Just out of curiosity, whats your religion?

Baptist...but mostly Athiest

Hindu

none at all, luckily

same here....

I was sauced in a bowl of water when I didn't even have the age to feed myself by the Christian community. Later on I was fed - fed or brainwashed? Today I'm fed up.

Hope you permit me to elaborate.

Thousands of years ago, religion was a "necessary evil". People were savages and "might was right". So, some savant ones came up with the idea of a benevolent god who is impervious to anything. He keeps a record of everything everywhere at all time. This was able to contol passions to a point. Needless to say that laws would exist even if gods hadn't. If we didn't have laws we could not function as a society. It would be chaos everywhere.

Furthermore, I think that religion is the biggest gag of human history. It surpasses windows and the teletubbies.

The reward of virtue is virtue.

i hail to friend44

Free sex will suffice.

hahaha gd one

I once considered paganism, for I was attending a seventh day adventist school and I wanted to see if I would be expelled or something....

im catholic and proud of it
i even go to a private catholic school

Well...i was brought up as a christian, but im more into Buddhism than anything else..

Thats wonderful. I fully support people who have religions, as long as they don't try and convert me. My entire family on my mums side is catholic as well.

ah..we dun hv hindu schs huh not tt i'd really care much

well i would never i believe in diversity
but i think that religion is important in my life

atheist

*sigh* Another one...this will end in SOME sort of argument, I'm sure...

I'm a non-denominational Christian. Don't worry Schizo, I don't convert people.

poor you... so easily fouled!


what do you mean rex?

Oh-uh... Respect, respect... Is a nice ficticious word...

yea that must be it

btw, before people go yelling at me, it was to joke about rex his comment

I can't yell at you but if you leave your phone number collect I will call during the night.

I got it, Yerss.

Didn't get Friend44's though. Was he trying to say he's not giving me and my God respect? *brings out the CROSSbow... *

hey! I have the biggest imaginary friend here!
*takes out katana*

I must inform you that I am a trained coward. Before you even get a chance to take that crossbow out, I will be screaming and running away like a ***. I can get rough too.

TOPIC - I consider all religion to be utterly ridiculous so I have none

No, I don't go crazy on people unless they've seriously dissed me or what I like or what I believe in. As you can see under my name and above the picture, it says "Don't Bash my Opinions." And that's that.

But no, I'm not allowed to verbally beat people on here anyway, being a semi-mod.

rex, ya big wuss

"semi-mod" what do ya mean?

Well, I only have control in the GenFic, rather than a full Mod like Ush, Finti, or Mechmoggy who can edit things everywhere. Raz has full control of everything on this board anyway.

Yes, that was funny.

im Orthodox Christian.
and i go to Private Catholic School.

Coolio, another Christian!

You're still a mod, just a forum mod not a global mod.

i like a guy who's not afraid to admit he's scared

Scared? Me? Bull!

Yeah, I know, Hege.

I am a Christian, but I don't fit into what you might call a typical "evangelical"church. Without going into too much, I feel that most churches have become too concerned with the traditions of men and lost sight of what the church really is. Another interesting point is that I believe in Universal Reconciliation. I really don't want to get into all of that here, but if anyone (Rex or others) are interested in any of it, you can pm or e-mail me.

Sounds interesting...

I might take you up on that offer, if I feel urged to.

Anyway...that's 4 Christ-followers so far, myself included.

christ followers interesting term you have there

I'm a catholic

me too.
don't go to catholic school,
no offence to anyone who goes to one but i think they are a big waste of time and money,
but im probably biast

I'm Agnostic.

Why I'm Agnostic by B. Steven Matthies.

leutheran protestant by birth, but no I dont care for no religious group.

Weeder of the smokangelic church

I have a belief that when we die, we get burried and rot, and we don't go up to a happy place in the sky with a big invisible man, surrounded by naked ladies with wings and harps that play music. We are simply dead, forever, and that's it.

I believe my religion is called logicalism

I think when you are dead you are dead and that's it. So that's why you should have as much fun as possible while you can.

I still after all these long years dont know what to believe..*sigh*

Yeah, we could just be in the Matrix?

Yeah, and reloaded was a good movie.

im maendean.one of the few thousand left from my ancient civillization.

what???? this place still hasn't erupted into one big fight???? what's wrong guys???

erm i think theres too many people fighting over religions so why bother?

i agree chicken fish

hmmmmmmm is yerss on?

hear hear - y start more wars alreadi

all religion sucks and are just big hoaxes

hi

hey



but u know what,sum ppl do need sumth to hold on to so its best to go our own ways see - lest ANOTHER war starts *sigh*

The day I die, if I end up somewhere and there is a god - whichever one - he will have to give me a lot of explanations.

amen to THAT

i'm a Christian

I am a catholic. I dont think im a very religous person eben though i go to church nearly every week and i went to a folk liturgy course for a week where we sang songs about god n stuff. What do you think?

that you fit your name

Reincarnation is what i believe happens to us when we die....

Here's an interesting article for Christians (& anyone who feels like reading it of course!)

http://www.watchman.net/articles/escape.html

Oi!

The only that goes wrong with religion and starts all wars on this planet is the timing. I've visited quite a few forums and fights did occur with subjects like these. Timing. Yup, one will take it TOO serious and another TOO light. So, one is offended and the other didn't mean to - arguement go and when you look at it, no one really meant it to start...

ya that's what tore ppl apart at the last forums i was at, i was one of a few christians...

Really, it has nothing to do with timing, unless you were to say that with proper timing, one side of the possible argument just wouldn't be there to read it until it dropped to the depths of earlier pages...

People's religious beliefs aren't exactly privy to constant change. Were someone to start a thread calling all Christians brainwashed lemmings, and for whatever reason it wasn't deleted, it wouldn't matter when it was - it would elicit a fight.

i agree, we are not brainwashed lemmings!

(i agree, we are not brainwashed lemmings!)

This statement alone is debatable. Why does everyone at one time buy all the same type of clothes? Ok we are not lemmings - but we are sheeps - oh yes, we are sheeps that would jump off the cliff is the leader did...

were sheep because we wear clothes?

Yes you got my point. Whenever you wear clothes (preferably wool) we prove we are sheeps. If you wear a leather jacket you are a cow. I'm sure you are wearing a fruit salad at this moment.

euhm it aint cause you're a sheep that I am one

I don't follow fashion I've always bought what I wanted because I wanted it for no other reason.

but ofcourse everyone is influenced in their choices but that is at a near unconcious level, some however are more influenced than others

I am NOT A SHEEP, and those that know me IRL can vouch for that

Well, accept my apology if you thought I was being personal. I meant the public at large.

ok where's the flip off smilie if i'm a fruit salad then you must be worse off , i'm so sorry

im catholick but i don't go to church i have broken a couple of commandment and am defintely qustioning weather or not anything happens at all when we die

( if i'm a fruit salad then you must be worse off)

You've got me stumped there. In my face.

People on the whole, quite obviously, are sheep. It's in our nature to trust in the judgement of the majority - why spend time researching something on your own if you've got 1000 people already doing it without any apperant problems? Not only do we trust others, but enjoy being part of something, and so we find ourselves willing to participate in some things not necessarily all that savory - smoking, drinking, religion, jumping in ice-cold lakes on New Years Day...

True complicated but still I don't look at fashion to decide what I wear nor do I look at what other ppl wear

I might take into consideration what they will think of what they wear, but that's only some ppl.

and F44 I knew you were talking in general, I just don't think this should be generalised too much

Friend44, your confusin

Thank you.

So many people say this, and I'm afraid I just don't get it. Do you wear pajamas and sweat suits all the time, with running shoes or slippers or sandals? Really, the only function that clothes serve, other than fashion, is comfort. Even wearing clothing that's out of fashion, like a WWI US Army uniform or a liesure suit, is likely meant to elicit some sort of response from others. That is, unless you're so incredibly vain that you wear clothing based only upon what you like to see when looking in a mirror...

me,i just grab whatever's in my closet that isn't crumpled n still fits me

Yes, we are sheep, it's the best way to survive "safety in numbers"
It's how we've been able to survive throughout our evolution, it's only recently that many of our adaptations have become unnecessary or even harmful due to the advancement of technology. And by recently I mean relatively of course.

well yea we all wear cloths, and most of us wear the same kind fo cloths in that way we are sheep, but as I said there are bigger sheep than others, there are some things which we are thought from when we are a child and it is very hard to change, those usualy cultural related, things.

for instance you have ppl who go like
ooh no everyone is wearing blue jeans so I have to wear blue jeans

well I never thought like that, I wear black mostly, not cause anyone else does but cause I want to, and I have a very special reason to wear it. So yea basicaly I wear my cloths to make sure I like what I'd see in a mirror

i wear clothes so that i'm not naked out in public...

Look at the bigger picture. You're still wearing jeans.

catholic i go2 a catholic shool

<<Hmmm, how did this turn into a disscusion about sheep and clothing habits >>

im lost, i thought this was a thread for religions not wool

It grew and evolved just as all things do.

sorry but no, friend44 said that religion was like wool or something *shrugs*

Yes, The Force, you quoted me right. That is exactly what I said. Religion is the same as wool.

I meant the thread itself.

Of course, some people would say religion pulled the wool over their eyes.

Don't know what my religion is???

I am sooooo confused about my faith

You are normal then.

true hegemon but my normal pants would be very cold in winter time.
and I also wear other pants except from jeans, but not to go out to school or anything

cause my mom won't let me FFS

Hijacking this thread back to the original topic - we can all agree that no one in the world agrees when it comes to religion. We may have only so much religions but each individual "changes" it a little to fit what he thinks. Making it, as many religions as many people... Great wonder why we have always been at war since we can remember - you knew that, right? There has always been a war on this planet at all time.

nice going to get it back on track F44

So, what religion are you? Wool, cotton, spandex....

Denim

I just hope there aren't any polyesters on here!

*ummm...speaks up from the rear. I'm polyester

KILL THE BLASPHEMER!!!!

Should I convert to Rayon?

i'm a denim

A fellow denimite

lol

Another one of those new age cottonist hu

I'm Christian. But my church is very liberal, and open to all religions and beliefs, etc. You guys have no idea how much fun we have at my church. Tomorrow night we're putting on a muder mystery for about 70 people. I'm excited. I think that any religion is fine, as long as you don't put down other peoples religion in a harsh and insulting way.

i am an french orthadox
