Re: Religion

[inkdust]

I was mainly prompted after learning about Daoism. I've always been sort of half-in, half-out when it comes to God/gods, but the idea of a pervasive pulse/current/cycle clicks for me. When I started giving that more thought, I realized that I've had a sense of a reincarnation of sorts since I was very young, but not the kind I had learned about - more of a breaking down into fundamental bits and then reassembling with other bits into new life.

So I've taken the concept of a soul/core and tied it in to this universal pulse/stream (my current task is actually looking for a term I want to use), so that all of existence is an ebb and flow, life and death, these tiny bits that combine and recombine in an infinite number of ways to create the core of every living thing. Each thing is made up of pieces of what came before, and then dissolves into pieces that become part of new things. It just makes sense to me that everything would be this sort of cycle - breath in and out, heart contracting and releasing, waves ebbing and flowing. So I've focused on that and I'm going from there.

That's why I think it's interesting that so many people equate religion and deity (besides the fact that not all religions include a god). I'm not particularly interested in finding a deity, but I'm very interested in having a religion. That's also why I tend to call mine a belief system or worldview, because I define religion differently from the majority. My religious studies background has a lot to do with that.

edit: I should add that other major influences on me have been Quakerism and a touch of Buddhism.

Re: Religion

I like that. I have some interest in Daoism too.

And I find it interesting that so many people equate religion with having a deity too. I know several religious atheists who would argue with that.
