[size=5]DO NOT TRASH OTHER PEOPLE'S RELIGIONS.[/size]

I put this in Debate Wars because it is too sensitive for General Discussion. So, I repeat:

[size=5]DO NOT TRASH OTHER PEOPLE'S RELIGIONS.[/size]

Where's the "Other" button?

Eh, agnostic simply because too many religions have really pissed me off and I see no reason to throw my beliefs behind something I don't control. Respectively, I've seen to many atheist's be full out ass holes by trying to convert people to there empty void of nothingness. Best remove myself from the bickering and go agnostic.
Although, just to add to the confusion, I go to a catholic school. [size=1pt]I also love it there. No nuns smacking kids with rulers. Much more liberal Catholic school. Not actually tied to the local church at all. [/size]

Well, I am a Christian. It is the most historically backed up religion in the world. The Bible written over several thousand years, 40 people, and 3 continents (Europe, Asia, and Africa). They never knew each other or read their writings that make up the 66 books of the Bible, and lived in different times (hence taking those many years to finish). After it was written and gathered to put in 1 volume, we saw that it all pointed to the same God and Jesus. That's why I believe its actually is the right religion, even though all the other religions claim to be right. There are also other facts to consider as well, see this http://www.gotquestions.org/correct-religion.html
it is a very interesting page, worth reading and obviously, you can dish out any other questions about this religion that you like on that website. Hope this helps.

I'm a buddhist. You would be suprised how many people don't believe me when I say that. Its a pretty hard religion to fully understand.

Atheists can be just as violent as religious people, so I decided to be tolerant and go with agnostic. I don't have the will to actively worship a deity like God or cause (i.e. enlightenment). However, I do attend Passover and Hannukah (Passover=crazy good horseradish & matzo balls, Hannukah=more presents to supplement secular Christmas).

My religion was roman Catholic but I'm currently in some kind of void trying to figure out if it is where I really belong. I leaned towards Atheist for a short time but then ended stuck in a (figuratively speaking of course.) fork in the road and I'm still trying to make my desicion of where I want to go now. I've though about creating my own religion, but then I just decided to acknowledge my own religion's existence but ignore it and decided not to worry about it as my religion is unimportant to me on most aspects.

No offense to Christians but you sometimes get really cocky. Especially when it involves the  Creationist theory vs. Darwin's Theory of Evolution. I think its really funny to see a Creationist and a Darwinist get into such a big fight over if animals evolve or not and the Creationist dude's face gets all red because he feels like he's losing the argument. I'm not quite sure why I find that amusing but I do. Possibly because technology has advanced so rapidly these days that is intrigues me to see someone who believes in something old and backed up by information that has no valid proof but yet manages to survive. I mean no disrespect by what I just said but I think its funny how Creationist Christians can get so defensive over something as small as someone defacing their beliefs to their face. They absolutly hate it.


I know quite a few decent Christians though. I'm also best friends with an Atheist. He's not really like your typical Atheist. He doesn't talk a lot and is quiet about offending people's religions. He doesn't generally attack other people's religious beliefs directly unless they attack his first. (note that Atheism is not an actual religion but it is a religious belief.)

The types of Christians that bother me are the kinds that don't understand and refusal to accept that some people are different. They think that humanity should be perfect and all those who aren't perfect like them shouldn't have the right to exist. This kind of Hatred towards individuals, while not illegal, often causes other groups to attack them for their stupidity. (Note: I'm not referring to anyone in general.)

Note: I'm not referring to anyone in general by the last paragraph. If you ask me though that's going a bit extreme.

If more Christians actually read the Gospels (people who say they are Christians anyway), the world would be a better place. It?s unfortunate that much of what?s called Christianity nowadays is more social than religious.

That paragraph perfectly describes Christian Scientists (funny, because they are completely unscientific).  In fact one of my good friends is a christian scientist.  We often argue about religion (I'm agnostic) because my parents are doctors and he has never gone to a doctor (because of his religion, of course).  But here's the kicker:  He believes in evolution.

Actually I was referring to Discrimination. But I guess. Your friend is a Christain Scientist and he accepts Evolution? That's good. That's very good.
