Re: What's your religion?

Non-denominational Christian. I don't believe in the Bible, just God, and his son. I think the events of the Big Bang were caused by some deity of some sort.

Hehe, really though, I don't see why threads like this can't stay civil. As long as people don't take things the wrong way or start lashing out emotionally, we should be okay.

Im pretty much an ateist. If there shows up evidence that there is some god, I will change opinion.

A non-denominational Christian is not a specific kind of Christianity. I believe most events in the Bible happened, but not all. I believe there is God, Jesus, and the such. Just not everything.

Also, to the thread creator: I suggest that religious threads should NEVER be posted again.
But I'm pretty much a hypocrite since I posted on here anyway. xD

Well, religion and all things related to it intrests me alot. Also; Why not? Discussing religion is both intresting and fun (usally)(not that there have been anything worth of discussing here...).

I agree i like discussing it, but sadly you can't anywhere where there is rules, don't want to hurt anyone's precious feelings.
/Sarcasm
And @ Advancé disliking religion is not racist because it has nothing to do with race, it's just many beliefs that have the right to be questioned and criticized because they simply hold no proof or logic. Just faith, the art of sticking one's fingers in their ears and not listening to anyone who says otherwise about their religion.

Re: What's your religion?

It's quite sad that people are forced to be shy about discussing religion. Why is it so taboo? Incidentally, why is it any more special than a political or ideological view? I don't think 'people might be offended' is a good reason not to discuss something; not that the aim of such a discussion is ever to offend people.

That's true. But it's hard to have a stable conversation about sensitive topics on.....the Internet... (dun dun duuuun)

I know someone on a website who wasn't afraid to tell non-Christians that they're going to Hell. And you can imagine how many people reacted. But, then again, we seem to be having a normal conversation on here so far, so I guess it's fine.

Agnostic Jew. More specifically; Conservative Judaism. Ashkenazi if anyone is for some reason curious.

I "believe in science." The existence of one or multiple gods has not been proven, and it is virtually impossible to prove that a god does NOT exist (for those who don't understand, it's disproving the existence of something, which is almost logically impossible).

Re: What's your religion?

The best one, clearly.

I actually developed a sort of philosophical theory about religion, but I don't think I should state it here, as it would **** people off.

But to answer the question, I'm not religious at all.
EDIT: Flare was a Buddhist? That's pretty cool, I agree a lot with Buddhist philosophy, but it's the religious aspect that I didn't go for (as much as I love the idea, and thing it's beautifully peaceful, it just doesn't seem correct to me).

I was a Buddhist until I found out that Buddhas are deities, not a real, holy, and sacred person, at which point I converted to atheism.

Fun fact: Buddhism is an atheistic relgion.

You could say you're an atheist while being buhdist, or any other religious-like belief that doesn't have a god

Agnosticism or Agnostic Atheism seems the best to me personally, what about to other people?

Re: What's your religion?

As we are discussing religion, I'd like to say something I heard somewhere:

If a a man that does not believe in any god(s) does good things that no one will ever know, he is probably a better man than a man that does it just to get into heaven, or reaching nirvana, or transform in a better form in the next life, etc. etc. This is because the first man does it to be good, while the second man does it because he earns something from it. This would mean that a man that believes in some god(s) cannot be as good as a man that does not believe in any god(s) can be.

I hope you read this carefully and think about it, as this seems to be very important in the discussion of religion, at least in my opinion.

Please tell me what you think about this, and please don't get angry at me because of it. I did not say it from the beginning, I did just hear it somewhere and post it here so that you could consider it.

Thanks for reading all this.

Re: What's your religion?

I think AZarlak is right. However the quote is partially logically flawed; a religious man can be good simply for the sake of being good, not just to get into heaven or something.

Re: What's your religion?

Do you see a riot anywhere? I'm quite shocked at the general reaction to this thread. There are quite a few comments about why religion shouldn't be discussed. Meanwhile, if you haven't noticed, the discussion so far has been civil. Can we stop with these silly posts now?

Yes, but if a non-religous man does it it is always for the sake of being good.

^ Well, (most) christans see the life on earth as a test of whetever you are worthy of getting into the heaven or not.
