Ditto. I too have many friends that are gay and I don't have a that much of a problem with it.Originally Posted by Bert

I go to a Christian church and I'm not against gays. Our church leaders teach that, yes, the Bible clearly states that being openly gay is a sin, but so is judging your peers and gossiping, and the Bible says all sins are equal.
I studied the Church of Satan briefly. It was interesting, and not horrible. What I mostly learned about it is that its just about living mostly for yourself and none of the "turn the other cheek" stuff that most churches teach.i believe in realism

What Matt said.
My personal opinion is that there are two ways to be Atheist. At its simplest form, Atheism is "no belief," so simply, if you have no belief in God, you're Atheist in some form. One way to do it is the way I do, and that is simply not believing that the stories about God are necessarily true. Another way is to categorically claim that there is no God, but this standpoint requires as much faith as belief in God does, so anyone who believes this really has no way to defend such a view. I think you should check out articles on infidels.org for more info, including the message board there because they're full of info.
yea..people always think that Satanism is a bad thing but it's not
the curch tells people that it's bad and that you to believe in god while giving money to curch.
an other wat's ugging is...as i can remember..
The curch said: "We don't need money"
if they don't need money then how come they those huge and expensive curches whit those "colored" glass in it.

Agnostic
What?
I'm Roman Catholic.
Anon say I.
The King James Version of the Bible "states" that being gay is a sin. I say "states" because it doesn't actually state this. Most people will find a verse in the Bible and take it out of context to mean something that it doesn't. There are also some instances where language translation is a factor. The Bible was originally written in I think Ancient Aramaic (sp?). It was translated several times before being translated into English, and many many words have been slightly altered in this process, but slightly altering a word can change a sentence's meaning dramatically, which is what has happened to many verses in the Bible. And, one might find it interesting to read the proclamation made by King James (insert correct Roman numeral) when he ordered the church to translate the Bible to English. You might read several things about making it sound more poetic or changing certain contents to fit his liking, ect. ect. So the King James Version of the Bible is alter quite significantly from it's original text. Anyway....
I am not of a religion. My take on god(s,ess) is that I accept it as a possibility that god exists because there is nothing to really prove or disprove this notion. I accept it as possbile, but not probable, as there is just not much evidence to support this. Prove god exists, and I'll believe in god without question, but until anything is proven about anything I really don't believe anything. Fayth (...mmm, I mean faith, too much FFX-2) is something I can really have. I ask why far too much, there really aren't enough answers in any religion for me.
Call me atheist for all i care. I have no preference, and I only believe in such a possibility of god, because in all practicalities, I only believe that if there were such a god, it would only be so limited as being so, instead of being infinite; like just about any other religion claims that it is.
I believe that there is infact, marginal differences between knowledge of substantial form, and beliefs, too the fact that beliefs are something determined, whereas facts, and mathematics are predetermined from a core knowledge based on the idea of 'beliefs'. So I tell each and everyone of you, that You can never be sure of anything you know, or at the least, think you know; because perpetually, it is wrong, because all you can be sure of is what you know you know; which is derived from a certain belief.
that is my religion.
How excessively existentialist (or whatever the right adjective that for that is). That was awesome.
Half orthodox, half budist (this is not a religion!!!!)
This is an old thread....But I might as well reply in it since it was stirred up by Mydreamsalready.
My religion is science.

My parents baptised me Catholic when I was very small, although we never set foot in a church. I was always interested in religious affairs from afar, even at a young age. After studying them and seeing what was going on in the world, realising that I had no feeling of a "god" or a "spirit" with me I formally announced my acceptance of the lifestyle associated with the modern Church of Satan, having realised that I had been living it since birth. At twelve years old, when my parents clued me in that they had baptised me without my consent, I promptly threw up at the thought (no joke), I signed and submitted an official form of apostacy, and mailed it off to the Canadian Offices of the Arch Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church.
I'm 26 now. I'm not affiliated with any religious organisation. I don't believe in hopes or prayers, I believe in action. I don't believe in a man made anthropomorphic presence, I believe in myself. I don't believe in leniency towards those who accost you, I believe in educating them in tandem with their own offenses. I don't believe in restricting myself from the things that make me feel good, I believe in consumption and appreciation of all things that give me pleasure. I believe that life itself is the most sacred of all things and the only way to truly do it proper respect is to experience it from as many angles as concievably possible within the limits of your own personal sense of comfort, not by following an ancient set of rules based on control and discomfort.
I am a modern day Satanist, called only Satan by and for the Christian faith for being it's complete opposite. I am *not* a devil worshipper, I am a self-worshipper indulging in whatever path I choose to lead my life through. I do not have rituals, I do not attend black masses. I *am* nice to people if I respect them and I *do not* go around bashing other people's beliefs just because I feel that mine are better for myself. Having whatever faith you choose to help you better understand your own existance is a human freedon that I have neither the right nor desire to take from you.
