Very true. :)
Not a religion person myself.

I lol'd, but I can't figure out if that was the intention.Quote:

Damn, I missed the boat…
I found an interesting poem that pretty much sums up my thoughts on organized religion…
Quote:
THE BROAD-BACKED hippopotamus
Rests on his belly in the mud;
Although he seems so firm to us
He is merely flesh and blood.
Flesh and blood is weak and frail,
Susceptible to nervous shock;
While the True Church can never fail
For it is based upon a rock.
The hippo’s feeble steps may err
In compassing material ends,
While the True Church need never stir
To gather in its dividends.
The ’potamus can never reach
The mango on the mango-tree;
But fruits of pomegranate and peach
Refresh the Church from over sea.
At mating time the hippo’s voice
Betrays inflexions hoarse and odd,
But every week we hear rejoice
The Church, at being one with God.
The hippopotamus’s day
Is passed in sleep; at night he hunts;
God works in a mysterious way—
The Church can sleep and feed at once.
I saw the ’potamus take wing
Ascending from the damp savannas,
And quiring angels round him sing
The praise of God, in loud hosannas.
Blood of the Lamb shall wash him clean
And him shall heavenly arms enfold,
Among the saints he shall be seen
Performing on a harp of gold.
He shall be washed as white as snow,
By all the martyr’d virgins kist,
While the True Church remains below
Wrapt in the old miasmal mist.
T.S Eliot
wish I could say something about religions but after studing most of them they all have parts that trace to another, so I don't know, I just pray to God, that's all.
That sounds like what I would say, and I kinda settled into the Wicca or Celtic some whould call it. ^^ It's more calming and a religion that actually helps me relieve stress and clean out my aura.Quote:

mostly wiccan, part atheist, part agnostic.
Yeah, just a bunch of stuff I ended up believing. It's not an organized system of beliefs or anything.
If this were EotW I would have started handing out bans.
But in any case, Autumn Rain knock it off, we don't tolerate personal attacks here.
And as far as religion goes, I'm nonreligious, but I do believe in a higher, benevolent power.
What the smurf? When did I attack anyone? All I did was defend my stance, after other people jumped on my back for disliking their religion. If having an opinion is ban-worthy, let me know so I can find a new forum.
I hate gays so yeah, I guess you could say I'm a Christian.
Just a question, if there was a God, then why is there so much suffering in the world. Why does he let this go on.
Also, People believe God is a good person, but hes the one thats saying that if you dont worship me you will get an eternity of pain in hell.
God, IMO, sounds like the bad guy........
This makes me believe there is no God, And even if there was, I'd never worship him.
I think people choose to believe in God because they are scared of death, and want to believe something is beyond death, and have dillusioned themselves into thinking there is......
