Religious? No. Do I believe in God? Yes. Do I believe in Christ? Yes. What's the difference? I will not get all bent out of shape because someone else does not share my belief. That is between them and God from my point of view. I do not use my belief as an excuse to discriminate against others, be rude to others or anything like that. I will, instead do what Christ commanded of His followers and pray for them, not for anything bad, but for the hope that they have a good day, that nothing bad happens to them. If something bad does happen and it is within my ability to render assistance, I will do so. The prayer is mainly for myself though, that I not let zealous passion seep it's way into my heart and influence me to do something contrary to what I have just mentioned.

[quote]Religious? No.[/quote] [quote]I will, instead do what Christ commanded of His followers[/quote] ...Yeah, that's what religious means, following a religion.
-
I follow the teachings of the originator, not the babel spoken by preachers or put stock in the ceremonies.
-
Like I said, that's still religion, regardless of the source. Follow instructions from your drunk mate down the pub or a PhD in neurobiology, you're still following instructions.
-
I don't claim religion. Men, women, and children have been killed in the name of religion. I practice a way of life.
-
Which is another phrase for a religion, except serious religions always incorporate some form of supernatural or spiritual element. If I told you I watch Doctor Who religiously, what would that mean?
-
Not necessarily. I go to work on a regular basis. Is work a religion?

Edited by Tartan 118: 10/30/2015 10:22:00 PMArguably. I'll edit in here and say that work is a legal obligation, once employed. Doing something religiously could be taken as an optional activity done willingly, regularly, without fail (a phrase I used below). To do something religiously is to do it regularly, without fail. Religion is a way of life with beliefs you believe (like I said, almost always supernatural and spiritual in nature) and customs you practice regularly, without fail. The only difference between practicing a religion and doing something religiously is the belief(s). And those, you have.
