[Rules] [FAQ] [Fringe Guide] [Ranks] [/fringe/] [/asatru/] [/edgy/] [/4chon/] [/lel/] [/ask/]
RIP freedomboard.kirara.ca.
SERIOUSLY GUYS STOP BREAKING RULE 2
The rules are simple and only apply to the creation of threads on /fringe/: 1. Don't make duplicate threads of topics that already exist unless the previous thread has hit the bump limit. 2. Don't make threads just to ask questions, actually present substantial information if you're going to make a thread. 3. Don't make a thread purely to shitpost (you will be forgiven if it's a major GET), just shitpost / loosh farm inside of threads that already exist. 4. Post threads that fall under the subject matter of /fringe/ (creepypasta FYI generally does not fall under /fringe/'s very broad subject matter, look at the sticky to see what subjects we discuss on /fringe/)

Some people choose to follow a certain God, others do not.

Please tell me /fringe/, what God(s) do you serve and why?

Do they bless or punish you?

Did you ever see them/him/her?

In what way does this influence your life?

I used to follow the God of the bible, Yahweh, though not anymore. I have prayed a lot in my life, but it was the people around me who made life worth living.

In my eyes, God has done nothing for his beloved creation. It has always been shitty, and it seems he doesn't care. I don't even know if he exists.

Jesus is quite a different story. I have a lot of respect for him. Whether he was a higher entity or not, he was a human among us, he helped a lot of people and he showed many people a better way too live. The same applies to Siddharta Gautama.

They were humans, and they helped other humans.

But what have the Gods ever done for us?

Why would one follow them or serve them?

There really is only one god, it's the universe in it's entirety and all the inhabitants. All the other "gods" were most likely high spiritual celestial beings who came down for whatever reasons. Essentially everyone still connected with the creator is a minigod working towards it's return to the collective.

I worship the only God.

The Awareness that lies behind my ego. The God of duality. The God of paradoxes. The God that makes up all of reality and all ego's within it.

God has done everything for creation,

why else could you post here?

Think about it, God is amazing!

Here lies one view.

Whenever a deity has a name, any bloody fool can start talking about it right away. In the case of 'big', all-encompassing or omni-something deities, the bloody fool is always wrong (and so is everyone and everything else, including all the higher-high-highs /fringe/zards claim to be).

It can be:

any god

any creator

everything, universe, chaos, nihil

energy, consciousness, (other new age stuff)

whatever unique snowflake deity people come up with

The bloody fools are always less complex than the deity they talk about. The entirety of their mind can barely hold a tiny fragment of all the complexity the deity is (since it is indeed just a tiny fragment of it). Anything they say, any book they write, any book their alien/celestial/higher bosses write and give to them, any work of art, any message, transmission and transferred thought or wisdom: these things can only hold and communicate a tiny fragment of the deity's complexity. You can claim to be any sort of sage, messenger, ascended, magus, etc; you are not the whole deity, and cannot communicate or understand it.

The name matters little, for it is just name. You can call 'it' anything you want, really. But when someone starts to talk about 'it', the more they talk the more wrong they get. That's how well spread religions with huge lore and many denominations manage to be crap. They never were good, but as time goes by people will start arguing about what did and didn't happen, how things were said or how they happened, assemble sacred texts then argue, reinterpret and rewrite sacred texts, make conclusions, come up with different versions, divide, and drown in their own stupidity.

It is possible to talk about most things, but there's a point on the simple/complex or small/huge end of the scale (might be the same point) where it just won't fit the minds and the message.

The Gods that appeared to Joseph Smith in Palmyra in 1820.

I don't really see God as interacting that directly in my life, certainly not nearly as much as my contemporaries, rather he can only influence the minds, giving them ideas and inspiration, of people, in so affecting the world. I've never seen him in person, nor do I think I ever will in life. He influences my life mostly through the teachings of his prophets, which I follow. The Temple is the only place where I can have spiritual experiences though.

I follow God mostly because I feel that it has improved my life (and I mean the various aspects of the religion), at least in comparison to the bleak sensory addiction called atheism.
