Poll: What do you believe?

Question

a) I believe there is no god/God/deity (as defined by any religion). It is impossible (0.00000...001% is the same as 0% for all practical purposes).

b) I have no beliefs on the subject on god/God/deity.

c) I believe the existence of god etc. is possible (not impossible as defined above), but I don't believe in any existing religion.

d) I believe in a religion, but from time to time, I do have questions about it that are unanswered.

e) I believe in a religion. I have no questions about it.

For a), let's say that your are willing to bet your house on it (double or nothing).

Quick response some answers: I think the question is very clear. The problem is that people are often not clear about exactly what they believe.

Polls and Surveys is a section under Entertainment. I feel that Religion is a much more appropriate category.

Answer 1

From a purely rational and evidence based perspective I would vote "a".

I do however have a heart and sometimes waver towards "c".

I do not think that all religious people are therefore stupid or always overly emotional / (magical maybe) in their thinking, as there are a lot of factors which can, do and have had influence on people, in their childhood, culture and country, which can counteract any innate empirical rationality which might be there in a newborn child or might have been nurtured in one's life.

Religoin has been around for millenia, I therefore expect it's appeal to be complex and sophisticated, and it's effects sometimes comforting or functional. Therefore faith is not a mere form of ignorance embodied in the mind.

But I can do without it, and am a happy man indeed.

Answer 2

None, its because sometimes I believe in God and sometimes I don't. Even when I do I accept the possibility of his/her non-existence and the possibility of another go or the possibility of nothing. I'm back and forth, but when I do believe in god it just yeah I believe but I'm not a religious fanatic or anything and I have no desire to be. I'll just have to wait and see until after i die because the fact is no one knows.

Answer 3

I "believe" in spirituality. Not religion. Religion has rules tells people they go to hell if they don't follow certain guidelines. I'd rather live well, do the next right thing on a daily basis, help my fellow man and be happy. So what was that I guess....C.

Answer 5

E, except for the no questions part. We are supposed to take in knowledge and prove the truth to ourselves, so we are encouraged to find the answers to our questions. It just so happens that all of my questions have been answered by the Bible, and my religion follows the whole Bible, not just the part they like.

Thanks for asking :)

Answer 6

I don't believe in a religion. I believe in the one God as my savior. True Christians know the difference and the way to salvation is through Jesus Christ.

Answer 7

None of those, i simple ask of the spirit and it Tells me what to do,along with my with faith and love.I can do all things .
all who call on the name of the Lord will not be saved,only those who DO my fathers will,will make it to heaven said Jesus.
so that is all i am concerned with, is the spirit of Gods direction., and not some words in a book.
Peace
