All You Catholic's Out There

[georg ruf jr.]

 
I must've meant me. Yes, I don't believe in reincarnastion in a sence of me Georg coming back. I believe our spirit is out there. Sometimes seen as my spirit, but mostly not. I also believe our spirits mix with others and return as a kinda "mix". Nobody comes back to life.

and some quotes on religion

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
Douglas Adams

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
Dalai Lama

When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said "Let us pray." We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.
Desmond Tutu

Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" Priest: "No, not if you did not know." Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?"
Annie Dillard
Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who believe there is no God
Brown

I like the last quote in particular.
Yes, we don't need the fairies. The garden itself is god enough. No diffs if it has flowers or thorns.

@ Delia, yes we do think a lot alike. Two books you might find interesting: The Jesus Mysteries and The God Delusion.
@ Barbs, like your quotes, I'm guilty of the last one. I think I'm like the born again christians who have to tell everyone about their new-found faith. My turnaround regarding christianity feels like the world has been lifted off my shoulders and the pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place and I just want to shake people who don't question their beliefs and say wake-up, the bible doesn't make any sense! So you could call me the opposite of a born-again christian, a born-again agnostic.
