saw somebody write about religion, and wondered? whats your religion?

Recommended Posts

I'm an Odinist. Yeah that's exactly how it sounds; I worship the old Nordic pantheon. Some may refer to me as a Paegan. Not being raised with any sort of religious views, there was a point in my life were I needed something to believe in, and put my faith in. Old World religions have always fascinated me, Nordic being the most interesting. There is a code of rules to live by, much like the commandments (some of them are even the same) and I related to them and found it was something I could live my life by. I have read the equivalent of the Nordic bible; the creation mythos etc. I find that I love that there is humour in most of the stories, and that the gods themselves don't take themselves seriously.

 

I suppose I follow it more as a spiritual thing, less of a "There is only the Nordic gods, and those are the ones that have always existed and always will."

I was christened catholic at the age of 5 because no primary school would accept me without a religion (my mother didn't want to christen me or my sister, she herself wasn't and she thinks Religion is the root of all evil since so many fights start over it). I don't practice the religion though, and have gone to other churches (like orthodox, protestant etc)

If i would say i'm anything, i'd say Pagan, cause they have a simple rule "Do what you will as long as you harm none"

But when you say you're a pagan people think you're a crazy closet witch.

I honestly don't know what I am. I believe in many spiritual things and yes, I believe God exists just as much as the Greek gods and goddesses exist. I'm not the kind of person who's devout and would dedicate my life to any deity because I also believe in freedom and I really don't like the idea of an omnipotent being controlling my fate. But there's something so magical in religion and mythology so thinking it applies to the reality of life makes everything seem a bit more special.

 

you wrote this 1 month ago but :D well just wanted to say that i believe thus: Noone really controls your fate in my opinion. God just knows what youll do without interfering. Also im not the guy who likes goin to church ( kinda boring lolz ). One last thing: once i was worryin about smthin too much, and then i just rly prayed to happen. Ya know what happened 3 seconds later? my wish came true im not jking. i doubt it was a coincidence. Thats why i believe god knows what you will do ( since the thing that happened would actually happen if if i didnt pray, smone could say ). Thats just an opinion ofc :)

I was born into a Christian family, by the time I was 13 I considered my self spiritual since I didn't believe in the bible one bit (4everbee's post and the fact that the bible goes against science a LOT). Eventually I just considered myself agnostic

As someone who has as much spirituality as a brick wall would, along with being incredibly indecisive when it comes to blah blah cosmos god blah blah, I guess it's safe to say at this point in my life, I'm agnostic.
