What do you believe in? ie, Religion? Atheism?

Dave2l

On a scenario basis, of course:

A) I believe in Christianity as I was brought up this way, (Catholic or Protestant).

I have another religion. For example, a Buddist.

C) I was not brought up religious but I have followed christianity/Another religion as an adult.

D) I dont have any religious attachment and dont believe in things that can not be 100% confirmed or denied. There are too many holes in the theory of evolution and too many holes in religion. I am, therefore, Agnostic.

E) I am Purely 100% Athiest and think, once your dead, you are dead. All this, the world, is just pure luck and happened by accident without any concious being creating it. Evolution denies religion or any other "fantasy world".

F) Life is too weird to make anykind of actual sense. I dont think too far ahead about it..but suspect there is something out there we are yet to discover about "Life". Evolution might just be a key or part of a gradual discovery to a very big unknown picture.

G) The thought of death terrifies me as I love life too much. I wish I could believe in religion that comes with the heaven feature, but its just not within me to feel that way. Im still hopeful for an "after life" and like the idea of scenario (F)!

H) I was already wearing a little charlton scarf as a fetus. Life, death, beliefs, its irrelevent to me... Im only ere for charlton.

I) I dont give a sh*t

J) Other... (explanation required)

I fall into the category of choosing Christianity as an adult. I used to think it was far fetched to imagine a superior being creating the world, but I started to believe that it made more sense than just believing that we're all here by chance. I became a Christian at the age of 19 and my life has never been the same. I feel I have direction and purpose.

And no, an explanation is not required. Matthew 6:5-6 and Qu'ran, 2:256.

There's only one church I go to and that's the church of Simon. Who's with me?

Dave2l

Why would this get sinked? I described in detail what I ment and was respectful and objective enough.

I also didn't say my beliefs.

It's not what you said, it's the inevitable discussion that will follow...

I see no reason why religion deserves any particular respect in any event. If someone tells you they believe in dragons and wizards would they get the same sort of respect? It's no different.

E) by the way.

Addicted

For the record I believe in dragons and wizards

I don't know, I don't believe in there being a singular all powerful being to which we are just pawns.

Surely he/she is just a pawn to something greater

And they're a pawn to something even greater

But they're also a pawn to greater beings

Who are pawns to greater beings

Who are probably pawns to greater beings...

Etc

The universe is too vast to fathom.

I would prefer to only care what happens on our little earth in our solar system, I don't even think you have to worry outside of our galaxy.

In other words

I don't fudging know I don't have the capacity to comprehend beyond my life.

I'm Jewish and my wife is catholic. As a compromise we had Oy Vey Maria as our wedding song.

I personally dont think anything has been done wrong by starting this thread... At the end of the day I've made my opinions known on the topic just above but at the end of the day its each to their own, if someone believes in something then that is totally their choice, I just have one rule myself which I dont like it when people try to force their religions on me
