Im curious to know what everyone on Cannabis.com believes in. I myself am a staunch atheist.
just to stir up a little RESPECTFUL debate on the side, Wouldnt you get bored in heaven? Youre supposedly there for an eternity so what would keep you amused for say 3 million years?
Well seeing as i am simple minded. Probably a ball or something.
Whatever we find pleasurable during our life in my case it would be smoking grass and getting laid, thats not against any dogma is it ?
A yo-yo and a lot of marijuana.
im agnostic
Hellenic/Kemetic Reconstructionism here (wiki article cus I know most people havn't heard of either of those, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenic_Reconstructionism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemetic_reconstructionism )
As for what would keep me entertained in the afterlife? Friends, family, some good movies and tunes, and good old maryjane.
I beleive people when they say that dinosaurs are real, cause either that or its one hell of a well played out prank
so from that you should be able to guess my answer
were talking about eternity though man. What about when you got to that point when you had talked about everything there was to talk about and done everything you could ever do. I just cant concieve of existing endlessly.
I believe in a supreme being but i still consider myself agnostic. I constantly think of where all the matter in the universe came from so either a supreme being put it there or we are living inside of this surpeme being.
Militant atheist (see signature).
I have a hunch that when you are out of your bodily form, time is a non-issue. Neither is Boredom.Quote:

(10-12%?).
I believe that through the use of some substances, such as salvia divinorum, ayahausca, mushrooms, etc, we can gain small insights into the spiritual world we are "blocked" off from. Dreams as well.
When I was high off of 1 Ounce of mushrooms, I truly felt like I was experiencing the different dimensions meshed together. It was not a pleasant experience, I was having trouble integrating the situation. I could see reality as it was, but there were layers behind it, every sense was a feeling that existed on it's own accord.
It's too hard to properly describe what I believe. Let's just say I am agnostic, since I am not mono or polytheistic, I can't make sense of what the spiritual realm really is, but I know it exists.
I think it is arrogant to assume one knows EXACTLY what happens when you die. I mean, that is what it all boils down to right? When you die, you get the answer, which religion was right? Were they all wrong? No more debates, just the truth.
I've heard some people say "But maybe they are all right in their own way?" Umm... These religions directly conflict with each other, so if one was right the others have to be wrong. If you see pearly gates, the Bhuddists were wrong, If you become reborn in another life form, the theists were wrong.
Anyone ever see the southpark episode where a bunch of people go to hell? I think they hit it bang on with that message.
"But I was a devout catholic, or I was a perfect Muslim, or hindu or Bhuddist?"
"I'm sorry to inform you, but uh.... the mormons were the correct choice"
and everyone sighs... dammnit, I picked the wrong one.
I kinda hope that I have a chance to meet my christian friends in the after life and tell them "HA!, I told you you were fuckin wrong"
maybe they will be sayin it to me... we will see.
In a wierd kinda way, it's making me curious almost like I wanna see now. But of course that's not gunna happen, I'll just chill and smoke weed until the end comes.
YouTube kicks ass. :)Quote:

if there is a heaven and our spirits go there when we die, we won't suffer the falls of the flesh.

To answer the original question, I am an Atheist. I have an American Atheist membership certificate, signed by Madlyn Murray O'Hair, with my name on it.

I'm agnostic.
I don't follow any set dogma, but I do have very strong spiritual/religius beliefs.
It's very complicated to explain, but I will try:
I recieved a number of "visions" which aparentally other people have had as well, there is a "supreme being" but nothing like a "God" now, there are Gods, but the supreme being is different. We are all part of the supreme being, but we just don't allways realise it.
When you die a number of things can happen. If you are hindu, you get reincarnated, if you are Christain, you go to heaven, etc.
It's all very complecated and I can't explain every detail of it.
Baptist.
As to the boredom question, I agree, heaven would become an agonizing place to live. Especially if hell also exists; imagine having to spend eternity knowing some of your loved ones are being tortured for eternity and there's nothing you can do about it, just because they committed sins and didn't repent.
Anywho, in an eternal heaven, you would eventually experience everything there is to experience. Then you would experience it all over again. And again. And again. For all eternity. Experiencing everything there is to experience over and over and over again. You'd be begging God to end your cursed existence once and for all.
We are temporary creatures. We die and then we're dead forever. Let's not forget that it's a good thing.
im not sure... agnostic... but i think the teachings of buddah are very good.... more of a philosophy than religion, and it doenst compete with science or teach hate
sanguinekane, may I ask what "sanguine" means to you?
thatd make u agnostic... :DQuote:

i was born protestant, but ive only been to church like once and i didnt like it so i didnt go back and i dont really belive in it anyways. so yeah.
I was born Christian and gave up Christ when I wanted to become Jewish. Then I got tired of reading about religious texts and realized that people have been contemplating the very same thing , fighting over the very same thing for thousands of years. So I've abandoned conventional religion altogether, because I don't believe it takes belief in something unseen to find the kingdom of heaven.
My personal beliefs tend to be Buddhist for the simple reason that I feel we can detach from suffering with the right kind of attitude. I reject Christianity because I know the scriptures have been changed, manipulated and perverted--not to mention all the atrocities committed by Christians and Catholics over the years. It is basically a confidence trick--to submit to the will of Jesus is submitting to the will of church. The Church , before it was the nice friendly place where you could get saved , was just another word for political ruler. The church told everybody what to do, how to do it, told the people of the Pope's "papal infalibility". To top it all off--to ensure that you do whatever they say, they falsify a story of how you will burn in hell (literately feeling your flesh burning) forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever, should you choose to reject Jesus Christ as a savior (thus rejecting the church's form of mind control over fearful people).
As history proves it, the church (and most religious institutions) have been used as a tool to control everybody. We see this in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as well as other worldly religions.
So, as it is so well-worded and spoken by Eve Libertine of Crass, "I'll make no subscription to your paradise". Bravo! We don't need people telling us what is right and pure, when the very people telling us what to do are out molesting our boys, fighting wars, suicide bombing, jihading, creating dogma which only hinders the progress and potential of this world.
It's not that I don't believe in a divine god, I just don't believe what I've been told my whole life. If I meet my creator when I die, then I will thank him for giving me such a mind that allowed me to think for myself--for allowing me to reject the heresey spread by the majority of people.
Relgion--it's just another form of mind control.
RAmen to what IanCurtisWishlist said!
