      Hey Susan. I don't want to derail the thread and turn it into something it was never intended to be, so I will answer you in a PM. I am at work right now, so it will be later in the day. Have a great one! :o)

      Thank you

      I used to be an atheist, but after an amazing spiritual experience, I have become a Christian.

      I'm a follower of the church of Richard Dawkins! This god bollocks has got to stop, aren't we supposedly 21st century 'enlightened' thinkers?

      Gee! Thats not offensive at all!

      I think the name gives it away but I wouldn't really consider it a religion, just some really good ideas that ask you to look at yourself and discover what makes you tick and maybe help other to do the same........ that's the simple version anyway. I like simple :smile:

      I study/read a lot about Buddhism. It's what I guess I can relate to more than any other, but i'm not a part of any sort of organized religion. Although I respect everyone's.

      Lately though, I'm starting to think the gym is my new relidion. Seriously.

      Agnostic. I don't have any particular faith or beliefs but I have an open mind and don't think I know enough to deny the possibility of something higher existing.

      I would like to add though that I've always been fond of the philosophy of Buddhism. I really like what a lot of it has to say.

      P.S. The fact that this thread has made it to 13 pages in such a calm, hate-free way is actually restoring my faith in humanity a bit. Well done!

      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!"

      So you understand me! :)
      I've posted nothing but saying that my father is Jewish, my mother is Christian and that I'm "more like my father"..

      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.

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

      People like to make sure their opinions are known. Just delete them.

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

      Cheers.

      I am Christian in philosophy, but not in formal practice. Meaning I try to live my life as a good person but am not a church goer and don't believe you have to be.

      this shows how we can talk about our different faiths and act like adults and get along nicely. no one being offended by another's response. so it should go back to anything goes and to keep it civil as we all have shown here today. we can have different views but still act like civilized adults.

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

      This is a really nice thread, and I think that we're able to have a pleasant discussion on religion or politics if we can all accept that we're not going to agree with everybody. Coming from a political science background, I talk mostly about religion and politics to almost everybody I meet, which puts some people off, but I can honestly say that I have never TRIED to offend anybody and I try to be as understanding as possible to other people's views. That's all it takes, a little understanding :flowerforyou:

      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.

      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.
