What particular religious belief do you hold...?

Question

that you find yourself having to defend or explain the most often?

(I'm re-asking because the Y!A-stapo deleted it the last time I asked.)

Answer 1

i believe in god but not in the bible

Answer 2

Y!A-stapo, I like that!...
I don’t believe in, have any respect for, or interest in the ugly control freak religions want to con or scare people into obeying. My beliefs are spiritual rather than religious, which seems to confuse and, because I’m a bit irreverent, sometimes pisses off Christians. Jesus himself was awesome, but I don’t buy any of the duff that came about from the guys that put the church together after him. I believe in Good, the force of life and nature. That to me is God. Beyond the obvious, do unto others, disrespect of our planet is one of the few sinful acts in my eyes.

Answer 3

I guess I would have to say Eclectic Pagan, as I don't see how ancient rites (well, what little we actually do know of them) can actually fit in with today's society. I study history and archeology, gleening the teachings out of the large amount of BS I run into and keep what I find to be truthful (NOT Absolute Truth.... I have yet to find such a thing within spirituality to the extent mainstream religions claim).

I gave up defending it. If they want to attack, they can. *Shrug* Just shows that is all they can do is attack that which is different. 98% of the time when they do attack it is out of ignorance, claiming things that any person who did any kind of HONEST search, even online, would find to be propaganda. I try to explain it, but, heh, it's hard to explain my personal beliefs as they are not as set as mainstream religions, including Wicca.

ROFL @ Y!A-stapo!!! Fitting. ^_^

Answer 4

I am a Christian. One of the most difficult question that many don´t understand and that I try to explain is "why does GOD let people suffer?".
Then I went through a lot of suffering and now I understand. But I still have a little trouble explaining this issue.
"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil: for You are with me."

Answer 5

I believe in Islam religion,because Islam is the religion for all humans in this world if we want to be saved here in this world and then in our eternal life after death.Islam with its holy book Al Qur'an is the religion from Allah the only one God.This religion is the most updated than other Allah's religion i.e Jewish religion with the holy book Taurat and Christianity with the holy bookBible.
Holy Qur'an and Hadith (the explanation and interpretation from Muhammad peace be upon him) are the complete pairs of life guidance from Allah and the last prophet Muhammad pbuh.
.Qur'an is a complete and logical Allah's holy book...It contains the instruction to do something of good doings and the prohibitions to do something of bad doing such as cheating,gam-
bling,killing,conceiting,lying,adultery,extravagance,drunking,avarice,homosexuality,lesbianity,cruelty,insulting/humiliating,stealing etc.

Answer 6

Hi,

I really do not have a religious belief as such. However, I do believe in Voltaire's dictum:

"I may disagree with what you say, but I defend to death your right to say it." (Don't know if I quoted it totally correctly)

There are many religions and philosophies and I believe that every one have them has at least something (some of them maybe not much) to add to humanity.

Vive la difference!

Answer 7

I explain being non-religious a lot. It's because I believe a person needs to find spirituality, not religion. True, religion is a pathway to spirituality, but that's it. You have to find things on your own. You can believe what you want. It's your life! Do what you want!

That's what I believe.

Answer 8

I am what is known as a born again Christian. I believe the bible is the inspired word of God. I don't really feel I have to defend anything, but I do enjoy answering questions about the bible, or Jesus.

I think the thing alot of people don't understand is that all of us has sin...and that is why Jesus died on a cross, that whoever believes in Him, will be forgiven and washed clean of that sin.

Answer 9

My lack thereof. I think I get questioned constantly for not following the norm on this issue in the town I live in. People are pretty rude about it- in many cases they get it from hearsay and react funny after asking me to explain.

Answer 10

Holiness/Apostle's Doctrine.
We are born again saints who stand on what the Apostles stood for on at the day of Pentecost, we follow the Acts of the Apostles.
If others disagree with it, that's their perrogative.

Answer 11

I have no "religious" beliefs. Religion is man made and therefore contrary to God's infallible Word. I am a Christian who has faith in Christ.
