I do not hold to any religion or faith or god, but I do not condemn anyone for their beliefs. I hold the only truth that I know and that is that I don't know the truth. I constantly search for truth and view everything and everyone's position with an open mind.
I treat others with tolerance and respect but I do not expect any particular action out of anyone else. I only expect people to be who and what they are at any given moment. (86 words)

has been around, and pretty much the same for 2000 years.
I believe in Jesus who is the Son of the God of Abraham Issac and Jacob. I believe that the Old and New Testament of the Bible was inspired mostly by the Holy Spirit, and contains the answer to many of life's problems if you follow it, and it also contains a crucial message for our Salvation. The message is that all of us are sinners since the first Man Adam. God made a virgin named Mary pregnant with his Holy Spirit which resulted in a child that did not have sin nature because sin nature is passed through the man. The child also was fully God, yet fully Man but without the sin, a sort of Second Adam, or second chance for man. His life and death was predicted in the Old Testament. The Prophet John the Babtist who prepared the way for Jesus was killed, and so were all the prophets before him, and Jesus was crucified by the Romans after the insistence of the Jewish authorities, and masses of people screaming "Crucify Him!". When Jesus died, as predicted in the Old Testament, not a bone was broken. The Romans were going to break his legs to be sure he was dead, but instead pierced his heart, which resulted in blood mixed with water flowing out of Christ's body, which was the blood that cleanses followers of Christ of thier sins. To remember this Christians eat bread and drink wine, or grape juice periodically. When we eat the bread we remember his body that was sacrificed for our sins, and remember the blood that cleansed us.
Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, because he had conquered death, and after prooving that he was alive in the flesh, he ascended to Heaven. He will return to Earth the very same way according to the Angels that spoke to the Apostles when Christ ascended. I don't know what the word count on that, but that's about the most compact way to tell the whole story.

What is your problem.No one of faith could explain their faith in 100 words or even 500. If they could wouldn't life be so simple. Equally why the assumption that someone without faith would slag off those with? You have obviously thought about this question long and hard but threatening to report people within the question raises questions in itself. Do you actually want to hear peoples views or do you simply want some simpleton to agree with you. Sorry if this sounds rude but you're either very prejudiced or just mental.

I believe that there is a God, I don't know which religion it prefers but I feel safe in aiming my grattitude towards the christian god. I have difficulty in believing the Bible for I have alot of education that forces me to believe things other than immaculate conception and "the creation" theory. When I die I will be used just as any other energy; can't be created nor destroyed, only recycled. I hope that some day all people can come to the conclusion that religions don't make the society, it's the people and their actions that do. Best wishes

In the beginning God said "Let there be light." Then there was light. After that, a big flood happened (people living back then would have read about it in all the papers). Then Jesus came. Meanwhile in India and stuff, there were Hindus. Also Mohammed came around causing trouble. God's practical joke on us all was that he put all the oil underneath where he knew all the Muslims would someday live. There were lots of big and little religions all over the place for centuries. Then I was born. This morning I prayed. The End.

WHY? The libraries are full of reading material about faiths, beliefs and their history. Why should anyone report to YOU!
What is your authority, and who gives a rats butt about what you report?
Did someone write and ask you about your religious life?
This is a forum, not YOUR private Sunday School!
I take offense that you have the nerve, to publicly demand to know, why people may or may not have beliefs, to you. And to threaten some sort of reprisal if their response does not match YOUR qualifications.
Report This. Lawrence O. Wilson said you need to take a flying leap in to the largest human waste heap on this earth!

I have no religion.
I love Jesus Christ and believe that He is the Son of God but also recognize that He was a Jewish man, a rabbi, a prophet and a teacher. I believe in the bible in the sense that Christ was... The living word of God come to for fill and amend the covenant.
I believe that God is the living energy force in the universe that motivates the things of the spirit. (Everything vibrates) Everything is God...
I believe in Love, Grace and forgiveness but I also believe that God is Just.
I do not believe that God is to blame for the causes of good or the effects of bad. I believe that He created us as living examples of His word and life force and spirit and that in that creation came a self actuated responsibility for ourselves and our own existences and that everything we believe, think, feel, and do as a result are all choices we make that have little or nothing to do with Him directly other than He was the beginning of the bang that caused creation... They original catalyst, the force... The inception. We are all God as living breathing extensions of His existance and Jesus was just sent here to help us see that. by example... We are made in His image. We are a living part of a whole creation. Through science, Biology, physics and evolution we know Him, touch Him and reach Him.

It's impossible to prove there is a God and equally impossible to prove there isn't. Better, therefore, to live like it doesn't matter and just have respect for other people without fear of the consequences of not doing so; and not care for their religion. Religion has been the cause of more wars and deaths than any disease or natural phenomena, so better just to leave it alone and see if we can't all find a way to live together.
