Hello everybody,
I am fairly new here, and think I have found a great place to express and share my views, I love the approach of the Skeptiko show and find it a refreshing alternative to mainstream ideologies who think the materialistic approach is water tight and without opposition, Anything that opposes materialistic ideology seems to have it's voice drowned out by the relentless drive of materialism, so I find this a refreshing alternative to air views and perhaps draw conclusion.
Recently I have come to the conclusion that although I don't identify myself as having any religious affiliation, I don't decry them either, I believe the underlying principle of all faith's, is to bring each other closer together and closer to God. But saying this, How do I identify myself, what am I. I believe in God, but not religion, I am sympathetic to Vedic philosophy, and also the Tao, but yet I don't subscribe to neither fully, I just simply believe in God, but I should also mention, my views are not compatible with deism, I believe God is personal, as I think God is a person, who also has intelligence. Therefore God must also be personal.
So I think I would identify myself as SBNR, Spiritual But Not Religious.
How about you.
Thanks
