it seems completely based on fear... you are born into sin...whatever that means... Then it's all repent repent or you will burn in hell.... Nonsense!!

Needless to say, I was kicked out of the Altar boys very quickly as a kid when I mentioned this to the parish priest....

JMO....

You can believe in God without believing in Religion.

Organised religion, any and all of them, are about man-made rules. They favour people who consider the "leaders" of religious organisations to be a higher power. How many Catholics are in awe of the pope? But he is just a human being at the end of the day. He has no power other than that in peoples minds.

Also..how many religions treat women as equal to men?
Catholicism? No. Judaeism? No. Islam? No.

Wars are started and maintained over Religion..not over God.

Sorry if I have offended anyone.

evolution is scientifically proven but that doesnt mean there is no god...

i believe in god and i believe in the truth of science. i do NOT however believe in any religion. I have a peronal relationship with god and have no time for being part of a religious group being told what to believe and how to think.

i DO believe in god but on my own terms and in my own way. My faith is deeply personal and i think thats how everyones relationship with god should be. If we all believed what we wanted and didnt try to force our beliefs down others necks then all wars - well most of them - would never have come to pass..

not a god from any book... thats for sure..

a higher being, but even sayin that is not right.. i have my own opinion of what god is but that is pretty complex i suppose..

just say, that i believe that when we die, it's not the end.

i dont believe god is a person, or an individual, or some dude with a big beard on a throne. God is a presence that is universal and all encompassing. but it doesnt matter what i think god is. it's all about what u believe urself. Even if u believe there is no god, then fair play. At least you are thinking for urself. that's the main thing.

I don't think evolution was ever proven. It was suggested...

But may I also suggest that humans were flown in on spaceships from another planet. Could have happened..
