Just wondering, what do you belive in? |
|
Ok, so since the topic has been coming up lately I figured I would ask, what do all of you think is in store for us? Some of us are pretty damned sure that these shells are no more than just a shell, meaning we dont need them. |

"A knight is sworn to valor.
His heart knows only virtue.
His blade defends the helpless.
His might upholds the weak.
His word speaks only truth.
His wrath undoes the wicked."
Impossible is only that which has yet to be imagined

*Sits with meaningful look on face while gently caressing Goatee* Hmm yes the eternal question. I grew up without any religion being thrust upon me, my parents decided it would be better if I would choose on my own free will, so I sorta have a strange view on religion and all that creation stuff because I was "observing" if you will. |

"Do you believe in Karma?"
"Sutra? YOU BET!"
I believe in the Christian God. Not like most Christians, though. I think most Christians like to believe they have a good grasp of this ungraspable concept which is God. I think (like Socrates) that I know more then they because I acknowledge I don't know anything at all about God. |

I thought maybe I can get my own few cents in before this thread gets too long... |

I't's amazing to hear all your beliefs. Dont anyone feel like their rambleing, because it's really insightful. I agree about the idea that too much blood has been shed over religion...with so many other things us humans have that pride issue and so many religions hold ideas we beleive in, so we assume it the one that we want and believe in, or the one we were guilt tripped into beleiveing in. I was brought up catholic, but what made me turn away from it was when I made my first communion and my parents were unable to receive communion because they were divorced and remarried...I thought my god dose'nt judge. I've come to just trust my instincts about what I beleive is right and wrong....I dont deney Jesus was an elightened soul, but he accourding to me was no more the son of god then we are all the sons and daughters of god...I think it's a good soul people want to identify with. I dont want to offend anyone's beliefs. |

As you all know if you are a believer in Christ is that Heaven is infamiable, yet people still persive it as this cloudy place, where all we do is sing and play the harp. But i think thats what the devil wants us to persive it as "A Boring PLace". But im sure its not. |

A very wise man by the name Of J.R.R tolkien said that, I cannot take credit. |

Anyone ever read the book Small Gods by Terry Pratchett? It has an interesting take on religion. |

John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." |

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
I belive in John 3:16 although i know that some of the things religons pertray might not be true. OK WHAT IM ABOUT TO SAY PPL, some might take offense to BUT PLZ DONT GET MAD AT ME FOR IT. |

"I thought what I'd do was pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes..."
Shawndow, I am definately not offended, that's an interesting observation and you're probably right! |

I don't think we need centers to represnt god (I mean like The Church and such) Why do we need someone to tell us what god wants? Someone to interprut the bible for us? If there is a god then I think he wanted us to worship him in our own way, not get told what to do. |

Jesus exsisted, he died on the cross. Why everyone is argueing is wether or not he was the son of god and such, that we will never know. But for some people with faith they seem to already know, I envy them in a way... But I just can't seem to think like that, not in my nature. |
