wow!, 100% of the sample, (2) are christians!

[Kagemusha]

I think heretic Christian is pretty much what i am.

[Zain]

Lol, I seriously think it won't last. Would be nice if it did though.

Athiest*, though I would aslo have liked a "Godless Infidel" option.


Which, yes, is a valid answer for the question, given that it means that you have no religion.

[Zain]

Correct. Atheism is the same thing as Religion-less, which becomes a religion in itself

I'm an "everythingist". Essentially I believe that God loves variety in all things, and so loves variety in our worship of him.

Holding a belief that "your" religion is the only true religion is arrogant and impossible to prove.

However, I am not so arrogant myself as to believe that you are wrong. Instead I believe that no one can ever truly know the will and intent of the Lord. This view is reflected in all religious teachings.


One more point: I also do not believ in Original Sin. This concept has lead to guilt-based existential perspectives, a view I cannot embrace. It would be better to allow humanity to die out, then to allow one human soul to perish for all eternity in damnation for merely failing to worship in a specific way. Thus, I can never accept Christianity, but I accept the fact that it is impossible for any living man or woman to know anything for 100% certainty.


To me, faith is believing in something that you know cannot possibly be true. It takes no faith to believe in, and worship, the Lord. This is because purpose defines reality. If there is purpose in one thing, then there exists purpose in all things.

From the other thread:

Absolutely... you are taking the 'hard' agnostic position here. which is to say that you believe that god can't be proved to exist one way or t'other.

No, I have no belief about religion. By logic, it is impossible to prove that God doesn`t exist. I don`t know if it is possible to prove that he exist; I am not sure about that.

But no scientific evidence has yet been shown to me, so my stance is neutral.

ok, soft agnostic position then! sorry, i thought your first post was saying that you believed it was impossible to prove one way or the other, and so you refused to take a position on principle.

[Viking]

ok, soft agnostic position then!

Probably correct.

I don`t have any believes when it comes to religion, so agnosticism just doesn`t entirely fit my view.

If Ghandi didn't believe in God, and Jesus, yes he is in Heaven, but not because of his sin. Only because he didn't accept Jesus into his heart, but no doubt he was a good man.

Now you're making it up as you go along.

I'm SO sorry. That was a huge typo. I'm sorry, I had been typing a whole lot that day, and I was tired from working some with my dad. It should read like this...

If Ghandi didn't believe in God, and Jesus, yes he is in Hell, but not because of his sin. Only because he didn't accept Jesus into his heart, but no doubt he was a good man.

Sorry about that.
