    The taboo spin-offs will be what is your poitical affiliation and what is your sexual preference.

    Should be a fun day to see if mouses roar.

    Fot those who think that I started a controversial topic:
    Religion and politics are heavy subjects and people tend to get a little emotional about them.
    You're going to have discussions and disagreements. Either you dont talk about your beliefs or you deal with the fact that you have brought up a controversial subject and be prepared for some emotions. There's nothing wrong with educated discussion.

    I'm not imposing anything..


    This has actually been the most civil thread on religion I've seen here in a long, long time. :flowerforyou:



    Exactly! That's why I don't understand the emails people are sending me!

    Haha, people are sending you messages?


    Quite a few, actually! :(
    One of them told me to delete this topic - because I'm only "18 and I don't really have an opinion!"

    I wasn't aware there was an age limit for opinions......

    I'm a Christian, but with a lot of other teachings mixed in. More like a spirtualist through Christian teachings.

    In al though, the terms and labels don't define what I believe, nor do I let myself get stuck in my beliefs. I am ever changing and growning in my faith and spiritualism.

    ^^^ This is me.

    Better than guys sending various body part pictures and saying "Ur Hawt! Check out mah junk. Lez kick it gurl."

    Okay, that actually made this old prude laugh.
    Do guys get how utterly ridiculous-sounding that is?

    Oh dear me, did I just derail the thread...?:huh:

    I'm, like, an ordained Dudeist Minister, man.

    The Dude abides, man.

    What an interesting conversation - loving it!

    I myself am Episcopalian by birth. I have a relationship with Christ that is deeply personal and that, I hope, trancends religion. The Bible (my opinion only) was written and translated and retranslated so many times that I'm not certain it is the "Gospel Truth". We are all travelers here. We all want love, we all feed our souls the best way we know how. We love our parents, our children, our friends and neighbors. We go to work, pay bills, spend time with loved ones and do the best we know how.
    The name on the door of your place of worship is irrelevant. Be kind. Help where you can. These are the tenants of my faith.

    I don't claim to be perfect, but... I am pretty darn good with my morals.

    I decided to stop going to church (Catholic) when the priest stood up there and basically told us we had to vote for Bush. It was 2004. I decided that I make my own decisions; I'm not going to let someone stand up there and tell me I'm a "sinner" if I don't side with them politically. I figured it hypocritical for a church to be against abortion but for war. Both are killing, no?

    Anyway... my mom raised me with morals. I didn't have a sip of alcohol until I was 21, and even then, it was after my 21st birthday. I have never touched drugs or cigarettes. I am 32 years old and have only been with one person and he has only been with me (my now husband; we've been together almost 16 years now). I am open minded, not racist, not judgmental. I am liberal. I'm basically a hippie, minus the drugs. LOL.

    I am happy to go with my heart and conscience and I don't think it was the years of shame the Catholic Church bestowed upon me. Going to confession? I don't need that. I know right from wrong and when I make a mistake, I learn from it. I have compassion for other people and am always reaching out to help others.

    That said, I do respect other religions and I honestly do not care. I am supportive. My son goes with my MIL to church sometimes and I have no issues with him going. I will let my children decide what they want to believe and will not force my "agnosticism" on them.

    i started my own religion, the I DONT KNOW religion. because i dont know. Everyone has there theories but im not going to spend my time worrying about those things., when ever, I DONT KNOW, some thing i just say I DONT KNOW, then move on (unless its actually learning how to do something tangible ). I DO KNOW that, that lady was happy when i stopped and took time and changed her tire last week(and didnt drive by and pry she was ok) , Theres good and bad people , i like good people I DONT KNOW i just do. if at the end (assuming there is and end) and theres 2 sides i figure if im an upstanding human(in my opinion) they will both want me on there team (kinda like the voice) and i will get to choose . any way im the only one in my religion , Stage Dive and thrive , if it makes you happy

    I'm not associated with any particular religion. I think I could find aspects that I apply to my life from just about any religion.

    I believe in good morals, equality, respect for nature and choosing to help others. :smile:
