Where are you on Religion?

[RyanEC]

I personally am a Deist meaning I believe in God but I don’t follow any organized religion.

I believe there may be something to Christianity and other religions but I think they often get corrupted and their messages get changed.

Christian.

Atheist/Agnostic.

Other religion.

Spiritual not religious.

[mattclark242]

I do pray sometimes. I think god is real. I do not think everything have be about Religion. I break the rules sometime. I just hope that god see that life is hard down here and most people do not want do bad things.

I do not see temptation as that bad . It like she so evil she most did something to him make him do the bad thing the temptation was there. I think that maybe some people just want be to together.

also science and religion do not go well together. What if when god said let there be light that was the big bang. science is not trying to disprove god they just want know how the world work.

maybe god could give science the key someday to how it all work and all the knowledge in the world.

I don't know if I believe in god enough. I hope I do. I do not get why the rules are why they are I get some of them but not all of them.

I no we not supposed to question god and god rules. But I want know why they are what they are and what so bad about them.

[strateguy632]

sure you can question. if you ask polite i promise to be polite d. m. me i invite you.

[mattclark242]

@strateguy632 Ok how do I dm you?

[mattclark242]

@strateguy632 How do I know if I believe in god enough. ? Why is sex before marriage wrong? why is masturbate wrong? Why are condom wrong? why people not believe in evolution or hate it? Did god make evolution as a way to make human one day? Like how I put things hot oven know I will get a cake in an hour. Is a day a day in the bible? why did Christians kill people who do not believe in the past? Why did god let baby die and women die. why can we wear cotton in the bible? why can we spill are seeds? why can we mix to crops? what does the bible say about lesbian women?

[strateguy632]

sorry for delay! @mattclark242 i was only "instructed to go to past answers" last night!
1, How do I know if I believe in god enough?
belief is a thought so any thought is enough no "degrees or magnitude".
2, Why is sex before marriage wrong?
a, jesus never said that was a sin. the opposite jesus said fornication is when a married person did it other than spouse. or anyone did it with a married person. see mat. 5.32.
the whole list that christians bring to forbid it are that word forn which jesus defined as violating marriage.
next...

[strateguy632]

3, why is masturbate wrong?
jesus never said that was a sin. the story of onan was in the law of death but law of jews are not for christians for example the jew festivals in leviticus 23.
4, Why are condom wrong?
that was a catholic idea. no source. related to onan but as above not for christians.
5, why people not believe in evolution or hate it?
the original evolution as specified by darwin himself! did not deny creation, i paraphrase his longwinded sentence: from one species into which got life breathed (genesis chapter 1) many other species originated.
next,

[strateguy632]

5b the problem with evolution is if they claim evolved without god then christians insist on god.
6, Did god make evolution as a way to make human one day? Like how I put things hot oven know I will get a cake in an hour.
correct. in addition to god making humans directly, also other humans evolved from apes.
7, Is a day a day in the bible?
yes 24 hours, except in the parables such as genesis chapter one etc. it was just a lesson not a history.
8, why did Christians kill people who do not believe, in the past?
catholic popes used inquisition to torture and kill anyone who differed from catholic. this was not obeying any commandment in the new testament.
next,

[strateguy632]

9, Why did god let baby die and women die.
if you mean someone in your family that is painful. in general, god does not do miracles to "interfere" except for special situations. however earthquakes etc. god does not do miracles.
10, why can't we wear cotton in the bible? cotton is mentioned in book ester we can use or wear cotton. jews must not mix wool with linen but that was commanded to the israelites therefore not for christians. why can't they? because only the high preist can and needed to separate the high preist.
11, why can we spill are seeds?
biblicly just because jesus never forbade. also technicly because male seed has half the chromosomes so not real human yet. but generally because not physicly possible to store in body for years.
12, why can we mix two crops? a command to israelites was not to mix plant seeds together but that was to israelites not to christians. why can't they? because it can create a new strange fruit like grafting trees. but we can.
13, what does the bible say about lesbian women? old testament did not forbid but new testament was stricter in book romans chapter 1.

I do pray sometimes and think of God. I stopped going to church a long time ago. For me, the church does not represent your connection with God. There are too many fake priests that have infiltrated churches to push their evil ideologies. I believe in a higher power because Karma truly exists. Only a god can control Karma.

[VforVindication]

But i do have to admit that religion does help for a stronger family foundation and making lots of kids.

[RyanEC]

I find a lot of contradictions and ridiculous ideas in religion.

Such as.

God loves everyone but tortures people who don’t believe in him.

You are born bad because of original sin which you aren’t responsible for.

Your heart is wicked and you shouldn’t trust it.

But I realize there are other interpretations.

[VforVindication]

I honestly don't think we'd be all be better off as atheists. And you have demonic teachers turning little kids into transgender freaks so that is definitely not better. You didn't have that when religion was a part of school. You didn't have transgender studies. You didn't have these abominations you see today.

[VforVindication]

Thank you for the MHO 👍🏻

[EricSummer]

I have no religion.

I do not think the label "Atheist" describes me well. It is true that I do not believe in any gods, but I do not believe in fairies, either, and I do not think that makes me an a-fairy person or similar nonsense. It just comes naturally to me.

[strateguy632]

good points, nobody is a-dragon because not real so the essence of atheist is rejected someone real.

[BootsLover94]

God is real but I do not go to church. I do pray everyday

Religion in general are just corrupt and full of hate

[AviatorTom]

I was raised in a semi-religious family but I now longer practice. I still have some of the basic beliefs, others not so much.

[BCRanger10]

Christian, specifically traditional Catholic.

[loveslongnails]

I believe the teachings of Christ are good things, and I believe many churches have fucked that up, especially the Catholics and today's Evangelical fascists! I also believe no one should inflict their religion on anyone else.

[Lara_Croft]

What do you Mean yoh don't follow any religion. You are clearly confused, Jesus is Lord. Repent and believe in the Gospel

[strateguy632]

true, but a wise god would send prophets to update, for example jeremia and later jesus the last prophet. once we have written record.

[strateguy632]

and here too christian win not only most points but FIVE times other religions combined! also more than both atheist and agnostic combined.

[genericname85]

i'm actually quite annoyingly particular at that point. i'm an atheistic ignostic, apistevist and secular humanist.

[RyanEC]

I consider myself a humanist but I still believe in God.

[genericname85]

i'm an ignostic. that means to me the question whether there is a god or not does not matter, cause that does not evidently have any impact on reality. and i'm an epistevist, which means i reject "faith" as a method to know something.

[RyanEC]

Interesting I have never heard those terms before.

[Anonymous]

I know God exist and I'm thankful I am one of the few people that do but I don't rock with religions. They have the truth in them but they usually misinterpret it.

[Julie4]

How can an uncreated being (God) exist?

[RyanEC]

That’s a question that is impossible to answer.
But it is worth pondering.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Man didn’t create G-d. We believe that G-d created man. The Universe is real; who created it?

[strateguy632]

to jul, content uncreated, simple spiritual beings are different than physical born beings. you could claim rocks can exist forever never die ergo eternal infinite past too, unborn uncreated, but science ageeed with Christianity about the "beginning".

[Staximus]

I believe that anybody who thinks they know what happens after they die is a delusional fool.

[goaded]

Uninterested, until it encroaches on my life. It's useful for funerals.

[Anonymous]

Deism sounds like blind faith. I'm not religious but I Believe in God but due to understanding.

[___Clara___]

I am agnostic.
