What religion do u believe in if any and why ?

Question

What are your beliefs ?
What holidays do you celebrate if any ?
How long have you been in the religion how did you get into it ?

Answer 1

"What are your beliefs?"
agnosticism and skepticism, because 'Not to be absolutely certain is, I think, one of the essential things in rationality.' (Bertrand Russell)...evidence is important, without it, then I would be gullible enough to worship ALL gods by now.

"What holidays do you celebrate if any?"
My family are Christians, so I celebrate almost every Christian holiday with them too.

"How long have you been in the religion how did you get into it?"
I was initially Christian, then I soon realize that if there was a god, He/she wouldn't be any near any theistic god(described by religions)...And if there was a creator, it would be closer to a deistic god than to Yahweh/Allah, but so far no evidence for a Deist/theist god, therefore I don't know if they exist or not exist, most likely they don't. Plus, reading the Bible wasn't any help at all, reading it more have weaken my perspective about the morality/truth/validity in the Christian belief.

Answer 2

I am a nontheist. I believe that the existence of God is irrelevant.

I celebrate the ancient pagan holidays that my ancestors traditionally followed. Christians, Muslims, and other religions do the same. They have only renamed the holidays to fit their more recently developed religions.

I have been a nontheist for a few years now, since before I knew there was even a word for it. I came to that belief on my own after a life of studying history, mythology, philosophy, and logic.

Answer 3

I do not ascribe to any religion, because all religions are created by man. I believe there may or may not be a higher power. I believe that if there is a higher power that it is unknowable from our human form. The holidays I celebrate are Independence Day, and St. Pat's (it's my birthday). I have had this feeling about religion since my first Catholic mass when I was 9 (20 years ago....)

Answer 4

I believe in world religion for the good.
My beliefs are that all people have some good and evil in them.
I celebrate my holidays anytime of the season. Christmas should be in the Summer, so I go shopping then. I stare at the summer Solstice sun in Alaska and listen in on the ways of the old Hawaiian beliefs. I am astounded by Shaman Indians and Native Americans at sweat lodges. I go to churches and listen to sermons that are talking about God and Jesus, I go to Jewish weddings and celebrate Ho pas at Greek celebrations. I attend Buddhist meditation with my friend Lisa and keeping her company and helping myself. I read Tarot cards with my Wiccan friends because they love me.
I have been in the Christian religion all my life. Nothings wrong with it. But I feel saddened by the ones who make Christianity so conservative. God and Jesus taught the world to be non-judgmental and I don't see it preached in modern society as much. The Bible thumping and people telling others like the Atheists to go to hell is not my way of convincing someone to honor a loving church. It's a shame.

Answer 5

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We believe so much more than just the Bible, that it would be better worth your time to go read the Book of Mormon. It'll explain it better than I will. We celebrate Easter and Christmas especially, really focusing on the Jesus aspects of them. We celebrate most of the other common holidays besides Chanukah and other religion's holidays. Some members of the LDS faith see Halloween as a not-so-good night where they will stay inside and have a family time. They do not participate in this holiday because it has Satanic origins.

I've been a Mormon all 17 1/2 years of my life. I got into it through my parents, who got into it because of their parents.

Answer 6

I believe in God. Organized religion has to many rules. Don't wear those clothes, don't drink that liquid, don't work that kind of job. Who is the church to tell you what to do? OK, don't hurt others and be kind and all that junk. I can accept that, but I don't condone anyone telling me how to live my life. I feel what I do is right, at least for me. I celebrate most all the holidays that someone who believes in God celebrates. I am not Jewish, Catholic, or Muslim. I just believe in God.

Answer 7

Oh great, now look what you've done. Now people are going to go quoting their bible for their silly answers.

"Tabula Rasa" the epistemological thesis that individual human beings are born with no innate or built-in mental content, in a word, "blank", and that their entire resource of knowledge is built up gradually from their experiences and sensory perceptions of the outside world.

That is why they are religious. If no one was around to tell them this is the truth how would they believe it?
It's true because the majority say it's true, religion was created to control the masses.

Answer 8

I don't have a religion persay. If my beliefs fall into a religion then I just don't know about it. Throughout my life I have just let myself over time establish my own beliefs just based on the world around me. I believe there is a "God" or some type of creator. Perhaps more than one, who knows. But I think everything was created a specific way. I believe life works both on fate and free will. I believe that spirituality coincides with everything. Like how some people seperate religion from science. I personally think that without some sort of creator there could not be science in the first place. If you think about it; everything is based off of mathimatical and scientific equations. Even our DNA is a perfect mathimatical code. I don't think that just happens out of sheer coincidence. The statistics of things are just so out there it's unbelieveable. If you really think about every single thing that has happened in the history of the universe, almost every single thing had to happen just perfectly for us to even be here. For us to be here right now. There had to be a "big bang" or something that started all of this in the first place. And before that if the big bang is true then it had to happen at that specific moment, in that specific place, with the exact gases that were involved. From there you have billions of years of history that have gone on all leading up to your parents having to have sex at that specific moment, and then to think that YOUR sperm is the one that got there out of all the millions of them swimming around. Not to mention the thousands of years of ancestors that had to have the same thing happen mind you at the exact perfect moment. If alllllll of that didn't happen. You would not be here. The probability of us being here by coincidence is just rediculous. It all had to happen based off of something, it all had to happen for some type of reason. That's the way I see it. I also believe in an afterlife. I believe our souls live forever and simply live many lives, whether they are here or somewhere else. Yeah that's a lot to swallow but it makes sense to me haha. There is so much more to it but I don't have time to write a whole novel here.

Answer 9

I am a Christian. I do not practice within a particular denomination. I was raised in Presbyterian church-baptized in a Church of Christ-member of a Baptist Church for 26 years-nondenominational church for 3 years. My beliefs are my personal understanding of the bible and relationship with Jesus-which differs from all denominations I have found so far.
I celebrate Christmas and Easter. I accepted Jesus at a Billy Gram revival at the age of ten. Questioned the standard beliefs in my teens-concluded that it was up to me to seek and find the answers for myself and draw my own conclusions. I believe that to be the right of every person and therefore do not condemn anyone for their personal views.

Answer 10

When I was in grade school, I had a very elderly neighbor, Grace, who made the best rice crispy treats. My brother and I would go to her church while my mom slept. She didn't even know we were gone. One day, my mom announced that we were going to be Jehova's wtinesses. It was sudden but I took to the idea. I went with my mom to the meetings for years. It was pretty involved. They are great people. I chose to stop attending when I was a teenager but I credit most of my best ideas to a religious infuence. I can't say which religion is "The One" for anyone else. I am confused now that I have a two year old daughter. I want to teach her about god. I dont know who He is. I hope for some insight while she is still young.
