In the interest of fairness to all, please type in a paragraph about what you believe and we'll all read?

Question

Type a paragraph about what you believe, put this on your watch list. Tomorrow lets come back and read what everyone believes. Limit yourself to one or two lines.

This I believe:

I'm an agnostic reading the Bible and Qu'ran at home trying to figure out what life lessons I can learn.

Answer 1

This I believe:

I believe that the world is a very good place. I believe that I am lucky to have been born into it and I believe that I have a lifelong debt to try to pay back to the world in good all of the good that it has given to me. I believe that when you help another person, his smile is all the reward that I need. I believe that all humans are equal and that everybody is worthy of love and compassion. I believe that knowing there is no life after this one increases my conviction to make this world as good as possible. In a sense, I look forward to heaven the same way a theist does - I just know that the eventual heaven will be on the soil that I'm standing on now and that we, as people, have the power to make it so, instead of waiting for an outside force to deliver us from evil. I believe that, as nothing created us, we are all we have, and connectedness and firm relationships with other people are the true meaning of life. I believe that, at heart, all people are good and can be motivated to behave in a truly altruistic fashion; however, I believe that the selfishness that has infiltrated the world is largely because of people worried about their own personal salvation by an outside force. I believe that the world will be a better place when people see that salvation comes truly from within.

Answer 2

I believe it is better to ask forgiveness than permission; you get to do more things. I believe we should drop everything and start putting money into science-based education. I believe we could morally engineer DNA. I believe we need to redistribute the wealth, and ultimately do away with the wealthy. I believe people on welfare should be on birth control. I believe our government should supply every citizen with what they need to live an be healthy--why else would we have government? If our government disagrees, we should get a new one. Other countries are doing a better job with less. I believe we should begin impeachment proceedings against Prez. Bush, even if it cannot be completed, because it would mean something. I believe surfing is the source, I want to try it some day.

Answer 3

OK, this is gonna be rather tough to limit myself to only a coupla lines... But I'll try to make it brief and to the point.

I am a Druid. I work to try to bring myself closer to nature, being both the natural world and human nature. I believe in many gods, each representing a different facet of nature. These gods are not strictly divine, but are ancestors who became so memorable in life that they have been given god-like status.

Answer 4

I believe that God created the heavens and earth, the he created man special from all else, in his likeness. I believe we as humans betrayed that uniqueness and caused our separation from him.
I believe, that God out of his love for us provided an opportunity to reconcile that relationship through the life, death, and Resurrection of his only begotten son Jesus Christ,
I believe that Jesus, was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, that he died on a cross and came back to life.
I believe he ascended into heaven, and on day he will return.
I believe he is the only way God has put in place to reconcile us back to him, and as a christian I am obligated to share this news with the world.

Answer 5

I am a Christian and I believe Christianity is about relationship with God first and relationships with our fellow man flow from that.

I believe that we all get hurt in life and relationships because of the imperfection in the world caused by sin being in the world, but that we are healed in our relationships with God and each other.

Answer 6

I'm thinking...

OK -

I believe life is good, and even if it's all we get, it's still good.

I believe in being kind to people, whenever I can.

I believe in making things fun, whenever I can.

I believe in talking to children as if they are people.

I believe politics to be absolutely disgusting, and I want nothing to do with it.

I believe that religion is a tool of mind control.

I believe in doing the right thing.

I believe in love.

Answer 7

I'm an atheist and a Satanist.

Atheism, that's the denial of deities, and afterlife.

Satanism is self-worship. No christian devil here. It's the satisfaction of desires. We're animals, therefore have carnal instincts. We all are our own gods, and are free to accept it or not. Simple, and pleasurable.

Answer 8

Im agonostic

The only thing that appeals to me right now, which can be called spirtual, is a book called "the power of now"

Hard to apply though...but i have recieved more from it than anything else.

Answer 9

This I believe.

In one of His discourses, Swami made an historic declaration-

“This Divine Manifestation (of Swami) is one where all the names of God, and all the forms of God, ascribed by man to God, through the ages are present in full!”

Answer 10

I beleive that that you would be much better off not concerning yourself with what others beleive... read the books and pray and ponder and decide your own beliefs for yourself.
