~Faith~
 
Do you believe in faith? Do you believe that all that happened and will happen to you is because of destiny? Personally I don't really believe in faith. I think there's no God or some other higher force who would controll my life. I live my life like I want to live it. But on the other hand maybe is it just because of destiny that I'm living my life the way I want to -~-..Well who knows.. But I do believe in signs! Everytime something peculiar happens to me - like a friend of mine is acting slightly unusual I take it as a sign that something good/bad is going to happen.. How about you do you believe in signs^^
Oh and I have another question: Do you belive in God ?

Miyu-chan September 22nd, 2006 4:22 PM

Yes, I believe in God. I'm a Christian.

To avoid offending people here, PM me if you want to know more.

Sakura~ September 22nd, 2006 5:41 PM

Same answer as above. ^_^

Uh, to have faith in something is to believe in something.

So the question you're posing is actually "Do you believe in believing?"

:P

And for the record, yes I do have faith in a higher power (ie God).

Hopefully though, this thread does not turn into one of religious discussion.

I really only believing my friends and me

Kayleigh September 23rd, 2006 1:49 PM

Yes, I'm a very strong Christian... I believe that everything that the Bible says is true, and that'll never change. =3 I'm very happy and proud of my faith.

Drifblim September 23rd, 2006 3:52 PM

God? Yes, but unlike Kayleigh, I don't trust all of the Bible. True, the Bible has God's word, but since it was transcribed by humans and there have been biblical texts that Constantine, the Roman emperor that first advocated Christianity, threw out in order to prevent the creation of Christian sects, there remain some contradictions and inaccuracies in the version we know.

Seconded. I'm what's called Christian anarchist -- I believe in what I interpret of the essence of the religion, and in God Himself; I do not believe in the Church or anything like that, third-party religion is dangerous, IMO. x.o;

mistywishmaker September 23rd, 2006 9:25 PM

I believe in faith. And faith believes in me. <3

Barboach September 23rd, 2006 9:57 PM

I believe you can do whatever you want with your life. You can choose what path to take. I don't believe our lifes are guided by destiny or fate.

DR.MUNCHLAX September 23rd, 2006 10:01 PM

Me? I would have to say that yes I do believe in God =3

Pikachu_Charizard September 24th, 2006 5:41 PM

I believe in God and parts of the bible.

Sorano September 24th, 2006 5:52 PM

Yes, I believe in God.
I believe that whatever path you choose to take is destiny. But signs? Nah. XD;

charizard_maa September 30th, 2006 4:00 PM

I believe in God.

I also believe in faith and destiny. Still I do know that they can change during ones life so it not set in stone. Still there is always one destiny that one must always do that can never change.

Chuchino September 30th, 2006 4:30 PM

You betcha!

I'm Roman Catholic, so I believe in God ^^

I DON'T believe that our lives are controlled, and we have the choice to do what we do. But I do think that there are things we are meant to do-- not like taking out the trash on wednesday or hitting a punchingbag. More like.. someone's MEANT to meet somebody else, and God will do little things to lead us to them. Something like that.

So yes, I believe in God. I always have and I always will <3

Cherrim October 1st, 2006 8:54 PM

I was raised as a Roman-Catholic, but...I kind of drifted away from that. I suppose I consider myself atheist since I really don't believe in God or anything like it. o_o; Nor do I believe in destiny or fate.

I suppose it could change, since it already changed once (I was...really religious when I was younger o_O), but I don't see it happening any time soon.

Yoko-Chan October 2nd, 2006 8:44 AM

Nah not really, but It's a possibility though.

Loyal Arcanine October 2nd, 2006 8:55 AM

I believe in God, but I don't believe in faith the way you proposed it. I don't believe that all that happened and will happen to you is because of destiny. I do think that things happen to form your character, but my character won't change if I miss a bus or something, so if something like that happens I don't think stuff like "oh, this was meant to be".

Sammi October 3rd, 2006 9:18 AM

I will always believe in a higher power. I think the Christian God is the true God.
However, my faith seems to be shaky as of late. :/ Sometimes, I'll just wonder... and it scares me. ;o; I don't want to question, not really...

Destiny? I believe in it, kind of. XD;; *not a very good Christian D:*

Auron October 3rd, 2006 10:21 AM

I don't believe in destiny...You forge your own destiny...

And in God above...Well...I'm agnostic :D

Allstories October 3rd, 2006 11:25 AM

I'm a frisbeetarian. I believe when you die your soul goes up on the roof and you can't get it down.

I am an athiest.

~Summer Queen~ October 6th, 2006 12:55 AM

Hmm yeah I believe in God,
But i also believe that whatever road of life you go down,
It's your choice, Also umm signs? Nah~

Jesus Freak Josh October 6th, 2006 3:24 AM

Jesus is our Saviour
There will be no other
We will shout it out
We want the world to know

And:

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

Yes, I am Christian, and happy to be. Blessed are the persecuted.

Shaydeh October 6th, 2006 3:41 AM

Faith is good, myesh?

Myesh.

GymLeaderMisty October 25th, 2006 4:11 PM

I do not have faith in God... neither does any of the characters in the anime too.

Pikabloo October 25th, 2006 5:18 PM

Yep, I believe in God. I'm Roman-Catholic.
And so is everyone in my family...

Ho-Oh October 26th, 2006 12:06 AM

Well I used to go to a sunday school >< IMO..But I still believe(BTW when it says "I believe I can" it doesn't actually have anything to do with god..just a song I like XD) in god...just not everything else that he does or has thought about doing.(Assuming god is he)

<3 Nica--...Yeah..assuming

Soari October 26th, 2006 12:16 AM

I just only believe in god because god knows everything.

_mew_ October 26th, 2006 5:07 AM

I belive that theres something after life...im not religion, netheir do i want to go into a big arguement..personally i think anyone who is obbsessed with religion is quite a mad person...ends up dicating/having power over others.....

I havent anything agaisnt relgious people just well wished some would keep it to themselves. Sick to death of the Veil issue in Britain though.....anyway enough said i suppose.

Legobricks October 26th, 2006 6:41 AM

basicly, the answer to all of these in my post is "no there isn't"
 
a god? if there is one it's nothing to do with me
a faith? only in myself
a religion? i don't need, want or have one
a destiny? life is the present, memories are the past, mysteries are the future
a reason? a star explodes, the pieces form planets and new stars, which by chance could grow life, and our star (the sun) will die someday...
and me? i'm just an entity of carbon based life, a mere fruit of nature

though this is all in my opinion, science has proven the stars exploding part. i won't argue or say what i believe is better, or even if the 'proven fact' part is correct
