Your Religion

NOTE: IF YOU DONT HAVE A RELIGION PLEASE REFRAIN FROM POSTING IN THIS TOPIC BECAUSE I DONT FEEL LIKE READING: "OH RELIGION SUCKS, THERE AINT NO GOD BLAH BLAH BLAH." ALRIGHT? ALRIGHT.


My religion is Christian but I'm not really leaning in to a certain type of one. (Catholic, Jewish, etc.) But if I were to fall into a certain Christian category it would most likely be Babtist.


you?

[Lifrasthir]

Christian...don't go, "What kind of Christian?"

Ragnarok: You seem to like these kinds of threads don't you?

[Allen Walker]

Well this is a Serious Discussion board and this type of conversation is serious. Plus I just love filling my post count up.

[Askyria]

[Alphonse]

[N O C T E]

Christian.

I'll post anyway, even if I'm far from ranting about it o_O.

Anyway, I'm agnostic if anything. I'm starting to lean towards atheism though, but... meh.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Wow, there really is a lot of Christians in the world, not that I don't like them, since ALL of my friends are Christians :nod:

...But I'm a Buddhist... must have something to do with living in Taiwan and in a VERY religious family in my early years

[Askyria]

I used to be Buddhist (well not really, only cause my grandparents were) but we converted awhile ago. Actually, we weren't really buddhist to start with. =/

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

lol my mom got religious when my brother got super sick and almost died, I was the same way too, but I'm not going to go into detail...

[Allen Walker]

Not to be rude or anything, but why do Catholics always show Jesus dead?

[N O C T E]

Well, I am not Catholic, but I think it might be because he died for us to have new life, so even though in the picture he is dead, it represents new life for the world.

[Lifrasthir]

Couldn't have said it any better myself L-A. I think it also shows the ultimate sacrifice. "For the wages of sin is death". But Jesus beat that when he, pure and innocent, died for us on the Cross.

But, um, wasn't he ressurected? And how does dying benefit us? :blink:

In any case, I'm atheist. Well, not really. I'm not too sure about the whole omnipotent being thing. It could exist, it could not. It's just the logic of the Bible and its views on God I don't care for much. So I guess that would make me more agnostic than atheist, but I think I'll stick to atheism for now.

[Lifrasthir]

But, um, wasn't he ressurected? And how does dying benefit us? :blink:

You want me to witness to you?

[Allen Walker]

The reason why I dont like the Catholics showing Jesus dead is because he's alive.

[N O C T E]

But, um, wasn't he ressurected? And how does dying benefit us? :blink:

The story is that Jesus was God's son, and God sent him down to earth which was full of sin, and that when God had his son killed it showed the ultimate sacrifice of love for us, the sinners who are unworthy. Also, it is said that when he died for us, he died for our own sin, so that if we commit ours lives to god, we are adimitted into heaven.

TF can most likely explain better than I.

Yeah, I saw him in Tesco buying fruit :nod:

I wish I could flame you but I've already been banned once and I don't want to do to be again

[niinag]

Why are you wearing a tag of a character that tried to play god?

[N O C T E]

I concur.

[Allen Walker]

What does this that have to do with Religion?

[Kitmitsu]

You've earned yourself a 5 point warning Ikky. Stay out of the Serious Forum if you can't act it.

[niinag]

Ugh gawdz.

[Kitmitsu]

...Anyway I'm not religious, not really sure what my beliefs are. I think I'm Church of England on my Birth Certificate but my parents aren't really religious either. Also Ragnarok, in your first post you say you aren't into a type of Christianity but you use Judaism as an example. It isn't a denomination is it? :P

[Allen Walker]

Uh well, I am Christian. >.>

I meant that I didn't fall under a certain category of one. i.e- Catholic, Jewish, etc.

The church I go to isn't a certain Christian type church its just a "Praise the Lord" church. ya know.

[Kitmitsu]

Ohhh! I've not actually heard of them :P What texts are used in your church then?

[Allen Walker]

Uh....the Bible. :/

Let's just put it this way. I go to a church that isn't Babtist, Catholic, whatever type there is. Mine is just a "Be thankful/Glory to God/Praise Jesus/etc." type of church.

[niinag]

You missed homosexual discrimination. :/

[N O C T E]

Ohhh! I've not actually heard of them :P What texts are used in your church then?

You mean like King James or NIV?

[Lifrasthir]

The story is that Jesus was God's son, and God sent him down to earth which was full of sin, and that when God had his son killed it showed the ultimate sacrifice of love for us, the sinners who are unworthy.

Don't sell yourself short L-A. That was a good explanation.

[N O C T E]

Don't sell yourself short L-A. That was a good explanation.

Don't worry about me selling myself short. I am a serious pessimist.....;)

[Ultima Star]

I'm a catholic. All my family is catholic so it would have been weird if I wasn't XD
But, yeah I like my religion and really believe in God, Jesus and the holy spirit, and I also believe in Jesus' mother, Mary^_^

[Mavericc]

I'm an inactive member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I haven't been to church for a very long time. Though I did make an exception this year and accompanied my formerly-estranged mom, on Mother's Day.

It was nice.. but it was kinda weird.
I would however, love to go back to church someday. :wub:

[tushimo]
