Answer 1

I've always been an atheist, really. I remember that in 2nd grade, I was under the impression that my family was Christian just because we celebrated Christmas. I asked my dad, "Are we Christian?"

He said that he wasn't, and mom wasn't. He asked me if I believed in God. I said I didn't. Then he told me that no, in that case I wasn't Christian.

I've thought about Christianity, Judaism, and other religions quite a bit, but I don't follow any because they all require a belief in gods. I just find the concept a bit ridiculous, though of course I support everyone's right to believe what they please.

Answer 2

Apostolic is Oneness Pentecostal.We believe in the oneness of God versus the idea of the trinity. We believe in the Acts 2:38-9 plan of salvation, gifts of the spiriit, distinction between male/female in dress/hair, tithing, rapture of the church, millenial reign, a literal Heaven/Hell, divorce is reserved for adultery only, marriage between Christians only, no killing(including abortion). There is probably more but that's a pretty lengthy overview.

Answer 3

Agnostic. The one sermon, I would, like to hear at any church, is an effective(for the right-reasons), on:

Righteous Anger! Till then, Carl-Jung presents it best in his "Shadow" psychology. If we would all apply this to our own lives, the world would truly be great!

I believe in the trinity of Atheism-Agnosticism-Theism, when each one of us, blends each pillar, catered to our own strengths and weaknesses, our view of the world, could open many-doors; the ancients could only speculate about.

Answer 4

I'm a naturalistic pantheist which means that "I believe in God/dess but spell it N-A-T-U-R-E." It is sort of like a nontheistic and rational "pagan". It's paganism for the 21st century and is even more earth-centered than "mainstream" paganism which focuses on magic. It is very eco-centered and Green in focus.

Knowing of the interdependence of nature (food cycle, etc.) as well as the interdependence of actions (ancestors' past actions affect my current circumstances and my actions will affect the circumstances of my descendents) fills me with a sense of gratefulness which I demonstrate both through my actions as well as concrete actions of respect and honor.

We celebrate the solstices and equinoxes. Some of us even do rituals - for myself I have developed offeratory rituals to honor Nature and the ancestors, Sacred Meal ritual, and chanting and meditation practices. These are available in the files section of the public pantheist groups here on Yahoo and on Beliefnet.

Answer 5

I believe that our creator is neither a man or a woman, and our creator loves everything that is, or else it wouldn't be. We were created in the image of and equal with our creator, meaning that we are creators too, constantly getting what we ask for. Most of us spend a lot of time in fear, thereby creating what we fear, and many of us get hooked on emotions and create situations to get more of those emotions. Once we are aware of what we're calling to us, it changes.
I believe that for us to live in peace we need to accept ourselves and others the way they are. Seeing and then accepting. Any way we are, any religion, any state of being is okay. God let's it be, so should we. That's the unconditional love we get, so we should give it.

Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc.

Many Gods Religion
Greek, Hinduism, etc.

Spiritual (non deity) Religion
Buddhism, etc.

Non Religion
Atheism

Nature Worship
Paganism, etc.

Answer 7

an All powerful all knowing God is also a major contradiction to free will........

Answer 9

Seventh-day Adventist

Before the return of Jesus Christ the entire earth will be assaulted by an ever increasing number of cataclysmic floods, forest fires, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and hurricanes. (see Luke 21 and Matt. 24). These nightmarish disasters in America will bring the U.S. economy to the brink of national bankruptcy. Hyper-inflation will be uncontrollable. Outbreaks of horrific disease will be everywhere. Insurance companies will be bankrupt. Cities will be overrun with crime due to union strikes, food shortages, and jobless destitutes. Local and federal aid will be virtually non-existent. As the fearful specter of national financial ruin becomes a horrific reality, Christians of all denominations will believe that the lack of reverence for Sunday as a sacred and holy day for the worship of God has brought the wrath of God upon America. (See II Chronicles 7:14). These Christians will bring overwhelming pressure on Congress to pass a “National Sunday Law”.
This “National Sunday Law” will establish curfews, rationing, and restrictions on buying and selling in order to restore law and order. (See Revelation 13:17) Those that violate this law will be subject to fines, imprisonment and eventually even the death penalty.
This fearful law will also require the observance of Sunday, the 1st day of the week, as a day of rest and worship, CONTRARY to the 4th Commandment of God, which requires the observance of the 7th day Sabbath, (which is Saturday), as the holy day of worship, (see Exodus 20:8-11). Despite the FACT that religious leaders and scholars of ALL major Protestant denominations FREELY ADMIT that there is NO Bible verse, command, or instruction to keep or observe Sunday as sacred or holy, millions of faithful Christians have been led to believe otherwise because of the TRADITION of Sunday sacredness inherited from the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church readily acknowledges that there is NO scriptural basis for Sunday worship and proudly points to the historical FACT that the Roman Catholic Church changed the 10 Commandments as a sign of their authority and power, (See back for quotes). This is a direct fulfillment of Bible prophecy, (See Daniel 7:25). The 4th Commandment establishes the absolute FACT that the “seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God”, (see Exodus 20:9), and Jesus Christ declared that “the Sabbath was made for man”, (see Mark 2:27). While there is sill time all that read these words need to repent and be baptized that they may be among the redeemed that keep the 10 Commandments of God, (see Revelation 14:12). All those that reject the LAW OF GOD as the standard of righteousness will accept the “MARK OF THE BEAST” OF Revelation 13:15-17 which is the soon to come NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW.
THE END DRAWS NEAR.

Answer 10

That would take a long answer on my part. I am Catholic and I follow the Church.
