A lot of people have a belief system that is strictly based on religious dogma.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't believe in dogmas and theologies. I just believe in being a good person.
I feel like we need to be aware of the ways we use and misuse religious dogma: whether it takes us deeper into love and inclusion or it separates us.
Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make when in the presence of religious dogma.
I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion; it's too cheap and easy to do, and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system.
Organized belief in spirituality - that's what a religion is.
The equation of religion with belief is rather recent.
Christianity, with or without its whole apparatus of dogma, will endure in its essence for thousands of years after us; there will always be spiritually-minded people who will be ennobled by it, and some made great.
So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.
In all the antique religions, mythology takes the place of dogma; that is, the sacred lore of priests and people... and these stories afford the only explanation that is offered of the precepts of religion and the prescribed rules of ritual.
From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.
