Question

OK READ THIS FIRST PLEASE, DO NOT PUT DOWN OTHER PEOPLE'S RELIGIONS, please just state what you believe.

What are your thoughts on morals?
Life after death?
Who is your creator?
The meaning of life?
How do you practice your religion?
What do you love most about it?

I love my religion, I am Catholic. I get so upset when ppl put down Catholics they're just stupid. You shouldn't put down any religion as a whole. Anywho, I believe after we die we go to heaven, pergatory, or hell. I believe we have no pain, no anxiety, only love and we get to be closer to God. I try to go to church once a week and I love my priest to death. He is 80 something and is so smart and inspirational! People actually clap after his homilies! Yep, I love being a Catholic, and I feel it creates a great sense of purity. I love being a Christian, and love how people are drawn together by similarities!
So yeah basically I take interest in knowing the similarities/differences and beautiful aspect in all.

Answer 1

i beleive that GOD, is there, and that he comes in many forms, and no one has the right to tell ppl who to believe in,teehee

Answer 2

I am what I call an "agnostic atheist".

What are your thoughts on morals?

I believe that morality has little to nothing to do with religion. I have seen good and bad people at both ends of the religious spectrum. I think I have a good set of morals that wouldn't change whether I believed in God or not.

Life after death?

I believe we die and that's it. Some people's souls stay back in the form of ghosts or spirits, but the majority just pass.

Who is your creator?

I evolved. Who created everything? The better question is WHAT created everything.. I don't know, I wasn't there, but I'm leaning towards the Big Bang.

The meaning of life?

It has a different meaning to every different person. It can be a simple meaning to just be a good citizen and help your neighbours, raise your children to be good people, etc. etc. or it can have a grander meaning like curing cancer or saving the planet..

How do you practice your religion?

I don't.

What do you love most about it?

The ability to be a free spirit and not have to base my beliefs on a 2000 yr. old book written by men. I can think what I want to think because I feel it heart and soul not because I SHOULD.

Answer 3

Well, if you say you are interested, why not give it a shot?

My thoughts on morals are that people should act decently towards others. We, humans as a whole, have the brain power to know and understand right from wrong.

I believe that when you die, you're spirit is still alive. I believe that if you were not given a chance to rest in peace, were killed in an inhumane way, or you have "unfinished business" that your soul will forever roam the earth in search of answers. Once you have completed this "business" or found answers once unknown to you, your soul then will rest and you will then be non-existant.

I do not know who my creator is. I do not believe in God, so I'm sure He isn't it. I'm pretty sure I came from a sperm and egg inside of my mother, so I'll take her as my "creator". Well, add my dad too, since she couldn't really do it alone. So, ha! I've got two!

The purpose of life is to gain all knowledge you seek, understand all things that you do not, and do all that you set out to do. If your one, single goal in life is to have sex, just once, for example, then your life and duties as a human being have been fulfilled and you can rest in peace. However, if you do not have sex before you die, if that was your one, single goal, then your soul will forever roam the earth in search of it.

I do not have a religion, so therefore, I cannot "practice" it.

Again, I do not have a religion, so I do not love anything about it. However, if you are meaning to say 'What do you love most about your beliefs?', then I have an answer. I trust in my beliefs because it is what I accept to be true. I have put the information I know into my own mind and analyzed it, then coming up with what I believe to be true. I did not trust in some other person to tell me what it is right. I let my own mind decide for me.

Answer 4

I am a United Methodist.

What are your thoughts on morals?

I think everyone should strive to live a more moral life, regardless of religious belief. I've known some very moral athiests, and some very immoral self-proclaimed Christians.

Life after death?

Heaven or hell.

Who is your creator?

God.

The meaning of life?

42? I'm still searching for the answer to this.

How do you practice your religion?

I go to church every Sunday. I read the Bible and pray every day. I belong to an adult Sunday school group. I listen to Christian music. My daughter and I read bible stories from her bible every night before bed, and I help her say her prayers.

What do you love most about it?

I love the feeling of completeness I get from it. I love knowing that I'm raising my daughter to know the Lord. I love the people I've met through attending. I love the traditions, and the open acceptance of all people that is the creed of our parish. I also love the community work that we are able to do as part of a larger whole.

Answer 5

Everyone has morals, some people are better at following it than others. Or some have higher morals than other people.
There is no life after death.. I do not have a creator.
Meaning of life is to live life to the fullest and make the best of it and contribute to society as best as we can.
How can I practice my religion when I no longer have one..
I love the fact that I have no religion.

How do you feel about people who were catholic and have renounced being catholic? Do you still consider them stupid if they express why they dislike being catholic or what upsets them about the catholic faith?

FYI: officially renounced my affiliation as a catholic on June 8th

Answer 6

I am Catholic like you and you can find my beliefs in what the Church teaches and has always taught.

However, I will copy something that I just love about the Catholic faith from a letter I was just working on.....


Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament is such a phenomena. Heaven and Earth are kissing. The Mass, with the great and high sacrifice of the alter, is the prayer to the Father, there eternal sacrifice of the Son, and which we are drawn into through the Holy Spirit. It is a high and mighty thing, entering into eternity with the resounding voices of the angles and all the saints that pray before the throne of God. Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament is a bit different. Though Christ’s eternal sacrifice is continuous, in contemplation and prayer it is more akin to receiving kisses on the cheek from Christ. One sits in the calm before the throne and can converse freely with Christ and pour out your love for him in your own individual way and receive His superfluous love for you in return. It is the peace of talking with a good friend who knows all about you, and who truly cares about your wellbeing and happiness. It is a place to be vulnerable before the Trinity. It is also an honor and a privilege to be able to pray and converse with Christ in this way. To stand watch with Him and enter into the very private life of the Trinity

I believe in Qurans being the Final Book from Allah, and the only true original Book available till date , and will be the only one till the end.
I believe that Allah will send Jesus(PBUH) again to lead humanity under Islam.
I believe only Muslims believers will be admitted to heaven , since the day the message of Islam came to existence about 1400 years ago, along with the old believer in the other Prophets who did believe in their Prophets before Islam at their time.
I believe Muslims should learn and teach others about the peaceful message of Islam, and then leave it to their choice to convert to Islam or not...

I do my best to be a good neighbor.
I am too far from being perfect, but I study more about Islam in the hope to help me to come closer to the point of perfection.

Answer 9

I respect all religions because the aim of all religion is to have access to the supernatural power, whom they believe is the creator of the world.

In fact my religious beliefs are that none of the religions are comparatively superior or inferior to each other. The fact cannot be denied that the the priests of each religion, on whom we rely, try to mislead us from the real religion by their superstitious beliefs due to their being semi-educated or near illiterates, or on account of their bid to show themselves as the most knowlegeable person than the followers of the faith and religion.

My thoughts on the given topics are as follows:

Morals: We should not try to deceive any one and love each other despite any caste, creed, race or religion;

Life after death: Nobody is aware about life after death, as none has come back to narrate what happens after death of a person. Any nody saying some thing, about the post-death position of a human being, is just saying on presumption or on hearsay basis or is just deceiving you by saying so.

Who is your creator: My creator is my father and mother, whom I know. They are my God and Godess and I don't know any other God, I have never experienced him at any time during the whole of my life.

The meaning of life: The meaning of life is dutifullness and fulfilling your responsibilities sincerely towards those who are dependent upon you or love you.

How do you practice your religion: By service to mankind, who deserve the most and need my help to uplift those up to my capacity and capability.

What do you love most about it: To supplement the religious faiths by my analytic comments, where I feel the mankind can be misguided by the priests on blind faith

Answer 10

Have you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it:
“I do not know whence I have come.
I saw my feet walking on the road.
As they please I go and stop.
What am I doing here?
How did the road find me?
I do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”

God has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?” (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2)
Indeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)
Prophet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)
Prophet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)
Prophet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)

Real happiness and peace can be ONLY found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: (Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.)
(Qur’an, 13:28)

On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:
(But whoever turns away from the Qur’an, he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.) (Qur’an, 20:124)
This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.
