You mean like a human dying, then being "resurrected" and then ascending to heaven? lol...just givin you shit cause of your comment...
I don't believe in any religion or any God. I just believe what I believe, hard to explain it in detail unless I'm talking with someone face to face.
Most people look at the forces working in our universe and call it "God" because they don't know what it is...I call it "ENERGY" because that IS what it is.
I've been reading up on Christianity, Buddhism for awhile, and of course the beliefs of Atheists. Greek and Roman stuff too, I find that really interesting.
But what I find most interesting...is that Christianity came AFTER most of these religions, and it BITES so much shit from every other religion it's not even funny. At least, that's what I've come to believe based on everything I've read over the last 4-5 years.

^^I was going to take some religious studies courses at my school but I didn't have time. There's actually a major and minor for it, the minor is like 20 credits, so that's like 4-5 classes.
I took a philosophy class and the prof went over Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and some other religions, and then the stupid bitch had the nerve to call Atheism a religion. I raised my hand and was like, "hold up there, they don't believe in God, it's not a fucking religion, it's a belief system without external imaginary personas that people believe in.
After that she didn't cover Atheism cause she knew she didn't fucking know anything about it, except what she read in the text book, which was much less than what I knew at the time.
JL, I hope you have a knowledgeable/good professor teaching the class. Where are you taking the class at?

buddhism, hinduism, taoism, rasta, people of the book.
i dont really study them as works of gods but i take the lessons and advice from them and consider them and their application to the world today and to my life. i leave the dogma and rituals and "facts" and promises in the garbage where they were created and belong, imo. but gaining the insight from other perspectives without having to pay the "costs" of worship and absolute acceptance is very satisfying to me.
its like a metaphorical highlander chopping the heads off of all of mans created deities and taking their power (things i can use to my benefit) and disposing of their weakness (things intended to violate my autonomy).
