Well, out of curiousity, I ask you this question.
Are you a dedicated, highly religious person? Describe your religion a little bit, and what it\'s beliefs center upon.

I\'m not trying to start a flame war, or anything of the like, so please refrain from religious arguments. Respect each others religions, m\'kay?

You just opened up a can of worms. Here come the religious wars and arguments! Anyways, I\'m a Christian. Don\'t ask me what kind. I don\'t know. All I know is I celebrate Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, and all the other basic Christian holidays.

Buddhist

Muslim. I follow every Muslim rule and everything, so I guess I\'m religous, but not to religous not to talk the other religions.

Whoa Zera! I never would\'ve guessed that...Geez, maybe I don\'t know you all as well as I think.

I\'m supposed to be buddhist because I attend the meetings with my parents but inside, I don\'t believe in it

So officially, I\'m buddhist but personally, I don\'t follow any religion (I\'m a rebel without a god ). There\'s a word for people with no religion. I have temporarily forgotten it.

EDIT - change smilies

Atheist you mean?

At this moment, I have no idea, but there is a religion that is close to what I believe in but I will not say what it is. =P

You REALLY want to know?

I go to Christian churches on occassion. But I\'m not into their whole God deal there. I just go to learn and well, I know some genuinely nice people there so I don\'t mind going.

As for my religion, it\'s None. I\'m not anything..not aetheist, not Christian, not anything. I do hear stories from all sides though.

I do have a religion of sorts though, but if I went into it ya\'ll would think I\'m completely off the deep end.

Yes, that\'s the word I was searching for.

Quite me.
I\'m Atheist too. I don\'t beleive in god. Oh, Pocket, it should be your choice whether or not you have to go. People don\'t care what us younger people think, do they? I used to go to a stupid Church of Nazerene. That place is messed up. I\'ve seen much better churchs than this place. (only the one in Deer Isle) No offense to you Christians.

What has God ever done for me?

It\'s true, I don\'t share the same beliefs as my parents but I still go to the meetings out of respect for them and for their beliefs. I respect their choices even though I may disagree with them. Just because I don\'t believe in it doesn\'t mean I can mock them or anything. The meetings usually end with a free (vegetarian) dinner anyways so hey, I\'m game.
And Zero, being an atheist means you don\'t believe in any god(s). I find your sentence \"What has God ever done for me?\" \'contradicting\'.

A rather wide array of religions, so far.
I myself am a Christian, with it\'s beliefs centering upon god, the
\'Crusification of Christ\' to forgive our sins, and the \'Garden of Eden\', with Adam and Eve being the first beings on the planet.

I don\'t full believe in creation, but I don\'t fully believe in evolution either. I have found a theory that can satisfy both sides if they\'re willing to accept it.

Im listning, anyone else?

Well, my whole family will have a cow if I say I don\'t beleive in god:rolleyes:

I never get what I want, and my brother does. I guess I just never thought much of it.

At church, We had to sing songs and stuff. Then we went downstairs to get a small snack and make some queer craft. Then we go back upstairs and listen to the Preists problems for about an hour and a half.

Alot of my classmates still go to church, and they have no chritian behaviors. They are the rudest people you have ever seen.

Church did nothing foe me. What do ya know? I don\'t go anymore \'cuz my families too lazy!:lol:

Well I\'m glad something is working out for you. Someone might say something about \'queer\' not being an appropriate word to use here. Perhaps the word you\'re looking for is \'unpleasant\'.

I thought he meant odd, strange.

Christian here too. I\'ll keep my opinions to myself...

What a surprise :P, me too.


However, due to my last religious topic, I realized that I am agnostic.


I do not care either way. I am impartial. If you believe in god...that\'s nice. If you believe in Evolution...that\'s fine.
If you a buddhist...ok.

If you think that when I die, I will burn in hell for my sins and lack of repent...ok.

Whether or not there is a god, I will live my life on this earth as I see fit. I will not conform to the normal boundaries of etiquette of religion and what not. I will follow my own rules, and not waste my life pursuing a meaning to life that I already have.

For you see, the meaning of life for me, is to Exist, and reproduce, and move on. That is my life. That is everyone\'s life [except the chaste]. But I will enjoy that life as much as possible, and not waste time worshipping something that I do not believe to exist, or something that I do not care about.



Thank you.

*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*

Beautiful. Simply Beautiful.
Truer words have never been spoken.

*sits in a corner by himself*
How am I supposed to not get riled up when Pocket\'s clapping over there?
I\'ll... keep in my rants...

Yup...I come up with things like that when I sweep the floors. At those points, I am most docile, and most in depth.

Oh. Kei\'s speeches are so commonplace nowadays that I forget to look into them much. I was basing it on a past religious argument which I\'m not even sure was with Kei. Sorry about that!
And who doesn\'t clap in their mind at any over 4 paragraph post? The effort is applaudable, whether or not you agree with the opinion.

That\'s why I start clapping the minute I see that he\'s posted, let alone how big the post even was

You are not mistaken. I\'ll try to clap less in order to cause less confusion in the future.

i do not belong to a religion b\\c i do not choose to worship an all mighty person, but i think that the most believeable religion is buddism b\\c there really was a person named budda and he did try to reach enlightinment.

Hmm...well, that is true. Buddhism is rather plausible.

However, I\'m still impartial.

anyway, I\'d like to thank anyone who thinks that I write pretty good....

*ahem* I mean pretty well.

It...it\'s really touching to know some people really care about what I write....

*cry*
