Just like it says on the box, we have a kind of poll-esque thingy, but using comments.
So, seeing as how I have little of interest to post at the moment, I thought I'd ask such folk as feel inclined to tell me about their particular flavour of religiosity in a comment.
In more depth: This is entirely optional, but I think it'd be interesting and fun to learn what the people who read my journal think and believe about life, the universe and everything. Feel free to include anything you feel is interesting, noteworthy or pertinent, don't hesitate to mix in links as desired, and don't feel like you have to say anything you don't particularly want to.
The comments will be screened; if you'd like yours to be unscreened, then just say so.
Needless to say, those who use others' comments to spark flamewars will be hacked to bits by hungry, angry cannibals. You have been warned. Hungry, angry cannibals are standing by.

Date: 2006-04-20 04:58 pm (UTC)I’m an agnostic, veering towards atheism, but I still have this fuzzy spot at the back of my brain that insists in believing that everything works out fine and that what goes around comes around. I believe in karma as an actual real life thing – if you are a decent human being and try to help people, you will be surrounded by people who appreciate that and do the same for you.
I’m a pessimistic optimist – plan for the worst, but I do believe that everything works out okay in the end, and the thing that traumatises the hell out of you one week leads to an opportunity that you wouldn’t have had otherwise the next.
As regards life after death, I don’t believe in a soul or heaven or sitting for all eternity on a cloud – but I do believe that, like the physics principle of the conservation of energy says, energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. I think something from us goes on in some way. Bugger, have gone on a bit. A mate of mine puts the gist of my argument far better in this thread (http://fluffworld.livejournal.com/152292.html?thread=1127652#t1127652) on my LJ when I asked the same questions a few weeks back.
