people suffer everyday. i was taught at school that god chooses everyones path. make of that what you will. an innocent person somewhere in the world has been killed ad i type this. why?

I'm not into any organized religion. If the God's are so kind and innocent, what's with all the animal abuse(lamb slaughter, halal meat etc.), misogyny and sacrifing and suffering? And all the rules they set, and the money they demand? It exists in all religions to some extent, some religions I believe are genuinely peaceful but at what sacrifice?

I might not be making sense here but to sum it up, I heard Frankie Boyle say that religion is just a set of rules said by a mental person many years ago, that people actually believed and wrote down and followed. I kind of believe that.

I pray sometimes and my prayers are answered, sometimes they aren't so I consider myself agnostic. There are good and bad people from every religion and every race, which is why I despise racists and fascists so much.

Do you not find it odd that an 18th century man, Joseph Smith, chose to write the Book Of Mormon in 16th century English? 

Atheist.

I don't believe in a God (or Gods) and never have. I was never Christened, my parents aren't married and nothing has ever been forced upon me. There was a slight undercurrent of Protestant Christianity at first school but it was never something I ever cared for or bothered to engage in.

I think religion is a perfectly natural quirk of a society trying to make sense of the world, however its presence in the 21st century is both a backwards and negative force.

For the most part I have a very passive attitude towards religion and accept that people's lives are unique so don't hold any religious views against them. Aggressive, pushy or offensive positions however I can't tolerate.

I'm an agnostic atheist. I don't know if there is a god or gods or a supernatural, higher power. Nobody does, just as no one knows what happens after you die... and anyone who claims to know shouldn't be trusted by anyone. Now that that's out of the way, I live my life believing there isn't a higher power until there is cold, hard, and legitimate evidence proving otherwise.

All that said, if there was some anti-semitic uprising (which I have a feeling will happen in Europe soon, although that's a different subject for a different day), I'd be on their hit list due to my Jewish heritage. (Half of my family were murdered brutally at the hands of the Nazis.) No amount of "But I'm not religious!" will help me out if or when that day ever comes.

Also, nobody should have any problems with religious people. It's the ones who force their beliefs down other peoples' throats that are the problem. Those people are assholes, no matter what religion they are. (That includes the nonreligious as well.)

"...and the church all they want is your money"
I don't care if people are religious and believe in some kind of super power that guides their lives - if they need guidance. To me, it's perfectly clear how and why such thing as religion was created or exists and I know it has the potential to help a lot of people in their lives. Still, it's nothing for me and to be honest, when I meet people that had the same socialisation as me and go to church and stuff, I don't really get it. It seems kind of outdated to me. I always think: how can you possibly still believe in such things? It is the 21st century. At the same time I feel bad because it sounds like I am being arogant.
Religion should be a personal thing for those who need it. That's why I can't stand missionaries and churches. Also, why the fuck are there still states that aren't laicist? What has the church to do with politics? As a german I hate the fact that the dominant political party is called CHRISTIAN democratic union. Why?

I am none of these. I prefer to called a non-denominational Christian because I really find the rituals of both sides to be ridiculous and completely defer from the whole point of actually going to church.

\world was meant to end yesterday, still here.

My Religion is something in between Voodo and Methodism.


Seriously, there are al ot of good things in all of theese books.

You should never force your own believes on other people.

I'm an "non practicing protestant" I despise the dogma of the church but I also despise a clear anti-stance if it's only used to redicule people's pain and sorrow or to conspire against a group of people. You can't tolerate people if you can't come to terms with your hate.

I believe in John Lennon, Yoko and me.
 

What? There are plenty of real threats to Israel.

And part of the problem is you get these absolute roasters in this country who think the US should abandon all support for Israel - well until Israel stop being threatened by religious fundamentalist nutjobs in the Middle East, then it's stupidity beyond belief to abandon a position for Israel. Also, I don't believe Israel are an innocent party but I was just merely stating that even if they were the epitome of an innocent country with high-level diplomacy, then there would still be threats towards them. Terrorist groups like Hamas, Hizbollah and various others in the Middle East want Israel destroyed regardless of their status. If anything is to be destroyed it is those fundamentalist groups.

I'm not saying the US should be purely pro-Israel - I believe in a two state solution but if people think the problem of threats and fundamentalist positions towards Israel will go away with a two-state solution... come on, that's just silly.

Agnostic. I think I believe in God, but not religion. If there's a god then you'll be crash.. Wait no. If there's a god, I don't believe he'd expect us to only eat certain types of meat and women to have limited rights etc. he'd want us all to have freedom.
