what religion are you?

[bigsam]

just thought this would be interesting to see what all religions we have on the brotherhood. I'm baptist.

[bdad]

Church of Christ

[sick cunt]

none.... I believe religion is for those who cant handle the truth that this is it. when we are dead were dead and there is no after life.
and I was schooled in a Christian school

[bdad]

I can handle the truth homie, but thanks for your smartass comments.

[darklord]

i say believe what you wanna yolo

[darklord]

i believe there is a god but not the one people think he is

Agreed, thanks for clearing that up bro.

[animal87]

I'm Christian. I know there has to be someone looking out for us, I've survived things that aren't physically possible according to science.

[rmkicks]

Christian here too brothers!

[donwan]

your entitled to your opinion bro but have some consideration for the ones who do have religious beliefs

[sick cunt]

no worries.....just exercising what I thought this forum was about. sharing views and opinions wether popular or not

[IronTex]

Episcopalian here. I like my church, the congregation is made up of good people.

[Joseph]

Science is what I believe in.

[gator-mclusky]

Argueing over Religion is stupid.

Im Christian. I believe. I couldnt imagine living thinking this ws it and afterwards there is no afterlife. If we are here alive now, we can certainly be alive on a different plane of existence.

But back to the topic about what Religion are we....Christian. I have been part of Miracles before.

[FrankTheTank]

I'm an atheist, I believe that miracles are just merely accidents that happened to work out in our best interest. I myself have been in extreme situations that I came out of ok and I don't think there was any magic involved, just luck. I don't judge others or push my non believe on others in any way. I was actually hesitate to share my opinion here.

The weird part is, I used to be a Christian, and I wanted to be a better one so I decided to read the bible (well audio book it...lol) so for like a week I listened to the bible word for word from front to back. And that is when I thought to myself "What bullshit!" and lead me to research more and the more I looked for answers the more clear it came to me.

Again this is my personal feelings, not an argument or a debate in anyway. But I am always open to talk about it. And by the way if I had to choose a "religion" it would be Buddhism. There is a religion that really teaches love. If you've never looked at it, check it out.

[dc_812000]

I am Christian - a red letter Christian. I only follow the parts of the bible written in red letters. Jesus' words only. I don't care too much for organized religion. It is good for some people but it isn't my thing.

[AMSTAR]

There is a lot of scientific evidence available to prove there is life after death, similar experinces have been documented by people who have absoloutley no connection. Our science is very limited when it comes to understanding the mind and soul, I believe in life after death due to personal experinces and studie I have read by Jim B Tucker MD.

Not into Christian Science but really like this last line. It's bout how I feel

[studmuffin]

I am Christian! I have been numerous religions,but if you belief in Christ,God,Holy Spirit and The Word,then thats all it takes to be a Christian church. Right now I am going to a Methodist church and love it.The people are great and most are non judgemental.I am not a righteous man and I go to church to help keep me in line. Matter of fact I am a pretty good sinner I have many years of experience.I would not judge others for their beliefs or unbeliefs,we are all equal.I am very open minded towards others and their experiences in life,it keeps me in balance and open to others thoughts and beliefs.

[soopafli]

I believe In the one God ... I was raised Christian and I believe in Jesus Christmas the Messiah .. now I go to catholic mass with my wife .. I enjoy going with her it feels good and I don't pressure her to go to what I call regular church lol because she's very devout and there's only one God anyway ..

[Clark Kent]

I believe in being a good person and in love and Karma! I think there is definitely a higher power or "GOD" but I dont think any one religion is right or wrong. God is what we believe him to be in our hearts and mind. I dont always believe what I read if you know what I mean. Im kind of a science guy with a spiritual side if that makes any sense. This is a very risky thread bro but interesting none the less!

[trapsquatch]

Jesus Christ is who I put my trust into without a shadow of a doubt....I used to believe in nothing but chaos....coming to believe was not something I ever seen coming....I was saved by Jesus and that's no lie and I have seen miracles since hen that have saved my daughters life amongst other things thank you....

Atheists believe their is no God
Agnostics believe it is impossible to prove either one
Possiblians believe it is possible to prove either one, just not yet

Of course all four of these are belief systems, not fact systems....you just have find what feels best for you

[Tazzzz]

Christian. I work in a Christian rehab for men. We work on the belief that any "life dominating sin" weather its drugs, alcohol, gambeling, porn, .......... its all "treatable" through scripture. And, yes, we use psychology to unravel the psyhological damage done in most peoples lives to help them better understand what drives them towards their sin of choice and then try to help them rebuild their lives based on the truths in scripture---the greatest being the love of Christ that forgives EVERY sin. Christian. (-: FYI---I'm better than I've every been---but I'm still a piece of work.

[3bagsfull]

Allahu Akbar!!!

[preacher]

Tazzzz that's awesome bro,I also work in Christian recovery center for men, an addict myself for 22 years before coming to Christ, and now to be used by Him to reach other men like myself is amazing..all His glory..I'm also a work in progress with a long way to go, but getting better every day, wouldn't trade these days for nothing!

[Tazzzz]

It is awsome Preacher. All the crap we went through qualifies us in a unique way to speak to those who suffer. I put several years of counseling education in as well to be better from a counseling perspective. Sadly, we will never be out of work. Stay the course--and stay in the gym!! 25 years addicted--15 years clean!

[Blergs]

none.... I believe religion is for those who cant handle the truth that this is it. when we are dead were dead and there is no after life.
and I was schooled in a Christian school

I believe 99% of bible BS... but energies and consciousness surpasses the body, energy doesnt just dissipate. I have seen enough crazy stuff to know there is other "frequencies" to our reality..

[Blergs]

I have my own spirituality without needed guidance of people that think god told them this and that, but If I had to pick a main stream religion i guess I would say Buddhism .
God is real. but the word "God" is just a label to an energy force that many have a very primitive view of IMO

I was brought up roman catholic BTW...

[jinko]

I'm a Kwanzacian.

[Mfire]

Grew up United Penticostal, very strict life. I still believe 100% thT there is a god and one day I will stand before him and answer for my life, he and I had a difference in opinion over a fiancé that was killed in a car accident when I was out to sea. I don't attend church anymore, but I know that there is a hole in my life that nothing else can fill. I don't know if I will ever go back.

[FrankTheTank]

I'm an atheist... Just out of curiosity, not to stir up a heated debate or anything, just talking... Why do you guys give so much credit to "God" for turning your life around? You deserve the credit! Just because you "heard a voice in your head" doesn't mean it was a higher power. It was you!

Either way I'm glad you guys turned things around and are helping others but give yourselves more credit...

I like the message of Buddhism!

I have a real hard time with the whole "worship me or you'll suffer for eternity" thing! Buddhism teaches more about being a good person because it's the right thing to do not because there is a reward in it.

[Dunstone]

Catholic here brothers, but like Joseph's view..

[FrankTheTank]

Have you guys studied the different religions and then go with the one that seemed to make the most sense to you or do you just follow what your parents brought you up with?

[preacher]

Frank I'm glad you asked bro,I welcome the opportunity to share my faith..the reason I give Him all the glory, Id been in and out of rehabs for many years working on my addiction, it wasn't until I came to understand and believe that Christ died on the cross for my sins, not only for my sins but for many other provisions such as healing..when I received Him into my life I wasnt looking for freedom of addiction,I was looking for life..being an addict,I was looking and trying to fill a void in my life that I believe only God can fill and did..that's where my freedom and healing from addiction came, I'm no longer searching to fill that void,Christ filled it with peace, contentment, joy and I actually know how to love now..hope that made sense..I don't ever hear voices, it's always what I feel in my heart, and I've learned to associate that with God..and no I've never studied any other religion just because I know and believe my God to be the one true God...and bro there's no other reward like life, true life, then eternity with Him...there's so much more to it than that..The love of Christ for us all is very deep and broad...again, hope it made alil sense, hard typing allot on tapatalk

[FrankTheTank]

I understand what you're saying and respect it completely. I guess I see the god of the bible as a jealous, angry, threatening, murdering, I could go on and on about the actions of this god prove to be anything but loving.

But, one of my favorite sayings is "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." I think alot of religious people create their own perception of him and make him into something he really isn't (loving) But again that's just my thought. I respect everybody's beliefs, I'm just sharing my thinking on it.

[preacher]

I completely understand and respect your thoughts on it..Cool thing is, we can agree to disagree and still have the utmost respect for each other..that saying could not be any more true,I like that..

[zenstyle]

Frank...have you read the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu....the Stephen Mitchell version? If so, thoughts?

[studmuffin]

I am Methodist and a firm believer in God, Jesus and the Holy spirit. I am by far a saint! I see a lot of good in the church and out of the church but I was givin the most important thing in my life through church, my wife. I have had some experiences that have givin 100% faith in God. I have worked in 2 churches as building manager and have seen things that to me are super natural. I do not judge and I like to hear others beliefs and experiences I feel if you are not open minded that you will miss out on something. I get to lead a bible study that I attend on Wed morning and I am uncomfortable doing it. I am the youngest in the group and these guys are bible theologians and I am just learning. But if I pray about it just before we meet I know things will go well.

[zenstyle]

I was one of those people who knocked on your door different days during the week...especially on saturdays. It was a very high control type group. I've experienced things growing up in that religion that made me question the belief i was raised with [having to endure child sex abuse by certain elders in my congregation, disfellowshipping people for stupid things, ostracizing of family members (choosing belief over blood)]. All this from people saying they have the one true religion etc, etc. After awhile, you find out that most religions say the same exact thing, god is directing them by holy spirit...stuff like that. I guess I would say that how you view god and religion has a lot to do with how you experienced it. Some have bad experiences and others have good. Some were converted and some were born-in. Others feel deep inside that none of it makes sense but you live that life to keep family ties or its tradition. Perhaps when it comes right down to it, faith (belief) is simply a choice. I choose to believe in myself...but i can no longer choose to believe in a god without proof. Maybe one day their will be some proof that will change the way I feel...who knows. In the meantime, I am here and now...and I love it. Being a POSSIBILIAN is pretty much a good title that describes me, or more to the laymen...a taoist. Not the religious taoism, but the philisophical kind. It works for me.

[studmuffin]

I am glad we all have something in us that feels right and empowering ourselves to believe in things that give us happiness and comfort.

[animal87]

I have my own belifs and everyone should be able to have theirs. The only one I cant support is islam, I'm sorry I can't justify worshiping a child molester.

[Discobiky]

My thinking of our understanding of the universe is very similar to the german shepherd i once loved and his understanding of the world around him meaning we arent even close we havnt got the capacity to understand it all so yes maybe oneday with science we might be able to make ourselves smarter even then i doubt we will get close that probably sounds like a weird perception to have but i see the planet we live in and all the magnifcent creatures we share it with we then put ourselves on a pedastool thinking we are so superior when we are just the same as all the other millions of creatures staring up at the stars thinking theirs is the only existence

Sry that maybe off the topic of what religion i beleive in but then again its my belief

[deathstar]

I see this starting alot of drama... I've noticed that people that don't believe in God try bashing everyone else's beliefs

[Hatefactory]

I think so far everyone has been very respectful of one another's belief system.

That's what's great about the BOP. A lot of strong minds but none are intrusive of others beliefs

[Thirsty]

I think so far everyone has been very respectful of one another's belief system.

That's what's great about the BOP. A lot of strong minds but none are intrusive of others beliefs

Agreed. Really great group of guys, much respect and understanding in this thread, one that would go completely off the rails on every other board out there.

I was raised Lutheran in the small town I grew up in, was really forced into it by my very religiously enthusiastic parents. As any headstrong teenage boy does, I resented being pressured into believing something. I figured my parents were controlling everything else in my life, the one thing they couldn't force was what I thought and believed. Exploring other religion was one of the many new things I ventured into going to college in "the big city" One of the things that struck me was the commonality among religions, very similar core concepts, and guidance as to what is good and bad. Most even share the same stories, the great flood for example, shows up in one way or another in almost all religious texts. I think religion has been grossly misused over the centuries, as a control mechanism, as a reason for war, and for personal gain.

My current "religion" is a grab bag from life experience as much as getting to know the beliefs of others. Aspects of Hindu, Buddhism, Christianity, and Atheism all carry equal weight and importance to me. I don't think there is such thing as a religion, person, or experience than you cannot learn from, and come away a better person.

[preacher]

I think HT and Thirsty hit it right on, it's the tremendous respect that we hold for each other that sets bop apart..this thread proves that, we've shared, discussed, agreed and disagreed but never debated or bashed..this is why it is a brotherhood..

[preacher]

Meant HF, sorry bro

[Hatefactory]

Meant HF, sorry bro

Haha it's all good bro.

[Blergs]

I see this starting alot of drama... I've noticed that people that don't believe in God try bashing everyone else's beliefs

I believe in god, but i believe religion in most cases has caused more harm than good.. they are no words of god, but words of man for what they feel god told them.. Jesus's REAL words and teachings are NOT like how its in the catholic bible for example... and prayer was meditation, didnt need to be in a church or all that other crap they added after his death and deboucherized his teachings.. god I believe in.. an eternal energy.... not someone judging us or playing peppiter though..
I belive there is truth in many religions... they were "early bloomers" like the buddha... more and more will come to this level... I fear no god.. I am good because that should come from the heart, not worry.
I could go on and on so ill stop lol..
ps. my whole family is roman catholic... i just feel sick knowing how distorted the "broken telephone wire" type of info is now... but I am happy it helps some. my understanding of god and life seems to be much deeper and complex then mot everyone I talk to. but I can agree there is more than meets the eye. I have seen things and felt things. door swing open with no open windows as reason. cat go all crazy as i sense something, when I was around 10 I felt an adult size hand grasp my right shoulder tightly and when i looked and saw nothing.. I freaked out and started crying, parents ran upstairs all worried... they got a priest to bless the house soon after.. i can go on and on here as well : )

Share love, not hate : ) <3

I'm a Christian and raised in a Baptist church, I don't go to church regularly at all, but I still hold strong to certain beliefs that I developed over the years. Denomination in my opinion isn't important, it's what you believe in and stand for is what matters.

[preacher]

Denomination was worst thing that ever happen to the church, it brought seperation and division..It ain't about denomination or religion, it's about relationship with Christ..my opinion of course..

We saw a movie last week called The Remaining and it was really good. It is a new release and has some graphics in it. The movie really makes you think and I can see it scaring some people. It is about the rapture and tribulations that come after. It will increase your faith and make you think about people that go to church or do good deeds and do not make it to the rapture. And as it says in Revelations those left behind will have another chance to put there trust in God, Christ, Holy Spirit and all that he stands for.

[Blergs]

I am my own. there is some truth in many religion. but I guess if i had to pick one main stream religion id say Buddhist.

Amen. Come on somebody. The reason is BC u find in 2/thess I believe or 1st one of the two when Christ comes back the holy spirit's goes back up. There will be no more holy spirit in earth during the trib etc I believe BC in what is says. Now I do t beleive in pre trib BC.if the Greek manuscripts. And matt 24. The trib will separate the wheat from the tares amen which I beleive could start in us between sept and Dec or at least a prep for it. FEMA camps here we come. Revival amen. Jesus said be hot or cold but if your Luke warm I will spit u out of my mouth. Always be ready. Key prophecy whe. Israel becomes a nation that generation shall not pass to see the coming of Christ. Yes Jesus said u will not no the day or hour but he did say you will know the season of my return just as the fig tree. It's the season men be ready!!!

If u live by the word u must die to the word of God.

Many people believe in being a Christian BC they want to go to heaven they missed the mark. The purpose of being a Christian isnt for what God can give us etc but so we can pull heaven down to earth and show the world heaven through us. Christ in us the hope of glory. Glory in the Greek in that scripture mean a mere manifestion of gods image through us. Let's show the world the glory of God and .

I would say Christian at this point in my life and have been for they last almost 10 years, but I still hold onto many past practices of Buddhism, QBL, Setian antinomianism, and LHP.

In the end I am a pragmatist, I practice what works for me and those for whom I am responsible

[worldgame]

I wouldnt say agnostic, i honestly just dont care, completely indifferent about it all

[2stones]

I believe in the God who has sent his only begotten Son.

[EasyStreet]

It seems to me that religion is primarily a way to cope with the concept of inevitable death.

I've never been a religious guy, and I figure that what happens after death only matters when you are dead, but when you are dead and it does start to matter there's nothing you can do about it. It's very shallow, I know, but I can't get past it.

If there's a following pertaining to hedonism I suppose I'd fit in there but I'm too much of a narcissistic hipster to allow myself to fit in.

[biker84]

I was brought up Baptist. But these days, I would have to classify myself as a non believer. I do believe religion is man's greatest strength and also his greatest weakness. Many have done some amazing things in the name of God. On the other hand some of the worse things that have ever happened to be in the name of God as well. So I have very mixed feelings lol. But I respect all religions or lack thereof.

Its simple man. Weather its a religion, a guide, or an instructions for use of your fkn dish washer... Scripture can be misinterpreted. It can be twisted, taken out of context to suit those who have a dark heart to begin with, but are also weak. So they need something to back them up, and justify their actions. Unfortunately sometimes a whole shit ton of idiots fall for this line of thought.. just because someone does something in the name of god, doesn't mean it's what God wished for his followers to do

That's a valid point, and I would have to agree with you. I shouldn't blame religion for the evil hearted.

It all started with Ishmael and Isaac Muslims came through the descendant of Ishmael we came through the descendant of Isaac we both pray to the same father above and God judges your heart that's in the Bible and the Quran I don't agree with a lot of Christians it say Muslims are going to hell just like a lot of Muslims say Christians are going to hell God judges your heart God knows why I do what I do and God knows why Muslims do what they do and many Muslims are great people have quite a few friends that are Muslims love the same principles in the Quran and The Holy Bible

What religion am I? The one that's self righteous, judgemental, hypocritical, pride filled, and speaks of love while being filled with hate. Oh wait, that's all religions... Oh wait, those are all sins. All kidding aside, Jesus was a really solid dude. No one has been more misunderstood. No ones words have ever been taken so out of context. He tried to teach humans simple moral lessons and they nailed him to a tree because of it. I guess the lesson is be careful what you say to humans, they're more than likely to take things the wrong way or flat out have no clue what you're talking about. This makes them angry (not being smart enough to have understanding) and can lead to violence as most haven't evolved past animal like behavior. Hope that wasn't too blasphemous. As you can see, I must be a pretty religious person in that my statement is pretty self righteous, judgemental, hypocritical and pride filled;).

Always been, well a non believer I guess, or more like a 'don't really care either way' sort of guy. My experience with most religious people is either they don't even take it remotely serious (they might as well be aethiests) or they take it so seriously I can't even have a normal conversation with them because their logic is completely backwards.

just go do what you normally buy time it down a bit.
dont eat like a pig at eat time , just keep light snack all night.
save your big meal for pre dawn.
drink as much as you can , even though that is a bit hard.
dont be tempted by all the good shit everyone else is eating.
but wait and watch people's faces and lack of energy after eating , and witness the food comas, you'll be glad you took it easy.
your mostly gonna lose water , not muscle .
i don't fast for about 5 or 6 years now cause of medical issues.

Train hard , work hard, love hard, live freeThis is an awesome spiritual philosophy! As you laid it out in your post... the politics of church can be disheartening, to me it doesn't make sense that a church would kick out the father of the daughter that gets pregnant. In that situation the church should help that family and support them.

I’d had to say right now that I’m agnostic

I like the agnostic approach. I’ve always said that if we are finite and imperfect, it’s beyond our beings to even fathom what infinity and perfection truly is. Sure we have an idea because for life there every action has an equal an opposition reaction (finite/infinite, imperfect/perfect, not knowing everything/omniscient). And also energy is not created or destroyed meaning we come from an infinite, everlasting power source (whatever that may be). In philosophy it’s said that nothing can come from no-thing. Therefore something always has to come from something or else it wouldn’t exist even in the thought form. So I always use the analogy it’s like I’m the first computer ever made trying to crack the matrix code, it’s impossible because I just don’t have the tools or capabilities to do that.

Also I do believe there is more then one way to reaching Heaven, enlightenment, nirvana or moksha. Whatever you want to call I think you can get there by several different routes. Hence not one viewpoint is necessarily right or wrong, it’s just a different route to get somewhere.

Anyways enough ranting, just wanted to give my two cents. Maybe invoke some food for thought

Yeah. I’d say all of the things you are mentioning are evidence of a creator. Now what type of creator we have is another discussion. But I agree with the point that it’s hard to imagine what something that is all knowing would even look like. Especially since we don’t even know what we don’t know

I was raised Southern Baptist/Methodist. As I got older, I started noticing how the richer families would “guide” the Church. Seeing how people would lie, cheat, steal, and be so fake. But everything would be good on Sunday because they would all be forgiven. Then they’d start all over again. As a firefighter/medic for over 20 yrs, I’ve seen too much tragedies. Drunk parents walking around what happened when their toddler is dead on the ground or floorboard because they weren’t put in a car seat. My Mother is a devout Christian and tells me everyday that she prays for me. I see too many hypocrites in religion. I live my life and I don’t push my beliefs on others. I believe that everyone deserves to believe in their god. Here lately, I wanted to go to a Buddhist temple to learn that religion. Lol. I’m trying anything to help me with my inner demons. I have too much hate. I’ve been betrayed by many and I don’t trust anyone. Well that’s prob more than what I was suppose to answer

I put my faith in God but none in any human. I have been the only person holding the hand of people I loved as they died. Their is a higher power and anyone who denies it is retarded.

0+0 does not equal everything. "0" in and of itself, cannot exist. Atheists that think they are too intelligent to believe in a higher power are missing the purest sense of the equation.

Look up Christopher Langan on youtube. Then read his writings on the cognitive theory of the model universe. He literally lays out the absence of a higher power being mathematically impossible.

The smartest man alive is trying to lay out the presence of God.

Btw, I was raised southern baptist in a church in which we all were related (family). Gonna have another beer at their disgrace.

I'm late to the party, but I'm catholic I guess. Do I go to church on a regular basis no. I pray every morning and every nite though. And I do believe that there is a God, after sitting with my dad and watching him go with a smile on his face, I have no doubt there is someone up there.

[I'm all in]

I don't think I am too intelligent to believe in a higher power. I just think that I am too intelligent to believe in a man made farce designed to make them feel better.
I am also smart enough to admit that there is probably life in other parts of the universe as well. Christians do not believe that there is life anywhere in our universe except earth and God.
I also don't believe that we have a spirit inside of us that lives beyond our physical form. We simply have a highly developed frontal lobes and developed brains which make us self aware of our place on earth and our mortality.

I hear ya.
It's the anomalies though. Every animal "evolves" via physical characteristics except humans though.
I just want an explanation from science that explains how everything came from... "0"

Even empty space is something. The fact is "zero" in and of itself cannot exist. I won't be so hypocrytical to call it a God in particular. What I mean is, as Chris Langan would say, "The Universe in and of itself is an all knowing, all seeing, self aware, entity."

We aren't accidental. We are the result of a perfect premeditated mathematical equation. Science disspells it and says that it just hasn't gotten to the answers yet, but mathematics do not allow any other way.

Not getting down on you or anyone else. What do I know? I am just another piece of carbon and water same as any. Just giving my little penny. My penny says there is a God and an established order we are not capable of understanding.

Not saying there isn't aliens. My grandfather believes in alien possibilities yet is a die hard christian.

As vast as the universe is, it would de stupid to say that there is no way that life can exist without a creator. The universe is so large that the chances of zero life existing is literally zero. There is bound to be life in the universe, no matter how small the probability is. We just happen to live on the planet where that happened.

As for religions like Christianity and such well I just can't believe a book based on ancient religions .. like what did y'all get it wrong so you fixed it then suddenly this the truth... Yeah easier to just believe something is out there .


Also as for the commandments and such and whatever else it is usually based on righteous human morals so there is something to that like we are meant to follow them . Again in my opinion.

I'm an atheist, I believe that miracles are just merely accidents that happened to work out in our best interest. I myself have been in extreme situations that I came out of ok and I don't think there was any magic involved, just luck. I don't judge others or push my non believe on others in any way. I was actually hesitate to share my opinion here.

The weird part is, I used to be a Christian, and I wanted to be a better one so I decided to read the bible (well audio book it...lol) so for like a week I listened to the bible word for word from front to back. And that is when I thought to myself "What bullshit!" and lead me to research more and the more I looked for answers the more clear it came to me.

Again this is my personal feelings, not an argument or a debate in anyway. But I am always open to talk about it. And by the way if I had to choose a "religion" it would be Buddhism. There is a religion that really teaches love. If you've never looked at it, check it out.

Religion is to quickly demonized because of history and bad apples, but any generalization of people is demonized in some way. The core values are nothing to scoff at. Values perpetuated by nearly all mainstream religion are what holds civilization together. A religion that preaches forgiveness is far from negative.

[smash]

I don't have a religion or a faith. I do not insist that God does not exist because I think it is the same as insisting that God does exist. If someone bashes me to adopt their religious beliefs then I am going to resist and point out that I only advocate looking at evidence. But if there is a prayer group at the hospital that come to the bedside of the sick I won't give them a lesson on epistemology.

As an aside, there is a group sort of pejoratively referred to as 'the new atheists' who have taken to forcefully advocating atheism. When you look more closely, they do advocate a kind of religion, namely that of a State religion. They tend to defend whatever the State is up to. That seems to be a lot more dangerous since it is the State that overwhelmingly exercises power.

I'm an atheist, I believe that miracles are just merely accidents that happened to work out in our best interest. I myself have been in extreme situations that I came out of ok and I don't think there was any magic involved, just luck. I don't judge others or push my non believe on others in any way. I was actually hesitate to share my opinion here.

The weird part is, I used to be a Christian, and I wanted to be a better one so I decided to read the bible (well audio book it...lol) so for like a week I listened to the bible word for word from front to back. And that is when I thought to myself "What bullshit!" and lead me to research more and the more I looked for answers the more clear it came to me.

Again this is my personal feelings, not an argument or a debate in anyway. But I am always open to talk about it. And by the way if I had to choose a "religion" it would be Buddhism. There is a religion that really teaches love. If you've never looked at it, check it out.I was christian, sadly i feel this religion births atheism since its untrue and tricks desperate people. After years of studying I am a Noahide. Maybe check it out.

I was raised a Seventh Day Waterskiist but I was struck down by a blinding light on the road to Cypress Gardens and converted to Frisbeetarianism (https://www.facebook.com/The-Church-Of-Frisbeetarianism-314092793627/). Now I believe when you die, your soul flies up and gets stuck on the roof.

Christian. With a lot of faith. Would like to keep this thread going and also ask if it is fine with OP if people can give examples of their fair being proven true, like real life experiences that they believe are associated with their religious preference. Acts they deemed divine!

The only blasphemy that will not be forgiven is blaspheming against the holy spirit and in southern baptist denomination's beliefs that is to die having not been washed in the blood of the lamb.

Every page of every thread on the forum has some sort of debauchery and all sin is equal in the eyes of God...

In accordance with southern baptist theology, no smart ass intended. I am southern baptist by birth.

Divine acts...

Woke up on a giant ball traveling 19 miles per second at an aveage suface temp of 72°f. Ate a bananna while cracking chicken embryos onto a thermally conductive "pan". I then added salt so that my tasre buds would appreciate the miracle more.

I could go on for days but science would say it is coincidental and that 0+0= UNIVERSE....

As far as Atheism and Agnostics here is my take and its mainly an argument of semantics.

Agnostics believe that nothing is known or can be known of anything beyond the nature of material phenomena. They claim simply ignorance. They dont believe or not believe.

Atheism however claims God "doesnt" exist.

Agnostics make no knowledgeable claim.

However to claim God doesn't exist, an assumption has to made about "a God" and for anything to not exist now it had o have existed before or you atleast you believed in some context of it. Or else not believing in it now would be pointless. How can someone violently object to something or someone that never existed? Seems odd to me.

If someone ask you about a child you never had, you wouldn't say that child is dead, or he doesnt exist, you'd simply say, "what are you talking about"?

Once I moved out on my own I attended the church of christ. I tended to believe at the time that there were many who thought they were saved but were not.

I would wager we think a lot alike on many many things.

Its math.
Chris langan pretty much solved this.
0+0 cannot make everything and zero in and of itself cannot exist. Check out langan ant the conitive theory of the model universe (CTMU).

This is why in our daily endeavors, be this that or something else, we talk a little, listen more and do our due diligence. There are false teachers, and full of shit people giving advice and wrong info.

Plain a d simple.

John 10:29
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

27-30 gives a broader picture.

But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

Paul called him a hypocrite over circumcision.

Gotta know tj...

Do you believe once you are saved you can become unsaved?

[GymPrincess]

I gotta know why jc said he came here to fulfill the law and not to avolish it and not romove anything from it otherwise he is called least in the kindom (Matthew 5:17) Yet paul goes on and on how it is a curse and we a(Jews) no longer need to eo the stuff. Yet Almight Gd himself said forever.

One condradiction in a book equals not divine
Old testament and new testament speak of 2 completely sifferent Gds.

Fornus non-jews the 7 laws of Noah are your way to heaven. Do not break the idolatry one by worshipping a man name jesus who has not filled not even one of the proficies of the Messiah.

I believe Galations or James taks about continuing to improve and to repent for out daily sins. We cannot just claim we are saved yet continue to live in the dark unchanging for the better.
