What do you believe?

Question

What do you believe in, whether it be a religion, or evolution, or whatever.
Also, please briefly outline the details of your religion/whatever, so I can have a better understanding of where you're coming from.

Answer 1

I believe the Word of God and Jesus Christ, Savior of the world.

Answer 2

Nothing. Belief doesn't enter into my picture.

Either I have sufficient evidence for a thing, or I simply hold no view on it at all. Anything that must be taken strictly on belief or faith is not an issue.

I do not believe Evolution, for example -- I know it is a fact because all the best evidence supports it in such a way that even if a few small details are wrong, the overall idea is true. I don't believe the chair I'm about to sit in is going to hold my weight, in fact, I sit down very carefully the first time I face a chair or cannot distinguish a known chair from other chairs, so that if it breaks I am positioned to catch myself. I do not believe that my car is where I parked it, I am fully aware of the fact it may have been stolen since I parked it, but until I go out to check, I have no reliable information either way.

Belief advantages nothing.

Operate on facts alone.

Answer 3

I'm a Reformed Christian.


"The United Reformed Churches in North America (different than the URC of the UK) are the descendants of the Protestant Reformation.

Since the Bible teaches that Christians continue to sin, the church will be corrupted over time. Therefore, Christians should always be attempting to reform the church, to put it back in accordance with biblical teachings and practice.

During the sixteenth century, Roman Catholics chose to stop participating in this process and actually condemned those who attempted such reform. Reformers were forced outside of the Roman Catholic Church and participated in the Reformation in Protestant churches such as the Lutheran, Anglican, and Reformed.

From 1618 to 1619, the Reformed churches from dozens of countries throughout the world sent representatives to meet at the Synod, or Council, of Dordrecht. There, they collectively stated their faith and summarized biblical teachings with three documents, or forms, of unity: the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, and Canons of Dort.

The United Reformed Churches in North America are the descendants of these international Reformed churches. "

Answer 4

i am a religious man. i believe in many gods. a brief outline of my beliefs is impossible, because i am long winded and Pagan.
but the basic idea is to treat others as well as you would treat your family, and to help others when you are able to. this is regardless of their religion. the religion of a man does not matter to me because i believe in all Gods, and i believe that all of them give equal opportunity to a peacful afterlife. many times a man will use his religion as a tool of hate, then i begin to have a problem with the man and his interpretation of religion, but that is a very long story.

as far as evolution goes, there simply is too much evidence that points to it being the way that we came to be. but as a religious person, i reconcile this as the method that the gods used for creation. i can never know how they made the world or made man. and what is to say that they did not take many years and many attempts before they made something like us. we like to believe that we are in the image of the gods, but i believe that the gods are in our image.

the gods can take any form and be anything, why are we so vain as to think that they choose a form that is as uncomfortable as a human body can be. no i say that when speaking to us or showing themselves to us they copy our shape so that we can relate to them.

Answer 5

I believe we are born we live and then we die. I have no religion. I believe the entire concept takes away from living your life to it's fullest potential. As well as stunts growth. I can't say if there is or isn't a God. I can say I don't worship one. I believe that EVERYONE is entitled to believe whatever helps them through their life. I do get frustrated at times with people who can't admit "possibility". That goes out to believers and non-believers. The truth as I see it is that no one knows. There is only hope.

Answer 6

I believe that God is the creator, but He did not endorse or create any religion or books. I believe that God is beyond man's comprehension, therefore man knows absolutely nothing about God. I was raised a Catholic and later in life, was awakened to the fact that it is all a bunch of ritualistic mumbo jumbo. I now consider myself agnostic.

Answer 7

I believe in the Earth. I have a partiality toward the ocean. I have great respect for all living things, and non living things like rocks.
I am someone of an animist. I don't think a rock is alive like we are, but I believe it can hold ancient wisdom. They are very old.

Answer 8

Do you know there are more Banana Snakes per kappa than the constituents of the entire congress combined. We demand the right to vote.

Answer 9

It said that god created world and universe but never told about sudden creation as christians say, so i believe in evolution as part of creation.

It says many other things boldly, irrespective of its intrests.

Answer 10

Atheism

we believe in the thought that theres no God(s)

and evolution.
