Roman Catholic

I believe in my religion. What I don't believe in is the whole "I must show up everyone else when it comes to praying" thing. It's evident in quite a few Catholics I know via church. Were you listening to the Gospel reading about the hypocrites? Guess not, you were too busy screaming "thanks be to God!!!11!!"
I want to know more about Buddhism though, because, since the Vatican even says that other religions can be a path to God, that has got to be one of them.

The great thing about actual Catholicism is how subjective it is. Literal interpretation of the Bible? No. You have to celebrate mass this way? No, you can make variations(some variations piss me off though). Very few things in Roman Catholicism are absolute, and the eucharist is one of them.

I belive that we create our own reality, so if you belive in something strong enough it will be 100% real. as for me, I'm becoming more and more atheist everyday

um... amen stadric
but yeah that's one thing i love about the catholic church is that they are more sympathetic to other religions and don't take interpret the bible in a completely literal sense
but some of those people with those wwjd bracelets need to start asking themselves that instead of throwing the question at everyone else

I know how you feel, man. Just because I'm not singing along with your christian rock, doesn't mean I hate God.

IRT christian rock
It is one of the least imaginative musical genres. I mean, at least rap has some clever lyrics once in a while, but there should be a limit to how many times you can say alleluia in the course of a song. From what I've seen, christian rock consists mostly of refrains.

most the hypocritical people i know in this area are the ones going out and breaking every guideline they try to force on people, but whatever
another thing i have learned from the church is that instead of preaching to people and trying to change people through words you should instead show them through actions this is a much more meaningful way to teach such lessons and i believe a better way altogether which is why i don't walk around telling people to find God or they are going to Hell

but yeah christian rock is lame and takes less talent than goth punk
even worse: Goth for God people i mean...wtf

I don't do religion. I'd say I believe in science, but that sounds like scientology, which has nothing to do with science.

So yeah. No religion for me.

Meh im christian but I havent been to church for years.
I just do good things and help poor people - IMO that is much better than doing weird relegious stuff to go to heaven or whatever.
Im Anglican, and from what ive heard it is PART of their relegion to believe in evolution! So I think Ang's rock (With no offense to other faiths)

Scientology isn't as much about science as you'd think. Did you see the Southpark episode with Tom Cruise hiding in the closet?

I voted Other.

I'm a fairly spiritual person, but I don't follow any religion. My beliefs are my own, forged from what has happened in my life. I believe in God, I don't believe in Christ, or any other "prophet" figure. Established religion, or at least the devout followers that just take everything they're told as the gospel truth, sicken me. I don't know how someone can live their life being told what to believe. To me, in my opinion, spirituality is like a journey parallel to your life, and you should build your own beliefs according to your experiences, instead of having them handed to you.

Didn't you read what I wrote? I said 'which has nothing to do with science', to which you replied 'scientology isn't actually about science'.

So...

Sorry, I was tired and somehow that picture of Lord Xenu haunts me since days. I didn't know they actually believe in a crude sci-fi story about an intergalactic empire. Until recently I thought they were more of a scary but profitable psychological experiment.

if the point of religion is to explain humankind's relationship with the universe, then it's an exceptional person that can claim to have little or no interest in it.
science, scientology, or blind faith; take your pick.

QTF

IRT blind faith.
Not all faith is blind. If I expand on that, this will become a debate, instead of a demographic poll.

i'd guess at "quoted for truth" and "in response to", but they're not at all commonly used net shortenings.

is it really too much effort to type out three words? seems pointless using "acronyms" not widely known when 2 seconds extra typing makes your point clearer.

I'm appreciating the irony, and usually I try to abstain from any 'leet speak', aside from wtf and lol.

QFT: Quoted For Truth
IRT: In Response To
