    I did, and strangely enough, he said Buddhism was the closest anyone has come.

    Really? You got a word in with God.
    'Course, we can't all have that privelage, God's a bit far off, so why not ask your closer-to-home Jesus! ...that's me. I'm very wise. Oaple is a market gland. You see?

    1. Evolution is a fact. Let's just get that out of the way first.
    Evolution is a scientific theory - not a fact. Claiming evolution to be a fact would be like making it your religion - a pointless act for one who seeks asking questions and answering them. Science is ever changing, composed of many theories and many facts - but in science, unlike religion, facts can be challanged.

    Not to say evolution doesn't make sense - it does, at least to me. I consider it to be 99% certain, and that's really good enough to base other theories upon.

    As for me... I'm Jewish. I don't believe in God (from that aspect, I'm agnostic, not eliminating the possibility of God's existence, but not believing it either, for lack of proof), but I celebrate the holidays and try to follow the teachings, out of respect for tradition, and the acknowledgment of the good it brings. Through my eyes I see great wisdom in Judaism, and I don't need a God to accept it.

    I am a believer of Jessism. It's a religion I named after myself, since I invented it. I think religion should be a personal thing, and my personal beliefs disagree with all organized religious groups which currently exist. It's tennants are somewhat of a mix between Congregationalism, Buddhism, Confucianism, current hard science, and my own experience. It serves me well.

    I wish I still had a link to the site we used in my World Religions class in college... It had every religion you could possibly want to learn about explained in a way that made it an easy read.

    Well, this site at least appears to have a good grasp of the major religions, for those who keep asking questions about what a religion is: http://wri.leaderu.com/

    i would like a religion between Budda, Jebus and Starbucks
    Al: I Care, by Al Bundy. When hooters jiggle around and I find nickels on the ground, I care. When a Mustang engine purrs and the bathroom is not hers, I care. When the pitcher's on the mound and the wife is underground, I care. But when I've been playing this for days, I will kill anyone who stays. I swear

    No, I don't have a religion... I guess I used to be... hmm... Catholic, not because of my family and friends, but because of my school. It was a Catholic-school-thingy... not that different, but we went to church once a month and all that. And of course we learned about different religions... Anyway, I don't believe in anything now.
