What religion do you follow?

[Redway]

Joe's thread got me thinking about this actually, so in what religious system do you believe, if at all?

[Niamh.]

None

[Shaun]

none bye

Atheism isn't a religion.

You missed out Judaism in the poll. Me and Livia are not happy :idc:

[King Gizzard]

and Catholic is Christianity

[Niall]

I was brought up as a Catholic, but I'd consider myself a Christian now seeing as I want nothing to do with them anymore. I don't really believe in Church either, but just sort of a personal relationship with God. I don't see the significance in wasting an hour a week in some stuffy building in total boredom.

That said, recently I've been feeling increasingly.. nihilistic (I think that's the right term anyway). So I'm not sure what to believe. I try to convince myself that there is a God, but I just feel like I'm trying to fool myself into some fantasy nowadays.

why do people need an actual religion though even if they do believe in God or whatever?

I had a teacher who believed in God but he wasn't any specific religion, so he'd go to Church/Mosque etc. There's a name for it but I can't remember

[Niall]

I don't know really. Most of the people I know that attend church say that it's all because of the community aspect of it. :shrug:

It's a weird thing anyway. I don't see why people are required to go to some building every week to listen to passages from a 2000-year-old book that they've probably heard before. None of it seems to have any significance on the personal relationship with God which is what Christianity is meant to be about (well not to me anyways).

and Catholic is Christianity

most Protestants, baptists, and Presbyterians would say that Catholics are going to hell and aren't actually Christians

At least from my experience

[Marsh.]

Catholics would say they are going to hell as well.
But isn't that why they split in the first place? They differ on their interpretations of the bible.

..I really don't like threads/questions like this..(nothing personal Redway..)..what religion are you..?..what political party do you support..?...how old are you..?...etc...does it make you a different person, have different values, interact differently..more compassion/sense of right or wrong...there is a reason why these type of questions are no longer asked in job applications etc...because they serve no purpose except to invite prejudice and judgements....

[Marc]

No it doesn't Ammi. I'd prefer to know somebody for who they are rather than their beliefs. I don't need to know about your S&M addiction or your love for splashing kids with puddings Ammi

[lostalex]

Atheist.

I think all organized religions are a lie and just a means of controlling people and/or making a few people very rich. It's a way for a small group of people to control a large number of people. I see very little different between religious leaders and politicians.


That being said, I do believe that the Universe is vastly more complex than what science can currently explain. I definitely think the universe is full of mysteries and things that we have no idea about. I just don't believe that any current religions know the truth about it though.

Meh, I think it's quite interesting. There's a lot of members I wouldn't have down as religious types who apparently are :laugh:

I was bought up in a very Christian household but I'm agnostic.

[billy123]

None and the poll is kind of skewed you can add together the Atheist,idk and Agnostics together for a start and call them none.
I dont follow any religion nor do i follow any belief but in saying that i admire people that follow any religion as the ideals of all religions as far as i can see are based on ideals that would be a credit to any member of society.

I have friends from all walks of life some of them are nice with knobish qualitys some of them are knobs with nice qualitys and every possibility inbetween. Thats just people for you.
However anybody that judges people on being religious or not and on which religion are just blatant dumb arses and i havent got time for them and can feck off.

[joeysteele]

Misread the titile of this thread, I don't really practice any religion.
I was born a Roman Catholic and am baptised and confirmed but for me now at this time, that is as far as it goes.

[lostalex]

I agree. Also Catholics are Christian, so those should be combined as well.

[Jake.]

Why should anything be combined anyway? Having Catholicism and Christianity seperate isn't exactly causing a fuss, and some Christians might not consider themselves Catholics. I'm a Catholic, had my communion, confirmation and what not, my mum had only been baptised, so how is she a Catholic? :suspect:

Well if you're going to have catholic separate then you should also have separate for Mormons, and Jehovah's witnesses, and Southern Baptists, and Episcopalians, and Jews for Jesus etc etc etc. There;'s even more than 1 type of Catholic, there's Roman Catholics and then there's Greek Orthodox Catholics. They're all Christians though. And you should have separate for Sunni Muslim or Shiite Muslims...

btw, I was also raised Roman Catholic. I went through all the sacraments too.

[Jake.]

A poll can only have 25 options, there's a reason why there's an option for 'Other (Please Specify), and I'm highly doubtful that the forum is overrun with Shiite Muslims.

Its ok Alex sometimes people dont agree with each other and thats fine and while im not religious i think its ok to admire people that are.

I dont claim to be well read or well travelled (but at least i have tried and have done fairly well) but i have taken the time to try and understand other peoples opinions and i have yet to find a religion that is anything but positive and at least has ideals of making a better life for people.
Unlike yourself who is nothing but a raincloud of doom.

I'm a raincloud of doom because I said that Catholics are Christians so there's no need for a separate option on the poll? WTF are you on?

You are making ZERO sense right now.

I will take that as an apolgy.

I really hope that you're drunk , cause if you're not then you must have some very serious psychiatric issues dude. You're not making any sense.

No need to get angry again Alex.

I am with friends and family about to have sunday lunch what are you up to?

It's okay, sometimes I have to get drunk to deal with family gatherings as well. I understand now.

Thank you. I did those two options separate because I'm aware there's some ambiguity about it. I don't see it myself, but that's what others might say...

[billy123]

It's okay, sometimes I have to get drunk to deal with family gatherings as well. I understand now.:hugesmile: that reads as sat in my bedroom on my own.
Dude whatever your circumstance i dont care just chill you are so judgemental its crazy. It makes you look like a prick!

Judgemental for saying what exactly? Saying that Catholicism is part of Christianity?(it is) or for saying that it's hypocritical for you to call me a troll?(it is)

[billy123]

If you have a problem with that then thats just one more of your short comings not mine.
edit: you are bitter and an angry individual im not getting involved bye bye.

WTF, again, yu are making no sense. what personal comments did I make against another member? You are so out of it. Why can't you just answer a simple question? You're more interested in attacking me than actually making a point.

You called me a troll that should be ignored. How is that not a personal attack?

[billy123]

You two should hate******.Im a lover not a hater i leave the hating to the turdfaces like the yoghurt knickers in the previous posts.
