I'm a cabaptist, my moms a catholic and my dad's a baptist, the two most contradictory cristian religions rolled into me. I'm only baptized in the catholic church though, but I go to vbs at the baptist church every year.

Got disowned a couple years ago after I used my lightsaber to scratch someones itch.

Wouldn't recommend it.

That would generally fit under 'Agnosticism', btw.

That is, if it is indeed true that proof could change your opinion on the matter?

My mother is protestant Christian and my father is Catholic. Technically on both accounts I'm Christian if you want to make it easier.

In reality I'm a catholic who doesn't listen to what most of the rules tell me. Except the ten commandments. Those actually make sense to me.

Christian.

hmm..........im pretty agnostic. I go through phases to be honest. Sometimes im a complete athiest, and other times im verging on becoming a Buddhist. Im really interested in Hinduism and Buddhism, but i wouldn't say i believe in ther teachings.

I quite like being an outsider, and just observing all the religions. Its more fun that way.

I'm Jewish on Easter, Christian on Passover.

I tell my mother I'm Jewish, and my father I'm an atheist. Whatever makes them happy.

Christian. But I'm not a Catholic, a Baptist or any other. I am simple a follower of Christ.

I am a Biblical Christian. I believe in the God of the Bible. I also believe that faith in a supreme being is logical, rational, and reasonable. The more I learn about the world and how it works the more I am convinced that I have put my faith in the right place.

I would rather live my life as a Christian and die with hope of more to come than to live with no faith and die with no hope.

If I am right I win, if I am wrong what did I lose?

Yeah, that's kind of long, but I felt that I needed to explain why I believe what I believe.

Zionism. And the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. But I put Judaism because I am technically nominally Jewish religion. This isn't to say I'm athiest/agnostic...I beleve in God, I am merely secular when it comes to ritual and practice. If anyhing, Zionism (As I said above) is my religion.

Somewhere between agnosticism and atheism. I'd really love to believe in [a] god, but so far I've been unable to.

Atheism

If I am right I win, if I am wrong what did I lose?

Thats a funny question.

If you're wrong, you can still go to hell (for believing in the wrong god).

The polls dont lie, Christianity is the leading religion in this country, that means they hold more power over what goes on in the country than any other 'ligion.

But if you are wrong, and you have believed in another god all your life, but you have lived your life honestly and committed no crimes, then surely you won't go to Hell? That's exactly what I hate about religion, who or what you believe in becomes more important than what you do in life.

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.

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."

I very much agree with you. As I said before, that is exactly what irritates me most about religion: the fact that if you're wrong, you're going to Hell, no matter how you've lived your life.
