Religious Beliefs

What are your religious beliefs?

I chose Buddhism in the poll. I was raise a Buddhist, went to the temple often. As I got older, I don't practice anything unless it's a special occasion such as Cambodian New Years, Chinese New Years, death ceremonies, etc. I don't really know where I stand anymore and I don't want to say I don't care for religion because I do have some sort of belief, but I really don't. I'm sure that will change in the future, but for now, my religion and your religion is the least of my concerns.
 
Just going all mini-mod right now, how about we stop this before it spreads anymore? This is just a question. The author of the thread asked what you believe, not why. I understand it's not that bad right now, but I've seen plenty of these threads, so I vote that we stop this before the thread gets killed. And this isn't just directed at you. I'm not attacking anyone, I'm just saying to calm it before it starts.
Sorry, I just don't think it's right that I'm told that I'm wrong for not believing in god...

On a plus note, last week me and my friends celebrated Hanukkah with one of my Jewish friends, it was really fun and interesting, it was my first taste of Jewish celebrations.

I understand. Like I said in the edit, it wasn't just at you. In order to have a rather civil conversation involving the topic at hand, attacking or arguing about anything will have to stop. It's not that debating is bad, but let's face it, every time there is a "debate" on this forum, it evolves into a rather nasty argument where everyone is just insulting each other.
 
Haruhiism
I'm an atheist who pretends to be Christian. Although I do believe that when we die, we get reborn as barnacles.

I am an atheist. I was raised to be a Christian, in a very Christian location of the USA, but in the end I only believed because I was raised to, not because I had any reason to myself.
 
My extended family is extremely Catholic, but our parents made the (smart) decision to raise me and my sister religion-free, so that we may choose whatever religion (if any) that we want when we're older and wiser and can think for ourselves. Too many children are basically brainwashed by their parents into their beliefs and my parents didn't want that for us.

So far none of the religions make sense to me at all. I've dabbled in Buddhism, but for now I am Agnostic.
 
For anyone interested, Channel 5 (In the UK) is showing a series about the stories in the Bible, I haven't personally watched it (It's on when I normally head of to bed) but the trailers I have seen make it look quite interesting. Though from some reviews I have read, most people have said it is overly dramatic... The first two episodes are on Demand 5, so I might watch it later and the next episode is on the 14th December.

I is Catholic, but I'm not the one to shove it down your throats.
I have to go to church every Sunday, it's pain though.
 
I'm agnostic and I don't mind if you have different beliefs than I do, so long as you don't;
a) Shove it down my throat.
b) Think of me as some disgusting person because I'm not what ypur precious book says I should be.

Ya'll debating about debating :-}
 
Athiest. I don't care if people are religious though. In fact, I can definitely see some benefits to religion for some people. I just don't like it when people treat me terrible just because I'm not whatever flavor of religion they practice. I will treat people the same no matter what religion they are, so I only ask the same in return.
 
I use to be a Christian until I came to terms with my sexuality so now I'm nothing. Don't really know what to believe either.
