What is your religion?

What is your religion?
I am just curios.
P.S. Sorry for sp.

I am Roman Catholic and proud

To say I'm atheist is going a bit far; something must've started that big bang, or if you suppose that's a natural process like natural selection, something must have started that.

But to say I'm a believer in concrete terms is going a whole lot further.

Moved. I'm an atheist, by the way. Secular humanism, woo!

agnostic and so on, hard to expline.

Atheist. Sartrean humanist.

Gah!, 'cause I'm agnostic. Indecision is the way forward!

Yes but atheism, agnosticism and indecision is not a religion. You just don't have one.

I view athiesm as a religion, because it is the belief that no deity exists. Agnosticism is merely indecision on the subject, but with a fancy name.

Im Orthodox as the 99.9% of my country. But to tell the truth i have many objections against churches(any kind). I believe in god though. I cant see anything wrong cause even if Jesus never existed as God-man there is nothing bad in his practices and his words.
You know i ve been always wished for an andisputted archeological discovery of a book with the real words of jesus at the time cause im suspecting that many things had been paraphrasised or altered through the ages. For example the position of women in church or afterlife issues.

Well I'm a pagan cultist wannabe. ~;)

Studying atheism though.

A dieist, perhaps? I.e., the belief that a God created the universe, but does not affect the universe any longer, as if he were retired and disinterested.

It's too bad so many here are atheists. ~:(

As for me, I'm Catholic and proud of it!

Crazed Rabbit

Atheist. Social Darwinist... with a heart of gold! LOL! ~D

There are Jews in the world, there are Buddists,
There are Hindus and Mormons and then
There are those that follow Mohammad, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six footer,
You don't have to have a great brain,
You don't have to have any clothes on,
You're a Catholic the moment Dad came

I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself after seeing the Catholics. I have to admit, though, that I used to be a Catholic, and was since before I was born...

Looks like I am the only Buddhist here ~D

I'm just anti whoever happens to be speaking.

Although Douglas Adams had quite a good view on this. Something along the lines of "if you can prove it like you'd have to prove something scientifically, it's valid. If not, there is no reason I should respect your views just because you think I should".

I made my own little religion. Basically i believe in a god (a magic Coyote who lives in the Sun) who controls our fates, but didn't create the Universe. The Big Bang created the Universe. It's basically Science mixed with my personal form of stupidity.

I follow my own Spiritualist religion ~:)

i'm an atheist.. i worship Atheos, the Brilliant Tuvan God of the Seltzers.

edit: wow, the children of Atheos are proud and numerous on these forums i see..

Presbyterian
But I'm not that religious I see too many gaps so i sort of add Science into it. Works for me.

I am Roman Catholic and proud
As for me, I'm Catholic and proud of it!
Oh dear , you two seem to be guilty of the first and most grevious of the seven deadly sins , now run along to confession quickly to recieve absolution ~;)

Christian (evangelical protestant)

~:joker:

I'll find out when I die, so I won't bother with it 'til then.

I was raised a Unitarian. I still consider myself one, though as an adult I haven't found another congregation I want to join.

Agnostic here.

I that an "other", "atheist" or "Gah" vote?

Gah, that's what I put, although I am still undecided, caus it could be other

I would love to believe in god, but he didn't shape me that big ~D

Miles Davis

You, sir, have good taste ~;)

I would have to say that I am religiously Atheistic!

Quite enthusiastic about it at least anyway.

Christian - Church of England

Catholic, and I'm glad I am.
Seriously, who the heck voted "pagan"? And who do you worship? Jupiter (Roman)? The Blue Sky (Mongol)?

Nowadays, when someone says they're a pagan, they really mean "new age hippie".

Pagan - BP?

No other muslims voted besides me?

I remember about 1 or 2 others that were here in the backroom, can't recall their names though.

what exactly does this mean? wich pagan cult from the numerous?

It's a joke. No one can be pagan, if they claim so they are not trully pagan, because all pagan religions of Europe have been wiped out.

I just love the mythology and all that so much that I like to label myself pagan wannabe. I don't believe in god at all though.

Asatru has been reconstructed enough to be a considered a religion, but you're right, it is no longer truly pagan.

Hmm...

You guys keep spelling Buddhism wrong.

There's an h between d and i, you see.

So it's Buddhism and not Buddism.

~;p

By the way, I worship...myself, as a demi-god in service of... ... ...Master Yoda. Does that count?

Tim Tams.

They are formed in a holy trinity of chocolate biscuits bonded by chocolate cream and immersed in chocolate.

Tim Tams have gone through the reformation and as such other versions of the orthodox faith can be found. Dark, White, Tia Maria, Chilli and many more versions are found that have the physcial form redefined so that the worshippers can have an interface that they can more easily digest.

That would be an intraface, then. :book:

Sorry for this, but: what is 'pagan'? I'm sure to know what it means if it was in Dutch, but I don't know much difficult words in English.

My religion is the closest to the christian regligion. I didn't want to vote other, cause I think that mostly means having a total other belief(for instance with many gods, while I only believe in one. ~:))

Heiden is probably the best translation, it refers the (mostly polytheistic) religions before the 'big' religions came along.

Personally I'm a Jedi !

Then that is the same as 'other' isn't it?

Why isn't judism in there also? I mean, there are much jews, so they shouldn't be just part of other. ~:confused:

Agnostic!! But still member of the (Evangelic Lutherian) Church of Norway...or what's it called in english.

Agnostic too

A member of the one True Catholic Church. I have dedicated my life to the slaughter of the enemies of Mother Rome, who are all destined to be burned in Hell forever. :devilish:
I am part Roman Catholic, part Anglican and I generally think that all Christian religions put aside their differences to help fight their main enemy, atheism.

Roman Catholic.... I went to Catholic school from K-8 and I have the scars to show it. The nuns would beat the pulp out of us. Somehow, I am still Catholic after all that abuse.

Yes! Let's get Ratzinger's replacement and join the Inquisition. Burn the infidels.

As far as i know pagan derives from the roman word paganus=villager=countryside inhabitant.
When Roman empire converted to christianity the villagers being more isolated and conservative retained the old gods pantheon. There had to be many efforts to enforce the new relligion. So later the word pagan meant the worshiper of old belief and finally was interpreted by medieval priests as the worshier of satan (since according to them all old gods were satans pals ~;) )

Wow alot of Christians in here.. i wonder why the God poll went so awry. :inquisitive:

Etymology aside, it refers to the original religion that a culture develops as an expression and reiteration, if you will, of the beliefs and norms of that culture. German paganism involves Thor, Odin and Balder, for example.

Yup, strictly speaking, atheists like myself should not even vote. We don't really have a religion.

Sounds like you are only scratching the surface of Shinto ~D

I go to any thread that mentions religion. I like lively debate!

Anyway I think there are more christians due to either scaring away some Atheists and the fact that Agnostics probably voted no on the God poll.

BTW this whole Inquisition thing is getting a bit worrisome, I think we Atheists need our own country with which to protect Atheists around the globe.

Well, the pollster did make the answer I am atheist, which seems to acknowledge that it's not a religion.

I think the reason for the disparity between the two polls is that they generate different responses from agnostics.

Sometimes I tell myself not to scratch so hard, that it only makes it worse. A little lotion helps.

Well BP we don't exaclty dissappear, lots of little critters have a field day eating us or we donate ourselves to medicine first. Then we are usually allowed to decay, though a few people are frozen, mummified, preserved in a plastic like substance or the like.

-
Most of us are gonna be put to decompose whilst in time our bodies will become part of ecosystems and we will indeed disapear. We will disapear even more when the sun implodes and destroys the Earth as well.

Also if you consider that all cells renew themselves from the time we are born with animals and plants we eat, no one ever existed to begin with. ~:eek:

So I guess what I'm getting at is that it would be great if the Christians were right and I WAS going to hell when i die. That would be sooooo great. What a relief. Sadly though I highly doubt that would ever hapen.

Actually the sun will expand until it swallows the earth.

Not such a bad thing to become part of a 3rd generation star.

Actually you donate your body to science and you end up as a med students cadaver. Then maybe as a decom experiment in a field.

That stuff is all imaginery. At least it's existence and meaning though, it would prove god exists, which is highly unlikely.
-

You said 'If the Christians are right'. If they are, then that stuff isn't imaginary.

Wow lot's of atheists here ~:confused:
Didn't expect this from westerners.

Where do you expect atheists?

Believe in God = No, therefore Atheist.

Believe in Human Rights = Yes, therefore possibly Humanist.

Maybe in former republics of the USSR , because atheism was a religion.
