Who here considers religion a major part of their life? i for one do not, but i am curious to see what the beliefs of our community are...

oh, and if there is another thread about this, then im just trying to get an up to date idea...

religion is a part of everyone's lives, it fucks everyone up, anyone who is religious rubs off their stupidity on other people and helps make the world a worse place.

I disagree with that statement, I'm religious....but I don't push it on anyone or bring it up pretty much ever unless I'm asked about it, or it plays into something I'm talking about with someone....it's just a personal thing, if it's for you then great, if it's not oh well....depends on your experiances with religion and how you approach it....just my 2 cents.

First of all, what is religious? Couldnt you label someone religious if they go to church every Sunday yet sells drugs the rest of the week, and also someone who actively pursues their faith every day? I know many people who do, and there lies the problem. It's a stereotype. I know people who will write off a person completely if they find out they are a Christian, and I know Christians who will want nothing to do with non-Christians. So Steeze Patrol, before you say something as ignorant as your response to this thread, why don't you go ahead and maybe consider taking a look at a person's character, how they behave, how they treat others before you pass judgment on them simply because they call themself 'religious'.

Personally, I am a Christian, and try to pursue my faith actively. So I suppose you could call me 'religious'

i am a fundamental bible believing christian. religion plays a big part in my life, although i do not believe that my 'religion' will get me to heaven. i dont believe I do as well in life with my Christianity as I believe I should, and i work on that to become a better christian. some people might say i'm 'religious' im not, i just have a relationship with Jesus Christ

im religious, like i go to church and stuff. and i go to a catholic school, but i pursue religion (sorta) cause i want to, not cause someones pushing it on me. and trust me people have. like my aunt who is crazy and trys to get everone she knows into jesus and all this stuff, and she just needs to lay off a bit, cause i mean once she almost got me semi interested

she sent me a book called 'what if jesus was never born'. i think thats enough said.

but religion is always good to have cause if ur feeling all alone, u know there is always someone there.

I have no beef with the church, the beef I have is the hate, prejudice, and other problems that come from one group of people or another thinking they are better than another. I know not all 'religious' people are like this, it's just that too many are. I'm not trying to piss anyone off or start a fight, it's just what I think.

I am not religious. I feel I am a perfectly good person, and I live with morals. None have come to me through relgion of any sort. I have similar morals to my roomate who is VERY religious.

Personally, I think religion in general is a scape goat for people from reality. However, it does provide great lessons and does give something to fall back on when all else fails.

Christianty is our cultures myth. Its no diffrent than the greeks stories of gods and godesses. Its simply a construction of our own minds designed to relive cultural anxieties by seting out a code of conduct and a guidline for people to follow. I am religious, i use the scriputre as guidlines for my own life because there are good messages in them. I, however also have an ungoing battle of faith. I know that it my religion is a myth, but i also know that i belive in it. Its something thats very hard to sort out in my head. I just try to live my life the best i can and help others lives be better and i think thats all that religions intend for us to do. The reason why we have wars is because of the diffrence which religion creats. Neither side of a religious argument between two religions is wrong. Both sides are right. It is a conflict that the belife systems of people cant alow to go unsloved so they fight. If we could embrace diffrence instead of fear it, the world would be a much safer place. we dont need to get rid of religion to do that, we just need to be more open to other peoples ways of life, ideas and belifes.

The western religion hasn't done much in the way of what you're talking about, it's more about treating people how you wanna be treated and have a relationship with Jesus, I mean those religions that practice violence, like in the middle east, yeah those are whack, but being a Christian, which is what I am, hasn't ever cause me or anyone I know to hurt someone else, I can't speak for anyone else but religion is a big part of my life, I attend church every sunday that I can, and play on my churches worship team, it's alot of fun, don't knock it 'till you try it, it only takes one bad time with a church to turn people off from it, but every church and person is different, so get hooked up with a good one and I promise you'll have alot of fun with the church.

What is so funny to me, is that all christains, muslims, jews, and many other religions all came from a single religion. THe onyl difference is that for each new religion that devoloped, someone (many times a rich person who had issues with the chruch) simply started a new one, or told people they were a prophet, or were called a prophet. (not a prophet, but whatever it's called)

I just find it funny.

i dont understand what people have against religion. im religious, and i dont consider myself better than anyone else. you definately have a misconstrued interpretation of religion if you think that religion gives people an ego boost or something.

you obviously think you're better than people that are religious because you're judging them. if you have a problem with religion, leave it alone. why persecute someone just because they have a different belief than you? Overall, i'd say that you are acting just like someone of a religion that is 'messing up our world'. Because religious people have a different belief than you, you claim that they are idiots and are poisoning the world.

Hypocrite.

damn this thread is stupid..it's going nowhere, just like asking someone whos Christain about the fucked up things in the bible. Such as us all being immediately related, the earth being 6,000 years old, evolution not existing, and murder being okay, believe it or not, there are like a hundred ways you could kill someone and the bible says it's okay.

and shut up g-dawg, quite acting so superior, not everyone is as smart as you think you are.

only you would^

though i do go to Episcopal High School, i am not very religious at all, as i have a very logical mind, which tells me if it cant be proven, then there is no such thing. but i do pray when i go to chapel (3 times a week imposed by the school) and i do say the lord's prayer...eh

i consider my 'religion' to be a focal point in my life.

and to add to this thread...*most* 'religion' skeptics in this thread who just bashed 'religion' without thinking twice need to go take a college or university religions course. none of you truly understand how broad that term actually is, and how much of the world you are putting down.

furthermore, i just throw your opinion away when you say 'religion' is stupid, because you actually have no idea what you are talking about. that doesnt come from personal experience, that comes from me understanding what the word 'religion' means.

I know of other people that judge people because of their religion and because they have different beliefs than them. They're called terrorists.

Is someone trying to force religion on you? No. Than what the hell did you make this thread for? Are you saying that everyone involved in a religion is an idiot because they choose to live their life a certain way?

Am I saying that you need to be a part of a religion to live with morals and be a good person? No. But I am saying that some people choose to be a part of a religion because they feel that there is more to life than just what we can see, and this gives them something to base their morals off of.

tweaks rock me 'as i have a very logical mind, which tells me if it cant be proven, then there is no such thing.' If it could be proven that there was a god, there would be no such thing. christianity isnt about proff, its about faith. The moment that its proven there is a god all the faith that people have is gone. In my mind, faith is one of the largest parts of being christian.

I'm religious, but i dont force it on anyone. I have done research on my religion and i've had hard time's believeing my religion and anyother religion that is out there. But yet i still believe in my religion. If someone askes me about my religion i will tell them about it, i dont try and force them to join or say im not goin to talk to you if your not this or that. my two best friends since i was young are athiest (spelling) and that doesnt stop us from being best friends... i guess im just trying to say that believe whatever you want and dont try to convince people to convert to what you think, let them do wha they want.

We're all chasing the dream

Uh, i never said there was, i just made this thread as a sort of census...check what your talking about before you go off...

and Apple, i guess it takes all kinds... I just don't understand the point of religion where you have faith in something that doesnt exist...eh, maybe i have over though this whole thing...

Whoa Tweaks...careful what you say...'faith in something that doesnt exist' is a pretty bold statement. You don't know that God doesnt exist, just like I don't know for sure that He does. However, my opinion is that He does, and everyone should be entitled to their own opinion on the matter. Faith is faith, believing without seeing. Like what was said before, if God could be proven, there would be no faith. I believe God gave us free will to choose whether to believe or not.

as for you Steeze Patrol:

'amn this thread is stupid..it's going nowhere, just like asking someone whos Christain about the fucked up things in the bible. Such as us all being immediately related, the earth being 6,000 years old, evolution not existing, and murder being okay, believe it or not, there are like a hundred ways you could kill someone and the bible says it's okay.'

wow.

we are not all obviously immediately related, or what happens when you interbreed would be alot more present. But technically, if you believe in evolution, we all are related, as we came from the same ancestor wayyyy back there. So you basicaly are hypocritical if you think that Adam and Eve makes us all IMMEDIATELY related, as opposed to evolution which doesnt.

For the age thing, everyone thinks this is important to prove the fossil record etc. I personally don't think it matters, at all. But i don't want to get into that, or i might be imposing what i believe on the 'strong minded' as opposed to my weak mind.

Evolution not existing, you mean evolution by natural selection i presume. And btw, MACRO evolution has been proven erroneous time and again, check Evolution, a theory in Crisis by Michael Denton; who isn't christian or even believe in a God. Micro evolution, or if you prefer when a species becomes seperate from another species due to adaptation, is proven.

murder being OK? how ignorant are you? its one of the ten commandements! thou shalt not kill! and a hundred ways? go on, name one.

i suspect that you really don't know what you are talking about. you have some kind of prejudice towards christianity and religion in general that you cannot justify, or you wouldn't have to lie about it.

you are 'religious' if you have thought about the existence of God.

That you aren't chrsitian? I respect your descision, since God himself gave us all the choice; I can't 'convert' you forcibly, nor will i even try unless you ask. its a choice. you should respect our/my choice, and not call us/me weak minded because we believe something you don't. I would say yopu need more faith to believe in evolution and the big bang then to believe what i believe.

don't post out of anger you have please. and try to be reasonable. it will help me respect your opinion in this matter.

Bhayter10- you seem to be contradicting yourself, you say first to watch what i say, then that everyone has the right to their opinion...why not mine?

and again, i have a more logical type mind...i feel that if it cant be proven, it doesnt exist.

Sorry if that came off the wrong way Tweaks...surely you're entitled to your opinion..just as I am..The difference is saying 'God exists' and 'I believe God exists', or 'God doesnt exist' and 'I don't believe that God exists'. When you say that 'God exists' or 'God doesnt exist, you are making a statement that has not been proven, and cannot be proven. I just see a fine line between saying 'this is how it is' and saying 'this is how I believe it is, but your opinion is logical' As a Christian, I don't go around saying 'God exists and you're wrong and I am going to forcefully convert you.' That I cannot do. I can simply say that in my life, the concept of God is meaningful to me. All I can do is state how it relates to my life. So once again, I apologize for making it seem like I didnt value your opinion. All I'm saying is maybe instead of saying 'I don't get the part of religion where you believe in something that doesnt exist', say 'I don't get the part of religion where you believe in something you can't see.' It bugs me just as much as a Christian who says that God exists and you're ignorant if you don't believe that. Does that make sense?

Apple there's really no need for that...I could produce all kinds of arguments and counterarguments on the existence of God. Tweaks says he has a logical mind, and so I dont doubt he's put a lot of thought into this issue, just as I have. It's very difficult to sway a person from their ways when they have lived and thought that way for a good portion of their life. There are brilliant atheist and agnostic scholars, and brilliant religious scholars, and the likelihood of one changing anothers mind is very slim. Everyone is on their own path in life, and everyone considers the existence of God. It is up to that person how much time and thought they want to put into making their decision. Which is why I choose not to be an overly preaching Christian. I try to live my daily life by the principles of my faith, and if people want to ask me about why I live that way, I will tell them. There really is no reason to have bitter arguments over the existence of God.

the whole idea of God is not logical.

that is faith.

im Jewish.

i dont follow most of the archaic customs, but i like to live ethically and treat others as i would like to be treated.

i like the idea of religions that dont ask you to participate in customs and rituals, but instead attempt to teach you morality through spirituallity.

in my opinion we have a poor and narrow view of what religion must be.
