 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Not that I've ever had any great sway towards any of the main (or even minor) faiths myself, but I've always wondered what drives people to live a personal life integrated with religeon. I watch documentaries that cover various faiths and must admit to being a little envious that people can feel something so much. Any SBB posters consider themselves amongst the faithfull, whichever orientation, and consider it to have a positive impact on your life and those around you? Does it affect the way you make decisions in an everyday kind of way? Does it affect your training or competing at all? Have to say that I dont feel any kind of pull towards the any of the holy books or their teachings, but why other people do is of interest. | ||

 'Looks like Ben Affleck according to Pagan' Member 876, 2506 posts SQ 220, BP 140, DL 260620.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Im not a fan, but if I had to pick one it would be buddhism. It doesnt seem to ask an awful lot of you other than be nice to people - No smiting, or abstinence or jihads. | ||

 Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq | I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls. - Albert Einstein. Now i'm no Einstein but he has a point. | ||

 My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts | I've had to start attending church every sunday... as we want to have our daughter (nearly 4 y/o) christened.... now, morally i disagree with this... as I believe a child should be "faithless" until an age where they can investigate and decide. ive been christened (as a baby), but am now atheist... i honestly see religious people as deluded. my mrs is christian but not really practising. but, for my daughter to go the the local school she must be christened... she could go to the other school in the area but (and sorry in advance), it is only really for polish, indian and pakistani kids.... there are very few kids there who's language at home is english.... i want my daughter to attend a school where the kids are mainly from english families (english christians, english muslims.... whatever, but still mainly english) so i have had to put my morality on hold to allow the christining to go ahead... but, why should my daughter go to a s**t school because of me? i dunno, doesnt feel right, feels like im taking the piss out of the church... but hey ho life is life | ||

Member 1093, 5446 posts SQ 160, BP 105, DL 225490.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence. Dicky Dawkins. | ||
