What are your thoughts on the concept of having faith in a Higher Power but choosing to distance oneself from established religious doctrines?

  • I have a different perspective—I don't believe that God intervenes in anything. If there is a God/Gods, I think they simply created the universe and set everything in motion.

  • Thanks mate! I've been studying Islam, Christianity (my family is religious but tolerates different beliefs, so I have a mix of both worlds), as well as Buddhism. However, none of these religions really grabbed my attention.

  • Deism is a great reference. It's awesome tho think that some leaders and thinkers from the past also shared similar ideas. The idea of a higher power that doesn’t meddle in the day-to-day but set the universe in motion definitely resonates with my thoughts. It's like being part of a grand design, but having the freedom to navigate it in our own unique ways. It's always enlightening to link personal beliefs with historical philosophies. Makes you feel part of a bigger conversation, doesn't it?

  • Well let me ask you this: how specifically would it not be okay?

    Great question! For me, it's not about it being okay or not in the traditional sense. I just feel that spirituality can be a personal journey that doesn't necessarily require the framework of an organized religion. It's like taking a road trip without a map - sometimes the discoveries you make on your own are the most meaningful. I believe in being a good human, guided by my own understanding of a higher power, morals, and the world around me. It's about finding my own path and respecting others' paths too. What's your take on this?

  • I strongly agree that religious establishments are creations of humans. Even if the claims within religious canons are true, the religion and texts are all interpretations by flawed human beings, and the rituals practiced were invented by them. Growing up in a religious family, I understand how easy it is to be indoctrinated into a certain faith. I believe that early exposure to religion can have a corrupting effect on our minds.
