Title: Religions?
Post by: Dracoslythe on August 19, 2009, 05:22:57 PM
Reason that this isn't in the poll section:
I don't feel like spending a week researching the names of every religion in the world, and I didn't want to offend anyone by only putting a few religions and then "other."

So yeah.  I was thinking, and I was like "wut's evry1s rlign?"
I personally am...undecided I guess?  I've always thought I was Christian, but then realized that I was really faking it just to pacify my grandmother (she is pretty old, and I'm the only one of the grandkids who will have anything to do with her).  Not that there's anything wrong with Christianity, but I guess I'm just really confused...



***I know this is a touchy subject, so if you will, could everyone please refrain from bashing another person's religion?***

Well there's two variations of agnostiasm(probably wrong term...).

Casual and Strong. I'm casual. That means that there's no way to know if there is a god/gods. Unless he/she/it/that show themself(es) to me and convince me.

Strong would be mostly the same, but believe there's no way even if someone shows themselves. It's the whole nothing for face value deal.

Hey that kinda fits me right now.  =o  the casual part, anyway.

The only thing to HALFWAY make me think that there is a god is this one time, a few months ago, I was like "if there really is a god, then make it rain tomorrow."
and it rained.  but that was probably just mere coincidence, seeing as in the region that I live in, the weather fluctuates.


I dunno.  I've just been so confused about my religious beliefs lately...

Rolz, so someone told you that atheism is for people being brainwashed by Japan?
I kinda laughed.
No offence to the person who told you, though.  It just struck me as funny.

I know first hand that Christians hate atheists.  Hell, even my church alone bashes other religions like there's no tomorrow.  They even bash Catholics, which is another form of Christianity...
Yeah.  My pastor isn't quite right in the head.
Southern Baptists....

(nothing against Christians...)

I am Catholic, but I am not sure if I want to be a Catholic, because most of the stuff in the Church is made up by people. So I have decided to follow only what God said. I will still go to Church though. Basically I only follow what the 10 Commandments and the Bible say. Oh and (don't bash) what makes you people believe there is no God. There is lots of evidence you can find that he indeed exists. I just don't understand why you don't think he is real.  ???

Athiest is someone who believes there is no god, no matter what you see, hear, or read, there isn't one.

Yeah, cause that's not racist against the Japanese at all... You remind me of one of my friend's friends... He talks and thinks like you, is obsessed with pingas, and doesn't know when to shut up and drop a subject... Probably just a coincidence...

Examples? I used to be Christian, but like Draco, never really cared for it. But I went to church again with SF47 while I was staying with him just before I moved, so I remember some. I might now what you're talking about.

Yeah, I think they messed up on the math. It must have been 50 with 50 loaves and 20 fish. They took the zeroes out of the foods and put them on the people... But hey, that's just my take. Some people may believe this, and there's no problem with that.

That's the thing with religous people... I respect all religions, I just don't like you people that bash us scientific people. If you wanna know how we think we came here and your sick of the Big Bang Theory answer, at least we have evidence and scientific proof. Show me hard physical evidence that there is a god. The bible doesn't count, anyone can write something down in a book. They don't have to prove that it's true or not. The bible isn't strong evidence or proof. Anyone could have said: "Hey, I wanna write something random down and see what people do with it in the future!" I'm not bashing religion, I'm just saying, don't bash non-religious people, at least we can prove our theories.

i wasnt trying to bash on non-religous ppl i just wanted a yes or know on beliveing the big bang theory i just wanted a yes or know ya know what i know there is NO CHANCE OF ALL THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN RLY NO CHANCE but i just wanna say couldnt u just ask one of the relatives of the 12 disciples oO lol that couldnt happen but im sure a family member would have SOME kind of evidence there was Jesus :S<-- again just saying that isnt possible

and btw you dont always need proof evidence or to see something before it can be real just believing is enough...

Personally, I believe religion is one big excuse to hate on people. Some of the beliefs they have aren't bad, and I think it's amazing that people can hope that after we die we don't just sit and rot. I just think that some of the crap they make people believe is so stupid. Seriously, I just hate how they judge everyone because of what religion they are, what sexual orientarion they are, or even what race they are. I can't really say much because I don't know much about religion, and I don't really plan on learning about it, and I know there is alot more to religion than the things I just mentioned but this is just an example. I'm extremely sorry if I offend everyone, but it's only my opinion, so it doesn't really matter.
