Nah, its kinda an inside thing, my friend made a religion that actually makes sense for once. Its not really much of a religion but it only has one major belief that backs all of your other beliefs. I commend him for his intelligence in this idea he has created. Its actually quite simple, other people have probably said it, but he actually truly believes it. And now i do too

[Bapman]

There is actually a RELIGION like that... it's called

"B'ahai"

I didn't think anyone followed that... that's why didn't post it.

Allah is just Arabic for god. Allah is the same G-d as Jehova and Yaweh (sp?). Allah is the same G-d that delivered the Ten Commandments to the prophet Moses, and the only big thing the three Abrahamic traditions dissagree on is whether Jesus was the Messiah and whether Muhammad was Allah's last prophet.

Where's Smurfism?

Smurfists believe in communism with a single patriarichal figurehead leader. Marriages are polyandrous (one wife with multiple husbands). At all times the holy word "smurf" must be inserted into everyday speech. Strict limitations are placed on what kinds of clothing can be worn, as it must almost always be white cap and white pants with footies.

Come join the Smurfists! May the smurf of smurf be upon your smurf!

Yeah it's funny. I just got back from an Interfaith camp sponserd by the ADL recently. Everyone up there was able to get it (although two of the Enons (SP?) that came up were a little too close to the Nation of Islam for some people's comfort) I just don't understand why it's so hard for others to grasp. I was reading the Qu'ran last night and I reread the Calf stories. These are useually used to say that Islam is anti-semetic, however while I was reading the story it struck me that the story was not condemmning the isrealites, only the ones who worshipped false idols and thus broke covonant with Allah. It warns Muslims to not try and believe that they know more than Allah and the Qu'ran. It is written in the Qu'ran that all Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sabians, and all who do good go to heaven.

All of them... had books... in the books... were the all the incidents that took place.

Now... how did the incidents from JUDISM... end up in the BIBLE... and how did THOSE 2... end up in the Q`ran... when non of them had any contact with each other.

The JEWS didn't get rid of JESUS... it was the people who didn't believe in him... and it wasn't NOAH's people who tried to kill MOSES... again... these are the people who worshipped IDOLS
Same with MOHAMMAD.

Sooo how do they have the same stories ???

[spiderrasmon]

what is organized religion?

[spiderrasmon]

Most religious organizations have produced bad fruitage. It is not the fact that groups are organized that is bad. But many have promoted forms of worship that are based on false teachings (i.e.: Trinity doctrine, interfaith, mixing w/world politics, hellfire doctrine) and are largely ritualistic (Catholicism) instead of providing genuine spiritual guidance...; they have been misused to control the lives of people for selfish objectives (cults); they have been overly concerned with money collections and ornate houses of worship instead of spiritual values (any black Baptist church, any church that has televangelism, or huge steeples for no reason at all); their members are often hypocritical.

Obviously no one who loves righteousness would want to belong to such an organization. But true religion is a refreshing contrast to all of that. Nevertheless, to fulfill the Bible's requirements, which are God's requirements, it must be organized.

[the defenders]

Well, deism started after Luther separated from the catholic church.

[spiderrasmon]

does it exercise faith in Christ's ransom sacrifice for mankind?
does it incite it's members and others to love and fine works?
does it mix with political entities?
does it preach worldly tolerance of homosexuality and abortion?

[spiderrasmon]

most importantly, do deists do what Jesus commanded his disciples to do at Matthew 24:14, which was to preach "this good news of the kingdom... in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations...."?

It's funny in a sick kind of way. I just found that a friend of mine has died, and there is no religion on this world that makes that any easier to deal with!......

[spiderrasmon]

there is only one God. yes, I know that's considered monotheism.

Oh, the Bible does mention other "gods", but mainly in the reference of false idols (wooden 'gods' made by man), angels and demons (worshipped with a reverence similar to God, and considered 'god' by man... again), and even Jesus Christ, God's only-begotten son, come to Earth as a man, was called a 'god' (unbeknownst to the one calling him such, an inaccurate assessment).

But there is only one God, he has a name, and it would really pain much of this world to find out the truth the hard way.

[the defenders]

I think people use "god" as a way to explain what they can't. Humanity has been doing it for years. No one knows what happens after death so we use god t make us feel better.

Hmmm yes... I wanna shout out to Mr White.

I pity you brother. I see the influence of oppression in your words and clueless ideals, as clearly as your souless 'agent' avatar. Its all too fitting, though I'm sure labelling your mechanical and blatantly non-spiritual nature escaped your intentions. One of the countless ironies in this world that have put a brief smile on my face, all of which I thank god for.
How can you and yours say we believers merely jump at a simple answer? I see reason where you see 'coinsidence', and I see creativity where you see fluke or 'evolution'. Our beliefs are the ones truely complicating pysical understanding... an understanding that has consumed you Mr White.

For the record, Im one of the 'no religion and I like it that way' votes. Which couldnt be true enough. I respect every religion for the grounds of which it began and thrives to this day, but I do not support any man made system of control. Or character regulation of any kind.
But those among us who blame religion for man's faults, or see any form of 'ignorance' in its ways should take a few perspective steps backwards. Those of you who live purely for pysical existence are the true fools, you have seleceted your god. And it is man's own blind advancements or 'government' for whom you have happily bent over and had your asses pumped full of lies, money, laws and all of your non-believing obsenities. You've been defiled and raped by a system that reaks of a demon's craftings.

Forgive any disrespect you may have interpreted, but its really my pity you have earned. Your minds have not opened yet, and may never until YOU -free of religion or influence- choose to see gods origional will in every aspect of the remaining gifts around us. I'm a tree hugging hippy and I'm ****in proud of it. What!

The inherent worth and dignity of every person;

Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;

Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;

A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;

The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;

The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;

Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.


Basically other than these principals (and even these are loosly based, some of the anarchists don't like the one on democratic process in society at large) you can beleive whatever you believe to find your own spiritual meaning.

I am an atheist and I also have no religious convictions.I am sure this thread is probably full of existential debates and whatnot which I would love to partake in but I am have not read through it yet.

[Captain Skeptic]

Adddendum:I am an AGNOSTIC atheist, according to the Huxlian usage.For those unfamiliar, agnosticism is NOT "I am unsure", agnosticism is the conviction that the question of God's existence is an insoluable one(re:unfalsifiable hypothesis in scientific terms).

Chalk this up to humanity's incredible capacity for pattern-recognition.We are pattern-seeking animals...an evolutionary adaption which likely helped us survive at some point but also leads us to errors in thinking.

To a UFOlogist, it is easy to find "evidence" of massive governemnet cover-ups of alien craft crashing in Roswell,NM.To a believere in psychics, John Edward seems to get precise details which he could not have known through simple cold-reading with amazing accuracy, even though this is patently false.To JFK conspiracy buffs, the shot Oswald made was not possible even though militarily trained marksmen laugh at how easy it would have been to make that shot.

We ALL find the evidence to support our presuppositions, whether that evidence actually exists or not.


Our beliefs are the ones truely complicating pysical understanding... an understanding that has consumed you Mr White.

For the record, Im one of the 'no religion and I like it that way' votes. Which couldnt be true enough. I respect every religion for the grounds of which it began and thrives to this day, but I do not support any man made system of control. Or character regulation of any kind.
But those among us who blame religion for man's faults, or see any form of 'ignorance' in its ways should take a few perspective steps backwards. Those of you who live purely for pysical existence are the true fools, you have seleceted your god. And it is man's own blind advancements or 'government' for whom you have happily bent over and had your asses pumped full of lies, money, laws and all of your non-believing obsenities. You've been defiled and raped by a system that reaks of a demon's craftings.

Is this a rant against government or people who dislike religion or ...what IS this about anyway?

Forgive any disrespect you may have interpreted, but its really my pity you have earned. Your minds have not opened yet, and may never until YOU -free of religion or influence- choose to see gods origional will in every aspect of the remaining gifts around us. I'm a tree hugging hippy and I'm ****in proud of it. What!

In other words you are a bigot.You feel pity for people different than you because you equate that difference with inferiority.

But there is only one God, he has a name, and it would really pain much of this world to find out the truth the hard way.


You are simply regurgitating Pascal's wager here.PW has been thoroughly refuted a hundred thousand times but still the fallacious argument persists.
Without rational justification to support YOUR particular god-claim then your god is no more likely than ANY god to exist.Therefore, if it turns out that the God of Islamic terrorists IS the one true God or that Satan or some other trickster is the supreme ruler of the universe, then you are in at least as much trouble as any atheist and your choice to worship Yahweh will cost you as dearly as if you had chosen Vishnu, Odin or Eric Clapton.


Technically there are MANY gods that DO exist.Unfortunately none of them are supernatural.They are wooden idols, deified mad emperors and natural phenomenoae(i.e. the sun).In this context I am an atheist because I do not willingly worship anything as a god.
In the scientific sense I am an atheist becasue I do not believe in the existence of things which cannot be demonstrated to exist or whose existence is not rationally inferred.

I respect yours, why don't you respect mine(then again, with Christains like Jerry Faldwell and Mindworm, who could blame you?).



If it is one thing I have learned it is that resorting to name calling/ad hominems is no way to advance a position.However, i have also come to realise that if an atheist dares to point out fallacies in the logic/reasoning of a thesit's particular argument, they immediately begin jumping up and down screaming about how they have been slandered and abused.

You are right to say that attacks on the person are a no-no.However critical analysis of an argument or line of reasoning is completely fair game and you should not assume you are being called "stupid".I am not saying this is what you are doing.Maybe the atheists here ARE(unlike the overwhelming majority) abusive and unecessarilly disrespectful.

Again, no one is obligated to respect someone's beliefs in a debate about said beliefs/lack of beliefs.If someone comes here and tells me "God exists and he loves you" then I am fully within my rights to ask "WHy do you believe this?" and if they respond with logical fallacies and vaccuous, bald assertions about "the promise of Heaven" and whatnot then I am again within my rights to point out that their claim is not rationally justified.

If they attempt to convert me through threats of damnation I am right to say "Bollocks!".

Having a little faith works for you, Slang, and that's fine but that doesn't work for everyone. Certainly not me and don't assume I don't believe in "nothing." You might believe there's only one road to all things but it never works that way.

As for my giant turtle comment, that was to show how anyone can proclaim anything to be the grand creator of it all and how difficult it can be to disprove it. It had no deep psychological attachment you can find in any book. It was just another ridiculous theory to a ridiculous concept.

"Turtles all the way down..." then?I am quite familiar ;)



And I'd hope myself not worth the time of someone who goes out of their way to stir petty conflict against supreme beings and people with enough balls to show a little faith.

Define "faith" since you introduced the concept.I am not being facetious here, it is just that I have heard a thousand people give me a thousand definitions of "faith" and it would seem that the one thing I can safely conclude about "faith" is that it is a subjective term lacking any sort of consistency.

And I never touch the stuff.


For that reason I feel karma will make a stop for you. Not because your a bad person, after all who would I be to make that assumption. I'll admit, my comment may have deserved your witty 'oh please' reaction... but I choose to believe that those who proudly believe in nothing have set a bumpy road ahead of themselves.


One does not "choose" what one believes or disbelieves.Try 'choosing' to believe in Santa Claus right now(after all you can always choose to switch back right?) and tell me how it works for you.I can no more control what my mind tells me sounds rational than I can control my skin color.The closest I can come is to LIE about what I believe/don't believe.


I believe esther, that you may find the truth upsetting once you discover it. I'm sorry, did that seem like a lecture to you esther? I apolagize.

How do you distinguish what is likely true from what is likely false?What methodology do you subscribe to adn can you provide examples of certain knowledge you have verified as 'true' or 'false' by this methodology?

Or are you simply making bald assertions about your own dogma?

I could care less how you feel about the relationship of government to spirituality.What I am concerned about is that you seem to equate lack of spirituality with inferiority(or worse?).To do so, you must embark on a series of presuppositions...

1)You must presuppose that "spirit" or "spiritual things" exist.(here I am assuming by "spiritual" you are meaning the non-physical/supernatural usage).

2)You must presuppose the ultimate source of that spirituality to be "good" and that "goodness" to be some objectively definable quality.

3)Finally you must presuppose that lack of conviction in "spirituality" is equivalent to "not good" and deserving of "bad karma" adn such.

An awful lot of presupposition.

[BlackSymbiote]

I'm semi religious. I believe there is a God, but I don't like organzied religion. I mean seriously, Jesus was a poor man, he lived simply. God, for all his immense power, isn't a wealthy man either... so why do we have to worship in these expensive churches full of false idols (man's interpretation of what Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, and Angels would look like), especially when we are constantly told to pray for the less fortunate. You know, the amount of money that went into and still goes into the building and maintence of the church could probably feed a good amount the hungry, clothe the naked, and give shelter to the homeless.

Anyway, I'd thought I'd stir the pot a bit with a speech from a script I just wrote. In fact, I think this is a completely original thought because I've never heard anyone speak of it this way. This has been edited:

"Imagine if you, your life, your fantasies, your dreams, your desires, everything you chose to be, and everything you want to become were nothing more than lies? What if your status in life was permanent and there would be no breaking from it? In the beginning, God only created the Heavens. He created us, the Angels, and we lived in a paradise. But there was one power that God has no control over. That power of absolute opposites. For every good, there must be an evil. Before your history even began, an angel named Lucifer decided he didn’t want to be a citizen under God anymore. He decided that he was going to usurp power and take the throne. He even raised an army. They failed, and God banished him into what is called Hell. Absolute opposites. The ultimate good versus the ultimate evil. Lucifer was so enraged at being cast out of paradise that he continued to wage a war with Heaven. Unfortunately, both our sides were limited and both sides suffered heavy casualties. When God and Lucifer began to realize that their once vast numbers were now dwindling, the two met, for the first and only time. They decided that in order to continue the war, for each wanted absolute victory, they would need to build a plane of existence where they could harvest, at certain times, more and more souls for their armies. So they created Earth."

Same with MOHAMMAD.

Sooo how do they have the same stories ??? I don't know much about Islam, but I can explain the Christianity/Judism thing.

To put it simply, Judism and Christianity are the same religion, except the Jews didn't accept Jesus as the son of God. Both Jews and Christians worship the same God, which is why Christians have the Old Testimant (the Jewish holy text) as part of their own holy text. It is the New Testimant that sets the religions apart and makes them different. Christians and Jews both believe in the Old Testimant, and that part of their religion is the same. It is just the New Testimant that sets them apart. :)

However nowadays he is more or less seen as a god. In many of the Buddhist temples around the world (I've been to several in China, I can't speak for elsewhere) they have big statues of Buddha, and people go and pray and worship him.

Many individuals who say that they do not believe in God would appreciate knowing if there is a solution to the problems of poor health, family discord, injustice, and so forth. They are sincerely interested in finding answers to such questions as: ‘Why does evil exist?’ ‘Why do bad things happen to good people?’ and ‘What is the meaning of life?’

Have you ever wondered: ‘If there is a God, why is there so much suffering and injustice in the world?’
Read Jeremiah 10:23.
*** Rbi8 Jeremiah 10:23 ***

23_I well know, O Jehovah, that to earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.

What's your opinion of this?

Proofs of the existence of “the living God.”: The fact of the existence of God is proved by the order, power, and complexity of creation, macroscopic and microscopic, and through his dealings with his people throughout history. In looking into what might be called the Book of Divine Creation, scientists learn much. One can learn from a book only if intelligent thought and preparation have been put into the book by its author.

In contrast to the lifeless gods of the nations, Jehovah is “the living God.” (Jer 10:10; 2Co 6:16) Everywhere there is testimony to his activity and his greatness. “The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.” (Ps 19:1) Men have no reason or excuse for denying God, because “what may be known about God is manifest among them, for God made it manifest to them. For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.”—Ro 1:18-20.

Jehovah God is described in the Bible as living from time indefinite to time indefinite, forever (Ps 90:2,_4; Re 10:6), and as being the King of eternity, incorruptible, invisible, the only true God. (1Ti 1:17) There existed no god before him.—Isa 43:10,_11.

I believe in God very strongly (I pray every night), and I believe in most of the stories of The Bible, and I'm proud of receiving Communion and Confirmation, but at this point, I don't really claim a religion. I feel God and religion are two separate entities. I'm a follower of God and his word, but not religion.

I'm an atheist. But wow am I surprised at the results of this poll. 30 atheists. that's way different from the proportions present in society. In America we make up less than 5% of the country and less than 15% of people under the age of 35.

worldwide though I think we are the fourth or fifth largest group now.
