I'm an Athiest, always have been. My father before me (& my mother too). I guess when growing up with parents who are Athiests it's 'easier' to be one. Anyway the point of this is to say that when my father was "on his death bed"...he suddenly decided that he was no longer an Athiest, now he was an Agnostic. Talk about a 'cop out'...lol.

I love to hear people talk about their religion, or lack thereof, and always have a lot of questions. I lived with a Buddhist once, and I peppered her with questions all the time. It's amazing to me that someone could be without religion. I'm so intrigued by it. Maybe because I was raised with the fear of God, so to speak. I'd love to know more about what guides you through life and what you believe happens when you die. This may not be the forum for it, but I'm so curious.
Lisa - I am a spiritual but non-religious person, as is my wife. I guess you would say we are agnostic. You are welcome - and encouraged - to ask all the questions you like.
BTW, Buddhism is actually not a religion even though is is often described as such. As a non-theistic faith with no god or deity to worship, some scholars describe Buddhism as a philosophy or a moral code rather than an organized religion.
Personal discovery may fall outside the realms of religion or become the basis of it. I like to think more on what we can observe and measure than that which we cannot.
We are a mapping of the neurons in our brain. Those are fired up with electrical charges. Our body produces those charges through a chemical process, but seldom are conductors perfect. With each thought, conscious or subconscious there is loss as that charge travels through our body.
We know that power loss, does not equal lost power. It simply was transformed to be either absorbed again by us or shed into the environment.
I'm much more spiritual than religious. I also firmly believe in Karma. ThatтАЩs what guides me through life. I'm JewishтАжwhich is NOT a religionтАж.it is actually a race. I grew up with a Jewish mother & an atheist father. So was confused growing up. I once had a very interesting conversation with a Muslim. We both laughed hartily when we both said тАЬB.T.W. l'm an atheist. It was clear to both of us that we'd be better off without religion. Should you have any specific questions please feel free. Have a great day
