I've been on this site for over 2 years and every thread like this one burns itself to the ground lol

Technically, I dont belong to one. I have never been baptised or christened or whatever the hell you do to a baby. Im not athiest though....I do believe in God.

Im techniqally a Catholic, which means I get bored a lot.
:lol: I'm Catholic too, so I know what you mean. Was baptized in the faith. I believe in my religion but don't follow or agree with everything in the faith. I chose to be confirmed while i was in high school.

I remember going to a Catholic funeral of a great Aunty a million times removed and thinking "The only person left to speak that knew her is the family cat."

Its shocking how longwinded everything takes. I think thats why the Church is so rich; they bore you into paying to make it stop! :D

I was christened and went to Sunday school as a child, but I don't go to church anymore or have a religion as such.

I'm Catholic. I dont really to church that much but I usually go on holidays with my family.

catholic...christened when i was a baby. go to church almost every sunday.

catholic, and in a jesuit school right now. that means lots of thinking and reflecting. lol, at least i get to explore my beliefs and position in the church.

Christianity. I CHOOSE to go to church on sunday.

Was forced into receiving the sacraments. Left the Catholic church as soon as possible and am now enjoying a life of sin as an Athiest. :iceslolan

People can repeitively babble as much crap as they like, but of they don't really respect God from the heart, then they're wasing thier time

I agree with Jim, for the most part. Go because you want and like to go. I am Christian and go to church every Sunday some times I don’t feel like it but I wind up enjoying it.

wow, doesn't it suck to know you have been lied to all your life?

Wow, you are AWFULLY harsh on ANYONE who does see things your way. Good thing you added, "Just a question" at the end, other wise you might look like a jackass.

Doesn't it suck to know you have been lied to all your life, huh? Well, I admit i can not PROVE anything I belive. Thats why its called faith. But i would love to see you PROVE one thing i belive as wrong.

So please, SHOW me where I have been LIED to.

That's how I feel.

actually the mormon church was one of the first churches started by anglos to let our fellow african american brothers to hold positions in our church and what does that have to do with being accurate?
sorry when i said accurate in my first post i should of said complete.

. . . My parents are Buddhists and it's been going way back in their culture (we're vietnamese..) I've been growing up in a very religious Buddhist home but I guess it's cool that my parents want me to believe in Buddha yet they aren't forceful like a lot of other parents. It's not that I don't believe in God, it's just that I don't agree with a lot of Bible quotes. To make matters worse, I live in a town where Christianity is very forceful...ehh..drives me insane. I've been to a few Christian church camps growing up and I find it interesting...Anyway, Damn, Man, now I feel like an oddball :screwy: because you all are listing every religion BUT Buddhism ...
well at least I have a fun car? lol

I agree and understand completely what you are saying. I go to basically hear about God and have my time with him. There are always these people who(towards us who believe that is)say that "there is always time for God. I go to church to make my time. I do agree that the temple of which God speaks in the bible is no building but ones own heart.

I was baptised and confirmed in the Anglican (Episcopal) church. I went to a Christian school and I find theology interesting (all religions). However, in my cynical dotage I know too much about Judeo- Christian belief systems and all their attendant shortcomings, contradictions and manipulation to believe in any of it.

So I am an athiest and very happy to be one.

im sikh.

Buddhist. I grew up Catholic, but never really got much from it. Too much faith required. I stumbled across a book on Buddhism in my mid-late teens, and started reading out of boredom. After about ten minutes, I thought "This makes so much sense." It was at that moment that I realized I had been a Buddhist all along.

To me it doesn't matter what religion you follow (or don't follow) just as long as you feel spiritually fufilled and at peace.

Hrmm I find topics which come under religion very interesting indeed. Im glad that people find a way to have hope through rough times and keep faith in their desired God/s. However in my personal opinion I do not belive in the catholic faith and find the bible contradictory for me to take it as a truth.
Before college I went to a catholic high school and found it sad how people so (to me what seems) blindly following and unquestioning what surely needs to be questioned. Throughout the ages *some* people of the church abused such beliefs to gain power over the faithful, religion is a powerful thing. Be it catholic, hindu, buddhist etc..
The most appealing of religions I have found though seems to be Buddhism..
For me I dont need to put my faith into a higher being because I rely on myself and only myself :smile:

However those who do choose to follow a religion I respect their decision as we are all different and no doubt have reasons why they've followed certain paths of life :smile:

Pentacostal.
Why?
Because I feel at home there and believe a lot of their teachings follow the Bible more closely than any other I have been to. I don't completly agree with everything but I disagree with less in the church I go to than any other I have been to.
Plus the Pastor is willing to take time to discuss anything I disagree with and when we disagree he is willing to accept our disagreement instead of trying to make me think the way he thinks.

im a wiccan..
