i don't believe in God or satan or whatever.. but i when i was little i always thought there was a undo button :wth:
I am religious. I am a Catholic, and go to church every (or almost) Sunday. Its good to have (any) religion. I cant stand Athiests :wth: .
Dude what's such a big deal? We're just being social and having fun. Do you expect only people to have 1 post and 1 reply per topic in order to be strict? Can't we just have fun?

And no, making jokes about bombing people because of their religion is not on topic.
I'm glad that u belive that there is a god. i too belive there is but i don't have as much faith as i did before. science tends to make more sense than god at the moment.
Just to not get anyone too upset, I'll just lay down the facts. I believe the same things Todd does. I believe in evolution, and the big bang theory. Although I once had to believe in it for preschool, I am really into science and the evolution of man. In 6th grade, my science brought up facts that went against what my preschool told me... So then I talked to him a lot about human evolution and so on. So basically I have become a non-believer. (I think) the scientific belief is that the Earth's evolution was started on accident :wth:; something like that. Anyways, so yeah, I don't believe in God, or any other religion because in my opinion and stress the "my opinion" part, please... That one should not put so much faith into one... man? Lately I've been coming up with theories that go against more I've read in the bible and some I disagree with, but let us not go there. Bottom line: I'm an athiest and I choose science over religion :chemist:. I hope I did not piss any of you off . Peace my friends, peace!....

yes i am a devoted catholic.. i often wpnder.. why does it seem that religion is the one building walls instead of the one to break barriers.. i do not believe that islam teaches violence as what osama bin laden and his followers are showing the world.. they keep on telling "allah told us to do this.. he is happy for what happened during the 9-11.. etc.. etc.. it is a shame that there are people like him who misunderstand what their religion teaches them.. i belive that islam is a religion based in peace.. for me, i do not really care what religion this or that person belongs to.. i try my best to convince them that God truly exists.. but if they really do not want to believe me.. then.. fine.. as long as they do what is right.. that is okay for me.. i think that the religion is there to discipline us and to be like our guide..
you better not be using that goddamned stereotype that says people who don't believe in god do all the bad and wrong things because I will prove you wrong in 2 minutes of arguing.

[/b][/quote] True 'dat! I am labeled with that stereotype in school. Just because I am an athiest and my style is... dark, I'm known as a 'trouble maker' or that everything I do is never for the best, when in reality, I'm one of the most behaved students in my school . Kind of weird how people can stereotype you and be like, 100% off .
I'm sorry guys if you misunderstood what I really want to say... Ok.. I do not loathe or hate atheists.. I do not care what religion people I meet belong to.. I have friends too who are atheists and Muslims.. but I have more Catholic and Christian friends since I study in a Catholic school.. We have different opinions and perceptions on things, matters and events.. As long as they do the right stuff and they have discipline, it's okay for me.. I want of course people to believe in God but if they want to stick to their scientific beliefs, then it is okay for me.. I respect the atheists' opinions.. I hope that was a clearer explanation.. Peace..
You're just putting more words in but really you're saying the same thing. Not everyone believes in God.
it's okay.. i'll just keep off this thread because i might say something that will make you hate me.. peace..
I'm Lutheran, but I don't practice or any of that. I used to when I was a kid, but now I could care less. I mean, what's the point of going to church and hearing the priest yell at you about things you've heard 30 times over? Yes I know I should't steal, yes I know this and that is bad. It's like he's scolding you, or trying to attempt to make you feel bad for the mistakes you've made in life. And of course, the only way you'll feel better is if you let God save you. I don't see God here to save me, so I might as well save myself. I do believe in God though, and heaven and angels. But I just don't practice it or act like a bible thumper because I think it's going to get me the best spot in heaven. I'll probably go to hell for this, whoops.
You're absolutely right!!! Finally, someone who gets me!! Anytime I happen to go to church (once a blue moon) I get scolded at. It's a big parent lecture of "don't do this" and "do that" kind of thing. Don't think you're going to hell for expressing your mind, dude, because that's what they want you to think. What do they know? I feel that my relationship with God should be natural. I talk to God sometimes casually because he's my friend, right? They tell me he's my friend so why can't I just talk to him and treat him like a friend and not some royal king? I think people kiss God's ass too much and I'm not one of those. I don't go to church because if I want to get scolded at, I can stay home and hear it from my parents. People act so fake just to get into Heaven, but you know that's not how they really are - they're doing it to please God. But I think God would be more pleased if I acted myself and apologized for my mistakes, talk to him, thank him - just like any other friend. Woo!
