What's your Religion?

i don't think the problem is God...i think the problem is people trying to be God....noone can say this is good or this is bad without God...because if God didn't make the standard then there is no standard to go by...anything goes would be the result...no good or bad...opinion doesn't count for anything....that's a big problem ...people's opinions...they think whatever they wanna think with no basis for thinking it...make up their own rules...trying to be God...don't trust religion...trust God...people will always let you down eventually...God doesn't...doesn't mean you always get your way though

 

I am now starting to believe in reincarnation... or at least zombies as this thread now qualifies as undead!

 

Last time "zombies" came up in a thread it went straight to hell, with lotsa nastiness

 

Deja vu ...

 

Other specify:
I believe in creating luck, dreaming realities, flying underwater, moving forward, conscious guidance, dry ammunition, and four-wheel-drive.

 

This makes a lot of sense and certainly seems to be the case with me.

 

"Oddly enough, on average, serial killers also have IQs far superior to those of the norm. Geniuses are also more likely to go crazy than ordinary folk. What does all this prove? Not much."

I don’t consider myself a religious scholar but isn’t catholic (Catholicism) considered Christian.

 

What if, as a person who does not believe in any god or gods (and who thinks the idea of god is just one possibility in a sea of ideas) - what if as a conscious being I am given pain and pleasure as a starting point from which to learn empathy; eventually this leads to a robust philosophy about rights of living beings, particularly those who feel pain, and particularly for those who are intelligent. And one day I thought, "Do I have the right to kill even an animal, not for my survival, but for convenience and excess?" My body is equipped to live without meat!

At that moment I knew I could no longer justify killing, or having someone kill for me, any animal- except for survival.

That includes humans, who by any standard, are similar to if not exactly like the animals (tho we are not the king of the jungle nor are we the king of the sea).

This philosophy does not need any god or gods for me to sense right and wrong. I base it upon the naturally occurring guides that all humanity is graced with, pain is bad and pleasure is good (pleasure is developed into things like "wow thanks for washing my truck").

You can try to make an argument that these "came from god" and I invite you to search yourself for proof that god exists- it is the main idea many people claim to be the philosophical and ethical wellspring for ideas and guidance but where is this god? How can a person pretend something is real for their whole life? I reject this kind of thinking that is not critical of the self. You will find that your faith in god includes absolutely no proof, for that is what faith is.

And what if I told you I believe that there are living beings who created life on Earth, and who I communicate with, and they live on Jupiter, but I could not let you talk with them (but potentially they might talk to you) and I insisted they are real; would you believe in my Jupiter pen pals? I hope not. I hope you would think that without proof, the idea is laughable. But how could anyone laugh at my "creation beings on Jupiter" who share the same level of "non existence" as anyone else's god or gods? I could just as easily "have faith" that they are real.

 

Biggest load of fragmented bullshit I've ever heard! What alliens are you talking to here? Has the mothership visited your backyard lately?

 

i stopped believing in santa claus, the tooth fairy, somewhere around the age of eight

sadly it took five more years to come to the same resolution on the exisistence of a "god"

 

back for more bro?? I hope down deep inside you are really happy and not just on the 'run'.
I have seen God work in my life man and nobody in this world has to believe me. Simple as that.

...........................that is very funny, but lets make sure it doesn't get carried away, cameradude always keeps it real and he is passionate on his stance.................kinda like me on mine...............

team on three........1...2...3... TEAM!!

 

This pretty much sums it up. If you are easily offended by the truth keep moving on.

I am a christian one would say but i do not follow the "religion" i hate religion...all it seems to be is rules, regs and clicks and turns more people away from God rather than what it was intended for. So i believe in God and in Jesus and the Bible just i do not like the way churches run things these days.
