Religion Thread

Just vote for your religion/whatever...And tell my why you chose this! For example, why didnt you chose Islam? or christianity?

I believe in god, but I dont know which religion to follow. I am going to read the koran, bible, and tora and see which one makes most sense to me...I just have to find the damn time to do this!

Rules (yeah there are muffing rules):
Try not to flame and be civilized.
Dont Start another point when there is still one going around...

FYI:

There is a misconception of what an agnostic actually is:
It does not mean option 5 in the poll....

Wikipedia:
"Agnostics claim either that it is not possible to have absolute or certain knowledge of the existence or nonexistence of God or gods; or, alternatively, that while individual certainty may be possible, they personally have no knowledge. Agnosticism in both cases involves some form of skepticism."

So why'd you forget agnosticism then? It is what I am.

Yeah, my bad...I figured there were so many of these religion types that I would just put a category as "other"...

 

[ChrisH36]

Our family is Christian, but I dont see Religion as a spiritual fulfiller. I just see it as a method of teaching to be "good" in life.

 

[Renzokuken]

Christian.

The Religion Selector claims that I'm 100% Neo-Pagan.

Which is bullshit...I'm not into Wicca or voodoo or any of that stuff they defined it as...it's just the only polytheistic system they had, so it had the only answers to the questions that made sense to me.

I believe in multiple deities...there could be one higher one who's worshipped by many religions as "God," but there are a lot of lesser deities.

I also believe that there's nothing supernatural about gods and goddesses whatsoever, just that they're beings that exist primarily on a plane of existance of which humans only have limited capability of understanding, and thus seem like gods to us. Like how a man would seem to a semi-sentient ant, except size isn't the only factor preventing true comprehension.

Hmm...Don't you think that there must have been some supernatural being (of infinite power) that created everything?

No.

 

[Ninja_Blue]

I'm not really sure what I believe in, everything I know clashes with everything I believe. So it just leaves me confused.

What I think is that most of the religions have got their facts wrong. But at the same time, I'm still confused.

Thanks for spoiling the moment, now how am I supposed to "kick your ass" now?

I grew up in a Catholic Christian faimly. Following a long line of Irish Catholic immigrants.

I'm agnostic, although my parents insist on me going to church every Sunday.

Mainline - Liberal Christian Protestants

I took that quiz thingy, and it said for the 100% one that, and I read some of the info, and that is truly what I am.

 

[Wing Zero]

i usually just count the top 5

 

[Ninja_Blue]

Well, the beliefs of that religion fit what I think.

How I was saying that the facts were wrong.

It says they think of the bible as the witnessing of God, not the word of God. And he is the creator, Jesus is his son, etc.

 

[Ethanael]

100% Unitarian Universalist, with 97% Theravada Buddhist, Liberal Quaker, and Neo-Pagan coming in close 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.

Neato.

 

[Ninja_Blue]

I had Neo-Pagan as like, 4th or 5th, which confuses me, cause I don't like pagans. :\
