Religion

[Ryan K]

Which religion(s) do you practice?

What's your take on the subject?

god is not the source of pain you are by the chhoices you make and only you can make them.


Life is the future, not the past.
The past can teach us, through experience, how to accomplish things in the future, comfort us with cherished memories, and provide the foundation of what has already been accomplished. But only the future holds life. To live in the past is to embrace what is dead. To live life to its fullest, each day must be created anew. As rational, thinking beings, we must use our intellect, not a blind devotion to what has come before, to make rational choices.

"religion is an awesome topic... it's a shame that everyone has to counter your opinion. I don't believe that anyone's opinion should be attacked because that's what they believe (and who is to say it's wrong), and I'm sure a valid arguement still won't change the mind of that particular belief."

agreed, Kevin!

I'm a Christian. I believe the Bible is the word of God, and that Jesus is Christ and has risen from the dead. However, I don't believe in bashing people over the head with my Bible. ;0) If people are interested in the subject, I'll share what I believe. But too many Christians force their opinions on or attack others, and what good does that do? And then, we stick to our "safe" little circles, and shun those who don't agree with us. Doesn't seem very Christ-like to me. It pisses me off...
Anyway, done ranting...

before i start a big fight i must say none of you are disuccsing religion. the original question stats and i quote " what religion(s) do you practice? and " what is your take on it?

I going ot start y quoteing Kayra and going from there...."too many Christians force their opinions on or attack others" i must say this from the moment of christ death and the birth of hte church(s) christians have been forcing there religion on others and still do. did you know that you christians have no true holiday that is your own....christmas is origianlly known as "Dies Natalis Solis Invicti means "the birthday of the unconquered Sun." and was founded thousands of years before christ was a thought, though this holiday is open for any believe system it is not a christian holiday, though it is used as one. "EASTER" is another this one though was stolen and corrupted to fit christian ways. easter is actually far older than any holiday though its true origins are un known it is in all religions in one form or another, however it is most often believed to originat from the goddess Ēostre of Anglo-Saxon paganism....hmmm christains selbrating a pagan holiday(isnt that a sin) using pegan beliefes....oh and hte beliefe was stolen and corrupted byt he church(another sin) ohh did you know that communion,baptism, and many other rites are a form of magic(witchcraft) these are far older than even the egyptions. even prayer wich is hte summoning and request for aid,wishes, and concerns is a form of magic.

almost all relgions that have origin from the middle east derive friom believes from earlier systems that have been alterd to fit the current believers ways.

Asian belives i have yet ot study but i am soon to be learning on.


ohh on last thing another quote coment...."I believe the Bible is the word of God"


my response to theis is "Speak a lie and i will know it ,let it be writen, who's to say it is true or not.


irespect the christian faith as it is a beacon of hope in a wolrd that has little how ever i must question it as with all others.

"did you know that you christians have no true holiday that is your own"
duh, no one has ever heard of this! Gee you is so clever!

[Manosse]

wasnt trying to be clever but simple stated fact...i could go farther into ripping the religion apart but i wont, i know the truth and that is all that matters and i dont care if u delude your self or not.christians are simply theives and liars the very thing that they are not suposed to do...now ill drop this before it gets really heated.

[Manosse]

Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self.

[paris green]

You stated a fact that's been stated on messages boards for years. It's a big duh! You're also an idiot for thinking my criticism of you implies I'm some sort of Christian apologist. Drop it or you are going to get all internet badass? You're a real joke!
