Ask HN: Where does religion/spirituality fit into your life?
4 コメント
I don't understand how otherwise reasonable people have this need to incorporate some amount of woo into their lives. As far as I can tell its just because "that's what you do."
If you feel your value system is lacking, perhaps look into secular work on value systems, rather than looking for answers in the thought trap that is religion, even if it is made of warm fuzzies.

What is a religious value? I have values, some of them are the same as values that certain religions promote. Every religion promotes both good and bad values. I prefer to select my own.
my thought is that religion should become part of your life based on a spiritual awakening or pull. If it is based on an intellectual or practical basis (i.e. New Years resolution), it will not sustain itself. I am a fence rider and for the most part OK with it - if an awakening happens, great, but I can't see myself searching for an awakening when I am a happy person.
follow your conscience!
What are you religious values? Where/When/How did you start?
DISCLAIMER: I realize religion can be a sensitive and personal topic. I'm not AT ALL interested in debating the validity of different faiths, but VERY interested in how an agnostic goes about effectively incorporating religion/faith into their lives.
