I'm curious as to what /k/ is like religiously, seems like there's a good number of Christians here so it made me a bit curious.

Agnostic, but I analyze and respect other religions. I've read the Quran, the Bible, Vedic texts, the Torah, etc... while personally I'm not religious, I respect religions. I also understand the religious cultural roots that we have as Americans, and that other nations have.
But I can also be in a position to call out their bullshit. In recent days, that's been more towards Islam.

Not wrong with Islam, it's no more horrid as any other religion.
The problem is the idiots who follow it you can find terrible things in the bible as well but decent human beings attempt to rectify this, however Muslims can't seem to adapt and stop killing for fuck stupid reason so we gotta kill em back.
>>28271333

>the same thing
>gets 80% of the results
You dun goo-fucked up.
>>28271351
Yes and no, just like other holy books there are passages about killing apostates and non-believers, but it seems more prevalent and shows up more often than in the Bible or Torah.
That said, I do think Muslims need to undergo a reformation similar to how modern Christians have. These "extremist" beliefs are fairly widely shared and common in the Muslim world, and even in America.
>>28271280
I'm deist, and why the fuck are Hinduism and Sikhism in the same vote? I get agnostic and athiest, but Sikh and Hindu?
>>28271355
I tend to think of "new age" as more eclectic beliefs like magic healing crystals, casting spells, and other shit that I don't believe in, whereas folks interested in revitalizing established tribal beliefs from history would be reconstructionists. That's too many options though, honestly "other" works just fine for me.

True, but most Muslims don't totally hate Western practices however most incorporate brutal beliefs or values that are typically quite regressive.
>>28271471
Agnostic makes more sense to me. Atheism means that you know nothing is out there. Which that takes as much faith as religion.
>>28271371
>seems more prevalent and shows up more often than in the Bible
LOL, skip to the end. *spoiler* Jebus comes back and kills everyone that doesn't kiss his ass.

Some higher power maybe, but nothing I'd call a deity. That's why I stick with the atheist name personally.
>>28271280
Dirty heathen here
>>28271493
See that's the thing that pisses me off. Atheism didn't used to be "I KNOW there is no god(s)". It used to simply be "There isn't any evidence to support a god or god like beings". But then we got SJWs and other gay shit slipping in and they start walking around declaring that the lack of evidence is solid proof that there is nothing and therefor it is a fact there is no god. That is wrong, there is simply no evidence.
>>282714
>Atheism means that you know nothing is out there
Depends on which atheism you subscribe to. Atheism is about belief, agnosticism is about knowledge. An agnostic atheist doesn't hold a belief in a god, but doesn't claim that a god absolutely isn't real. A gnostic atheist is someone who claims that god 100% doesn't exist.
The same applies to believers. You can believe in god but admit that you don't have 100% certainty. That's agnostic theism. A believer who is 100% certain of god is a gnostic theist.
>>28271504
That is agnosticism right there. Basically means, You don't know.
Mormon here.
>>28271532
Mormons are /k/ as fuck. I have a good friend who is mormon. We go shooting every time I see him.
>>28271493
Does it take "faith" to claim that there isn't an invisible unicorn hiding on mars?
I'd argue that in reality, it does not. If you make an extraordinary claim without evidence, it doesn't take faith not to believe in it, whether it is the desert monster Yahweh or bigfoot or any other bullshit random stuff you can come up with. Until you have positive evidence for your claim, it is entirely logical to dismiss it as bullshit.

Thanks /k/ommando. We're pretty cool, most of the stormin Mormon's around here have stockpiles, and we all know how to hunt, fish, and run the land. There's a lot of weird stigma's about us, but I grew up in the bubble (inside Utah), so I don't really know much of anything else.
Christian.
I used to do the whole wishy-washy "Weeeell, I was raised Christian, but I hate organized religion, and I don't associate myself with any particular denomination, but I do consider myself to be a spiritual person..." song and dance, but I'm tired of trying to explain myself to make a good impression on people.

>>28271520
>>28271518
I 100% believe there is no being fitting to be called a "God". That fits atheist pretty well.
>>28271561

>>28271567
I don't blame you. Must be hard letting people know that you literally believe in magical bullshit and zombie jews who can perform magic with god superpowers and all the other fake myth bullshit you believe in
>>28271572
You don't know that. -agnosticism.
>>28271421
Wicca seems incredibly stupid, considering that it takes bits and pieces from different sources of paganism along with other shit (satanism, and other judeo-christian derived things).
Everyone is into different things for different reasons but I would recommend looking into Asatru if you're remotely nordic, and there are other surviving Heathen practices, many of which are not quite within grasp unless you wanted to live in those countries.
>>28271319
>>28271557
Seconded. I read them (Poetic and Prose Edda) while studying a bit on my family history. They can be a bit of a hard read but if you've dug through other religious texts it shouldn't be too hard.
>>28271570
Um, yes, because I'm not retarded? I don't believe magical shit without evidence? Religion in general is gay, mormonism is even more gay and the evidence that Smith was a con-artist is abundant.

Most people would probably call me new agey Christian. I come from an American Baptist Church but I've read through other holy texts and taken a bit from here and there. I really like parts of Shinto, Budsim and Sihkism. There are things to learn from everyone. Sometimes it is that I disagree with them.

>>28271646

>>28271627
>No one cares about Qaballah
If nobody cared, then I would appreciate it if every modern mystic practice wasn't "inspired" or straight copied from Qaballah and Gnosticism
>>28271646
Same reason why modern Christians no longer approve of slavery even though that shit is rampant in the bible to the point where god actually gives specific rules surrounding keeping slaves...
Religion has always had to be dragged kicking and screaming into modernity, whether the issue is slavery, gay rights, interracial marriage, evolution, or anything else. Religion has been wrong on so many topics it's fucking embarrassing.
>>28271659
Well obviously it has, but inside their teachings it is defined as between a man and a women, so I don't blame them for fighting it.

A good example of everything wrong with religion. When their position is based on ancient scrolls rather than objective reality, there's no telling what they'll do.
>>28271684
Oh, we already know what they'll do. When a muslim blows himself up in a crowd of children and literally believes that he is going to heaven for it, that's religious faith at work. Brainwash people to believe your bullshit and they will willingly kill themselves and think they're morally right for doing so.
>>28271625

>>28271680
I totally agree, but I don't blame them for fighting something they don't agree with. Isn't that also a part of Freedom? I am pro gay marriage personally, mainly because I just don't care what other people do, but I don't look down on others who don't share the same belief pattern I do.

This about sums it up
>>28271707
To be fair , I could have just picked Judaism. However, I follow far more than just Judaism.
I was raised in a semi-religious household. Both my parents were church-going people, who met in the navy and had me when they were stationed in the UK. I'm a navy brat technically. While one parent was away at sea the other was at home, still had to report to duty of course, but we didn't really go to church regularly while they were still serving. However the only times I had to go to church was when I was visiting my super orthodox relatives (who have like a dozen kids), aside from that I never had to regularly go to church and I'm fucking glad I didn't. Early on I was very into science and nature and shit like that and once I realized that Santa wasn't real everything else went along with it.
I openly admit to being atheist but I don't mind sitting in a church just to support my mom. I also don't pursue relationships with girls that want to be religious because I like my secular lifestyle. I'd rather stand for what I believe in than lie about it just to get some pussy.

Does Asatru have any conventions or anything like that? I'm in the U.S. if that matters.
Also, good books to read. I'm not religious, but I am interested in my heritage and since a quarter of my family is German, I want to research the old ways as much as I can. I would look into the Scots, Irish, and Welsh heritages, but no one has made any serious attempt to reconnect with the faith of the old Celts. The only things people practice and claim come from Celtic paganism are made up.
>>28271853
Yeah, they're pretty shitty though.
>>28271863
Yes. Just google Asatru, you'll find tons of stuff. Poetic and Prose Eddas are a good start for Asatru.
>>28271863
>no one has made any serious attempt to reconnect with the faith of the old Celts
That's because it's impossible. There's just no reliable sources on any of it. They didn't write anything down, they adopted Christianity really early and very thoroughly, the only things we have are Roman accounts that don't cover much at all and aren't too reliable.
For Asatru, read Germania, the prose and elder eddas, listen to about two hours of Amon Amarth and Tyr a day, and boom you're an Asatruar
>>28271863
I don't go to any conventions, but this is really a belief in your family and land more than anything. Check out We Are Our Deeds, Culture of the Teutons (can be found for free with a Google search) and some of the books on Germanic mythology from Jacob Grimm.
This is an orthopraxic religion, meaning rightness of action matters much more than what one necessarily believes in, as opposed to the Ahbramic faiths with are orthodoxies and place emphasis on right belief.

>>28271719
Honestly, it seems like young kids these days are super proud of being atheists, like it's some form of accomplishment that they "overcame the brainwashing" or something. They have to be the first to let you know they're way to smart to think that God is a joke and they're smarter than you if you believe. I think it's like there's so much confusion in this day and age that young people just want to feel sure about something, their idea of science means God can't exist, so you get these militant atheist fags that annoy absolutely everyone in their vicinity. Maybe I'm wrong but that's my observation as a 27 year old college bro.

I can't prove it, i have no real rational reason to believe it but i do. If i have a soul and a raison d'etre why shouldn't that snake, or that tree, ect.

not quite. I mean, you may see them at ren fairs and general pagan meetups, but AFAIK, there isn't anything like "ThorCon" or anything.
there's a few big "kindreds" out on the left coast, and in ex-mormon country that get together and do heathen stuff.
other than that, most states have little <10 person kindreds, with the bigger ones being universalist "heathens against hate" types. you may run into the crazy neo-nazi types too, but they don't tend to advertise too often.
>reading list
as much as asatruar will shit on me for saying this: read Nietzsche's der Antichrist and also sprach zarathustra, and shoe-horn that mentality into the stories of the eddas and sagas. you'll literally have a top-tier (if not deconstructed) understanding of "heathen" philosophy overnight.

The reformation in Christianity is closely tied to going back to the original text and reinterpreting it, getting closer to the source, weeding out non-Cristian influences and re-separating church and state. (based on Mark 12:17)
If you do the same with the Koran and follow what was lived and preached by the Prophet you're not creating a religion more compatible with the western world.
You end up with Salafism and IS.
So the reform of Islam many seem to consider vital for international peace can not be based on a fairly literal interpretation of scripture like it is the case with Cristianity which, at its core, is not opposed to the modern state.
A Muslim reformation with this goal would have to be based on an extremely skeptical look at the Koran, Hadith and especially the Prophet...
like considering all contents of the Koran that were revealed after Sura 22,52 rather than before it to potentially have an influence other than God.

Man, a branch of Islam that ran with the idea that Muhammad fell to the devil to protect everyone and became a martyr to complement Jesus would be pretty neat

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it, God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian."
I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant."
I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist."
I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist."
I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist."
I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region."
I said, "Me, too!" Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912."
I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

trivializing denominational differences only shows a lack of understanding of both history and theology.
go to /Christian/ and argue for ecumenism or nondenominationalism and you'll find a bucket of tar and a bag of feathers waiting for you.
>>28272235
I was gonna say, I typically lump yall in with the athiests. Not to shit on you or anything, that's just what I've always heard from LeVayans.
>>28272194
An interesting coincidence is that the Koran in its current form actually puts the early Sura revealed before 22,52 at the end of the book.
If you read it using this order you end up with the fairly Cristian parts as the final word.
Modern fundamentalist Islam is based on taking the Koran literally while also taking into account what was revealed in which historical context.
The jump from doubting late rather than early Sura surprisingly isn't as extreme as it might seem at first, if you consider the Koran in its current non chronological form to be a work created under Gods influence and intended to be read in non chronological order.

they're proto-libertarians who listen to punk rock and Marilyn Manson.
I wouldn't lump them in with atheists as a moniker, as atheism typically implies some form of warm and fuzzy secular humanist philosophy, which is generally more "friendly" than Satanism's staunch egoism.

What do taoists actually believe? i know pretty much nothing about it except from what was in 2hu, and something tells me thats not the best example.
I know its something about yinyang and living in balance with the tao. what is the tao, is feng-shui involved at all? Straight up touhou made me sort of interested in eastern beliefs but i have a less than easy time grasping the concepts.
in a nutshell i know
Buddishm=buddha, reincarnation 7?hells
Shinto=? nip emperor as divine providence or something
Taoism=yinyang chinese i think
Hindu=Cows and dot indians.
Im probably missing some and my knowledge definitely has some holes
>>28272025
I guess I would be Agnostic because I'm still trying to find out what God is before I answer whether or not one exists. I think whatever concept we have of something that omniscient is futile and to assume its existence or nature and live our lives and dictate the lives of others based on that assumption is dangerous and will always do more harm than good. So, I live my life without it and focus on being productive member of society. We'll find the answers someday and we'll find them the right way.

>ITS ALL IN THEIR BOOK!
No, it's not. It's all in the interpretation. Some people read the bible and devote their life to the poor and needy. Others read the same book and shoot up abortion clinics. When you ignore empirical reason, your behavior is completely unpredictable.
Agnostic Atheist, or "weak atheist", meaning I operate from the position of non-belief, but don't make the positive claim to non-existence.

That's nontheism. Atheism and agnosticism are not mutually exclusive. But fuck all these super-specific definitions, if I'm not religious, why do I need a special-snowflake name for my specific brand?

if there is a being that will judge us, I believe that we will be judged on our behavior and kindness. and I think that ill be fine in that case.
otherwise I'd consider myself an atheist, but I have no interest in pushing it on other people, and I think hardcore fedorafags give a bad name to others. its just not a part of my life and that's pretty much it.

myths are very powerful, it is easy to see the flaws in myths when they are ones you haven't been brought up with or converted into believing. if you subscribe to a particular religion it is very hard to see how silly it is because you've already decided to believe it is true.

obviously he was looking to flame, but, most religions are asking for a major leap of "faith" so large that looking at it from the outside will have a reasonable person asking for more evidence.

This. What the jebus freaks fail to realize is that, if they were brought up in the middle east, they would love Allah the same way they love Jesus. It all depends on early indoctrination.

Here's my take on this: Our culture, which is western civilization, will become weak without religion. Just look at great Britain, Sweden and Norway. They are a bunch of cucks. It is only a matter of time before a stronger civilization, such as the Muslims overtake us. I don't care if god exists; however, Christianity is what held western civilization together for thousands of years. Atheism = indifference, weakness, apathy, and failure. Religion = Dumb but holds together civilizations. All the Leftists and the sjw crowd come from our apathy and inability to form a cohesive union of westerners.
I like how most /k/ people are probably some type of 'Christian' despite the fact that /k/ and Christianity make zero sense together.
>Love they enemy

How does that kinda shit mesh with weapon ownership. Jesus wanted everyone to give up all their stuff and go preach his message of salvation.

>>28272324
Heh, it's actually quite simple. I actually entertain a couple of viewpoints, a mix of Taoism with Hinduism. The Taoists see the world as a natural event, a system of interdependence, you cannot have white without black, pain without pleasure, sound without silence and so on. Between white and black there exists an infinite spectrum of colors. Between pain and pleasure a wide spectrum. A Chinese kid wouldn't ask his mother "how was I made"? But instead "how was I grown".
The world wasn't made and it isn't composed of any separate events. "You" for example are still the big bang happening. Assuming it started with a big bang. There is no such thing as cause and effect. It all happens spontaneously of itself, this reality. You as a separate ego, a separate agent, experiencing this world separately is seen as a hallucination. The ego is as real as a telephone number.
YouI don't actually exist as a separate individual apart from the rest of the happening world. You grow your fingernails, beat your heart, breathe, just as much as you shine the sun.
The Hindus see the world as a drama. As an illusion. You play every part, every experience is you in a different lifetime. only you're playing as if you're really not. Basically, quantum mechanics are now discovering what eastern thought has been saying for thousands of years.
I recommend Alan Watts on YouTube for a very easy and very simple breakdown of eastern thought.
