I'm going to have to go with Christianity although the point explained above is something I surely agree with. I'm just open-minded I guess and believe I believe in the New-Age too where spiritual awakening will hit us all. hehe

As to Christianity being the leading religion, sure, that's true, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Christianity itself is the one true religion. The majority aren't always right.

Its the majority, it doesnt have to be right.

People may get fussy about being called "Christians" when they are a specific denomination, but for me it's fine.

I do have an issue with that, I am a Christian (lit. follower of Christ) but as the practices I see in other religions do not harmonize with what Jesus taught in the Bible, I would not want to be identified with any other christian group. I really don't want to offend anyone, because I don't hate people of other religions, I just don't want to be involved in what other christian religions are doing as a whole.

So yes, I am a Christian but I prefer to be called a Jehovah's Witness.

BTW my friend from work says she is a Jedi Buddist. I don't know where that came from, but she says that is what she is.[/code]

I am one with the force.

I also, apparently, am a member of the Church of Dono.

In reality, I am, quite frankly, Jewish-Agnostic. Dad was catholic, mom was kind of raised Jewish, but all my family on this side of the country is Jewish, ranging from dreidel collectors/teachers at a private Jewish school in SoCal. And they like to stuff me full of food.

I'm Byzantine Catholic.

(In case you're confused, Byzantine Catholic was the religion of the Easter Roman Empire after the fall of rome. In the same area as Greek Orthodox and Ukranian Catholic.)

Church of Hot Addiction anyone?

xD

Mormon, same thing as Christian, so...

That's exactly what I hate about religion, who or what you believe in becomes more important than what you do in life.

Well, Im athiest, if I lived my life honestly (you dont need religion to have morals), am a contributor to society, and a generally good guy, what have I got to lose when I die? If Im right, I die, if Im wrong, I can still go to heaven, because its what I did in life.

Right?

So if we were to go on basis of that argument, being an athiest isn't much different than being Christian in the end, one just has different results of whos right and whos wrong. But if you were to eschew that argument, then yeah, to hell you go.

Because you can't deny that there are dieties that say "If you dont believe in me, off you go."

Personally, I beleive that heaven and hell iare divided into sections. It wouldn't be fair if the petty thieves and pick pockets were sent to the same place as Hitler, right? and prophets won't be with the same people who just barely made it. It just wouldn't make sense.

That's what I love about my religion lol

Atheist-Agnostic. In the narrow sense, I'm completely atheist insofar as I reject the Western conception of God and the organized religions based on it. But I'm also agnostic insofar as I have no definite opinion as to the existence or lack thereof of a higher power.

Where is Pat Buchanan?

Catholic.

Have you ever seen the South Park episode on Mormons? Saddest part is it is, in fact, accurate, much like the Scientology episode.

Mormons are the same as Christians?

I believe the concept of religion was summed up best in The Life of Pi, when he said that on their death bed, the atheist may cry out to God at the reality of his own mortality, while the agnostic may attribute the sudden tunnel of light as a failing of nerve cells in the brain, but in the end they've missed out on the better story.

Cameron: I can't help but feel you've got Atheist (does not believe in any sort of supernatural god) and Agnostic (neither believes, nor disbelieves) the wrong way round there...

Pushca: Actually, the South Park dudes didn't get the Mormon history right. Do you honestly think people would follow the religion if what South Park said was true?
