Thank you rexbeccarox, the weather here in Malaysia hot, there are many outdoor activities, and we have many cultures. Overall I think the people are harmonious because of equal population with many races and religions etc.

Interesting choice for your username.
I am an atheist. It's nice to meet you.
Have a welcome cookie

Hi Losty . . thank you and actually I don't believe in God and religion etc. .

so, I'm lost and don't belong to any religion. . . maybe I create my own system

I think there are a lot of people out there, who are ethnically Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, etc., because it's been a part of their familial or cultural identity for so long they think a set of shared beliefs, traditions and rituals define them, and their family identity.

In the US the vast majority of Christians aren't aware what most of their dogma states, why their sect split from other sects, or why "their path is the right one."

It just is. They've forgotten most of the scripture they were supposed to memorize, but they still "know" something "those Christians over there" don't know.

Anyway, welcome.

Thank you Rampant.A.I..

Yes you are right because I was born as a Muslim, but I feel that there is something wrong in the religion. Therefore, I need to find my own system and be responsible for myself.

Haha Poca! I was just about to go look for that.

I think it is, especially if one live in the village areas, but that opinion doesn't count because I am Malaysian.

LOL! This is interesting. . .no, I'm not that kind because my system is the "belief in God, religion and the allegorical are ignored or absent". I more focusing on something that can be proven through facts, practical way of life.

Sure it does! I'm an out-and-proud Southern Californian myself.

from the UK! Many people in my country are in the same position you are. The majority of religious people aren't too worried about practicing their religion but still identify themselves as religious for cultural reasons. The result is that religion is not a big issue here (recent rises in vocal fundamentalism, notwithstanding). There'll be plenty of shared experience.

Enjoy!
