in Introduce Yourself
Hi, All -

Just looking to add some non-religious friends on MFP.

I'm a "spiritual" person, in general, so I'm not looking specifically for atheists or anything... but what I'm really seeking is friendship with those who find power in themselves and the journey of others.

I'm not Christian or religious, so when I leave posts/notes, etc. and get replies such as "the strength of Christ will get you through" - well, I appreciate the sentiment and positivity, but it's just not very helpful for me.

If you're a positive person who believes that you are in control of your own destiny and well-being, and would like to be involved in motivational relationships with similar-minded people living in like fasion... add me? :)

Best of luck to all!

    Hey, I'm not Christian either! Very spiritual though. I have my faith, and I don't want to be converted! LOL! Sending you a friend request!

    Feel free to add me. I'm pretty sure I am at my goal weight from my sweat and hard work, Jesus didn't swoop down from the heavens and magically remove the weight. At least I don't think so....

    (not religious)

    I hear you - wonder if you've been reading the same topic I have lol! I'm an anarchic hedgewitch, very tolerant of other people's belief systems - actually enjoy having friends of different faiths - but do not appreciate well-meaning attempts at conversion. Anyone can feel free to add me. Oh, and out of respect for myself I am 'allowed' to have male friends lol!

    I'm Tibetan Buddhism. An actual tenet of buddhism says 'actions have consequences'--I'm just not deist or theist, and know that it's up to me to live my own life, so I do--! I don't actually know how to add friends here, since basically I just write down what I eat, see that sometimes people in communities can be really mean to each other, and so I don't get involved much with that stuff.

    Can someone please explain to me what the difference between "spiritual" and "religious" is? This has always confused me.

    AW MAN! You just ruined the argument I made today to a friend, "I've never seen a Looking For Non-Religious Friends thread" I said. So much for that.

    Ok this'll be locked because they did that with the Christian thread and turn about is fair play.

    But we have a group, MFP Atheists, message me for an invite.

    Now wave as this all goes away...

    I'd call myself spiritual but have never had any use for organized religion. Feel free to add me.
