I totally get you dude I have been going to a christian school for 7 years since 3rd grade, I am a Chritian but just not a very good one haha, me and my friends don't realy like the people we are around at school or church. In fact we mess around and make fun of eachothers churches and their pastors because they are almost like cults (Quite a bit of rape jokes go down). I have learned more religion from better people at my school not my church because there is no real denomination, religion is a good thing but I personally hate churches or at least all the ones ive been too.

While I guess I'd consider myself atheist myself, atheists are 100x more annoying with their bitching about how god isn't real and they're oppressed by religious people or whatever than religious folk are with trying to make their religion more popular or whatever bullshit atheists keep bitching about.

Sorry, kind of felt I needed to get that out of me

haha i wasnt trying to start an argument, I am a Christian but personally i dont think i represent myself well as one and think I would just make a fool out of myself trying to argue with you given the fact I am not a very strong Christian (which needs to change), I personally have no proof that atheism is wrong. I would recomend you go somewhere else to learn about God and all the wonderfull things he has done and will continue to do for everyone. ps. I dislike churches too and most of their atendees, some worship their pastors as a God and I dont like it, some of them almost seem like cults

ehhhh... to a degree most churches are screwy because of denomination, i do not donate to my church for that reason sir, religion also would be well "unorganized" without a church so I in general dont like churches but i get my religion at school, no denomination no certain beliefs just all the basics brought to you by well intending teachers, to me its the perfect place to practice religion

You started a thread on religion, then said you don't like atheism. The argument was started as soon as you hit post. And you'll have to suffer the consequences.

I don't identify with a religion because it all seems pretty ridiculous to be honest. Then again I fucking hate listening to athiests spend all of their time bitching about how much they hate people that do follow a religion. Get a hobby.

I'd say there is some sort of higher being/power because I don't believe in the concept of creating something from nothing.

I was raised Anglican, but I wouldn't say I believe it word for word. As long as you're doing no harm to anyone else, I see no problem with enjoying a tradition and culture, and finding a spiritual meaning in your life. The concept of a loving god can be comforting. I can't stand it when people hide behind religion as their excuse to discriminate and continue living in the dark ages though.

Basically I'm neutral. Really people should just be nice to each other.

idk man its all personal opinion but in the end its all about faith, i dont know if Christianity is real but I rely on faith, and I must say it is a good feeling knowing you have the almighty God watching your back. In fact its how i tought myself to go to sleep even if i was scared when youger, I knew that God had my back and if anything happened it was for a reason and with faith in a truly good God i knew that the reason had to be for the best in some way

At least from my personal experiences, some are a lot more worse than hardcore bible thumpers. It's bad on both sides I think. I'm neutral on this stuff. I don't care what religion you're into, just don't cram it down my throat, and attack me for doing different things.

My family just really didn't go growing up. My parents went a little bit as kids but our families really aren't particularly religious. I've only been to church for a couple funerals and a wedding ceremony. That's it.

Just curious, but what denomination are you? In regards to religion, I think that it's generally a good thing, because it often times teaches solid values, but a lot of people misinterpret what's being taught. Those people are often a vocal minority, unfortunately, which kind of gives religion a bad rep with some people. Personally, I'm indifferent on my own faith.

Agnostisism- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism



Organized religon provides a sense of close knit community, and a coping mechanism for tradgedy. It is an extremely beneficial thing. for every bad thing caused by religon, there are bazillions of equally good things.

Jews, Rastas, Muslims, and Christians all worship the EXACT SAME GOD. Abraham's God. One in the same. Its shitty that in a land of "freedom of religon" this country still puts non-christian religons on a lower pedestal.

I am Agnostic leaning heavily towards athiest, though i was raised Lutheran, my parents are the most active members of our church, and i plan to start my children in the Lutheran church. I think it is a great institution.

hahaha crap dude you got me there, i wrote a paper about it a year ago and I know we originally derived from one that was a mixture of 4 others one of witch was congregationalist, the church decided to change but the congregation didnt want to so they changed name but not teachings haha its realy confusing but now I think we settled as UCC or United Church of Christ. We sprinkle not dunk if that could give some insight idk look it up on the website if youre realy interested, this is one of those churches im okay with not too cultish haha

If it were a vocal minority, gay marriage would be passed every time it came up to a vote. Not bashing religion, my church (although I don't consider myself religious I do still occasionally attend church) supports gay marriage but that is definitely the minority among religious groups. The majority of religion is anti-gay

Lutheranism is a good denomination, never been to a lutheran church but I know they pretty much directly follow the teachings of Martin Luther so that couldnt be awful hahaha. And yes the church is in fact a comunity of believers and a very important part of Christianity. The church that most the kids in my school got to is just realy really sketchy, there pastor has some weird ideas and the people there just love him for some strange reason but to me hes creepy (I think he's in a cult or some weird secret society). For me in my town there are no "good" churches I honestly have some issues with my own church but it is the best around to me. and if you dont mind me asking how old are you?

vocal minority = non vocal majority.

just cause a church is against gay marriage DOES NOT mean people in its congregation are.

interesting you bring this up, well I am still deciding what I believe about gay marriage but if i had to choose now id say it is wrong, very wrong according to the Bible. But God tells us to love everyone, I think that churches should allow gays to attend as long as they arent flaunting it around and that former gays who are now straight should be allowed to worship at the church (everyone should be alowed) the problem is that some churches completely reject gays from their congregation which is not what the Bible tells us is right. personally im a bit of a homophobe but I know an older openly gay man that im near alot and i feel totally fine around him because he isnt flaunting

ahhh evolution vs. creationism well my school teaches that the earth is young while my dad believes that the 7 days taken for God to create the earth where "God" days, what I mean is that God used evolution to create the world im not sure which I believe but i dont worry about it because either way they arent factors to whether or not I'm going to heaven

I never mentioned homosexuality, because that, unfortunately actually is against church doctrine. But, just because the church as a whole supports an idea, doesn't mean that the followers do as well.

I am atheist and i believe in science and things I witness. Personally i think any religion is kinda ridiculous. But i still respect people who dont think the way i do and believe there's ''something'' but it just dosent makes sense to me..

Homosexuality is wrong. however the Bible tells us to love everyone and to let everyone get the chance to worship Him the one true God so that they may repent their sins and have eternal life in heaven.
A unrepenting homosexual cannot go to heaven

Adam and Eve is so obviously total bullshit. The earth is billions of years old and the universe is even older. Why can't "God" have been the one that created the big bang and have put evolution in motion? I feel like "God" would be more interested in designing something and then letting his designs play out and see what becomes of it instead of creating us the way we are now. Honestly that scenario is as plausible to me as two balls of energy just spinning in emptiness until they collide and create the universe

I understand man I have doubts every day even now as we speak, but you have to rely on faith I am not a perfect person and neither are you but God forgives us of that, the only thing is you gotta have faith. nothing can truly be proven with science, not evolution, not creationism, nothing it all comes down to what you have faith in

I have nothing against Atheists or People of religious faith, Its when they spew their bullshit on me that makes me hate them. I find atheists are extremely bad with this, and thats why i can't stand those atheists the same goes with christians that do the same thing. Believe what you want, but leave me the fuck out of your beliefs.

im gonna chime in on my own faith.
I have been thinking a lot about what i believe in lately and have come to the conclusion that faith (christianity in particular) is something that should be left to an individual, not a group of people or an entire church to tell you what to believe.

Personally, I base my faith off of my own logic and not on others, for awhile i did not believe in god but after looking into evolution i came to my own conclusion that there must have been a creator in order for everything to begin.

believe in what you want to believe in, if you are an athiest, I do enjoy a solid religious/ morals debate so PM me anytime if you wish to do so.

as for christians being against homosexuality STOP FUCKING LISTENING TO CNN ABOUT BAPTIST BASHING for christ sake its getting old and there are other more serious things to get your panties in a wad about.

Now see, while that may be true about not proving things 100% like evolution we can still provide legitimate logical conclusions backed by data as opposed to blind faith because God told me so
