How religious you are?

[Honey Vibe]

G-d's beloved are not the Christians, Jews or the Muslims; its those who believe in him, submit to his will and are upright in their character.

Its not necessary for a person to change their religion in order to fit this description, just follow the best of what it has to offer.

I'll remember you said that.

 

[vegeta21]

Wouldn't call myself religious per se. I do have somewhat of a Taoist/Buddhist/Gnostic/Estoeric worldview, and think that most religions are somewhat right, and at the same time...flawed.

I'm not religious. Religious in my experience means believing in something without proof. I'm incapable of that. I find more comfort in the world being based on random chance rather than a divine plan. I find it better that there is no invisible man in the sky watching over me.


To me little gray aliens are more real than god could ever hope to be.

The idea that God is an invisible man in the sky watching over us is pretty rediculous. Just keep in mind that not everyone who believes in God believes in that.

Considering that there's trillions of planets in the universe it would be arrogant to assume that we're alone.

I think people believe in creation because they hate to think we came from pond scum.

My dad was a Youth Pastor for 14 years so I grew up in a Church and consider my self very involved in my faith. I dont really prefer to call my self religious. Since im not in a specific religion.

But it's the central theme of most religions. Buddism is about the only one that doesn't really have one. If you believe in a god you believe in an invisible man in the sky watching you. On some level anyway.

Trillions of suns yes, trillions of planets not for sure. Not every sun has planets. Still being the end result of pond scum is more reassuring. Besides the little grey aliens could have created us. For craps and giggles. And are up there right now ROFLMAO-ing at us for creating religions based on their little grey butts.

I'll remember you said that.

I hope you do for you benefit.

And no, it's not just silly because I said so, it's silly because you think god being able to be spelled backwards as dog has any bearing on reverence, for a supposed being that you yourself find to be so far above humanity that it would demand reverence in the first place. The logic of such a viewpoint is what makes it silly. Very silly.

Yes, its silly just because you says so and its not silly because I say so and because I know my reasoning for doing it. And since I don't subscribe to your opinion, I could care less about it.

Spelling G-d the way I do is just one way I express that reverence and respect.

By the way, I don't find G-d far about humanity at all. That is your belief: Not mine, and I find that view particularly silly myself and devoid of logic.

Obivously we hold two different concepts of G-d and therefore you will never be able to understand the way I choose to worship but would rather laugh off your ignorance by calling what I do silly.

I consider myself a moderately religious person... but I'm not about to force my beliefs of God and Christianity on anyone.

I'm aware that its the central theme of most religions, and I still find it a ridiculous concept. Man just seemed to put a humanistic spin on an omnipotent force of energy that they couldn't really explain, plus we were less evolved back then anyways to understand the concept of energy and relativety or cause and effect. I still label it "God", but its far from an invisible man in the sky. Religions that fanatically cling to that concept will eventually die.

If you don't think god is above humanity, why do you feel you need to revere him then?

Also, the first sentence of your post is utterly hilarious.

 

[Darthphere]

Um, God is above humanity. If he wasn't, I wouldn't pray to him. Thats like if I prayed to Calvin.

 

[raybia]

I revere G-d because he is my Creator and my protector, provider and mantainer. G-d maintains a relationship with his creation after creating it. He also perfectly understand man's humanity because he created it.

I'm happy you are amused.

 

[raybia]

From that sense, I understand where you are coming from and I agree.

I read or interpreted something different into the statement "G-d is far above humanity."

 

[Cyrusbales]

god is far above humanity, really? Evidence? And if god is, why would god care about us rubbish people

 

[captain_jimbo]

Well I'm a Catholic, but I'd never looked down on other people's beliefs or religions, and I would certainly never try to force my beliefs on to other people. I just feel glad to have been brought up with faith in God, because I couldn't bare it if I thought that there was nothing after this life.

this life ain't good enough for you is it?
ungrateful!

Asking for any sort of evidence regarding god is pretty shaky, considering, but if he's omnipotent and omnipresent, wouldn't that easily put above humanity?

But wouldn't that be subjective though? the fact that God is superpowered and a necessary part of the universe(supposedly), how does that make god better than us? Being super-powered doesn't make someone superior as a 'person'(so to speak). That's like saying that Krypto the superdog is a better character than batman

Well I guess that you won't be able to get into Heaven even after death when you get your "PROOF" on Judgment Day. Make no mistake my friend!!! THERE WILL BE A JUDGMENT DAY period ... I'm glad to be a Christian when that occurs! LoL

No, it isn't like that at all. We're not talking about who's a more engaging character to read about, we're talking about whether he's a higher being, all things considered (assuming he's real, which he's probably not).

I guess being the Creator of the Universe and everything that comes with that package wouldn't make God......"SUPERIOR"? Is that what you're saying? LoL

But fundamentally, most religions are the same. So why should only christians be spared?
