Thread: Religion

Raised as a non-denominational Christian, under the pretenses that Man will always screw things up if given the chance.

Thus, I'm not really a subscriber to the idea of "religion."

I mean, religion is basically just men trying to put their own spin on God's ideas, seeing how they can benefit from it.

Look at the pope, and Catholicism. What a joke!

I have been raised Catholic. My mom is die-hard while my father pretty much just goes to church (sometimes) because of my mom. I used to believe in these things but now I don't, at all. I believe that the bible (etc.) brings good messages on a moral point of view but it pretty much stops there. I believe that there is some form of "God" but I don't regard it as a "Personal God", in other words I don't believe that there is a God who watches over us to make sure we act according to his "law", I don't believe there's a heaven or hell...more like something created us and just created the evolutionary spark and left it at that.

So you're a Deist, basically?
