Please stay on topic.

I am Wiccan, and I follow the Green Path.

Sabrina · January 5th 2009, 09:46 PM

I'm Christian-Catholic.

BrittneyNicole · January 5th 2009, 09:48 PM

Christian.

Jack · January 5th 2009, 09:50 PM

Atheist. Slightly Agnostic, but far more Atheist.

Angel · January 5th 2009, 09:53 PM

Are we supposed to select "Christian" as well if we've selected "Catholic?"

Lizzie · January 5th 2009, 09:57 PM

It is multiple choice, so pick whatever combination you feel best represents yourself.

I have no idea what to believe. I figure, I'll figure out when I do. No point in wasting life trying to figure out what happens after, when eventually you'll find out anyway.

I just try to be the best person I can be, so that I can feel good with myself.

Perplexity · January 5th 2009, 11:13 PM

Agnostic.

Hyper Sonic · January 5th 2009, 11:16 PM

Atheist and strongly so

Care-o-Bear · January 6th 2009, 12:20 AM

Well, I am Christian but have strong beliefs about this that may oppose the beliefs of many Christians. I believe in God, Jesus, etc. but I don't think the Bible should be taken at face value or really put much stock in it at all. I also don't believe that God should be the center of one's life. I think if you're a good person you'll go to heaven if you believe in God or not

TakeTheLeap · January 6th 2009, 12:34 AM

I'm Catholic. And quite proudly so. I love my faith. It's what keeps me going. ^_^

Starlett · January 6th 2009, 12:38 AM

Catholic.

There are certain ideas which I strongly disagree with, I don't think this really matters. Honestly, I think religion and spirituality should fulfill for you whatever you want them to. I do get comfort from having my faith and I try to live as well as I can and to be a good person.

Chayla · January 6th 2009, 12:43 AM

Agnostic here.

Marionette. · January 6th 2009, 01:22 AM

Agnostic...

Someone explain what the deference between Agnostic is and Undecided?
In the end, aren't they kinda the same?

First, I'm Christian, Pentecostal to be exact.

Agnostic is kind of like saying you have a religion. Something along the lines of not knowing whether God exists or not because you think it can't be proven or disproved, however even though you can't be sure you still live either saying He exists or He doesn't exist.

Undecided in my opinion is deciding if you agree more with, say, Mormon, Christian, Catholic, or Wiccan beliefs and so on.

Ouu that makes sense. I was reading it another way.
Thanks

I'm Agnostic.

Undecided would be like, acknowledging that there is a higher power but not knowing what it is/what you believe it is.
Agnostic, on the other hand, is believing that there is no way to know if there is or is not something out there.
Agnostic for some people can even mean not caring whether there is a higher power of some sort, or being indifferent.

Lee · January 6th 2009, 03:52 AM

I am a non-practising Unitarian Universalist.

Ellie · January 6th 2009, 06:27 AM

Agnostic.

If I ever talk about a God, I talk as if he/she does exist. But I don't follow any set beliefs.

Slade · **3.17.10**

I'm an Athiest, but I may be driven back to Christianity by force of the family. =\

aranel05 · January 6th 2009, 11:41 AM

I am agnostic. I don't really believe that there is a God, but I also realize it is impossible to truly know.

Melody Pond · January 6th 2009, 12:09 PM

I am a Agnostic Protestant.

I was christened a C of E Protestant and was raised that way. My family are actually not religious at all but I went to church until I was about 7.

I am now Agnostic but I am an Agnostic leaning more towards Religion than Atheism.

I would like to believe in God but I need proof (I am a scientist at heart.). I do believe in some sort of Higher Power but I am yet to find it.

I've been raised as a catholic but...not too sure if I believe in him or not.

sushi_error · January 6th 2009, 05:19 PM

Born and raised Roman Catholic. I can't think of a better religion to suit me than Roman Catholicism.

Romantic Dragon · January 6th 2009, 06:55 PM

I said I'm undecided because while I'm technically Baptist I'm not entirely sure I believe in God all the time.

xxJesus_Freakxx <3 · January 6th 2009, 09:37 PM

Christian.
If you couldn't tell, God/Jesus are my L I F E ! (:

Atheist with conditions: prove to me that it exists and i will believe it, prove to me that its worthwhile and i will follow it. I'm from the school of science will prove it either way.

Khadra · January 6th 2009, 10:26 PM

I'm agnostic, and also quite intrigued by buddhism. I wouldn't actually call myself a buddhist, but there are many ideals from buddhism I try to apply to my life.

Celestial.Aurora · January 6th 2009, 10:29 PM

I am agnostic. While I do believe in a "Higher spirit" it is not of any description that any religion has of this higher being. But I 100% believe in spirits (Or ghosts if you want to call them that). Another reason is because there is (No offense) no proof that there is or that there is not a "God"
