I can't define my "religion" is a few words, since it isn't a creed, and it's very personal to me. Might as well ask the question of Torquemada and Desmond Tutu, both of whom would answer "Christian." (Not my religion, but an effective comparison.)
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
I think, I will start my own Religon. It is of Irish descent. It's the Religon of Guinness. It will not cost you anything, but you do have to bring your Guinness. The Church of Guinness will have plenty of bathrooms too.

Of course you should dare to say it. Don't be ashamed or timid of your faith, but live in it and seek to always grow.
"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ may be exalted in my body, whether by life or death. For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Phillipians 1:20-21 NIV
I've recently stated where my faith lies in the eminem post, but if there still remains any doubt, I proudly declare that my life belongs to Christ. And as i also stated, i will do my best to respect the beliefs and opinions of others on this board.
Totino's party pizzas rock! All a college kid needs to get by....
Hmmm...this is one risque discussion. I suppose a question as blunt and traditionally rude as "What is your religion?" will induce talk of Nazis and Inquisitions.
I think Marx said it best when he called religion the "opium of the masses". Dogma does indeed lead to slavery of the mind. But godless individuals, much like godless states (such as Marxist nations), often end their lives in ruin. God is a state of mind, not a deity. That's some pretty intense info there folks, I know, but give it a shot and see if you can see the light. Call me Lucifer for you have just eaten from the Tree of Knowledge.
I see the right, and I approve it too; condemn the wrong and yet the wrong pursue.
Good question, well i believe in a God but not in any religious sense. I think that everyone will be in the end times) accountable to a deity of sorts. Depressing for all those Vehemences out there who have an avid interest in all things sinful

I am roman catholic but if you start thinking the bible is full of crap.
Like: The bibble says everyone should forgive each other, o.k.
But god can let anybody burn in hell for eternity, that is wath I call NOT forgiving each other.
But there is something like a greater power or heaven.
I believe that because I don't want to suffer the torturre of the tought of rotting away in a chest and be nothing.
And about racism, you can't denie it is growing strong.
I don't hate people wich come from another country but they must adjust to our manners.
I do not want to be everyone to be same but of you look at the behavior of guys from marokko.
They have totally no respect for gorls/woman they speak about them if they are trash.
I think that is wy so many girls are getting raped and murdered, because of the lak of respect.

Welcome to SYM raven i hope your flight is a good one
@opinions on respect, yes there is a lack of respect present in modern society, but i do not think that is the blame for many of the heinous acts that are commited (IMO) It is baser than that. But if these people did have a greater respect it would certainly help

If you believe this, how can you say you're a Catholic? Catholicism is a belief, not a race or nationality...If you don't believe in the Bible you cannot be a Catholic. Period.
Re: God "letting" people burn in hell. Not in the Bible, and not in the teaching. People send themselves to hell. God does not send anyone there.
