re: what was your religious/spiritual upbringing and what is it now ?

quote:

Southern Baptist and still Southern Baptist. Those mouthing about the Baptist preacher and getting rich every Baptist preacher I know worked a second job.

Maybe if you count the buffet line as a second job. 90% of baptist pastors I met were fat as hell.

First there was nothing. That nothing exploded and now we have human existence. LOL.

I have some ocean front property in Arizona for dirt cheap too.

Episcopalian
I guess I'm kind of an animist/electric church dude on good days and verge on nihilism on bad days. Nobody else has this struggle?

Baptist for a bit, Presbyterian for a bit with step family, catholic with other step family, and mom did the non denomination thing for a bit.

I know..

I guess I'd consider myself agnostic now

So many Catholics

its the whole message from god to have 9 babies thing

Very possible if not probably there is a higher power.

Doesn't mean all religions aren't bullshite. Even as a kid I felt if there was a god he would make himself clear and we wouldn't have 10,000 religions and denominations.

Most religions are just cultural norms overlayed onto a set of beleifs that make people fear dying less.

Just look at how for decades Christians used the bible to justify slavery. Then civil rights happened and they said it wasn't ok after all. You'd think if they were really talking to god he would have made it clear from the get go.
