sacrifices must be made with blood, is much less likely to think about the rational reasons for the structure of the world than a crusader

People need to believe in something, whether it's God or the Big Bang theory. It simply makes them feel more at ease. The unknown has always frightened people.

I believe that religion is an integral part of culture and art. Icons, frescoes, statues, temples – none of this would exist without religion. Many ancient monuments have religious significance and, at the same time, undeniable cultural value. I think that, like culture, religion is a matter of taste.

I believe in God. Don't take this as an admission that I'm almost an idol worshiper. No. I'm just a Christian.

From my girlfriend's work about Faith and religions. I myself believe in God. ...Sometimes, life puts a person in a difficult situation, when they have nothing left to be proud of, nothing they loved, valued, or cherished. They go to church... It doesn't matter if it's a church or a mosque; they go there without really understanding why. Maybe they simply have nowhere else to go? Maybe. But before, they were an atheist; they didn't care where they came from or who created them; they simply didn't ask themselves that question. Why would they? They were happy; they had everything! Why bother with a question that seems to play no role in their life? But after losing everything, a person turns to God and asks, "Why? What happened?" What do they want to hear? Why don't they go to the zoo to talk to relatives of their ancestors, have a heartfelt conversation with them about "Why?" and "What happened?" Why? In reality, it's difficult to believe in God, difficult to believe in the Bible or the Quran; this is understandable. Ask a person on the street, "Do you believe in the Bible?" You won't get a clear answer. Why? Few people want to talk about this topic openly. "I live in a modern society, and I need to keep up with the times to be happy and secure. How can I believe in some God? Or the Bible? It hasn't given me anything personally. If it exists, why is there so much chaos in our country and in the world? Why doesn't it intervene? It's nonsense! Young people, stop wasting my time; go do something useful!" I've heard even bolder answers, BUT! I've seen this woman in the Temple at least five times! What's going on?...

Something like a pantheist.
I believe in some higher power, but at the same time, I reject religion.

Basically a pantheist.
I believe in the higher powers of Gil and Hostor, but I reject religion.

Fixed it.

And I'm the only Satanist here, haha.

Do you believe in honey?

He imagined Ment wearing a white shirt and tie, carrying a stack of brochures, going door-to-door and asking people if they believe in honey.
