Not at all. I really feel its just a path that people wish to follow to self validate themselves. Believe there is life after death and feel someone is on their side. It's very comforting to feel this but I don't think any of its true. Just what people want to believe to make them feel like there is some meaning to life. A lot of religious folk will follow religion but bend it to their own rules. I find it bewilding that some people lead their life through a bible or an existence that isn't even rule. A lot of issues stem from religion.

Cool.

So who therefore are we to believe? what is in the bible or what those who represent God on this earth, preach?

What therefore is the point of repenting / going to confession / asking for sins to be forgiven then?

The bible says one thing (or rather many things), but that's not the message given out by those who spread the Lord's word here on earth is it?

There isn't any point in repenting seen as Jesus is going to come back and kill all the sinners anyway.

In that case, all non-believers would go to heaven also. As he/she/it would forgive people for not seeing the light :laugh:

As would sinners...they would be forgave too :D

Oh Noooooooooessss ....so Jesus is plotting mass murder!! :shocked::shocked:

He really needs the services of Max Clifford .....he's very good on the PR side of things.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....... I'm not falling for that one. :nono: We've already established that he's a liar, and there's talk of mass killings as well. :D

I'm sticking with Satan, at least I know where I stand with him! :D

so why did you just say you were 'hedging your bets' and 'covering all bases'?

It has already been established in another thread that Pixie Lott rules the universe.

Errr.....because Satan is considered by some to be the mighty one that they chose to worship - ie: because to Satanists, Satan is his own God. :tongue:

you are a satan worshipper then? :conf:

Aha....but there is no proof that there is one infinite universe - so she's not in charge of the this one. Doesn't count.

It's called banter ....... :idc:

That is all the proof you need

it's banter that you're a satan worshipper? I'd describe it more as 'disturbing'

Pretty looking lady - and I love her belt.

But she's not carrying a bible, levitating, or miracle making (unless that's in respect of her having some success!!!). Disnae count.

Oh she does all that. You just have to BELIEVE. I think a skim through the shrine will convert you

I didn't say I was a Satan Worshipper - but you just did. I'd describe you suggesting such, as 'disturbing'.

You might want to think about lightening up just a wee bit.

If you wanted a very serious debate on God and his existence, perhaps you should have raised your thread in the Serious Debate side of the forum instead of General Chat.

Mmmmm......... would have to give that one some very serious thought.

Okay. I thought.

Nope, it didn't work. :bawling: Her mystical powers failed on me. :(

Heathen :bored:

Guily as charged M'Lud.

Guilty as charged M'Lud.

I didn't want a debate, I was just asking if other people were religious. That's why the title of this thread is 'Are you religious?'

And people are replying..... mostly with humour thrown in..... seeing as you didn't want a debate, serious or otherwise.

you make me want to scream
