Most Americans believe in God. Most of these theists probably believe that they believe in the same God, although perhaps in different ways and suspecting that others have errors in their beliefs. A study of the actual beliefs which people hold about the god they claim to believe in reveals interesting and consistent differences in exactly what it is that people belief.

Why doesn't "Christian God" punish people swiftly, immediately after they commit "sins"?
The Christian God, who prescribes forebearance and forgiveness of every "sin", exercises none himself. He does the exact opposite.
A punishment which comes at the end of the world cannot have for its object either to improve or deter.
A punishment which comes at the end of all things, when the world is over and done with, is pure vengeance.
So is the Christian god just a vengeful god?

I suppose I should specify "ashkenazi" jews. I always here people refer to jews as another race. But arent jews white. I mean, judaism is a religion, right? .... not a race.

Is this an old tradition or was it added at some specific time in the past. Other branchs of Christanity do not perform communion during a marriage ceremony, so why do Catholics?

could our sins not be forgiven without Jesus dying a dreadful death???? If the Lord the father could create a whole universe, He couldn't decide on our sins the easy way??? why did He have to make His Beloved Son go through all that He went through???

Someone asked the question "Is it true that all beautiful women are crazy?" I answered " Sounds like pure sour grapes to me" Got a violation. How is that a violation? I must not understand something. The question sounds more like a violation to me. Insulting every beautiful woman seems rude to me.

I was wondering how your religion justifies covering up child molestation. I was raised a JW for 18 yrs, I was even baptized. When I was between the ages of 4-6 I was molested by a friends brother who was 16 and also a JW. When I told my parents they went to the elders and told them what happened. The elders told my parents it would be handled within the congregation, although nothing happened to the guy that molested me. No disfellowshipping, nothing. Just wondering what the JW's on here think about my experience. Any justification for what those elders did?? How can men who are supposed to be the leaders let something like that happen to a child.

... translations, interpretations and denominations.

I'm not judging. I'd like to understand how Christians resolve this. In particular, how do you know that you are living your life by the Word of God if your beliefs mismatch with others who believe the same and use the "same Book"?

I understand that there are a lot of people out there who think that the Bible is the true, literal word of God. I see where the word of God bit is coming from, but I don't understand why it has to be literally true. It seems that in the New Testament, Jesus tells a lot of stories to get his point across, but that no one thinks that there had to be a real good Samaritan or a mustard seed. Why, then, must there have been a six day Creation or a catastrophic flood? Why couldn't those also be stories that are more important for their lessons than their veracity? I don't mean to offend at all; I would just like to understand your point of view. Why do you personally believe that it has to be true?

I am a Christian, but my sister and my father are not, and my mother is but is very lax. Almost all of my friends are either athiest or some other religion, as well as certain relatives who I am close to. Assuming I do end up in Heaven (which no one knows for sure except God!) I have a feeling I'll be kind of lonely without my family and friends. So how do I save them without them turning away from me?
