A thread like this may already have been made...but I don't see it so I thought I'd make one. Just a simple question...what is your religion? And why so?
Also..please try to keep arguments very limited. I'm not looking to start flame wars here..I am just interested in hearing about why people believe in what they do.
I've never really believed in a Religion. I once wondered what happened when one died, The black Void of nothingness? It's to difficult to get my head round, so I just accept that you live, then you die, nothing more to it.
It wouldn't even be that. Think of it like how it was for you before you were born.
Man to be honest...thinking about that freaks me out so much haha
and to what you said before (you know..involving all the math), I do not believe that whatever the superior being may be is just focusing on our world and our existence. Like I tried to explain before, but couldn't really think of how to say it so kinda gave up on attempting, what I believe the superior being to be is basically like Karma, but more embodied (I guess you could put it)
Also, off topic to what you said, I'm very pleased at how this is going so far! No hate (as of yet, but let's try to keep it that way please) which is awesome
Ahh. You guys type a lot. Don't any of you have jobs?
I'm not claiming what I believe is correct. It is just what I prefer to believe. I'm not claiming that what I believe should be believed by others, it is just something I personally prefer to believe.
Then why in hell do you believe it, if you know you are just fooling yourself? It is a lie, and if you know it, then why believe in the lie?

So you lie to yourself because you are afraid? Are you a coward?

Why would a being do that, for any reason? Do you even know what Karma is? Why would this being be superior to everyone else? And once again, why in hell do you believe this knowing that it is just a lie?

What about that freaks you out?

Even if we accept that this deity isn't focusing on just us but all life that is still pretty miniscule. Matter/energy that make up stars and planets only take up about 0.4% of the universe. Life would be a very small fraction of that 0.4%.
Judging by your responses thus far I can only wager a guess to my previous question that what is real doesn't matter. You seem to be more concerned about having some sort of security blanket whether it is real security or not. Tough Noogies and Hard Truths

Fast fingers and quick minds. ;D

I think that's the main reason for people's faith. That and a misguided childhood. :P
Whats interesting to me is that though my religion does believe in Christ, we aren't considered Christian to a lot of the people in the USA.
Kinda weird, but anyway I have previously stated my beliefs in other threads, and so base your knowledge on that. I don't think I need to be redundant.
If you do guess, or have a guess, please keep it to yourselves for the time being. When the timing is better, I will say what my Religion is. For now, judge me on my merits...

Mormon? if so, I understand where you are coming from. I was a former member of the church, but I had to leave because I realized that my intellectual growth will always be hindered by indoctrination if I stayed.
If you aren't one, then don't worry about it. people are fools, and you know that they are wrong.
I remember one of these popped up a while ago. It got locked because people starting bashing other religions.... Hope this one lives longer. Im catholic. No biggy.
Tis why I generally avoid the WERP. I actually am not sure how I wound up here... O.o So to stay on topic, im still catholic. I havent changed in the past hour in case you were wondering.
