What philosophy/religion do you follow?

I am a full-blown "Born Again" (a name people use at my school. supposedly an insult. I don't get it though)

I believe that God is the almighty savior and creator of all. I respect other religions too. I can see where they come from and they have just the same amount of freedom to express their religion and beliefs as I do.

I believe in the God of peace and love for all. The God who had his son born of a virgin in a stable ment for animals. The God who's for anyone and everyone. The God who died with all our sins layed apon his shouldures and died the most tragic and painfull death ever imagined. The God who conquered death and lived again!

Find me another god who can do that!

God bless you and may his love overwhelm you!

 

:smilielol5:Noel...of course!

 

Actually a few Gods and Goddesses were said to have risen from the dead throughout mythology
Also, wasnt it Jesus that rose from the dead in your religion, not God? Also, could you ask God to bring me an immaculate conception? Im tired
Good on you for being what you are and letting other be
Ill get off this thread now
:leaving:

:cheers2:

 

Well Jesus was God in human form was he not.

 

Yes it's a common feature of many of the ancient gods, Jesus was a bit of a latecomer to the whole rising from the dead business...

I thought he was his kid?
If our kid pops out and Scott declares a mini him is now on Earth Id be mightily miffed
Also what i read of the Jesusy parts of the bible, he was mellow and peace loving and generally a nice guy...now the parts I read about the Christian God gave me nightmares as a kid, tbh

 

I agree Jesus does seem to be mellow and peace loving whereas God is dominant and powerful, which follows there roles. Depends how you look at it I think. I can't say God has ever given me nightmares though!

 

In ethics we had to write an obituary for God, and in it I stated that Jesus was rebelling against his Father's willfull ways by being a peace loving hippy and that this annoyed God so much he was moved to crucify him...

 

Definitely a different way of looking at it

 

Heh I like that

 

some Shinto from when I was living in Japan and I have been known to say a few "Nam Myoho rengo kyo's" with my Nichiren Buddhist friend, but I don't subscribe to any religion really.

 

Compassion and self understanding.

 

The poll was biased in as much as the OP purposely split the atheist vote into 3

 

Hardly bias, Atheist doesn't describe anything except a lack of belief.

You can lump a thousand completely divergent philosophies in the same group if you're using "atheist" as the only identifier.

 

i follow the religion of science and logic.

its very good. :tongue:

 

And Lo! Richard Dawkins created the heavens and the earth, and he saw that it was good

 

Yeah me too but Im thinking of converting

 

convert! come to the darkside. we will be waiting maxi!

 

Im already there. I hate everyone and everything. I might kick something and spit int he street. Am I doing this right?
