Guest Devilicious Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 What's yours? Not what you were raised as, but what you actually believe.Terry's comments in another thread prompted my interest, along with a friend of mine who is atheist but doesn't want a lot of people knowing, which frustrates me.I'm agnostic. If you don't know that means I believe while there may be some form of higher power, we as humans are incabable of knowing or comprehending its existance.

Guest trancepriest Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 I'm a christian hating atheist. I believe most of them are murderers, pornographers, pedophiles, thieves, whores, depressives, hypocrites and in general idiots and jealous bastards that pray to GOD asking him to harm good people. "GOD can you kill all Iraqis and Iranians please.. and while your at it kill my next door neighbor too." Don't trust christians. Although for some strange reason I actually like Jehovah's Witnesses.P.S... I forgot to add con artists to the list. Things were so much better when there were occasional human sacrifices and naked rituals... before christians had to mess it all up with concepts of heavenly supremacy, human bonfires, genocide and torture.

Guest Seb Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 I'm not really sure what I am. I was baptized Catholic but went to an Anglican (Protestant Sect) church growing up. I guess you could say I'm Christian. However I never go to church and really don't believe any of its teachings. I guess I've just find so many errors in the way that Christian think. I mean to think that if I'm a good person but because I don't believe in Jesus I won't go to heaven is ridiculous. How could such a powerful and all knowing being be that superficial. I think all religions have good intentions, the problem is that most orgnanized religions use these good intentions and turn them around to control people. In the end I think if your a good person and you treat people with respect and a good heart then your soul will transpire to a greater level. You can call it heaven it doesn't really matter.

rbs Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 In the end I think if your a good person and you treat people with respect and a good heart then your soul will transpire to a greater level. You can call it heaven it doesn't really matter. Amen to that. I had an issue with my wife when I got married. She is Catholic raised, school, everything. I, on the other hand, am not. I was baptized but nothing else. So when wedding came around she wanted a catholic wedding. I said no way...maybe when I renew my vows. So therefore, I think I'm Catholic, just wasn't raised going to church or anything like that. God is God and he knows if your heart is good or if you choke children until they are almost dead and bring them back to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%Further on the subject, I've always been interested in Eastern religions. I would love to learn more about Buddhism, and Islam too. If I were still in college I'd be taking courses on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest swirlundergrounder Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 I was raised a Catholic and I'm now a sexist....j/k..I like learning about what different people believe in. I consider myself to be a very spiritual person. I like to take the best of what people believe in and combine it with the things that I believe in. I think having faith in something is a very important thing and I think that if you have a strong faith in what you believe in and not try to impose it on others imo is the right way to go. It's importnat for people to have a sort of moral center to sort out the everyday norms and taboos...I odn't care if you're Jewish, Islamic, Christian, Catholic, Morman or whatever, just as long as long as you're a good person who treats me with respect and not look down on me like some of religious fanatics do, then you're OK in my book..
