Phoenix
I would be interested in finding out what people believe (religion wise). I myself am quite a devout Christian, but my family are all very different. My dad is a Pagan, my brother's agnostic and my mum isn't really associated with any one religion.

How about you guys?

Ushgarak
Uh-oh (runs and hides)

Corran
I'm an Evertonian.

Catch 22
laughing out loud Sweet!!!!

mechmoggy
Awww never mind Corran, maybe one day it'll clear up. stick out tongue

finti
oh no not this religious crap again

Ushgarak
(is already hiding)

mechmoggy
If anyone needs Ush, he's hiding behind that chair.

*Points at Ush's hidey-hole*

Corran
Now what part of don't tell anyone that Ush is behind that chair over there did you not understand?

mechmoggy
Eh?



Oooooh right! Sorry Ush. embarrasment

Ushgarak
Oh crumbs... please, I didn't say anything about God...

Corran
I'm sure God won't Smite you Ush.

Evy_O
I'm a Christian (Orthodox)... I think. I haven't quite decided yet. There is a God who made all these but I haven't cleared things up in my mind yet...
If there is a God, who created him? Did he exist forever? How can that be possible.
IMO if we start wondering things like that we'll go nuts.

All in all I'm not very devout.

finti
A chair is a safe hiding place Ush

Gundark
Ush might be better off hiding behind those pillows that Mech uses to fend off those aliens.

I'm a vest-pocket Catholic.

I've always pictured pagans as those guys in that Tom Hanks movie....Dragnet. Thats it.

BackFire349
im born catholic, but i dont follow that religion at all. i have my own beliefs that arent in any religion. however, im only 20 years old and i dont know what i believe really. ill decide when ive experienced more of this world.

happy kine
they say a man has got to believe in something... i believe i'll have another.

preston mullins
I was raised Catholic as well, but that all faded out and I started smoking a ton of weed. Now I believe in Gary Busey.

Captain REX
Non-denominational Christian. That's all I'll say for now. Last time this chat occured, Finti tried to split my skull... eek!

finti
laughing out loud

well we Vikings have a history of doing that to Christians

Captain REX
*gets out photoalbum*

Oh, I can tell... eek!

Especially those church raids. wink

finti
those church raids were way cool

Captain REX
I had to do a report on the Vikings for Social Studies/History class. I did it from the point of view of the non-Vikings. They were quite terrified in my short report. You know, church raid, dead monks, burning fields, blood everywhere... evil face

finti
did you happen to mention what great explorers , great traders and excellent settelers they were too. Cause that was actually what they did best, the raids were more like spare time activities.

You should have let me know of this report and I would given you some info that would have blowed your teachers mind. It would have been an A? material for sure

Captain REX
It was A anyway. My history teacher is easy to please when it comes to reports. roll eyes (sarcastic)

Glad you would have helped though. I did the report awhile ago.

Captain REX
And I DID mention the exploring part. Iceland and America. smile

yerssot
*brings in 12 foot long eclair*
this I believe big grin

GordonSkywalker
What a loaded question to ask! This too was once discussed in the debating forum. Anyway I will keep quiet on this topic as it relates to me personally. Good thread though. It's just been done before.

yerssot
kill it?

GordonSkywalker
Not up to me friend.

yerssot
hmm, I'm always hungry smile

Corran
Good call, I'm with you

GordonSkywalker
Food is good.

Captain REX
Good is food. Food is good. big grin

GordonSkywalker
Not that this has anything to do with beliefs of course.

BOPRecruit 16
i'm not reilgious, never have and never been to church. but i do pray occasionally for certain reasons when i see fit. but that's it for me ^.~ PhOeNiX

GordonSkywalker
I do not share my beliefs over the internet. Bad for business.

finti
I wonder,.. I wonder ,..... Wanda!!!..Darlin?????????? -John Cleese "A fish Called Wanda"

GordonSkywalker
Wrong thread finti. You want the thread three doors back.

Augeybana
Hey GS another Religion thread does this bring back memroies GS.

GordonSkywalker
Yeah man it sure does! Those carefree days we debated the likes of finti and company over at the debating forum. Fond memories Augey.

Augeybana
Yeah that was some crazy crap wonder if finti up for another debate.

GordonSkywalker
Don't know but another is our target. I have had my abilitiy to edit my posts removed by the way. Big Brother is up to his old tricks again.

Augeybana
Yeah I noice whya though.

GordonSkywalker
Not entirely sure except they want to control things I guess.

Ushgarak
The editing facility is not provided for people to entirely change the tone and content of their post after others have responded to it, especially in heated discussion.

Augeybana
I've seen people write bad stuff hope no one getting singled out.

Ushgarak
Rest assured anyone who abuses the edit facility will have it removed.

VampirePrincess
Religion.... What I believe in is far from normal.. Well according to everyone else. But just say I am pagan and thats that!

smile

Ushgarak
Do you dance like the people in Dragnet?

VampirePrincess
No I hope I don't lol.....

Ushgarak
That is good then, Gundy can rest easy.

Roger
I am a christian.

Augeybana
Ohh Sorry for my last post that wasn't on the subject but I'm a Catholic and I'm my own no less.

Roger
I grew up in church.

finti
poor lad

Corran
That is because after me you are the second most idiotic poster here, they can stop the idiocy that you reep by stopping you editting and changing your posts, but they cannot stop my idiocy, HAHAHAHAHA.

finti
Churches makes great bonfires

yerssot
HEY! I'm still here you know!

Darth Vicious
Im catholic, so is all my family while i dont go to church frequently i still believe in "GOD" i also practice Santeria(something like vodoo but deals mostly with saints and the dead)

Corran
Doesn't santeria go against the christian beliefs?

finti
Well Santeria(meaning the way of the saints) has elements of the Roman Catholicism in its worship and it is a syncretistic religion

Corran
So it would be frowned on by the Devout Catholics as it is a deviation or mix of sorts. The dealing with the dead is the part they would most object too, I remember how much they church leaders used to from upon Mediums and psychics because it was against all that was christian.

finti
well the christians never been too thrilled about changes

cermiestar
i think the buddhists theory of suffering makes a lot of sense, more than the christians theory (even though i am a christian), the christian theory sounds like it's just covering up for the fact no one knows the answer whereas the buddhist one makes sense.

happy kine
funny thing about budda is he looks like a fat jolly type guy... he doesn't look loke a buddist. he looks more like a chinese santa clause.

finti
they have their own st Nick

TheOnlyAnomaly
Stuff it, I'm a devout....

(Pick One)

Christian
Jew
Muslim
Buddhist
Hindu
Sikh
Agnostic
Atheist

So, therfore I believe....

I am right, everyone is wrong
I am right, everyone is wrong
I am right, everyone is wrong (But I get blamed for everything)
I am right, everyone is wrong
I am right, everyone is wrong
I am right, everyone is wrong
I am right, everyone is wrong
I am right, everyone is wrong


Do you think I hit the nail on the head?

cermiestar
he has long ears...i saw the big buddha in hong kong and it's MASSIVE. one of it's ears is bigger than me!! and i'm like 5 foot 6

Ushgarak
Surely the sentence for the agnostic is

"I am right, but I am not certain."

Isn't it?

cermiestar
huh?

finti
right on Ush big grin

cermiestar

Bespin Bart
They have real Jedi in India. REX spoke with Master Harmax (remember him, from Bombay, India?) about it. No, they don't have Padawans and use laserswords and their leader is not a little green puppet.

Ushgarak
Define 'real'.

Captain REX
That's what Master Harmax used. *shrugs*

cermiestar
catholism is a branch of christianity.
