Poll: What is your faith? (in terms of strength)
- Thread starter alchemize
- Start date
I believe in a creator. Who the creator is I have no clue. I don't know if it is what religion makes him/she/they out to be. I also don't know if anything happens after death.
Just live your life, believe in your faith and be respectful to your race (humans). If you die and you deserve to go to a better place then you've earned your spot. If nothing happens then it doesn't matter, but you've made a difference here.

So you voted number 4, I assume.
Thanks for insulting anyone who votes for #1 and #2. Nice tolerance there.
I believe that belief in and expression of "tin-foil theories" are not a protected right under the constitution.
I strongly believe there is a god(s)/creator/higher power and this is how I voted.
You can't argue with the guys on here, not a chance. They are too far gone and don't even want to hear it. It is best to just give your answer and move on. Just wait until Red Dawn gets here, he will voice his opinion so loudly against a God, even God will question whether he exists or not.

I voted #4 but I have respect for the First Amendment to the Constitution. (To practice a religion freely).
Just do not let your religion rule you. Let it guide you.

I wasn't insulting anyone at all. I truly do not believe in make-believe beings in space. Sorry that doesn't fit with *your* beliefs but nice of you to insult me anyway.
Such a fine Christian you are.
I vote 4.
And for "christ" sake, lets keep this one clean. All we need is another locked religion thread.....conjur, alchemize.......
SHHHH

SHHHHYou have no idea what my faith is. I've never stated on this board what religion I am/not.
Such a fine Bigot you are..
Go troll another thread.
Mulla Nasrudin fell in with a Christian, a Moslem and a Jew while traveling and they became hungry. So they pooled their scant money and bought a piece of halva. A debate arose between them as to who should have the first piece. One of the three suggested that they wait till morning with the halva and the one with the best dream derived from the greater faith would go first.
In the morning the Jew told how he had seen Moses walk from a burning bush and tell him that he was a great and holy man and to have the first bite. The Christian and the Moslem related similar tails. All eyes turned to the Mulla. In the night said the Nasrudin, I saw or dreamed nothing at all except that Kidhr, the patron Saint of the Sufis came and commanded me to eat the halva and that, of course, is what I did.

Such an ignorant person you are.
Do you think Christians believe that God is floating around in space? According to the bible, he's outside of space and time. Even a scientist must admit that it's an interesting concept to have come from people thousands of years ago who likely didn't even have a grasp on mathematics much less theoretical physics.
I don't believe in the Christian god, but to absolutely reject the idea of a creator that exists outside of our current understanding of time and space seems very close minded. Just as closed minded as those he ridicules. A true scientist would be open to any theory, and welcome the chance to prove or disprove it.
I'm ignorant because I don't believe in myths? I suppose you believe in Zeus, Apollo, etc., too, eh?

Most religious beliefs are pretty much tin-foil theories... so it would see they are protected. If you can find a distinction between believing aliens killed JFK and that there is a guy with a white beard somewhere in our outside of space, let me know...

I am somewhere between agnostic and athiest. The universe does not need a God; it simply is.
Religion is an entirely cultural invention, whereas spirituality is the human need to feel part of a greater whole; to believe that we have some purpose for existense, whether we actually do or not.

I'm agnostic so while I don't believe in a supreme being I still leave the possibility open that one could exist. Heck, for all we know, if there is a god he has ten heads, 100 arms with tentacles, and speaks Cantonese natively.
Also, if there is a god he's surely not a perfect being. By definition he cannot be so because if he were he wouldn't have been able to create us imperfect beings in the first place. Therefore, if there is a god that created us, he must be imperfect and have a flaw or flaws. Kind of ruins the entire concept of "god" for me.

No, but if someone said "I don't believe in Zeus because the idea of a 2' tall midget who lives in your left butt cheek is silly," then you could call them ignorant.
I understand and can relate to anyone who is agnostic or athiest, but not those who say stupid things like "I don't believe make-believe beings in space." That just shows ignorance and close-mindedness. It would be more effective if you could make a rational argument instead of resorting to condescending and patronizing retort. But then again, maybe that's asking too much from you..
