What do you believe?

[Lilith79]

IRT other relgions and your own personal path?
Do you believe that there is only one true path?
Do you believe that we're all right?

I believe that we're all right, what is my belief will happen for me, and what John Doe's belief will happen for him. We can't know for 100% certain, so why not be optimistic about the whole thing? :) :fpeace:

I believe that reality is in the eye of the beholder. Meaning that if you really truly believe something, then it is true, at least to you. Obviously if you don't believe something, you think it doesn't exist. so everybody is different. I don't think that anybody is ever wrong as far as what is true and whats not. There are many sides to everything, so it all works out.

I believe that I'm right....for myself. As for other people, they can do whatever they want.

As for actual spiritual beliefs, that's kind of personal and ever changing. Here's a line I used to have in my sig:

"I am: always changing."

I like to say stuff off the top of my head...

Hey...I don't believe there is any 'right' path. Only what's right for you. :)

and I believe evangelists should be forced to each cockroaches for all eternity.

Iris dislikes evangelists. Could you tell? :lol:

To suggest that there is "no one true path" is to deny the
absolute truth of EVERY path. It relegates each person's "truth"
to subjective abstraction, removed from universal validity. One
must walk with conviction upon their path, firmly placing one foot
in front of the other, KNOWING that they are not walking in
circles. Doubt is the enemy of faith; without faith, every
path leads nowhere.
Each path MUST BE "the One True Path" for those who walk upon it.

I believe that each individual has to choose their own path and that there isn't one right path so to speak.The world is made up of diverse things why can't our religions be diverse too?

[semi]

I believe anyone pursueing a spiritual path is right, be it Wicca, Christianity, Buddhism, or Voodoo. All paths lead to the same place---enlightenment---if the path is actually followed. I believe those that have no spiritual path should get one and start evolving so they stop slowing down the rest of us.

When I was 14 I came up with an analogy about how I felt about this subject, and I think this is the perfect place to share it:
God is an artist, the world his canvas and the world's religions his paints. He can paint his canvas in a solid color, and make it boring and unintersting, or he can fill it with yellows, and greens, purple's and blues and create a masterpiece.

In my opinion whoever is up there has created this beautiful amazing world, that is so because of it's diversity. Why would a being as omnipotent as god, want a creation that is bland, and boring???

All I know is that what I believe makes sense to me. I really 'don't get' some religions and can't make sense of them in my own mind. There are some religions that I think - how can they be so guillible as to believe that. It doesn't make sense to me at all, but then I suppose they might just as easily not 'get' what I believe. If people are happy then leave them be. I've never been one to try and convert the masses, religion and beliefs are a very personal thing.

[Sleet]

I don't even try to address the question of "Who's right?" All I know is what I've expereinced. I believe my Goddess has called me to her. What other people and their gods have worked out among themselves, I can't speak to.

:D Hmmmmm........let me think.......I believe that I will have another joint
and beer...........

My thoughts exactly. I have gotten into many a debate with my dad about this one. ;)

[Tarbh Nathroch]

I believe we are all right. Different religions and the customs and traditions of them I think are just different people and cultures trying to understand something that is too big for the mortal brain to comprehend.

[Mau]

we ain't all right...just me, I'm always right :D

I believe that only you can choose your own path, and if it's a path that you think will work for you, then do it. :)
