Ok, 2 quick questions, to everyone. What denomination do you consider yourself to be & do you ever go to your place of worship, if you have one? (apart from weddings & funerals)
So, going back to a question from around eight pages ago, I consider myself a Pantheistic Humanist, and as far as I’m aware, there are no denominations.
I regularly visit places of worship, but never a mosque, because there are none nearby, and, TBH, I only visit churches which are old, just because of the architecture – I love beautiful old buildings, and most, if not all mosques are pretty new, and the same with most RC churches.
I’d love to visit the old mosques in Spain and the Middle East, though, they’re beautiful.
I really don’t care what people want to believe, if it helps them get through the day, just so long as they don’t try to foist their beliefs on me – religion, or the belief in a superior being/deity, is a matter of faith, it’s not something that can be carted round door-to-door and sold like a set of encyclopaedias, or at the threat of violence if you don’t conform to a particular interpretation of what someone’s Book of Words says.
I worship at the altar of the Great Outdoors, I don’t need someone’s book or permission to do that.
As you were, carry on.
