Please outline your beliefs

[BrokeProphet]

I believe science trumps all.

I believe everyone is entitled to their personal beliefs but once you make these beliefs a public matter, they are open to scrutiny and will be laid bare by science.

I believe people can and should form little fantasy clubs where they can discuss there myths and folklore with each other. Again, the moment they enter the public light in any fashion they are welcoming all scrutiny and criticisms.

I believe a person or group of peoples beliefs should not affect a non-believer, IF said person or group lacks sufficient evidence to warrent such affect.

That is to say...keep thy religion to thyself.

1. The God of my life, is me. It's up to me to make good decisions for my own survival, and I'll suffer if I dont.

2. I dont even know that Jesus existed.

3. Any religion that tells me my god-given instincts (if you believe in god) are wrong, is complete bullshit.

As far as the afterlife, as far as I know, I havn't died yet, so I dont know. I can only speculate. The only proof I have to what direction god wants me to follow, is nature, wich tells me life is all about struggle and my own interests. Anyone with interests other than my own, is wrong and my enemy, and if I am capable, and it seems like my best option, I will do what I can to destroy them.

EDIT: one thing about the afterlife I do know, is there is such thing as a genetic memory. This is what instinct comes from. Animals dont have to be taught who they should run from, or who they dont have to fear. They dont have to be taught to have sex with their own kind, and reproduce.

What are your beliefs regarding what God is?
What are your beliefs regarding who Jesus was and his relation to god and us?
What are your beliefs regarding other religeons?

1. God is EVERYTHING GOOD. (Isn't that simple) Killing two birds with one stone, (Just a saying) Now you know what thSatan is. (Everything bad)
2. YESHUA is the ONLY begotten son of God, who died for our sins (without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins) so that ONE child could become many. The Father gave what He loved for love/family.
3. Doctrines of devils. RELIGION period, limits the Father. Religion is LEGALISM, that says things must be done in a certain ORDER otherwise you can't be 'SAVED' from wrath. The Father only placed one stipulation, "BELIEVE" saved by grace through faith. Grace means you can't earn it. Faith is because you believe. This is how Abraham became the Father of ONE nation? No! Many nations. Faith united the people into one. God's people.

God is a concept encompassing the whole of humanity. Man can do anything he wishes to himself or the world, if we work as a whole.

Jesus was a really smart guy who realized that people should be good to one another, doesnt that still make sense without religion?

Religion is a thing that makes people act crazy in massive numbers, so it seems normal.

[Merdoc X Sives]

1 Well god must be very bored, and have a sense of humor (duck-billed platypus, Africa, and nipples on a man) Also a sonofabitch with him knowing all that has happened, will happen, and is happening and going and creating Lucifer anyways.

2 Jesus was a good guy telling everybody that to get into heaven you have to be nice to each other (he even says you don't have to have any peticuler beliefs in invisible men) but was killed for it.

3 Most religions are full of shit, Buddhism is pretty good be nice, sit and think, go to nirvana

Im actually being active in this forum so ill lay it all out.

What are your beliefs regarding what God is?

For some reason, god created existence as we know it. Why? Don't know. When? Don't know. There is evidence to support evolution, and the universe as a whole being around for a while. So I am gonna go with the theory that it has been.

Now we are here, on earth. God wants are attention. He loves us, as his children. We cant possible give him anything except our devotion. So thats what he asks for. Why? Again, not sure.
God is love and so he has love for us. I guess his only request bing that have it in return.

What are your beliefs regarding who Jesus was and his relation to god and us?

When god created adam and eve. That was the whole product. Adam was everything a man is, and eve was everything a woman was. For whatever reason. God tested them. And they failed. Or more specifically, Adam failed. he, as the man should have protected eve, and stood up to the serpant. This was his call as a man. He failed. She.. was not rescued. Since then, the problem with men is they forgot how to be men, and the problem with women is there are not real men. Jesus was god showing us how to do it. How to be men again. This sounds REALLY sexist, but its what I beleive. Christ was god, was human, and died for all of our sins. And in doing so, rescued us. He taught women that real men exist, and taught men an example of how it works. Thats the current theory anyway. May be edited later.

What are your beliefs regarding other religeons? It seems that what I beleave doesnt leave any room for us to buy our way into heaven. unlike nearly any other organized religion. Thats why i think this one is the only 'true' religion.

[Visceral Ethereal Carpet]

people don't follow religions, they manipulate them.


having said that, a personal 'god' exists for every being capable of perceiving of it. god(sic) is a social construct created by individuals, its just the idea of which is manifest in societies. No two people's perception of god are exactly the same, a perception of god is just a reflection of an individual's highest idea of virtue.
This is how moral relativism and religious manipulation work under the guise of moral absolutism.
At best, religion is a way to help people to form their own morals based on a sense of social responsibility and mutual respect.
At worst 'god' is used to instill fear in people as a means of control. i don't think i need to expand on this point.

A truly moral person is somebody who doesn't rely on god at all for moral guidance.
Accepting a sense of existentialist despair will suffice when you are no longer gullible enough to accept false hope, and are free from the chains of religious obligation.

God was a blast of energy that started what we know to be our four dimensional universe (3 physical dimensions and 1 temporal dimension). Like in an extra-dimensional reality, this blast of energy just came by bumped into something, created our universe, and went on its way. Most likely, not even realizing it had created this universe.

Jesus was just one of many people claiming to be a prophet of his time. He, however, actually took the old Jewish Law from the time when the Jews were nomadic, and acted out what they believed would be the events that signaled to them that their messiah had arrived. He did this in a time when the Jewish Temple dictated law (the laws that weren't enforced by the Romans). Basically, he took his cult from a religious stand point to a political stand point, which caused the Jewish people to say Jesus was committing blasphemies towards their God.

By taking his cult into a political realm, he was able to make his religion more noticeable to the public over the hundreds of other religions and cults going on at the time. This, in turn, set his religion into the path of becoming a mainstream religion.

They are all the same. Because each religion was founded at different times in different place, the perspective of their creators were different. This is what makes each religion seem different from the next.

[swissblade]

I believe in 33 crore gods of hinduism.. why believe in ONE god?

Let me have some fucking choice god dammnit/

[Feds In Town]

I've probably posted something completely different in this thread, but here we go.

I believe that humans are just animals. We are not spectacular, or holy in any way.

However.

We do have the ability to unite and think, and we should follow the Golden Rule, and generally try to better our species.

I believe that because there are so many religions, all of them are false. Think about how fervently a Christian believes. He believes the Bible is totally true. Ok, now imagine he just happened to come out of a vagina in India. Same dude. He's going to believe in Hinduism. Wholly and completely. Why? Not because he has been touched by any GOD. because he was brought up that way. taught that this particular fairy tale was true. Children are very impressionable. It is taught alongside the fucking alphabet. it is true.

anyway, i probably didn't explain it too well.

but also, i am not trying to condone this death or poke fun.. i think it is very sad. i am by no means a dick, or an evil person.

but, it just can't be ignored.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,357046,00.html

ok, this dude has done great work for God. Converted many, provided inspirational music for Christians and praised God in his many songs.

Why did his child die? There is literally no reason God would want to take a 5 year old child away from one of his most famous, faithful servants.

It is ridiculous to think that God rewards those who are good and punishes the wicked.

In some places, it is stated that God WILL help you on earth if you are faithful, but in others, your reward is only in heaven. You can be shit on in life, but you will get some vague reward. Maybe a palace or maybe just..

The point is, all Christianity is, since the writing of the Bible, is speculation. The Catholic Church flat out makes shit up, and I believe that that is evil. It is an injustice to mankind to trick so many humans. That is bad humanity to me.

This was probably a really ridiculous write-up and I'm sorry for saying all of this.

There is just absolutely no one in real life I can tell this shit to that will listen without cutting me off.
