Do you consider yourself to be spiritual? Tell me about your beliefs. (I myself am a spiritually curious atheist.)

Not really tbh. I'm an athiest, but I don't know for sure whether or not there is a god. I won't say for certain there is none (even though I think it probably that there is not one, there is still the possibility). It also brings the question though, what constitutes a god? It could just be some living entity who has control over the universe, like a toy or plaything. Would they even know of the presence of the living beings on this planet? It's all very interesting.

Yes, I am actually a practitioner of Nichiren Buddhism. He was a 13th century Buddhist reformer who determined that the Lotus Sutra was the highest teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha (a.k.a. Siddhartha). He developed the practice of chanting "nam myoho renge kyo" which means "I dedicate my life to the mystic law of cause and effect through sound and vibration." I chant this every day and I have found that it has changed my life in many amazing ways.

I'm curious about buddhism, I don't think I'm into religion that much but basically I'm curious about all the religions that are substantially different from what I grew up with.

I am a pagan therian, kemetic in practice but open to accept other deities from other pantheons if I agree with their values.
