Atheism.
There is no such thing as god,holy 10 rules and other bullshit that the cato's created to keep in power IMO Human created god not God created Human.
Coruption and false.
That is what they learn you in the church.No freedom of speach(even thought they blaber bullshit that god gave you freewill...BULLSHIT - The free will is the Mind).


Also i've seen recently this show with steaphan hawking..that made me more clear about the creation of the world.

I'm Catholic, although sometimes I spend hours wondering if all this things I believe in are really true...

I am christian, in the United Church denomination. (A mixture of congregationism, medodism, a little protestantism, and a few other stuff)

Yeah, I am the same way. But that's faith, to me at least. Not questioning the existence of God would be foolishness.

Yeah, I have too much free time on my hands. So much to the fact that instead of bickering with people who will never believe you, I took 30 seconds to look up denominations on Wikipedia. I'm sorry, but I had to say that, because I have almost no free time whatsoever. I mean, tomorrow I'm spending 11 hours at school, not counting hw I will have to do when I get home. And outside of thanksgiving, nto a day goes by where I don't have to be somewhere by 8.3o. :heh

Solid, I'm sorry, catholics didn't invent the 10 commandments. Also, thosands of catholics have been killed for trying to speak their mind. I'm pretty sure we don't try to stop free speech. And, Catholics believe faith is not neccesary for salvation, just live a good life. Oh yeah, and we don't believe in Creationalism, Evolution is widely accepted by Catholics. Get your facts right next time, I'm tired of your ignorant remarks, and I don't give a shit about how rough your life has been, or how "tehj cathos r tring to cuntol poland," it doesn't excuse the comments you make.

Well, I'm a Unitarian Universalist, which is sort of hard to explain. It's more based around fairness and compassion for everyone and guiding people along on their path for inner meaning than worshipping a higher power. This isn't to say that no UUs believe in God, on the contrary, many of them do. UUism isn't a strict religion by any means. My whole family is UU, so that's how I've been brought up, but I don't think any of us have the same ideas about God. Personally, I don't believe in God. I've spent hours, probably days collectively, thinking about this, and I've come to the conclusion that if I were to tell myself and others that I believe in a higher power who watches over us and hears our prayers at night, I'd be fooling myself. I'm the son of a biologist, so creationism has always sounded like utter garbage to me, and the same goes for intelligent design. For one thing, there are countless things about the human body that are far from "intelligent", but I won't get into that. I'm not the kind of person who can put all their faith in something that isn't concrete. I respect people who can do that, but for me, saying prayers at night has always had the same significance as a birthday wish, or passing along a chain letter. My parents never forced any kind of religion on me, and neither has my church, I've made this decision clearly and on my own.

Anyway, there you go. That's what I believe. Hope I didn't offend anyone, though, if I did it wasn't my intention.

You forgot the religion of the gold haired holy wombat. (i know its has only one member and i also know who that member is: ME!)

But now i will be serious (for once)
I can't believe if there is a good but i can't belief there isn't one either!
We have just to accept that somethings we don't know of can or can't exist.

and for the one's who wanna know it: if you die you'll find it out (please don't kill youreself because of what i said ok?)

Yeah, I guess you're right, but I don't put much stock in them coming true. I don't think many people do, really. But a lot of fairly religious people I'm friends with really believe God will answer their prayers, or at least hear them. I'm not saying anyone's faith is wrong of course, but my mind is just too scientific to believe something like that. To me, prayers are, at most, a nice gesture. But I just can't bring myself to believe that saying "And please let my aunt recover from cancer" alone in your bedroom one night (or many nights, or whatever) will actually have an effect on whether your aunt recovers or not. So to me, it's a nice thing to do, to "pray for someone", but it's hard for me to believe that it will actually make the difference in the long run (which isn't to say no one should pray for one another, of course).

Anyway, that was much longer than I intended it to be. It's funny, a lot of people say that people who believe in God and creationism and stuff (not saying that if you believe in God you MUST believe in creationism) sometimes are just too simple minded to wrap their minds around evolution, so they're taking the "easy way out" so to speak, by believing that someone created it all at once. But it's the exact opposite for me, because it's much easier for me to conceptualize the process of evolution than it is for me to believe in a higher being watching over us.

So there's my stance on God. Enthralling, I know.

It was rather enthralling ;P. Anyways, I understand what you are saying about saying prayers, and sometimes I feel the same way. One thing though about what you said- "God always answers our prayers, just sometimes in the ways that we don't want God to."

Shacknasty, isn't the point of Unitarism to question belief. It is just a little strange to me, the idea of someone being brought up on those principles

Well, not really. Here are the 7 Principles of UUism (sort of like the 10 Commandments):

We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote:

1. The inherent worth and dignity of every person.
2. Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations.
3. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.
4. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
5. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and society at large.
6. The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.
7. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

It's sort of idealistic, and on many occasions I find myself breaking one of these. The core of being a UU has nothing to do with belief in a higher power or questioning belief in a higher power, but both of those things can be part of it. For example, Principle 4 is free and respinsible search for truth and meaning. God might have a huge part in your search for truth and meaning in your life. A lot of people don't really understand Unitarian Universalism because it's a religion that isnt' guided by belief in a God or Gods. However, the lack of a God in its foundations should by no means discount it from being a real religion. The UUs are guided people, but not by a God.

yeah with all the talks about gay marrage in Canada some extreme christian rights were saying how hell would rain on us. Which is fucked up since like the Dutch has had legel gay marriage for like 20 or more years
