No one truly believes that unless they have had an eppiphany. An eppiphany is personal and may never be experienced by the collective "you" in a life time...but is experienced by the individual "you".Originally posted by qw12er

I do believe in jesus, he was a man who once walked the earth and helped people
but I do not believe in religion and the religious god
I think like Spinoza does, that God is a part of nature and it is the "flow" of it. as well as the mathematical standards that we live with today, that, for me, is god
not some spirit that will send me to heaven or hellComment

I believe there was a man named Jesus, but I think maybe the whole story thing got a little bit "distorted"... Ever play the game Password where you whisper a phrase and pass it on and by the time it gets back to you it's something completely different?
If people can believe that shit now, with all that we know, just imagine how gullable people were back then, maybe Jesus was the worlds greatest con-artist?
Anyway, even if Jesus did "come back" one day, who the fuck would believe him? Maybe he already did come back and is on meds now in some mental hospital.
Also, ever notice that people who really really believe in Jesus and need him the most are those who have hit rock bottom in life (or close to it), and don't want to take responsibility for their bullshit.
Jesus won't save you, save your own ass.

I don't believe in "religion" per se. To do so will often come with it - the little caveate of also believing in heaven and hell which also comes with the beliefs of the requirements of arriving in either of those 2 places.
I don't belive if there was a "loving God", he would test us in the commonly believed manner. I also do not believe that if he did, we (as mere mortals) could give an honest answer to those tests.
Think about it for a second - worship me or burn in everlasting fire and brimstone.
What the heck kinda choice is THAT?
I remember getting my ass whipped as a child and my father asking if I was sorry I did the transgression?
Of course I said yes to him - but in my heart I was only sorry I got caught!
I don't believe a "loving God" would allow the rape, murder or torture of innocent children - and if he does - I don't want ANY part of a guy like that.
If a "God" wanted to be worshipped so he creates mankind and that same "God" is all knowing - you'd think he'd have seen what was coming and that he'd be destroying the everything on it with 40 days and nights of rain. What do you call that? A heavenly "do-over". And I watch alot of the discovery channel - when's the last time you've seen a olive tree on the top of the highest peak?
If "heaven" is so great, why did his angels rebel? Weren't they happy in paradise?
The bible is just a story - a story written by man in many different languages and interpretations. Do you really think a story told over 2000 years ago in a language you didn't speak will be precisely recorded in its' true meaning?
Oh... I could go on but you probably were thinking doesn't this guy ever shut up 2 paragraphs ago

It's Faith. I think that if you grew up in private schools, the whole religion thing would be more clear. I am catholic and have grown up in catholic schools. Not saying it is right in the least bit....but I am saying that bringing up has a lot to do with it. You are conditioned to "away". There can always be changes with that though.Comment

TheKing - Who do you think need the other one the most ?
A powerful king who, for no reason, created imperfect beings so he would be worshipped.
Or men who have created a god to have an higher instence to refer to when they want to influence their neighbors ?
(you can not tell your neighbors - do that because I want you to... but you can say God wants you to. )

"God" is something which some people choose to believe in as it helps them to deal with daily stresses, it also provides for someone to blame or praise when you dont want to deal with your own actions and consequences... just my thoughts...$8.35 High-Usage Adult Hosting: 510GB Storage + 5010GB Bandwidth + SQL + SSL + Free Domain With Whois Privacy.

Agreed. I grew up going to catholic school all the way through high school. I totally belive in the Catholic religion, Jesus and all the mumbo jumbo. It's just too much of who I am and how I grew up to just toss it all away.Originally posted by ArikaAmes

BUT I DO NOT preach to other people and DO NOT empose my beliefs on others. I never have and I never will. I use religion more like a guideline on how to live my life more honestly and the whole do unto others as u want to be treated thing. Figure it's better to be safe than sorry and I'd rather live believing in Gold and having him turn out to be fake than NOT believing in him and end up in hell. No harm no foul right.
The only thing worse that over zeolous religious freaks that try to empose there religion on you is people that are the complete opposite. I hate people who automatically assume religious people are wrong and stupid for there beliefs. You're trying to empose your non belief just as badly as the religious freaks.
I think religion is ok within proportion. If it keeps you happy and helps you live your life then it hurts no one.

Do I believe in Jesus? Yes...Jesus was a philosopher, a great one.
Do I believe in Jesus "the son of god".....no...not at all.
How can someone who was baptised and confirmed a catholic not believe in Jesus or God? Simple......My girlfriend was taking away from me. She was only 24. Fuck Religion. Fuck Jesus Fuck God
