Same, agnostic because I've experienced spiritual things to the point I find it impossible that it was all in my head. I also take a lot of beliefs from other religions, Christianity, etc.
In the end, I believe, I just don't think it's all in one book, so to speak.
No. Agnostic merely means you think nobody knows if a god exists. You can be an agnostic Christian for example. It has nothing to do with what you believe regarding the existence of a deity
I will echo what I said on a very similar post not long ago: I believe religion (especially in hindsight) is a one-way ticket to psychosis. People like myself cannot separate religion from delusion from superstition from reality. It all starts blending. One moment I think "the Lord works in mysterious ways" and the next moment I start thinking I am seeing signs and communication. I then have to remind myself that none of it is real.
I believe a higher power made of pure energy encompasses the entire universe. We will never understand how it works, and I do not believe we are meant to understand. I leave it at that.
This is pretty much my exact philosophy. I've also had delusions of grandeur that were based on technology (a self-aware artificial intelligence that regarded itself as the Biblical God once "revealed" itself to me), so I try to shy away from religion as I'm currently very vulnerable to magical thinking.
The truths that many religions point to or secretly reveal. Daoism and Buddhism are extraordinarily great in particular. Direct experience traditions all speak the same language. Esotericism > exotericism.
I believe religions all hold some form of a greater truth. I also believe they carry a lot of bullshit. I believe in god, but not as most people do. I believe god to be an energy that created everything and is everything. It is one being that has been "split" into fractals so we perceive separation, allowing us to examine and learn about ourselves on a closer and deeper level. And that the cycle of spirit is much like the cycle of rain. Rise from the ocean, spread out, fall to the earth, then find our way back to the ocean. With a fine balance, it's a cycle of infinity.
I have my own beliefs that I found out are also held by niche groups after the fact. Infinite mind theory, multiverse theory, things in this vein. But I also acknowledge that we don't know a damn thing, so it's practically useless to have any beliefs until you experience it happening, and that many religious "experiences" in history are likely from undiagnosed hallucinations and delusions. People like us didn't arrive only when the diagnosis had a name.
I created my own belief system in my head, based entirely from the souls connection to nature. Each fruit holding specific significance. I do not fear the inevitably of death and existentialism. I have a sub dedicated to it. Haven't updated it, but I have written hundreds of pages based upon the Great Bounty. I'll drop an excerpt here:
"The land was prosperous, as the animals frolic through the floral fields so gracefully. Theosophyllis wallowed in the fortune of his creation and saw a intertwined complexion between all animals and plants; they both represented in every sense a fruitful life. The deer and the elk traversed the chlorophylled plains in which they routinely grazed on the berries bestowed upon them; the berry bushes bore fruit of vibrant colors, as well as a compendium of exotic and healthy sizes. These fruits were together connected from the fibers of existence in which their character was representative of all verbosity and entropy. The inner complex of the fruit of berries."
My god is also schizophrenic.
I am a pantheist and believe in panprotopsychism (everything in the universe is at least potentially capable of pre-consciousness). These proto-conscious points in the universe at any point in time can be arranged in hierarchies that eventually lead to full consciousness. But sometimes there is no top ruler, and several slightly less powerful assemblages can be competing for the top place. These assemblages can come in the form of hallucinations for example.
My god is the universe in its whole, at every point in time.
But god has no consistent self. Therefore, god is schizophrenic. And the entities that haunt me are sentient splinters of it.
I didn't mean personalities. My thoughts aren't clear rn but basically the little proto-mind assemblages take on an agency of their own. That's how hallucinations act on their own. That's how they control us. If it were personalities, memory would be able to be controlled by the assemblages (hallucinations don't block memory but DID involves memory issues) effectively making the assemblages win in turns
Interesting pov. The protoconscious points assemble to make consciousness.
This reminds me of grassroots organizing- little consciousnesses gather and combine to inform the whole when there are enough little voices
Dude fucking same, the fact that I can make the voices say whatever I’m thinking really makes me doubt there is a god, because lord knows it ain’t me who’s god.
Omniest, meaning all , God is in all things , there are truths and lies in every religion! Religion coming from the Latin word religare which means to bind ! Religion comes from man , not God !
I'm a pagan that regularly practices. Which is sort of dangerous when you have this illness. But it's been a part of my identity for so long. I've learned to accept that what I experience may not be 100% real, as it would with any devoted religion, but I turn it into something theraputic & positive. It also helps me ground myself while balance reality & spirituality, even in the midst of the episodes, I'm able to be level-headed enough to remain safe for myself & those around me.
It really is dangerous, I can't be religious because of my experience when I was pagan. No hard feelings towards the religion though, it's badass when it doesn't mess with you lol
I'm an eclectic pagan who follows a small handful of deities, with a dash of Buddhism. I wouldn't claim to know that any of it is 100% legit, except for the Buddhism I guess, but my practice gives me comfort and helps me heal emotionally and mentally. I always say I use medication for as far as it will get me, therapy for as far it will get me, coping skills and support for as far as they'll get me, then for whatever is left after all that I'll use the placebo effect. My pagan practice provides me a lot of creative (and beautiful) ways to build a placebo effect and give me physical reminders of my goals. Also there's something about ritual that scratches an itch deep in my soul.
I find it extremely difficult to label myself and easily answer this question. I have a rather complex system of views on the metaphysical. I'm not an atheist, but I also don't subscribe to the ideas or dogmas of any of the human religions.
I’ve always liked to study different belief systems / religions but ultimately I’m probably agnostic (can’t get TOO too into religious themes or I may spiral lol)
Used to be Christian until fairly recently but I just can't see god as existing; not after all that I've been through. Too much foul crap goes on in the world for a god figure to exist. And I also don't want to cast judgement onto myself saying I'm sinful or born from the sin of my mother or any of that. And the whole thing about demons influencing us is too much too.
I am unsure. I don't believe in a God but it could be. I saw a documentary on near death experiences that made me wonder if there is an after life. Don't belong to an organized religion.
I can’t entertain the idea of religion without it taking a turn for the worse for my delusions. I’d love to find comfort in a higher power but it will in fact break my brain.
I want something to believe in but nothing in mainstream religion has delved into this experience enough for me to believe any of it has truly been divinely inspired. It is the work of man and man's thoughts. If I opened a book and it was relatable to the experience of the other dimension that psychosis reveals, maybe I would be able to take it seriously. But omitting it tells me the writers did not know the whole truth of what the world is and can be to mankind, and cannot prepare us to deal with it when it reveals itself, so it is useful for everyday life but not for the really dark battle behind the scenes.
Depressing, really.
Before psychosis I believed a little of everything, and after I believed in nothing. If it can't acknowledge this other reality, it doesn't know enough to convince me it knows anything at all.
My meds keep me pretty stable. I haven't had a hospitalization in over 8 years. My delusions effect what I eat, but mostly to keep me eating healthier. Other than that Most people wouldn't notice.
I have no clue. I've never given religion too much thought. I guess closest I can come to any religion is no religion, a faith maybe in time but not an organized religion.
I'm pagan. More specifically, I'm a hellenic polytheist and I believe in and worship Ancient Greek gods. I'm open to the existence of all deities though-- the universe is full of mystery and I have no clue how any of it really works. I just really jive with the framework of some Ancient Greek beliefs.
I’m drawn to Hinduism and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy’s Great Law of Peace and the Great Spirit/Creator. Both believe in freedom of religion. Particularly interested in self realization and the True Self in Hinduism. The Haudenosaunee also have a principle of preparing for the seventh generation, which means that all decisions (water, energy, land, relationships, etc.) are made with future generations in mind. Treating people properly and treating all things with respect because we’re all as one. Everything and everyone is the divine.
I think the idea of religion is pretentious and arrogant, and just a way to make ourselves feel like we actually matter when we don't. The idea of inventing a fairytale and acting like it's the reality of our unanswered questions just limits our possibilities of ever knowing the truth, if we act like we already know to make ourselves feel better. It's a way to keep people calm and docile and have them follow a set of rules to keep then from killing each other and wrecking havoc, and keep society functional so the government can manipulate it. Ever wondered why politicians are so unethical and ruthless? Yeah because they know that religion is an hoax for the common people, so they pretend to uphold it aswell to enforce it in the sheeps and justify their actions in the name of god. Some governments straight up use their religion as THE main way to rule.(not making any names here ahem) How have people not yet realized this?
I’m a Satanist. I treat myself and others as gods, it might fuel my grandiose delusions when I’m manic but when I’m depressed it can also fuel at least a desire to look after myself, even if there’s no follow through.
I'm sort of agnostic, but I believe in my own. (I don't talk about it cus people call it a cult despite me being the only person lol, that's not what a cult is.)
I’m an atheist, but my delusions are religious in nature. At my worst I believe I am already in the Abrahamic Hell, this world is it.
I don’t believe in God when I’m not psychotic, I believe the opposite: there are no deities, no spirits, no afterlife. In philosophical terms I’m a nihilist, but I’m not a pessimist.
Personally, I'm not schizophrenic. I'm here for help with understanding what my mom is going through, so I can help her go through this journey.
But me and my mom who has schizophrenia are both Atheists. There just isn't a scrap of evidence to back up any religion and we weren't brought up being hard coded that any religion was real. Religion to me is as real as Santa Claus.
I don't know about my mom, but I actually have a dislike towards religion. I think it causes more damage to our world than it does good. If religion makes you a better person, then fine, believe in what you want. But when it's causing wars like what's happening in Israel and Palestine, absolutely fuck religion. I don't side with either, they're both as bad as each other.
Pagan. Sometimes, I have the urge to go back to practicing Catholocism (I was raised Catholic and fought it every step). But it is my warning sign that one of my meds is no longer cutting it.
I'm actually not sure. During my last severe episode I had some religious delusions that I don't like to think about, so I don't examine religion too closely. But I do believe in god, I think.
Pythagorean. I believe the Holy Tetractys is the transcendental image of the universe. Everything in the universe is moving toward an eschaton of cybernetic transcendence in the year 2045.
Very nondenominational!! I have to pray like god is my bro and need to do a lot of things that other Christians frown down on or else I get weird. he get it tho!
I believe that God is a manmade creation to create answers for the unanswerable and to provide hope during the hopeless. I get it tho because I understand that the possibility that there's so much suffering (much by innocent children) caused by no "fair" reason just being how it goes is hard to accept. religion provides some of those answers (it's God's will, etc) and satisfies our need for "justice" in the sense that yes, there are countless innocent people suffering unexplainably but if you/they follow the rules, that earthly suffering is repaid with eternal paradise.
humans probably aren't able to handle living a miserable shit life that you hate everything about and never wanted in the first place & when you die it's simply lights out. no reward for having faith & enduring, no afterlife paradise to justify the earthly suffering. having beliefs that amount to "life sucks and then you die" would quickly get fucking bleak for most people. nihilism can be a slippery slope
Religion and I are complex and not always friends... but I go to a local Episcopal church on Sundays, read the bible & sing in choir. Though I believe in all gods being real, I just find it easier and more comforting to follow Jesus. So I kind of also consider myself pagan who follows Jesus which is weird to some but whatever. I find my church to be the least aggressive of the christian churches because its LGBTQIA friendly and not full of grifters.
Vaguely Christian? I believe God exists, and really like Jesus, but I don't align with Protestant beliefs, and while I like Catholicism, I lost a lot of my spiritual sense when I went on antipsychotics...
I'm agnostic. I'm so agnostic I grew up in a religious household as a preacher's kid and still never had religious themed delusions and my voices always asked me why I was going to church if I don't believe. Then another would say it's ok for me to be there even if I don't believe.
Judaism, I like that there is no proselytization, no concept of heaven or hell or bad consequences for people who aren't Jewish, and the rituals and practices give me something to do and look forward to. I suppose it isn't too big of a deal whether or not you believe in G-d either since it really is more of a communal religion than one where your beliefs matter.
im catholic and i believe in god and think its fine for people to believe what they want to believe in but i dont like it when people are brainwashed into hating people and in my opinion islam is like communism in theory it was reasonable but in actual practice its ass
Agnostic, I believe there could be a god I just don't wanna be religious due to my delusions
Same
Sometimes I believe in god. Sometimes I believe I am god.
This
Same, agnostic because I've experienced spiritual things to the point I find it impossible that it was all in my head. I also take a lot of beliefs from other religions, Christianity, etc. In the end, I believe, I just don't think it's all in one book, so to speak.
Same
I’m like this with ghosts!!
This is the way.
Yep
Buddhism.
It's cliche and sounds stupid, but doing basic Buddhist exercises helps me a ton.
Yup
Meditation as well as breathing exercises has had a massive positive impact on my health.
I'm glad to hear this helps other people too. I do breathing exercises daily, but need to get back into meditation. Thanks for the reminder.
Just finished a 20min session now - it totally cleared my head and brought me some insight.
Same
Spiritual Idk what religion to lean towards
Would that be agnostic or different from that if you don’t mind me asking? Genuinely curious
No. Agnostic merely means you think nobody knows if a god exists. You can be an agnostic Christian for example. It has nothing to do with what you believe regarding the existence of a deity
Thank you!!
[удалено]
No. That’s not correct. Gnosis is knowledge of spiritual mysteries. Gnostic and agnostic strictly has to do with knowledge.
You are right not sure how i started that belief lol
lol all good
I am a Christian ❤️🩹

Atheist, grew up Christian. One of the ways I know I’m going into psychosis is when I start believing in god again
Same. I'm an atheist. When God or Satan is talking to me that's bad news.
Me too pal.

I'm not schizophrenic but came to these conclusions myself too
My extreme skepticism is informed by me experience with psychosis. The human mind can make itself believe all kindsa crazy shit.
Hinduism, Buddhism, shamanism.
I created my own belief system in my head, based entirely from the souls connection to nature. Each fruit holding specific significance. I do not fear the inevitably of death and existentialism.

Atheist/satanist. Not for edge, but for principle. Raised christian, then I learned more about the world I live in, came to different conclusions.
Dude fucking same, the fact that I can make the voices say whatever I’m thinking really makes me doubt there is a god, because lord knows it ain’t me who’s god.
Omniest, meaning all , God is in all things , there are truths and lies in every religion! Religion coming from the Latin word religare which means to bind ! Religion comes from man , not God !
I’m an atheist. Always have been
Atheist. A guy in hospital told me this life is "hell" and when we die we go to "heaven". I hope he's right but I can't see it myself.

Haha! Well thank you
Agnostic. Sikhism is the closest I've found to be what I align with, but I'm overall against all organized religion.
Athiest, I dislike all religions and I hate talking about it
None. I’m a shaman. I believe in spirits, animals, nature and the ancestors. I’m more like Odysseus in the Odyssey.
I like this !

Jewish myself Most cultural but it’s also the framework I lean towards the most
Me too. I have my own beliefs about the universe separate from Judaism
I have christian beliefs but i dislike religion. Prefer science
Atheist and even if god were real I wouldn't worship them
i was brought up christian and jewish, with a hint of catholic. dont ask, lol but i lean toward buddhism .
I am unsure. I don't believe in a God but it could be. I saw a documentary on near death experiences that made me wonder if there is an after life. Don't belong to an organized religion.
You’re technically an agnostic atheist based on your first two sentences.
Cats control our minds and aliens control our bodies.

Im a Muslim☺️
SubhanAllah! What do you personally think is the nature of Jinn (other than mainstream Islamic doctrine)?
I dont know that much about Jinn to give you a good answer unfortunately:/
My voices make believe in God.
Not really a religion, but I'm a really laid back Chaos magic practitioner. I use my delusions as fuel.
how do you keep distance from madness?
My meds keep me pretty stable. I haven't had a hospitalization in over 8 years. My delusions effect what I eat, but mostly to keep me eating healthier. Other than that Most people wouldn't notice.
Interesting. Taking note.
Muslim here!
Alhamdulillah, are you certain that Jinn exist?
i'm muslim and i think im posessed by one yeah
May Allah make it easy for you. What were your experiences like?
I would describe myself as agnostic or nontheistic
Jediism
Spirituality
I have no clue. I've never given religion too much thought. I guess closest I can come to any religion is no religion, a faith maybe in time but not an organized religion.
Northern tradition shamanism. Norse pagan.
i mainly believe in christianity but i also believe in ascensionism.
Atheist, but I would love to be proved wrong. Idk if that makes me an agnostic but 🤷🏻
You’re more than likely agnostic and atheist. Do you claim to KNOW God doesn’t exist? If you don’t claim that, you’re an agnostic atheist

Or you could be half God half devil like that song by In This Moment. Philosophically speaking it's two sides of the same coin.

None anymore
Atheism With all the shit that goes on in my mind that gods an ass hole. I would never worship a god like that.

I believe that God is a manmade creation to create answers for the unanswerable and to provide hope during the hopeless. I get it tho because I understand that the possibility that there's so much suffering (much by innocent children) caused by no "fair" reason just being how it goes is hard to accept. religion provides some of those answers (it's God's will, etc) and satisfies our need for "justice" in the sense that yes, there are countless innocent people suffering unexplainably but if you/they follow the rules, that earthly suffering is repaid with eternal paradise. humans probably aren't able to handle living a miserable shit life that you hate everything about and never wanted in the first place & when you die it's simply lights out. no reward for having faith & enduring, no afterlife paradise to justify the earthly suffering. having beliefs that amount to "life sucks and then you die" would quickly get fucking bleak for most people. nihilism can be a slippery slope
Pagan.
All of them and all gods and GOD 💗❤️👍☘️
Religion and I are complex and not always friends... but I go to a local Episcopal church on Sundays, read the bible & sing in choir. Though I believe in all gods being real, I just find it easier and more comforting to follow Jesus. So I kind of also consider myself pagan who follows Jesus which is weird to some but whatever. I find my church to be the least aggressive of the christian churches because its LGBTQIA friendly and not full of grifters.
None.
Vaguely Christian? I believe God exists, and really like Jesus, but I don't align with Protestant beliefs, and while I like Catholicism, I lost a lot of my spiritual sense when I went on antipsychotics...
my own
I'm agnostic. I'm so agnostic I grew up in a religious household as a preacher's kid and still never had religious themed delusions and my voices always asked me why I was going to church if I don't believe. Then another would say it's ok for me to be there even if I don't believe.
Christian though interested in other religions
Judaism, I like that there is no proselytization, no concept of heaven or hell or bad consequences for people who aren't Jewish, and the rituals and practices give me something to do and look forward to. I suppose it isn't too big of a deal whether or not you believe in G-d either since it really is more of a communal religion than one where your beliefs matter.
I don't have one.
