Religious Affiliation

[ade.hell]

I know it's a personal question, so if you don't wanna answer, don't do this.

I'm katholic. Am I religious?... Not sure, my mum says I know more teolog than some priests. But from the other hand I'm 16 and I still don't have confirmation (if everything would be on time in my parish I shuld have it year ago). I know it's nothing big, but still...

So, what are You?

[_senbonzakura_]

ok, i am going to be the first one who is answering that question :
I am jewish......and i sertanly Am religious..

[Ethanol]

Catholic....I have had 12 years of catholic education and am pretty religious. I know a lot about the bible and the religion. I attended mass for awhile, before not attending it due to many activities coming up. I still attend during the religious holidays though.

[blackmary]

bonafied Catholic and seriously religious! :p

[SoundWave]

umm... let me think... hmmm.. I think I'm christian protestant (or something like that). Anyway, I do not believe in god an other christian stuff. I haven't had confirmation either, dunno why you should do it, sounds so troublesome..

But i do believe in living day by day, without worrying about the future. I don't think I'm an Atheist, but I just don't think about these christian things..

[Chris`]

im not really sure what i am exactly...
i believe in God, but, i believe he just sits on top, and just lets the world run as it is...
im actually really confused about religion...but not looking to figure it out

[Naeko]

I'm a passive protestant.

[tednfs]

Catholic
Been in A loyola school for three years
Practising Christian

[Raku]

I'm atheist, I dont believe there is a god. Evry1 got a different view on stuff, right?

[Shinji]

I'm Christian Protestant but I'm not religious so maybe I can't say I'm that.

[Rokusaburo]

I was riased Catholic. Been in a religious controvercy all my life. My mother and her side of the family are catholic while my fathers side is Strictly Adventist. Excluding my father and his mother, they are Spiritualists. You know people who believe in dreams and what not, some freaky thang. For me, being in this crossfire of beliefs, I've been led to question a lot.
As for my religion, I consider myself more Naturalist then anything. Believeing in one god, yes, but not the same way most others do. If i were to ascosiate(sp) myself with a religion it would have to be Buddhism/Taoism.
As for being religiuos, Of course, In my own Faith.
I do honestly believe that difference in Religion does not utterly matter, as long as everyone does believe in their morals and principals, and respects each others views and thoughts.

[thief.13]

i'm christian catholic...i wont say i'm religious but i talk to God everyday...
i believe in God coz truth cant be denied and i really do love God, he's like my best friend...

[Rokusaburo]

Very respectable post Thief.

[M_Ghey]

I guess I'm Orthodox Christian, but I am pretty much the least religious person ever. I think there is a God though.

[Neve]

I think I would be...agnostic deiist?
I'm not sure if there is a God or not, but if there is he definitely doesn't care about us (thats just my view - don't take it personally anyone).

[MooL]

Wow, I've never heard anyone say they were a deiist before. I mean, Ben Franklin was a deiist. That's really cool, itsovernow.

Well, I was born into a Protestant Southern Baptist family, and I'm still quite faithful to it. Like theif.13, I talk to God every day and he's pretty much my confidant and best friend.

I can't say I'm insanely religious, (Though it's a big part of my life and I do belong to two churches) but I do go to church almost every Sunday, though I do admit to skipping sometimes. Up until last year, I'd go to church every Wednesday, too, but due to school and some traveling complications, I haven't been making it.

[asian]

i'm buddhist.
i'm not freakishly religious...
i just go to the temple when my mother makes me, or if it's for something really important...*shrug*

[jodec123]

I'm Muslim...I'm pretty religeous, I go to Sunday school and pray five times a day and all that.

[Jinchuu]

I lost my interest on the way.
The main reason is because I realised it does not matter if you abide by the rules or not, like drinking alcohol, praying, etc. the only thing that matters in life is if you are a good human being or not, since when you die, it's over, no other life (heaven&hell) and if you are strong enough to accept that fact you don't need religion to be in your life.

[Random Havoc]

There are other advantages to religion... but that of caurse depends oin your definition of religion, for me, my definition, I'd agree with you though.

I'm Hindu. Or supposed to be. I don't be lieve in our Gods... since we got quite a few :P but I don't know I know the religious plays by heart, kinda like the bible but with more action :P I've been completely Atheist but until I got a gold chain of a "Om" sign on my neck, I've been wearing it everyday, I never take it off.

Seeing all the time, changed me a bit. Note I'm still not "religious"... I don't pray per say. But I have my own ways...

If lets say I see something funny, but it's not quite right to laugh about, or if I see something bad. Or if I feel I need luck during a nervous moment or something, I'd either hold on to my necklace and say a little something, like "Give me the courage" or "I know I was laughing, but it's crual, I'm glad I don't need to suffer like that and I'm thankful" or "I know these thoughts can be normal but for what it's worth, I never wish for it to happen". Something along those lines.

It's really that which led me to truly believe that God as a being is not important, religion as a fanatic guide is like a double edge blade. All that I know is that I'm actually a good person at heart and that I hope to remain so.

That my friend is my religion, yes, that's it. I can't give it name, but that's what my personal religion is.

well said Jinchuu. Im not religious, but I agree with what you said about just being a good human being.

[saycheese]

i am a druid, i smoke weed and hug the treez

[SumpfFuchs]

I have been raised christian, but really have no interest in religion, christianity, or anything of the sort because of my personal views of which I will not share because of the controversial nature of them.

[choking]

im a christian... i dont say im religious but i dont forget praying, etc. ^ ^

[Kenta]

i don't have one atm, my parents pray to buddha and stuff but not particularly religious.

[vision33r]

When you're all grown up, with a busy life, good job, kids, a wife, and own a house. The last thing on your mind is worrying about religious issues.

Life is too short, who has time for religion these days..

[UraharaTenchou]

i'm a christian,but have strayed away

[Thaliel]

I was baptized protestant and my mum and sis always drag to church on Xmas, but I personally rather find my way in wicca, though I merely do any rituals or so *almost have a bad conscience about that*

[Sorian]

I was born catholic but I'm not religious at all. I'm a good person though so thats good enough for me.

[Caity_walsh]

im a catholic . but the only time i go to church or my fam goes to church is if some 1 is making a sacrament (batism,reconciliation,holy comminion,confirmation,marage etc) i go to a catholic collage (high school) but we only hav church than 3 time a yr (1 for homegroup 1 for opening school n 1 for closing school) but i dont c any point for being catholic its a waste of time ! even tho i do belive in god !

[Caity_walsh]

i am a druid, i smoke weed and hug the treez
wtf? u smoke weed ! thats bad !

[azumi149]

Catholic....I have had 12 years of catholic education and am pretty religious. I know a lot about the bible and the religion. I attended mass for awhile, before not attending it due to many activities coming up. I still attend during the religious holidays though.

oh.. nice...

im a roman catholic. and i wont say that im religious. but i do obey the Church rules, and somehow, act as a Christian...

i have all this debate about religion in the other forum, jewish and catholics just dont have the same view in religion...

[Ethanol]

Of course they don't, the catholic religion believes that Christ is the savior, the true son of god. While the jewish faith either rejects him or sees him as another prophet.

[KuroShinobi]

I'm a buddhist at least that's what my parents are. I think I'm more of a freethinker. I do whatever I feel is right and I don't stick to religion rules. Also, buddism is a strict religion and I tend to be a rebel. Also, I totally agree to what Jinchuu said. There's no use of praying and being all so religious if you're gonna do something bad.

[WizKid77]

I'm pretty much athiest, now. So I'm not really religious at all. I was catholic though, when I was little. And just because I'm athiest doesn't mean I'm a bad person, so don't go around thinking worse of me because of that.

[M-50]

Im a Hindu and i am religious. I go to the temple every Sunday. :headbang: I follow the customs and participate in the festivals. :headbang:

[Miriya]

Agnostic...borderline athiest. Which in turn means that I'm not very religious at all. To me religion is stupid and just a means to an end, which makes me wonder about a lot of things. Sorry if I seem a little controversial when I say this but this is what I believe - religion kills, faith does not. This is the reason I think that religion is a means to an end.

[The_Supervisor]

100% religion-free here
Was baptized though but it wasn't my choice so... :whatevah:

[Phoenix-X]

my religion is Catholic and im very religious

[SmallKid57]

christian, i believe in Christ and stuff, but im not that "religious" per say...

[ADMBird]

Jehovah Witness.

[Icestorm]

im Christian, go to church but its more like a youth church so its pretty cool, but saying that i do talk to god as much as i can, pray everyday and so on.

[Hitsugaya Toushiro]

not religious or non religous kinda in between

[Rokusaburo]

I'm a buddhist at least that's what my parents are. I think I'm more of a freethinker. I do whatever I feel is right and I don't stick to religion rules.

Took, for most part, the words right outa my damn mouth lol.

I agree with you the most on the "free thinker" I dont need to be tied down to certain religiuose morals and principals to question my every thought and action. Hence I do shit when I want to for the reason I want to.

As for being a rebel of religion, I would say I'm not, cuzz I never followed any religion in the first place, so I can't say I'm a rebel. I just go with my own flow, wherever life may take me.~

Cheers

[Shinomori]

Atheist. Religions are nothing more than another person's beliefs being forced upon you. And with so many claiming they're right and no one else is....I believe they're all wrong.

I've argued this point extensively. It's rather fun. :)

[unwaken]

I'm a free-thinker and proud of it. :D

I only pray when I'm having a paper tomorrow and I haven't started studying yet. hehe. That's when having a God to believe in sure helps. :D

[=~brAnDoN-kAorU~=]

I'm somehow Catholic but I don't really go to church these days so I suppose I'm not religious anyway. :D

[ade.hell]

I'm a catrholic, and as I said I'm not too religious, but I can not see the world without God. I've really tried to, but everytime I've gone to wrong ideas. I trulu don't understand atheictic ones...

[lmegera]

I'm deist, which means I believe in a non-interfering god. The clock-maker god if you will. Just sits back and watches the world go, like a old man in a rocking chair on his porch. :D

[Pipp-ORK]

I'm a Catholic, and religious? I'd say about 50-50. :/ I seldom go to mass, though, except for occasions like Christmas and Easter and such. I felt guilty about it once, ATTEMPTED to read a little of the Bible, and got to page three before scrapping the idea and picking up a volume of Angel Sanctuary.



Heehee. :D

[viking swd 4]

I'm Catholic and went to a Catholic primary school. I am the least holy of all my pals from primary school. I never go to mass, never took my first reconciliation or communion and definately not my confirmation. I was only baptised. I dont know if there is a heaven, but i highly doubt it. I just want to live my life to the fullest while i have the time to live. If there is a God, then please forgive me for what I have written.

[K.Ogawa]

I'm a free-thinker and proud of it. :D
I only pray when I'm having a paper tomorrow and I haven't started studying yet. hehe. That's when having a God to believe in sure helps. :D

it's pretty humorous. some of the guys here that don't believe in God at all start praying to every god in the book when stuff goes down. i guess it's a human's nature to call out to a higher being, eh?

[Kazuya]

it's pretty humorous. some of the guys here that don't believe in God at all start praying to every god in the book when stuff goes down. i guess it's a human's nature to call out to a higher being, eh?
Yeah think so too.
And i m Catholic and dont go to a Church every Sunday or something like that.

[_strangechild_]

it's pretty humorous. some of the guys here that don't believe in God at all start praying to every god in the book when stuff goes down. i guess it's a human's nature to call out to a higher being, eh?
Apparently humans feel a 'need' to believe in something. I haven't read into that, though.


I'm an atheist myself.

[Z_Blitz]

Born and raised a Muslim myself. I believe in God and in Heaven and Hell. I believe that every action I take is one that will make me someday end in either places. I pray regularly and try to recite a little of the Quran (spelled as the Koran sometimes) whenever I have time. So in a sense yes I'm religious :).

[The_Supervisor]

Apparently humans feel a 'need' to believe in something.
I'm not really religious or anything, but like christians believe god created the earth I believe the scientific explanation first of all. But that starts from a gas cloud or something. There must have been some power that started it all, like from nothing to the gas cloud or whatever the beginning's supposed to be. I believe in that power/entity/thing/... whatever I'm supposed to name it.

[Jabman]

Im a religious muslim and Im proud of it.

[Dradam]

Although i don't believe in anything and am not religious, i still enjoy debating philosophical ideals and beliefs.

[Jabman]

thats cool

[Shaehl]

I'm Christian, though I'm not legalistic about do's and dont's.

[Lan]

Orthodox but not very riligius

[Dradam]

Personally i don't see the point in religion, in modern day it is pretty mcuh a waste of time. (no offence intended, this is my personal view)
During the medieval era it was simply a way to horde power.

[Uzhul]

Not religious at all. I believe that if there is a God, he must have a sick sense of humour to have made some of the things he made. No offense meant against any religion by the way

[a sexy penguin]

Not religious at all. I believe that if there is a God, he must have a sick sense of humour to have made some of the things he made. No offense meant against any religion by the wayi think the same way as him i think god must have a sick sense of humour making hurricanes and stuff

[~Natsumi Lam~]

i guess i am non-denominational or evangelical christian.... i am part of an exorcist team... so i guess i am what you call religious.

~Natsumi Lam~

[pylar]

I hate using the 'a' word... athiest. But its what I am. I just don't like the negative connotations of that word in todays society. I respect that people believe in religions, I just happen to not. I'm not out to change anyone's mind.

[Ios]

I have my own religion.
It's basically to be a good person basen on what I think is right and I also believe in higher powers and heaven.
Not hell because I think if you wish someone to hell, you could go to hell yourself

[Kuta~]

I have my own religion.

hehe, thats a pretty neat way of putting it. i'd say i was pretty much the same...

I was Born Into a solely Christian Family.....but....i myself am about as Religious as a Spoon....a Wooden Spoon...

[Tatsumaru_Ishida]

I was born into a non-church going family who had me Christened methodist, however i changed a couple of years ago to Buddhism.

I'm still not the most religious guy. But i do put a few minutes aside each day, to contemplate (if not mediate) on life, etc.

Mainly the Buddhist philosophy makes a bit more sense to me then the Christian one.

[Gangsta_inc]

hmm...well I have made my beliefs based on a few religions...you see Im supposed to be brought up a baptist..and I believe in the heaven and hell but I see hell as the time out center..like your there until you learn your lesson...but I also believe heaven is not infinite and thats where the reincarnation takes place...but Ive used up enough time explaining anyway....

[Sunfire249]

Buddhist... But in my personal opinion, I believe that all religions have truths and falsehoods in what they say so... I believe in the buddhist "hell repentenence" (Can't spell), where if you did something totally heiness you repent and then go to a better world...

[Chobi]

atheist, i was baptisted (or whats it called) but i never belived in god or never will either. even if there is small things in science u cant explain without the help of "divine intervention".

but to be its absurd to think god has existed forever.

but i dont have anything against other religions unless the do like in the muslim word, jihad

[K.Ogawa]

religion is a powerful thing. that's why I'm here today (Kandahar Afghanistan)

and though i am a Christian and would like for others to share in my beliefs, there is no way I would force it on anyone nor would I despise anyone whose beliefs differ. however, i do get pissed when people just outright blast others' faiths with willful ignorance... like I said before, I won't push my beliefs on others because that wouldn't make me any different than the Taliban. That's why it's called "belief". Not "force into submission to agree".

i'm happy to see though that everyone here is respectful of others' beliefs... ha, can you believe, though I'm a Christian, I also have buddhist beliefs (buddhism has no God, so it's compatable with my beliefs as a Christian, hah) and I have acquaintances and friends who are muslim and even satanist.

[Kyouka Suigetsu]

I'm a Catholic Christian. I wouldn't consider myself very religious, but my family does go to church pretty often. My beliefs about spirituality, the afterlife, and God are actually pretty liberal though.

[K.Ogawa]

i can seem myself believing like that if I wasn't much into my faith... did i say that kind of wierd? :eek13:

[Fafara]

I believe in supernatural stuff, but god? no.

[choujiwong]

I'm a Roman Catholic..I'm trying to be religious though...

[Qc0Jh1axT]

I believe in supernatural stuff, but god? no.


so you're saying God is NOT supernatural??

[Marke]

atheist
dont belive in god or any of that.
and really hate Religius Fanatics

[Boko]

Serbian Orthodox is the way to go ppl. Follow the light not the black whole next to you. Se me as your new leader and give me all your money! Hahaha just jokeing but i am a Serbian Orthodox and im very religous not that much that i wont have preemarige sex :P

[Isis]

*looks at the above poster* Ah ok lol.

Neway,Im muslim and I believe a fair amount of it though Im not the typical conservative types you see from the middle east ^^. South-east asia all the way :P

[saycheese]

i just joined a new religion and i became a jedi. not religious though

[Enkou Kitsune]

I am a Christian. A Southern Baptist, if you want to go so far as my denomination.

I have to confess though, I'm not as "Religous" as I feel like I should be...I need to go to church more, but I'm working on it.

All the morals and ethics I have came directly from my parents and my religion.

[adorkable]

I'm Catholic. But I'm not all that religious. But I have to go to church. I went today. I don't pray in my own time, for all I care.

I'm recieving the 'Sacrement of Confirmation' in May. Grrrr... next week I have confession... oh boy I've got heaps of sins. :LOL: Haven't been in confession for years... and I've only done it once.

When I grow older, I doubt I would even go. My sister's in uni and lucky for her she doesn't have to go anymore.

But I still have to do stuff like Ash Wednesday, Good Friday... and Lent has already started. Oh boy... lots of masses this month.

[Evenstar]

adorkable, I suppose you live in the Philippines? *winks*

Well, I'm a Catholic and I'm religious...I sing in a choir in our Church even if it's too far from our house...

I don't hate those people who say religion is quite pathetic, but I feel sorry for them...why? because having nothing to believe into is almost like saying that you're life is a huge bogus...it's a pity that they don't realize the purpose of having religion anyway...but...

oh well...I'm not a preacher or anything...I just can't understand why there are people who hates religion so much...it's not that bad (compared to the everyday crimes we get to encounter in every corner)...

[sto67]

catholic here. i suppose i am religious but not as much as i should be haha. my faith isnt weak, its just my dicipline lol

[ILoveYouSoiFong]

My religion is Roman Catholic. But, I consider myself as an "atheist"--I do not believe in any God. I don't want to explain myself here, it's just that... my ultra-rational thinking and the great influence of science had ended me up in this conclusion. By the way, I'm a Filipino.

[Dos Gramos]

im a filipino too. im a christian and i believe in God. im not religious though i want to be.

[Zanga]

I'm Hindu, from SriLanka but I'm in Toronto(canada) right now. I'm okay with my religion, but not the most religious guy ever. Enuff to keep my parents happy though.

[Nichigo]

:: High fives his fellow flips, Dos Gramos and adorkable ::
Mabuhay ng Pilipinas!

Anyway...I'm Christian (Baptist), and very involved in my local church. I sing in the choir, interpret for the Deaf, play piano for my Sunday School, and sing with my pinoy trio (^_^)-b

[Ninashi]

I'm a Christian. Not much was I influenced by my parents because they're Christians too...I had few things that happened in my life to decide to be one, and it changed my life for the better.

[Sarteck]

This might sound weird, but... I'm not really religious, and I don't believe in anything... but it's not that I don't believe there is Something Else. It's like, I don't believe, but I don't disbelieve. I'm rather wishy-washy about it, I suppose. XD

Okay, imagine you are told something that's rahter incredible by a friend. Since it's so incredible, you find it hard to believe. Yet, it was your friend that told you, so you don't really disbelieve, either. It's just something you keep in mind, and think upon every now and then, until you are shown the Truth.

I guess that about sums it up with me.

I think the term for you is agnostic :winking56

[Sarteck]

In a rather loose sense of the term, yeah. But I don't label myself as such. Heh.

I am Sarteck, and that's really all there is to it. ^_^

[IsshinMan_Hero]

I'm Christian Babtist, been raised in my faith since I was a baby. I believe in God, I pray to him, I respect him, and I love him. Though I've been raised and forced into my religion so I'm kind distant because it has been routine for so long that church just seems like a chore. Yet I still go to church(still being forced) so you could call me religious to a point.

[yumisan]

well...i am a Buddhist...and i hold strongly to my beliefs in it....lol...influence much by my mom.nah....since small...i'm religious and believes strongly in my religion without much help from my mom actually.:P

[Sunfire249]

I'm buddhist... But for me, quite personally is that I think that all the gods of the world exist ^_^ Is it wrong for me to think that? Not in my opinion at least.

[Reefern86]

I was rased catholic, but I've turned away. Im actually following my own religion right now. That may sound concieded, but I like it. My religion is called Reeferism by the way. And Im not try to joke there thats just my name lol.

[Hits]

I was raised protestant christian but i would much rather be an aeitheist.

[magesha]

o.O didnt expect 3 hindus (RH, rohil(sp) and zanga!) I am hindu too. hey zanga, by any chance, do u speak tamil( thats teh language some people in south india and sri lanka speak, for those who dont know) because i am tamil too. anyways, my family is very religious and i am kind of the oddball. although i tend to be more religious than te average person. some times people think i am religious to the brink of sainthood sometimes my faith wanes to the level of an atheist. but I think religion is a very important part of the life within and it has no part in the life without. that is in worldly extrovertional things, religion should play no part. and to those who think religion is the cause of misery etc., i would like to point out that its the people that abuse religious sentiments and not the religion themselves that are the cause. and i think there is an essential element of truth in all religions. I recently read somewhere as to how religious faith is an evolutionary trait in that a religious community has a better chance at survival as it sets moral values that are good for the health of the community as a whole. In any case, i enjoy philosophical and spiritual discussions and read a lot of books pertaining to this topic. I believe our religion has a wealth of thoughtprovoking books and other works with very deep understanding of the philosophy of life.

[Machiavelli]

My religion is Roman Catholic and I'm not really devout 'bout it.

The fact is, I do not believe in any God. Maybe I'm an agnostic or an atheist.

[strydr]

I am Muslim. I believe in God (Allah), and the last prophet Mughammad, in the Holy Quran too... i hate the prejudice attacks against muslims.
but i am proud to be one of them. I am the head of the Muslim Society at my High school.
There is a higher power... i have felt it.

[JokerXgg]

I am a proud Catholic!

[konakona]

Im a lil bit Catholic I guess

But I dont pray, go to church, say grace... ect

So... Im more like a lazy Catholic

^^

[Princess Gheyfu]

I am kinda like MARINE but I am mainly agnostic. I believe more on science then religous causes but no I don't believe in scientology.

[kakashi776]

I sort of am catholic but I dont really care that much for religion

[opticlink]

I study catholicism, but I am preparing to be babtized this easter vigil.

[SLVR]

I have no religion FTW. Im gonna go to hell.
<_<

[Nomadic Dragon]

I'm a Latter-Day Saint..the more common term though is Mormon.*Waits for the hatefilled pm's to begin* I'm not as devote as I should be, a fact of which I'm ashamed of..but I do follow what I'm supposed to do, it just I don't attend church as often as I should.

hehe, I wont send any hatefilled pm's, but some of you "people" are indeed quite .. pushy. :rolleye09

Personally I don't really believe in a god, so I think I would be called an atheist :toocool:

[Tyenkrovy]

I have no religion FTW. Im gonna go to hell.
<_<
>_>
Amen, brother SLVR! :LOL:

I myself sort of lean toward believing in something similar to the concept of the Brahman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman), in that I believe in a collective nature to and origin of the human soul. I've also heard too much about memories of past lives and whatnot to not believe that there's something to the concept of reincarnation. To be honest, I don't think there is any one religion that is the "true" religion. All have seeds of truth if you ask me, but no one is more "true" than another.

[MasterX25]

non religious because for me to believe in something i need proof that they exist like i believe there is christ but im not christian.

[laughingman]

Buddhist. And heck yeah i'm religious! i pray and attend ceremonies.

[Nikmi]

Im atheist. I don't believe in Any form for God or Afterlife. and yes im one of thoes people who consider religion to be something people believe in To be able to handle every day life. and to take away some of their fear for dead. but i guess thats just good for them :) Im a Man of Science. and i allways will be.

[Merovingian]

My whole family is Catholic, and I am, too. I can't say that I'm particularly religious. I rarely go to church, but I would like to do so more often when I leave home. I'm very interested in religious history. Also, I'm open-minded about other religions (or non-religious people), and I try not to judge people based on their faith.

[Harumoni]

I am Catholic, but I'm a horrible Catholic and I don't care much for religion.

I only go to church when I'm forced, I don't remember any of the religious holidays, not even Easter most years, and the thoughts that go through my head when I'm actually in church are ... scary, to say the least.

[Hinamori-Chan]

I'm atheist for the most part. I don't believe in god or any sort of divine upper being.

[Cassie]

I'm nonreligious. Maybe god's there, maybe he's not, I really dont care.

[Tenebrus]

Crhistian, but only on my ID (sort of...)
I don't believe in god,because i don't like the idea that someone, other than me can control my life. I don't believe in fate for that matter.
God is just an excuse, and is someone to blame when we cannot achieve something we desire...
I would believe more in shinigamis than in God.
I believe in Chuck Norris though looooool

[Kienergy]

When you're all grown up, with a busy life, good job, kids, a wife, and own a house. The last thing on your mind is worrying about religious issues.
Life is too short, who has time for religion these days..

IMHO this crazy life is more of a reason to seek God than to not. BTW I'm not religious (I view God and religion as different) but I know God exists.

[Kienergy]

.... Im a Man of Science. and i allways will be.

IMO Science proves God's existance not vice versa.

Case and point. If I put the components to your computer infront of you and said. You can use it but nobody can put it together would it ever function? Nope, you need someone to put it together.

If I had the components to create life there would need to be a creator also.

[Ronin36]

Try to top this:
I AM MORMON!
By the way, this is a misconception because although we use the book of mormon, the actual name of the church is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints". Spread the word!

[Javenne]

I'm a roman catholic, and if what you mean by being religious is going to church every week. You can say I'm quite religious.

[s3r3n1ty]

Christian. Of no specific type. I however havnt been christend yet, so i dunno....

[Shinimegami2007]

I'm Roman Catholic. I'm normally quite religious, but lately, I haven't been able to really attend mass since the very end of last year because of school.

[재]

im christian and im proud to be one. hmm mormon, we were studying about that religion, and found some differences, but anyway it's your choice in whta you believe in ^_^

[Sanzora]

I'm spiritual, but definately not religeous!

Dont get me wrong... I feel great admiration to the person who can commit to a religeon. I just can't stand being told what to believe... Open mindedness never hurt anyone.

[Azalea]

Im a Christian. I cant call myself religious though, but still I go to church, pray and believe in Jesus Christ :pangel3:

what is agnostic? anyway nice one ichigo for stealing that banner.

[HackEye]

what is agnostic? anyway nice one ichigo for stealing that banner.

it means "one who believes that there can be no proof of th eexictence of GOD, but does not deny the possibility that god exists"

man that sounded a bit texts bookess:face82:

[재]

oh okay, taht's a bit strange then. how can you believe that there is no proof, but believe that he can be exists??

[Isis]

Its possible. They just dont believe in most or all of the stuff that other religions say about god, yet they are not fully assure of it. Proving that god exists is something that humans cant really talk about yet we take on these religions because we choose to believe what they say about god.

Im a Muslim and I cant say that Im fully devout but I still believe in the basic teachings of Allah.

[dark soul slayer]

i an a christian protestant and i an religios:headbang:

[When_Hell_Sings]

well, i'm a jew and i believe in god but i'm not always keeping the rules of the holidays and stuff...

I feel the same way.
Im also a Muslim and i also believe whole heartedly in the teachings and the ways of the Prophet SAW and Allah.

[Allicat]

catholic and not religious.

[YuRiPaWings]

I would consider myself to be sorta christian but I'm constantly questioning. And I don't go to church for both the bible and the people there are inconsistant with their beliefs . . . bunch of hypocrites!

*isn't trying to offend anyone*
*is entitled to have his own opinion*

[ken_caldera]

hmm im supposed to be christian, but I'm not really religious.. i mean, i dont trust any religion.. and I know for sure that something created us.... but im not sure about this/these god or gods.

[Arakida Ayano]

I am christian I guess...I was baptised, then confirmed, but only for my Parent's really. I do philosophy at school so that opened my eyes to the reality of the situation, the arguements and problems against there being a God. I'd like to believe it, but I don't think I can! I go to church quite regularly, but believe in the parts of the Christian Faith that I think could be true.....strange really.

[Lyro]

I am also Christian (Roman Catholic). I love my faith but I can't bring myself to church often though. The spiritual content is awesome but the only things I hate are there are too many rituals and how many Chruch people behave to the Da Vinci Code incident. (Why can't you be married and be the saviour at the same time?) :(

[airswifter]

Im a faithful buddhist. It is a religion that preaches peace and harmony.

[hitsugaya131]

im a presbytarian christian
i love going to church, like i am in about 2 hours so i think im pretty religous

[Lyro]

All religions are more or less the same in context, just different ways of expression and theories.

[EtheR^]

Well, I belong to evangelical lutheran church, but I cannot say that I'm a religious person xD

[Nemesis0521]

I don't really follow a religion.

[ashiin]

i'm atheist, but i have followed my friends into trying out some religious practices, not because i want to follow one but i'm curious.

[novastar]

I am religious, I'm a follower of the old earth-based religions, akin to wicca, and the other neo-pagan religions,
Its just easier to call my self a pagan.
I believe in a goddess and a god, as being two different parts of the same unknowable being, the masculine side, and the feminine side.
I am very religious, I talk to my goddess daily, and my god, less so much.
They are there with me through the hard times, and through the good times, traveling the path i take with me, picking me up when i fall, keeping me going when i want to give up.


[kinda off-topic]From the religious people ive talked to, its a common belief of a follower of one of the major religions, to believe that the other religions are false.
IMO all gods/goddesses are the same being, they are the destination, the particular religion is just the path we travel to get there.[/end off-topic]

Buddhist and i can't say that im that relgious but i do respect it no doubt about that

[Kurai-chan]

i am a christian. i admit that i am not that religious but i do follow some of the practices like going to church [not regularly.. maybe 2 or 3 out of five times], celebrating christmas and birthdays of some saints [not much], and praying before i go to sleep [though sometimes i forget it when i'm too sleepy].

[kaede822]

im a christian... but im not the conservative type.... i'm open to different ideas... :D

[Wintersun]

I'm more of an atheist. I somewhat belive in the universe, because it's so structured and mysterious. But that there is a creator i don't belive. Just that things are like they are, and some things we don't know. yet.

I don't have a problem with christians or any other religions, but if someone tries to push their religion on me(happened several times) i become very.. eh.. hard to deal with. :P (you don't want to know details, believe me >_O)

[Nicole]

I'm Christian, but I don't go to Church or that... yeah, I'm lazy. =\

[Wintersun]

Hmmm.. Come to think of it, i think i'm still listed as a christian in the norwegian records of the church.

But if i sign myself out of that, i won't be able to get married in a church.. and that looks so cool.. err.. Oh the dilema >_O

Well i guess as long as they don't bug me :P

[AzNrIcErZbOi]

None. I don't believe in God/whatever.

I think God was made (people thought up of it) because everyone would like to believe that there is an almighty being controlling them. Everyone wishes for a powerful leader that is peaceful and nice that can create supernatural effects.

Think about it. If you do something bad, and there's no one to blame except yourself, you might blame it on God!

I'm (Roman) Catholic. I've had my First Communiun and Sacrement of Confirmation.

I go to church every Sunday (just like tomorrow), but I can't say that I'm a full believer. I mean, to be completely honest, I fall asleep in Church sometimes, and don't want to go. I'm not sure if I actually believe but it's something that I do.

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

lol... i hardly find ani buddhist/taoists in malaysia...which part of malaysia do u live in???

[icelycan]

I was raised as a kinda home-bred christian. But I have decieded to follow kind of a mixture of various religions called Onmyodo wich is a combination of Tao, Buddha, Hindu, and Shinto (I throw Wicca in as well). Though Honestly, I am mostly Shinto Based. I am pretty religious and often quarrel with myself. But in the same notion I am still open to discovery. I try and honestly say that all or most all have a possibility to exist but I am pretty against Islamic religions (Jew/Christian/Musleum/ect...) simply because of a few things I disagree with. But whatever you believe in is up to you and I won't force it on you, Though I am willing to teach (of course I am still learning so...). I plan on someday becomeing a wandering Onmyoji (Onmyodo Priest-Mage.)

[izzuru]

lol... i hardly find ani buddhist/taoists in malaysia...which part of malaysia do u live in???

i am a natrual witch, empathic, telepathic and healer. i do divinations and the like as well.

i grew up with no real path my parents let me try out what ever religon i wanted, they didnt force me to do anything i didnt want to do and didnt make it a requirement.

i found i was a witch a few years ago, and when i came out of the broom closet all of my friends who stayed friends with me said what you didnt know you were a witch, i always thought you knew but just never mentioned it. it was pretty odd.

so i guess i have been a witch all my life, although i never really praciticed till a few years ago.

My religion..Taoism..

[hobbes24]

we are faced with consequences every day
or is karma supernatural?

[bbnflpn]

i really dont know i should think about that for a while. i dont belive that it is supernatural however. it is the cause and effect of your actions baised on free will.

if you have done something bad, then you will (even if it takes years) eventually get the effects of the thing you did that was bad.

same thing with good karma.

i try to do good things with my life, yet bad things happen. im thinking that it has to do with left over karma from my past life. but the things that i belive are bad in my life, are usualy happening for a reason. so the bad things are actually good.

(i hope that was understandable)
