Religion Poll: Share Your Beliefs Here

[yyttr2]

Out of curiousity, I was wondering what religion everyone here is apart of, if any.edit: The poll won't post D;

 

[BobG]

Unitarian Universalist.

Perfect religion for me. I have a Christian background, but have a hard time considering myself very Christian in my beliefs. UU has a Christian background, but it would be inaccurate to consider it still a Christian religion.

 

[Chi Meson]

I am an atheist, but I have never taken it to the point where I will go out and declare "I am an Atheist."

Whoah!

I think I just did.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

 

[arildno]

Heathen. Wotan and Thorr and suchlikes.

 

[leroyjenkens]

I'm a Scientologist. I worship L. Ron Hubbard.

 

[Pythagorean]

Pythagoreanism

 

[Jonathan Scott]

I'm a Christian Atheist; that is, I think that Christians have a good system but their god doesn't exist.

(I'm also a slight flying-saucerist, although only by elimination because I'm even more sceptical of the alternatives. I'm inclined to agree with Josef Blumrich that the most plausible systematic explanation for the amazing description of helicopter-like machines in 2 Esdras and Ezekiel, Elijah's whirlwind, "Chariots of fire", the pillar of cloud/fire that leads Moses, the "Glory of the lord" in the New Testament, the star that appears to the wise men and various other references not only in the Bible but in other religions, is some sort of flying saucer!)

This might be helpful. Or maybe not.

 

[Zubin]

I'm a follower of The FSM(flying spaghetti monster). I want a God that isn't an evil mass murdering psychopath that forces me to accept his twisted moral values. Plus, the FSM can feed you for an eternity.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Frisbeetarianism" - the belief that when you die, your soul rises up and gets stuck in the attic. (If you don't have an attic, it gets stuck in your roof, or a tree, or wherever else a frisbee can get stuck.)

I'm wondering it this thread will last longer than that one?

Haven't you heard? The proper term nowadays is "faith community."

 

[Galteeth]

Discordian

 

[Stratosphere]

Agnostic.

 

[Danger]

Semi-militant atheist. You can believe whatever you want to, and we'll get along okay; try to convert me, and I'll fall on you like a ball of neutronium.

 

[Sorry!]

I believe in Sorry! being the one true God.

Isn;t that the strangest co-inky-dink.

I was just asking myself if one could adopt Christian values without having to adopt the God along with it.

 

[rootX]

I am interested in all sort of things that can make me calm, bring peace to my mind when I need it, or re-energize me when I am exhausted.

I believe in Greg Bernhardt. I think He can perform miracles, such as free membership, or even (ultimate almightiness) banning a mentor.

Wow, such a rich verity of atheists. What others are there?

That would be really pathetic (or, rather, pathick)

Really though, I'm a weak atheist I think.

If this trend continues (and I hope it does), this thread probably isn't going to get locked.

Funny! I feel exactly the same way, about atheists.

I claim no formal beliefs.

 

[Newai]

It depends on which church or mosque I'm in. I never know from one week to the next.

 

[humanino]

and humanino is his prophet?

I do not believe in humanino.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Oh yes.

Semi-militant atheist.

In formal terms: Semi-militant agnostic.

I kind of thought that at first when I heard the term a few years ago, then I came across Christian Atheism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_atheist" and realized there are many types of beliefs.

Also, there are Agnostic Christian Atheists, basically combining an agnostic atheist with a Christian atheist. For agnostic atheism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnostic_atheism"

Non-practicing Jew. It means that, like the unitarians, I believe in no more than one G-d.

I've found parallels between my (atheist) views and http://www.secularhumanism.org/" , an organization that seeks to address the following:

Atheism and agnosticism are silent on larger questions of values and meaning. If Meaning in life is not ordained from on high, what small-m meanings can we work out among ourselves? If eternal life is an illusion, how can we make the most of our only lives? As social beings sharing a godless world, how should we coexist?

 

[mcknia07]

I'm a Baptist and proud of it!

 

[sas3]

I am an Atheistic Rational Buddhist.

If other people can make up religions so can I.

A.R.B. I like that !
I think I will start a Church.

Why it this thread tagged with "wee"?

I'm not sure if sex counts as a religion.

My creators engaged in the sex to bring about my creation, and their creators before that. My Prime Creators were the first people to have the sex in my bloodline. All hail the sex! The sex is creation!

 

[yyttr2]

^^ wow, lots of posts.

I forgot to tell everyone what my personal beliefs were. I am a strong Atheist.
anonymously hung posters around my school with the atheist bus slogans once... fun fun

 

[DrClapeyron]

Pop culturist. Anything and everything in the tabloids, commercials and billboards pretty much sums up my beliefs.

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Agnostic. I do not believe that god exists, nor do I believe that god does not exist. I more or less see the question as irrelevant since it is unknowable (in my estimation) and most people would probably call me an atheist.

 

[MotoH]

Roman Catholic. I believe in god, but I also believe in science.

PS. I'm an atheist, of the friendly variety.

... I believe in God, but I also believe in science.

Many scientists were religious believers such as Johann Kepler (1571-1630) who

stated that in his astronomy research, he was merely `thinking God's thoughts after Him.

One way they saw no conflict between a belief in God and the scientific method is to understand the laws of science as being God's laws of creation, that is understanding God as the author and guarantor of the laws of science.

Of course such an approach necessitates understanding Genesis in a non-literal sense, as originally intended.

[BobG]

I really want to understand this part

And here I just figured you meant you wished you could understand science.

I can understand Garth's interpretation though.

There are those that see that there's at least one religion that ignores important principles of science (such as evolution) and conclude everyone that believes in God does not believe in science.

And then there are those that believe there is at least one sheep in Scotland that is black on at least one side.

IBTL. I give this thread one or two days at most. For the record - I am a deist.
