:2 cents:

I'm reliculous ...

yeah, i'd also prefer a smiling fat dude over an invisible something who nails his son to a cross :2 cents:

the fact that billions of people do not believe in god and still carry on with their lives and are happy is proof enough that god does not exist.

I saw an angel yesterday!

Man, i never thought about this one !

Good one !

No, I am not.

its true no matter where you go you will meet people who believe in a god. if born in the middle east your god would likely be allah in the us or europe it would likely be the christian god the reason this is true is because you are taught about different gods in different place. This is all obvious so far but for the people that say the bible has been protected by god and thats why we still have it today you could say that for any religion. Why is whatever your god is only mainstream in selected countries? If you hav to beleive in your god to go to heaven how come there are uncontacted tribes in the amazon who know nothing of our gods at all does gods word only spread as far as humans can preach it? yeah thats right coz its all man made.

There is no god!!

Jesus Christ - HELL NO!

Type 2.
Grew up in a mixed Greek Orthodox/Baptist family so I did loads of research and soul searching. I'm pretty happy with this conclusion for myself.

let's go with agnostic

Science is something we add everything new when the time goes while Your so called holly book stucked at the same point where it was belong to 2000+ years ago.

additionally, while we can't even know weather Christ was a real historical character or not, how can we know that book is the one telling the truth?

and You can add Christianity is just a made up religion with so mutch paganistic symbols.

wake up man, GOD didn't send his son nor the other scammers who called themselfs as prophets.

I despise that God-fearing entertainer ...

Atheist here.

Raised catholic, became agnostic in my teens and now Atheist. Once you educate yourself with how fucked up this world is, you quickly realize god is for the uneducated, weak, fearful and it is only a matter of time before he joins the ranks of santa claus and the tooth fairy.

Yes,i belive in jediism :)

Well, let me put it this way, God did warn us people with faith that doubters and people without faith would corner us to try and sway us from our beliefs. This he predicted in the Bible.

God also told us to stay strong and resist the devils work as he himself would give us the necessary strength to overcome any fears and doubts we may have.

Clearly the human brain is not capable of understanding the whole dimension that is God and prefers to explain the world in simple terms through reasoning on a very primitive level.

God made a promise to his people which says, if I may quote directly from the Bible, Mark 12: 30-41:

We're no strangers to love
you know the rules and so do I
a full commitment's what I'm thinkin' of
you wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down
never gonna run around and desert you
never gonna make you cry never gonna say goodbye
never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
inside we both know what's been going on
we know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down
never gonna run around and desert you
never gonna make you cry never gonna say goodbye
never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down
never gonna run around and desert you
never gonna make you cry never gonna say goodbye
never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
:upsidedow

Agnostic: not knowing

I believe in a higher power. Maybe Karma?

But think that religion is nothing but a bunch of fairy tales.

Hey santa does exits,he lives in Finland

Religion is cool
Religious people suck
Non-religious people suck even more and make me wish there was a God, who would just strike them the fuck down already...

This statement illustrates what is wrong with religion.:2 cents:

God is just an imaginary friend for grown ups. Then again, I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up - they have no holidays.

So everyone sucks! Sweet. :thumbsup



.

The story of Santa Claus and even the Easter bunny is actually the exact same as the stories "created" in the bible. As in it is based on some factual circumstances and ancient mythology wrapped up to make another story. Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are symbolic and mythological derived from Peganism. Santa's were in fact a Shamen. And Christians unknowingly practice peganism. :1orglaugh

Not religious.

Correction: Their own "brand" of paganism.......

I remember the last time I spoke with god... he said, "don't worry about all that shit some other man wrote." It's even written down, in a book, that I made Doc 13: 1..... You should put blind faith in my words as well, it's no different than putting faith in the words you shared.

Schizophrenic much?

God is a figment of the imaginations of rulers. He's been talking to our "better" for millennium. They come and tell us all the time what he wants us to do. Which coincidently happens to benefit them.

Read the Old Testament to see who they say this guy God is. He had no problem drowning every living being, except two of every animal and Noah's family. Because, according to our betters, we weren't doing it right.

Then look at Sodom and Gomorrah. He didn't like what they were doing so decided to obliterate the whole city, again including the animals.

Then there were the Jews leaving Israel, he had no problem with the plagues and even the deaths of the eldest male child and then drowned the Egyptian Army.

When the Israelites decided to settle in Canaan he had no problem telling them to kill all the Cannites, again the animals got killed (what is it he has against the animals? It's not like they did anyone any harm.)

All the above have been proved to be bullshit lies. But very handy if you want to scare the living daylights out of ignorant people.

And it doesn't end in pre history. The rapture is a relative new thing dreamed up when some girl had a vision and the local priest decided to make something of it. And the last Pope who happens to be on his way to being a Saint. Told people not to use condom as they were no protection against s AIDS. Which lots of ignorant people did and they're now in Heaven. Or just dead.

And don't start me on Muslims.

Nuff said, the new messiah is here:

links pulled

When I was "religious" as a young kid growing up in a Filipino Catholic household, I would read the Bible and hear sermons about Jesus and the people he healed. He would heal lepers, forgive sinners, etc. I was "religious" back then so I saw myself as OTHER THAN and BETTER THAN the people Jesus was was working with.

As I got older and as the years went by, I realized that *I* was the leper, the sinner, the tax collector, and the miscellaneous "undesirables" that Jesus came to heal, forgive, and comfort. People find that hard to believe but Grace doesn't come to those who think they have it all figured out. It's hard to see someone who is PROUD and CONFIDENT of his success, of his place in the world, AND of his power to humble himself and say "YES, there's something WRONG with me. I don't know everything. It isn't ABOUT ME".

Yeah, the older I get the more I realize that I am the leper, the prostitute, the tax collector, the bad guy. But Jesus doesn't care about your past. The problem isn't the Truth and Jesus. The problem are always the "Tall" people around Jesus. The ones who crowd around him--wrapped in their self-righteousness and all to eager to CONDEMN those that don't "measure up." Thankfully, the Gospel shows that you can't WORK your way to heaven because let's face it, all of us are SCUM and deserve only DEATH if the LAW is the only measure. But Jesus doesn't care about your past and gives you the free gift of his Grace. This grace is the only thing that can empower people to even THINK of following his Law.

So am I religious? I hope not. The classic example of religiosity often involves self-righteous people pushing out the LEPERS out of their churches and Killing infidels in the name of God. How can you kill in the name of Love? The sad irony of that always gets me.

I'm not religious. I'm just a leper looking for healing. Day in. Day out.

I wish you all peace!

beware the well-fed philosopher..

Okay Dedi shows us on the doll where the priest touched you! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

fuck religion fuck! :mad:

The truth about religion...

Creation of Adam and Eve was the FINAL END TO EVOLUTION in OUR PRESENT!

Adam and Eve are the LAST HOMOSAPIENS not the FIRST!

Religion is the story of the Destiny of Adam reaching Eve... covered by the Truman Show on your TV every night in disguise as other characters.

So the twist is...... NONE OF YOU ARE REAL HUMANS!! :)

About Adam

Adam and Eve fucked and had kids... those kids fucked and spawned 6 billion people. IE: Cam girls is the result of inbreeding.

A&E are a metaphor that covers creation of all things.

I was Catholic then i grew up and stopped believing in fairy tales.

actually, well said

Winner: best post in thread.

I especially enjoyed the paragraph this little gem was in: "Grace doesn't come to those who think they have it all figured out."

Many in this thread think they have it all figured out.


As to the original question, me and organized religion parted ways a long time ago. But if the OP is asking "do you have a faith?" that's entirely another matter. Having a spiritiual belief system IE; faith, in one's life and being "religious" are two different things entirely in my view.
