Forum : Off Topic : Religion

I am very not religious.

I'm not either, well not in Christianity. You may opr may not recall that I am Pagan. I worship the Sun god Apollo.

I do break the ten commandments sometimes. Like, I sometimes curse at my parents.

I'm not too religious. Where I stand on religion is pretty hard to explain and not very lucid either D:

Haha, Jenny, your views on religion are complex?

paganism, I like to think, is in the form of a tree. with this tree, there are many branches. i, personally, study the branch of Wicca under paganism, but there are several other branches as well...

I don't know where I stand with religion really. I was Christened when I was a baby, but my family never brought me up to be a Christian. I have Christian friends and my boyfriend is a devout Christian, but he knows not to push the issue with me. I have been to church a couple times with him and while it was bearable and I respect his beliefs, it wasn't really for me.

I am undecided with what I believe in - I like to think there is something, but I am unsure what and I am quite happy this way. I am interested in Buddism and Paganism andwould quite like a Pagan wedding ceremony, but I don't think it will happen!

So how do you all think about the Islam then?

(X_x) In all honestly, most of the religions out there are flat out confusing to me... Islam? I don't know too much about it, but I've got an open mind :)

A delicate subject. Of course, everybody can believe whatever he or she wants. What scares me is people who think their religion is better than somebody else's religion.

It may surprise you, but I'm an atheist :-)

but i'm not sure im religious and i have looked into wicca a little, and Islam ive read some of the Quran and really dont a gree with what it says. one verse really turned me off to it. it said (im paraphrasing) give the "pageans" a chance to convert and if they dont wait for them ambush them toture them and kill them. it was chapter 9 verse 5 i dont remmeber which book i can find out and will post it

I think some of the main religions are a bit too strict for me, I like to just see where life takes me instead of sticking to a set of rules - I have principles and beliefs, of course, but I find daily life confusing enough without having to do lots of rituals and things, although I completely respect those who choose those religions and find time to worship their deities.

exactly me and rules were never freinds, and i dont like too many. i just go with the flow and belive whatever sounds right to me

I'm a Christian myself, and as far as understanding it goes, it satisfies all of my questions (I'm very inquisitive, and couldn't just believe something without being convinced it were true). To me the concept of all of our problems stemming from selfish pride makes a lot of sense, and that's the cornerstone of Christianity (rebelling against God and wanting to be our own gods in the garden of Eden).

In practice, of course, it's a lot harder to live up to, because becoming a Christian didn't just make me no longer selfish or prideful. But whenever I do lower my pride, good things happen, and I improve as a person.

despite your views and believs,i believe there is a God and that He loves you.
i truly hope that one day u will wake up from this self destruction path that your on

Her path of self-destruction?
Please.
That's the most ignorant thing I've heard today.

Not any type of organized religion. Not even a week ago I used to be Wiccan, but I wasn't too crazy about the restraints. So now I'm a Witch, alongside my mother.

i agree on some levels because i feel like every religion iz puttin a tad bit 2 much pressure on both its believers and non believers / as a christian however i love everyone equally and definitely will never ever change nor will i try 2 convert others 2 believe with me / everyone has a moral rite 2 do there own thing!:)
