How religious you are?

[Taiwarriorz21]

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

Hwo do you have a personal relationhsip with Jesus when he's been dead for years? And why can't other people have this same relationship?

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.

But remember that any suficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. To paraphrase Aurther C. Clarke. Meaning "god" could simply be an alien scientist who's experiment is us. That there is a chance that what created us was some equally mortal being.

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

Sooner the better. From what I've read the world will be a better place after the rapture.

I'm a religious guy and i think all the talk about God being something like scientist doing He's sick test on us is just not right.I believe in the power of God and i do know that he does exist eventhough we don't see Him face to face.

I'm a scientist. First and foremost, I believe what can be empirically proven. I believe in evolution, I believe in the Big Bang, and I believe that humans are not the only species in the universe.

None of this means that I don't believe in God, however. I do, I just believe that He plays a more passive role than some people are led to believe. I think that God started everything going in the universe, such as the Big Bang and such, but after that He mostly just let things sort themselves out.

I still ain't going to church, though.

Religion is full of crap, and if god exists he sure has alot of explaining to do. If "god' loves his own his creation, why would he let people suffer? Or why does his own contradict himself over several things. Faith doesn't make anything real, it just feels real.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I don't believe in God. I don't believe that a supposed supreme being would let his people suffer the way he does. And don't give me that ''Teaching us lessons" bullcrap. You can teach someone a lesson without bringing death, plagues, etc on them.

I'm strictly a scientist. I believe the universe was created scientifically without God. I believe it will end with God, and when it does. It's simply over for us.

You know that's not quite a good thing to say about God. God has his own for letting his creation suffer.For one thing,He wants the, to learn from all those things.As for the killings and the dying,well,maybe it was just their time.

Sure, continue to foolish believe in that, but whatever.

It's their own right to believe in God or not.There's no forcing you to believe in Him or not.

 

[LexCorp]

Religous...not very as I do not tend to stand for ceremony and church etc.
But I do belive in higher powers (god) other worlds (hell, heaven).

So when women and/or children (and the rare case of man) are brutally raped, it was meant to happen? When people die--GET KILLED for the color of their skin, sexuality, beliefs, or just because someone was bored, it was just their time to go? You cannot be serious.

I wouldn't say that bad things are meant to happen but if God prevented them from happening then there would be no such thing as free will.

So many "oh, well, its just convienience" statements. So much "We can't be sure, but you must follow us anyway" I think I'd rather think for myself.

Ok, Walk me through this then. I am a gay american (Lol, couldn't help it) And I am deemed to be going to hell, Right? There are religious people who kill or bash gay people. I keep hearing that god loves all, but I also hear that I won't go to heaven because i'm gay... What about the people who kill us, bash us, condemn us? Where does that leave them?

That is so terrifying, the complete absence of reason.
Tai, How Do You Know that?!?

If personal relationship with God is the only requirement for someone to get into heaven then I can name off several bloody and horrific dictators who will be waiting to greet you in Heaven. Even Hitler claimed at one time "to be doing to Lord's work" (although his beliefs are in dispute).

If being a good person is the goal then I must confess Christianity isn't very good at this. Especially when you consider how bloody the initial spread of Christianity was. Especially when you compare it to the relatively peaceful pasts of Judaism (which tended to be the victim not the victimizers), Jainism and Buddhism (which hold violence as the highest evils) and sects of Hinduism. In fact religions like Islam derived much of their violent tendencies from disputes with Christianity itself. Such as Islam, which started off as a "religion of peace", only to be caught up in turmoil and stryfe.

I suppose I would say if you feel like you need a mythic being or "God" to help you be a good person, then by all means pursue that...I don't. However, this doesn't mean I will stand for a notion that I am somehow going to hell because I choose reason and rational thought over faith and spirituality. I just do. This makes me no better or no worse than anyone else...and your kind of breed of intolerance is mostly what gives religion a bad name.

I don't bash I just don't agree with it
