I actually really respect this and find it very awesome. The jedi way is actually a set of morals that should be more followed nowadays. I've never thought about religion with Star Wars thrown in like that. I am intrigued.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
I chose atheist, but I'm like a spiritual atheist. I don't believe in a god, I just don't. I also find that religion and spirituality are two different things. I'm also a hippie, as well. So I don't really question whether or not Jesus existed, but I believe in his teachings. Peace, love, and acceptance. I do believe in a universe, where it's kind of like ask and you shall receive... but not EXACTLY. I also connect myself with buddhism. I was brought up as a unitarian universalist, but about 2 years ago, I started to think for myself. I also believe in friends. If you have people behind you, supporting you, you can go farther than the classical theistic god could ever be. I believe in just being a good person, which means different to different people. Oh, and I also believe in love. Love is an extremely powerful thing.
So... in a nutshell: I'm a spiritual atheist with different stuff on the side.

Please PM about this stuff, I always like having religious conversations.

I believe people should believe in whatever they want to, usually so long as it doesn't overly disrupt others' lives. But if I have to stereotype myself I'd say atheist.

I'm agnostic, leaning strongly towards atheist. I like to think that there is SOMETHING out there, but the dogmatic and stringent regulations of various faiths has turned me off to organized religion.

Atheist. I've learned that I appreciate the world more when I think about it as an anomaly, a beautifully random, spontaneous plain of existence, fragile and chaotic with the strangest natural sense of order.

I also admire theists for their devotion to something intangible; I could never, ever have that kind of blind faith.

Raised Jewish. Whole family went to paganism then evolved into what can only be called spiritually eclectic.
A spirituality more then religion

I'm a Catholic and was raised one.
I go to Church as much as I can and believe in God and Jesus.

I was born into this world Christian, however, I believe I am agnostic as I learned more about religion.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
Agnostic. I don't believe full-on Atheism is a good stance - i think it's just as illogical to claim that there *is no* God than it is to claim that there *is* a God. However, I'm interested in Shintoism and Buddhism.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
My whole entire family is Christian. But I just don't feel like I fit into that category. Well, I'm not really old enough to know what I am. But I find Wicca interesting though.

But honestly, I just love learning all aspects of different religions. It's amazing how different each one is.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
Undecided doesn't seem to quite fit me..because I'm not trying to decide.. I'm not looking for any religion or power. I don't know what I believe in, and I will not believe in anything until I have a solid proof that it is indeed real. I will not follow anything until it proves to me that it is worthwhile. I feel that there must be a Higher Power or maybe more than one.. Who knows.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
Agnostic, I believe there is a God but I'm not sure that any of the religions are completly correct and I'm not sure which God is. I also believe that when we die we become the stars in the sky and that is how our relatives look upon us.

razors_and_rosary July 12th 2011 09:45 PM

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
I'm usually an atheist, but my general belief is that we simply do not need to know. Sometimes I pray to the sky, or simply talk in my head to whoever may be listening (usually, for the sake of having a name, I address it to Michael.) I rarely pray to God or any deities.
I believe that there is more than we see, but I don't believe we need to see it either.
I voted 'Other'.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
I am agnostic.
I was raised going to a Lutheran church and I just never got into it. My view is--Maybe there's a God up there, but I obviously don't know. I just had a hard time listening to what my Sunday School teacher was saying when I had no clue if it was all true or not.

I believe in God, but I don't belong in a religion as of yet. For the sake of simplicity, I decided to call myself spiritual.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
I checked Atheist because I don't feel like there is a God. I wish I still believed that there was someone out there who could and would look after me no matter what but I just don't. It just doesn't click in my head. They say faith is a gift...
In my house the whole topic of religion is taboo though, because my mum's strongly christian and 'just wants me to find my Jesus', and my dad's a strong atheist: Awkwardness ensues, especially as my family are unable to differentiate between oppinion and fact!

I am Baptist, but I do have some Pentecostal beliefs. I am a Fundamentalist, meaning that I take the Bible literally, word for word. I also believe in "once saved, always saved". I believe in healing, speaking in tongues, and I also believe that there are angels all around us at every moment of every day.

Zen Buddhist. We stopped going to temple like last year though coz it's pretty shady now with our current reverend. We might go back to my grandma's old temple though.

But my dad's side of the family is all Lutheran and I went to Catholic school for 10 years. LOL.

I was saved and am a christian, but i feel i need proof that god is real.. does that make any sense?

I don't believe there's a God... so atheist, by definition. There might be God... but I don't think so.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
I have mixed views on religion, but I would say I'm a Christian.

I was raised in a non-Christian home since my parents aren't church people (although my dad was raised Catholic & my mom was raised Christian, baptist). I started getting rides to church with a friend in junior high & became a Christian. I believe in Christ & all that stuff like Christians do, but because I was raised in a non-Christian home, I believe things that most Christians don't agree with such as gay marriage being okay. I'm not even attending church right now, because my last church was incredibly two-faced. They said they would accept anyone, yet turned their backs on my friend when she realized she was a lesbian & they were incredibly rude to me & left me out of a lot of stuff just because I wasn't baptized & my family didn't go to church. I will probably go back to church after college is done, but definitely a different one.

Atheist. My grandma forces me to go to church and believe in god, but I think she's wrong. I let her believe in god without saying anything and she should let me not believe in him. I will never understand her.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
I do consider myself a Deist, though I don't know too much about it.

I just really, really like the clockwork theory. I had this in my head and believed it myself before I had learned about it, so somewhere in my mind, it kinda reassured my belief in it.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs
 
religion is basically a very long list of words that tell you what's right and what's wrong and it's one of the reasons there is so much free will in this world so it doesn't matter if your Christian or Muslim or whatever as long as you believe in one god, pray for him, and be the best mannered, cleanest person you can, and do you know what's ironic? it's that sometimes a non religious person might have a better chance of going to heaven (in a religious point of view) than a religious person. Hope this helps.
