Religions!

Think about it...

*thinks about it* Chu is still lost. The only thing she can think of is the common misconception that females are more intelligent than males. xP

I'm Christian. Though *gasp* I find other religions fascinating, and I enjoy studying about them.
Especially the Egyptian and Greek religions. I've always love to read about them [:
Though it saddens me quite a bit when I see others talking down on someone for their beliefs, as though they are better then them. They talk with such pride, I guess it makes them feel strong. When all it really does is show how weak they truly are.

The Greeks are amazing all together, of course they have an interesting religion. xP

I honestly despise people like that. It only shows how immature they are.

"Haha! My god is better than yours!" = "Haha! My Hot Wheels are better than yours!" :/

[Catghost]

It's not just the "My God is better then yours" people, but also the atheists and others who talk down on those who do believe their is a God(s)/practice a religion.

Oi! You believe a fat man in the sky farted the world into existance? XD pfft!

kidding =P had to poke the subject

but yeah, I hate preachers

Between "your damned!" or "Abomination" or just the athiests stated above,

religion is just plain confusing =/

[Chu]

Oh, and I just love how some atheists bitch and moan about how they hate how Christians try to shove god and their faiths into their faces, but turn around and do the same thing with THEIR faiths. xP That's always amusing.

I think any religion, even atheism(its a belief in nothing being there, which is technically a beleif), is somewhat hypocritical at least once.

Which is why, I stay out of it XP

Wait, what am I doing here then?

[Chu]

There's hypocrisy in everything, yet we call people and things out on it because it's so intriguing to find the way that otherwise opposing things fit together.

I adore religions, even though the followers/believers do annoy me quite a bit sometimes. I continue discussing them though because my drive for knowledge is greater than my annoyance.

But sometimes atheists are worse than Christians in the hypocrite thing.

I too find many religions fascinating and like to do research on them.

I was raised Christian and was forced to go to many Penecostal churches when I was younger. Now, I still stand firm in my beleifs but I haven't been to a Sunday service in probably 10 years and I don't plan on going to one anytime soon. I don't like organized religion and I like to be respectful of other peoples feelings and beliefs. I don't really enjoy listening to a pastor talk about how bad others are for not living the same religious life style as his own. I believe that Christianity is the right religion for me, but that doesn't mean it should be the only religion.

I like learning about other religions so I took a class last semester and I learned a lot mostly about tribal religion.

In my religon and ritual class we learned about the totem spirits of the austrailain aboriginies, and the nubakula (dream time), and how it occurs during the spring and all the rituals.

then there was a tribe in afracia were them men had 9 spirits and the women had 8 <.<;; we didn't discuss them much.

I'm atheist, however I do like learning about religions, mostly pagan ones. I also love astrology and mythology. :3
I was raised to believe in anything I wanted to by my mother. (My parents got divorced when I was about three.) However when I moved in with my father while in middle school, he married a real religious Christian woman. Since then they were making me go to church every Sunday and such. They said I wouldn't have to go after I'm 16. However, I turned 16, and I never went to church, which caused them to get the pastor over to our house trying to figure "what was wrong with me." I told them I'm not religious an atheist and all.
Though currently I've been having an anti-Christian mood going on. Just in general, they've been crazy people, in the way they act and think they're the only ones on earth. (I'm talking about those crazy crazy Christians, I'm sure theres a few sane ones around somewhere on this earth). History proves Christians are silly though.
Though I'm quite the crazy person myself. ^^;;

I kinda feel sorry for christians, their ideals are fine, but most of the followers these days are just wackos

I mean I read "haven't been to church" in the last 3 posts! Something must be wrong then...

I guess you have to raise someone calmly, or else they resent it...

Forced religion is a paradox, it may be right, but it may be hated...

[Catghost]

I know some are real wackos, but my pastor had brought this up a while ago and he makes a great point.
Take a look at some of these "quiet" Christians, and then look at the outgoing and loud ones.
Which do you think is doing what their religion(or more specifically, Jesus) asks of them? The ones that don't care if you have not accepted Christ as your savior, or the ones who do care enough about you to be concerned if you have or not?
You really have to look at it through their eyes, as most only do that because they love you, and want you to be with them in eternal life.
