Title: WHAT RELIGION ARE YOU ?
Post by: ixchel on September 08, 2009, 12:47:10 pm
You Should Follow Taoism

(http://www.blogthingsimages.com/whatreligionshouldyoubequiz/taoism.jpg)

Your idea of religion (or spirituality) is broad and expansive.
You believe that God is everywhere and in everything.

For you, life is about achieving balance and harmony.
The more you can go with the flow, the happier you are.

You Should Follow Judaism 

(http://www.blogthingsimages.com/whatreligionshouldyoubequiz/judaism.jpg)
 
You believe that there is only one God, but you don't get too dogmatic about it.
Instead, you simply try to live the most ethical life you can.

Religious holidays and cultural identity are very important to you.
You enjoy following religious traditions and find meaning in them


Lol ok

i was brought up in a protestant family
i follow wiccan traditions held in my family
i converted to catholicism

I think the difference is that we believe that all is God and thus there is no ONE God to be observed.

We dont have an entity called God. In practice you can also say we are Agnostic in our approach because we dont try to find or please God as if God is an entity with an ego. God simply is the "isness" of all that is and is not. That's Taoism. It's a beautiful study.

Well said, Ann. "Your idea of religion (or spirituality) is broad and expansive.

I would like to add: Basically religion is a man made thing...  :)

By birth I am a Hindu. But I love all the best aspects of all the religions.

Well somebody had to be religious. 2funny

I suppose when you are in stories and the movie business you have to have an observers mind. Thus it would be very detrimental to your work if you condemned any religion or belief.

I too belief religion is only created by "the powers that be" as a tool to move and manipulate masses with but I dont blame the people who fell into that trap for being religious. While I might feel sorry for them sometimes I try to just talk around their chosen religion to say what I want them to know.

Eugene, honestly what I said was not as a professional filmmaker's mind. It was truly my personal belief and thinking.  :)

Oh. Yes I know. This site is informal so I would not expect you to be anything but yourself. ;D

But what I meant was that it makes sense for you do what you do because if you were the condemnation type of person you would not be able to do that completely or to derive joy from doing that. Only a good observer can see and appreciate both sides of a situation and thus represent it more real to his viewers again.

People who condemn do not see in wholeness.

 ;D Living every minute with love, grace and gratitude is more important than anything. I think all religions will teach the same. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

After all, life is nothing but a quest for love...  8)

That is true.

I also love "common" people a lot. I dont know why but I see a kind of an innocence in them that draws me. Most common people have their religion purely as a "Got that one covered" in their simple lives, but they live absolutely, simplistically spiritual.

For me the aim in life is to live. Love is already the case. So living is the thing for me. Or rather "being" in the now.

I took the quizz  8)

You Should Be An Atheist
So it's not really a religion. But that's the whole point.
You don't buy into the whole God thing... or you just don't care.

You may feel very alone in a world full of religious people.
But just remember, atheism has a long and rich intellectual history.


What can I say
