Whats the one where you are not any religion?
Agnostic. Although I intend to read more about Evolution etc. over Christmas, so I'll probably became Atheist. I think the reason I'm agnostic is because I don't know enough about the subject.
Edit @ Neversoft: Atheist is where you don't believe. Agnostic is where you're not sure.
NOt any religion is atheist
Not blieve in a god is atheist
If your not sure if there is a god then you would be agnostic
Thanks :)Quote:

Right i am going to go deep into this now.
God created Natural + moral morality
God created us in his image so he doesn't control us we choose what we want to do. We do, our consicence but he may send us signs.
If people want to hurt others its there choice. The reason for natural evil (tornado's, earthquakes) is that god gave The first humans (adam and eve) to protect the worlds naturistics.
As we have been spoillings our worlds (digging, buring) the world is change and so is the effects.
Finally people say there is no proof. There is and its staring you right in the face.
If you think back..
to the dinosaurs.
who made them?
Microbes?
Who made them?
The rock colloiding causing energy?
Who made the rocks + the coloding energy
Where ever you look into life it will always lead to one place. God.
God doesn't think any less of you if you choose not to belive in him. He loves the pope and much as he loves somone who is a mass murderer. If the Murderer is willing to souly say sorry then got will forgive him no matter what he has done.
Omipresent - God is everywhere
Omipitent - God is all-knowing
Benevelent - Got is all loving and will forgive you for everything you do.
Sorry if thats a bit long but if you have any other questions i will be happy to answer them :D
God gave us free will, that is why there is war/evil/arguements in the world.Quote:

Also a key word: Free Will- We have the choice to murder, steal, if we like, but each action has it's consequence.
Muslim.
Catholicism is a branch of Christianity?
But anyway, Atheist.
I thought it all had to do with the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve ate that apple thus disobeying God so that's why there is sin :sQuote:

agnostic - the evidence for and against god is inconclusive.
Lol I was going to ask that, I always forget.Quote:

Agnostic :)
Right, this could be a bit of an essay maybe not though who know.
I believe nothing exists after death, your just dead. I believe people who are a certain religion are just scared of dieng and want to believe that there is afterlife. as i said this is just my opinion and i respect other people :)
None of my family are religious and I've been brought up in a town where hardly anyone is religious.
Therefore.. Atheist.
I would say I am religous and yes I think God does exist
When I think about God death dosn't even enter my mind I actually feel sorry for people who don't have faith and maybe your scared of facing God? just a thought lol and of course I respect your beleifs aswellQuote:

Since they are NOT mutualy excusive, for exsample, a Buddest is an aithiest, since buddism itself has no concepts of a deity or god of any sorts, yet buddism is still a religion "/
I am both without a religion and without a belife in god.
roman catholic.
If i had to choose a religion it would buddishm as to me it makes the most sense. but im just nothing :)
atheist.
You forgot Jedi! It's an official religion you know!
Anyway, I'm Christian :)
how did the world start then?Quote:

Catholic. I wasn't sure if I should say Catholic or Christian, tbh I don't know the difference.
Catholicism is a denomination of Christianity.
How about you tell us, since you were so obviously there when it happened.Quote:

what i have learnt in school.
What is God?
-God is a supreme spirit who alone exists of himself and is infinite in all perfections.
-God was NOT created; He is that spirit who is able to give the gift of creation without having that gift conferred on him.
Whatdo we know about God?
-God has ALWAYS existed; it is God's nature to exist.
-We say that God is Eternal and Infinite and that there is only one god.
-This belief in one God is known as Monotheism.
-The belief in more than one God is known as Polytheism.(i think that is spelt right).
God as Father
-The Christian Sign is the sign of the cross " In the name of the Father..."
-We are baptised in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, this is the blessed trinity - Three persons in one God.
This is a mystery that is fundamental to the Christian Faith.
-Summary-
One God made up of three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - Trinity
God is INFINITE and almighty - He can do all things - omnipotent (all powerful)
but can not go agaisnt his nature which is infinitely good.
God was created from "Ex Nihilo" (from nothing)
Genesis is a symbolic story of the creation of the world.
The Church accepts the Big Bang Theory of origin of the universe, but it is ordered and sustained by God.
God is our Father in that he loves us, cares for us and has given us the world and our life.
We are made in the image and likeness of God, chiefly in our souls, which are immortal, like God.
Jesus Christ means in Hebrew "Joshua Messiah" which further means "God Saves the annointed one"
do i need to explain more?
If god made everything, where did god come from? Hmmmmmmm, explain that with some actual logic, none of that "He is the holy spirit and has always existed" crap, because you and I know that doesnt make any sense.
Oh, and why would I go to hell for not believing in god, if murders can get to heaven by apologizing? How about this: If I die, and god happens to exist, Ill apoligize for not believing in him, and it'll be all cool. He cant take it out on us, there is no proof he even exists.
I myself am an atheist, always have been however I don't begrudge anyone else their beliefs either.
It's weird, after reading this thread I am becoming more and more into believing in God, however I'd never become a Christian. I am atheist and always will be I suppose, an atheist with a slight belief in God.
