Losing faith in ones religion...
-
OMG
how can you do something like smashing the statue?
i mean it's ok that you don't believe in something but
don't have to go to the extreme of smashing things right? -
Well.......people do stuff when they're stressed out. Not much point in saying it's wrong when it's already done......

I tried to be a freethinker, which I always wanted, but gosh, it was hard.

hey taoist oso religion rite?Originally posted by larren:Anyone who has the feelings of losing ones religion because of the crappy stuff/rites u hv 2 go through or anyone is in to free thinker type?
Last time i was taoism pui very sucks. Must perform lots of superstitious rites & full of crap also. Last time my mum perform lots of those ang kong kind of rites....humpf rubbish man got so bloody annoyed. One i asked her that if i dun go through it will it happen 2 me, then she said yes very bad for u & dun wan 2 say wat will happen so i diam diam. then i ask her i wanna be a free thinker because got more freedom & dun belive in all these crappy stuff, & again my mum says even worst more bad things will happen 2 me. So i very annoyed go to the altar catch duo peh gong statue + kong fu zhi & smash it on the floor & answered my mother if i do this i die early & my generation got cursed & jinxed forever. Later we blow things up after that.
After this incident i become buddhist as it has no god but has the teachings of life. So anyone got any comments abt it?
those rites might look stopid
but its tradition -
i'd rather change my religion than change my beliefs. So far, i've gone through Christianity, Zen and Wicca ..

Talk_cockÂ’s Beloved Quote:
“Religions are different routes converging on the same point (Spirituality). What does it matter that we take different routes so long as we reach the same goal? I believe that all religions of the world are true more or less. I say ‘more or less’ because I believe that everything the human hand touches, by reason of the very fact that humans are imperfect, becomes imperfect.”
