My own religion
And literally the building blocks for logic, maths, science, and consistent argumentation.
Except our resident professor in math told us, there there is form of logic that accept some contradictions.

Yes I see that is true. For necessary practical reasons.And literally the building blocks for logic, maths, science, and consistent argumentation.

Inspired by @Conscious thoughts 's thread. Mine? I'm not even gonna touch a definition. Too hard to come up with one that encompasses all religions. If you say your belief system is a religion then it is one. I'm not gonna argue. Most atheists don't say they are a religion. Thus I don't believe they are a religion. Some Satanists say they are others say they are just a philosophy rather then a religion. I consider my beliefs religious tho some dont. I might have a definition but I find it hard to word it.

The axion of noncontradiction was just one example, there are of course many other possible axioms, and arguably most formal systems are built on multiple interlocking axiomatic premises. It is possible to construct logical or mathematical systems out of a wide variety of such systems of axiomatics (fuzzy logic and erotetic logic are logic systems that either weaken or do away with strict dualistic, noncontradictory truth values, Buddhist philosophy does great things with contradictory statements, and Hegelian logic arguably removes the notion of contradiction altogether)Except our resident professor in math told us, there there is form of logic that accept some contradictions.
In RF, religions are divided into two: Revealed and non-revealed.Inspired by @Conscious thoughts 's thread. Mine? I'm not even gonna touch a definition.

Any religion that believes in unseen spirits and deities who have power to affect reality thereby has supernatural beliefs, and such beings are found in the very great majority of religions of which I'm aware. Even the belief that "the universe" has a purpose is supernatural in its nature.Few religions make any distinction between sacred and secular.
It's more a Christian than a universal concept.
It has a clear definition; it lacks the connotations of words like "superstitious" and "baloney". What word would you use instead?The term supernatural is somewhat problematic being that it is both judgemental and culturally contingent.
They could only do that by omitting the parts about supernatural beings ─ gods, angels, devils, holy water (magic water), benign and malevolent forces and so on, no?Most followers of religions would reject such a distinction if it made conceptual sense to them (which it probably wouldn't).
The first two elements are always present
Belief in supernatural beings (gods).

And, of course, an apple is an animal (in your perspective)True, i have no faith that pink unicorns exist or leprechauns either
So is no faith a faith?
It certainly opens the highways for conversations.Yes, I don't believe in truth or know in the standard western sense. I am a skeptic. So I use an understanding of truth and knowledge that in all likelihood contradicts yours.![]()
And, of course, an apple is an animal (in your perspective)
Knowledge can puff up, in my understanding... but, as you intimated, an apple is an animal.I know an apple to be a fruit, its called knowledge, no faith required in my perspective. (Not sure how you consider an apple thought)
Knowledge can puff up, in my understanding... but, as you intimated, an apple is an animal.
You can never have enough knowledge. If it upsets you then i feel your pain
Dont play silly buggers, i have intimated no such thing.
LOL... upset about what?
And you DID! When you mentioned unicorns.
I think you just got upset because I mentioned that atheism is a faith.

Bollocks, unicorns are a mythical creature, i did not mention apples until you misrepresented me,. You must be upset about something to deliberately misrepresent someone to distract from their point.
Nope i was asking why you considered the precise opposite of faith to be faith. But if you can't answer without misrepresentation then fair enough
