Religious views

I was reading some Bertrand Russell, and it ocurred to me that I did not know the religious views (if any) of my fellow NLSCers.

Myself as an agnostic, do not have any. In fact I despise the concept of massive religion, but nonetheless respect it as if it were my own belief.

I've put a list of the world's "major" religions, if yours is not there just put "other". I've also grouped Prostestants, Roman Catholics and other Christian views together as you can see.

By a virtual show of hands, where is everyone standing?

Roman Catholic right here

Christian

I think I am the only buddhist.

I'm not sure. I don't believe in Jesus, to me it was just a guy with a beard who was followed by a lot of people. God exists to me when I need a miracle.

Same w/ me.

Agnostic here. I live in the bible belt, so I always fall in the minority

You probably already found out but i'll just say it in here: Islam.

Hide. Riot is coming!

Lol. Yeah, I expected someone to make a Riot joke.

Protestant.

By the way, Roman Catholicism and Protestantism in completely different. One doesn't follow the Bible, and the other does.

Yay for Islam!

Buddhism

Don;t you mean the Pope? Almost everyJudeo-Christan religion/sect follows some sort of the Bible in some form, don't they?

The Bible wasn't written to be followed "in some form". It's supposed to be followed all the way.

Ummm, no. The first testament of the bible is followed by Jewish people, while the second testament is kind of left alone. And Christians don't follow 'the law' of the first.

And yeah, Roman Catholics and Protestants are different. But to say any religions are completely different is naive. Judaism, Christinaity, and Islam all have more in common then they have different.

edit: And I'm Christian. Not specified.

Totally agree there.

Buddhism

Oh shiet really ?

Thought i was the only one.

There are a lot of asians in this forum... so I wouldn't be surprised if u werent the only buddhist.

My own, self-improved, form of nihilism. Couldn't even begin to describe something like that with mere words.

Atheism.

I worship at the house of Dog.

I dont know if I have a religion. My family worships buddhism stuff, but at school they teach me christianity... So when I pray or say sth to a God, I dont know which God im talkin' to.
