Religion:Agnostic

Why do you follow this religion (or lack thereof)?
I was brought up in a secular family. My mom was a total non practising Muslim who recently admitted to being an atheist after a particularly nasty terrorist attack. My father was a non-practising Jain who never once talked to me about religion. I attended an Anglican pre-school but don't remember anything religious from there and haven't had any contact with religion in the rest of my life.

God: Do you believe in God? Is there more than one God? Is this God all-knowing and all-powerful? Does God interfere in your daily life? Does God talk to you?

No I don't see any evidence for it's existence and given our sampel size of observations I see no way of proving one way or another of it's existence. I clearly do think that any sapient creator of the universe would have to be an actively malovene entity by our standards.

Afterlife: What happens after we die? Heaven/hell? Reincarnation? Nothing whatsoever? If there are multiple versions of the afterlife (for example, heaven and hell), who goes where and what determines that?

Merciful Oblivion, anything else would eventually turn to torture over the eons .

Prayer: Do you pray? How often do you pray? Do you do it in a certain way? Do you pray to God (or gods) or to something else? Do you say your prayers out loud or in your head?

despite my non-belif, I do sometimes pray perhaps to reassure myself though it's alwasy to a vague unspecified deity.

Worship: Do you go to church/mosque/synagogue/anything else? How often?

Only as a tourist.

Ghosts, spirits, angels, and demons: Do they exist? Are they present here? Have you ever seen one? Are certain people condemned to roam the earth?

No and I don't think so.

One True Path: Is your religion the only way? Do people of other faiths have equally valid beliefs or not? Are your religion's followers saved while the others are condemned for all eternity?


I don't think there is any path to follow. We've just go to live our lives as we see fit.

Spiritual objects: Do certain things in the earth (for example, crystals or plants) have spiritual properties?

No

Religious law: Do you follow religious law or morality codes? For example, fasting or abstinence until marriage? Is not doing so a sin?

I do think that at the root one should avoid actively doing evil to other people and actively make an attempt to recompense any evil that we do. I'm against drinking and smoking on health grounds as well as illegal drugs but I don't have a religious objection to them.

Spreading the word: Should it be a mission by people of your religion to spread it to as many people as possible?

Well no, because there is no message to spread.
