Religiosity
Jun. 22nd, 2003 04:01 pmWell, I can't say it did an AWFUL job of pegging me (I've actually attended the local Unitarian services with
taxlady), but I also had a real problem answering the questions. I suppose, were I to sum up my religious beliefs it would something like:
"Questions about the nature of God are unanswerable because they are fundamentally meaningless. This does not imply that there is or is not a God. Personal "salvation" is an equally meaningless concept, as it involves a relationship with the unknowable. Relationships with ones fellow human's, animals, plants and the environment are a different matter as they are both manifest and knowable. If one wants to change their relationship with the world, in whole or in part, one need 'merely' change their behaviour with respect to it. The remaining 99% of life is in figuring out whats good for you, as opposed to what you want, so that you may behave accordingly"
