Do you practice religion?

[ryan]

@_@ There's no need to be so worried about this turning into a debate thread or something. there's ALWAYS a staff member nearby to close it so don't make a mountain out of a molehill. Jesus.. :/

No, I don't practice religion and I don't plan to. lol. I was born a christian, but I just don't find it interesting no more. ^_^ Religion is too boring for me, and there's all these rules I don't want to follow. lol. So yeah.. ._.;

If you aren't Christian, why do you say "Jesus"?? It really bugs me when people do that. In my opinion, it's one of the most rediculous things that one can exclaim. I've only ever heard non-Christians say it too... I have a feeling that you did that deliberatly to get those of us who follow that faith agitated. It's because of comments like that that threads like this need to be carefully watched, yet you criticize the staff... You're in no place to rag on them when you're the problem.
Note: I have nothing wrong with people opposed to religion; it's people who are disrespectful that get on my nerves.

I'm also a Christian by birth, but to be honest I'm not sure if I believe in it or not. I'm not Atheist, I'm just not sure if there is a God or not.

I think like that sometimes.

I Lutheran (Christian), and I pray about every night. I'm not too religious, but if I feel like it sometimes I get my mom to wake up on Sunday and we go to church. I was baptized just this year, a week after my birthday, though my family's always been christain, I didn't just convert or anythihng, I just hadn't been baptized as a baby. I go to christian camps, and I like to read my bible sometimes, especially Proverbs. I also was a junior counselor at a christian day camp this summer ^^

I'm probably some kind of atheist, I suppose, but I don't really believe in religion. I know it makes people feel community-minded and stuff, and gives them something to concentrate on, but I think it ends up causing more problems than it solves. The schools I attended for most of my schooling were Anglican schools, but they weren't too religious and so didn't bother me too much.

I used to believe in God some what, however, after I took Religious Education as one of my subjects last year, I distanced myself from Him somewhat, so I can study religion from a neutral point of view.

Then, after I learnt more about lots of religions, I started to believe less and less in God. But I didn't lose all faith.

Now I am between believers and non-believers.

But as my relatives back in Japan are followers of Shinto, I have to keep that in mind when I go back to Japan.

Depends what you mean. I am actually of a religion. Christianity, I believe in the One and Only and His Son. He is who He is.

 

[Cybex Mewtwo]

Unfortunately No. >.> With the exception of Baptism (which I believe is....a Christian tradition no?) I have never practiced a religion. Guess these values were never given to me.....and thus never grew with em. I apologize to all who do practice religion and are in any way, shape, or form offended or confused of this.

 

[Batesymon]

Baptism is a Christian thing, yes. I just don't see how you can be Baptised then forget about God completely.

 

[Taemin]

uuum I don't have a religion.... but the religion I'm going towards is probably the 'Wiccan' religion, or 'Pegan' rather.

 

[The Fly]

I'm Baptist; however, there are some things in the Bible I don't agree with nor follow. Truthfully, I'd be considered a hypocrite that says he's a Christian, but doesn't act like it. Actually, unlike the typical Christian in my area, I follow my own path and I have an less of a biased view about religion...

@_@ Honey, pleeease let's not get into the topic of my critisizing the staff because the they will get stingy on me again and I am not in the mood today at all to debate with them. So if you want to continue this, send me a PM and we'll settle it like gentlemen :)

One doesn't have to be christian to say Jesus. :/ One might as well be forbidden to believe in God if that person is a homosexual. :p Besides, peopel are disrespectful about Jesus all the time, so one might as well get used to that ._. And darling, my last post wasn't that disturbing. o_o Believe me, I could have just put down what I really feel about religion but I decided not to because I know there will be touchy people like you that will beat me for saying that. lol

BTW, I DID NOT say "jesus" delibaretely to annoy any christians, seriously. If I offended anybody other than ryan, I apologize. I have lots of christian friends, and I am not a hypocrite. :)

 

[Crucificus]

I was born into an agnostic family, however at eight years of age I became an atheist, so no, I don't practice any religion.

 

[Miyu-chan]

I'm Christian by choice. I've always believed that there was a God, even before I was a Christian.

 

[Greta]

Well, Im a Christian but Im really not into the practicing religion stuff. I am usually not interested in these kind of things, bu cant say I dont believe in God either. Im just undecided yet.

 

[Charizard_Fire_God]

Yes and no.
Myself, I'm an atheist. Tch, but still, I go to tha church an' stuff on Easter an' Christmas. Parents thing. <_<

 

[Minako]

I don't 'practice' religion, per se. I have a faith. XP

Yes, I am a Christian. At times, I've felt a little agnostic, but I guess we all question religion at one point, don't we?

[Geometric-sama]

In my family, I've always known that I'm allowed to choose any religion I want, should I choose to practise one, so I haven't, because I still don't know what I believe in. I think that ultimately the only thing you can believe in yourself, because it's the only thing you can trust completely.

 

[Soul Eater]

I actaully dont really..I'm a catholic.

I do believe in god though but i dont really pray or go to church or anything you know? I did at one time go to a missionaries thing (its hard to explain) but that was a looooong time ago. So I really dont practice anything for my religion.

 

[DarkFenris]

i dont really have a religion. my school is christan. i go to chapel every friday....stupid school...but when i get my life organised i will practise wiccan stuff.
