Religion

[Joeiss]

I am just curious about what religion you all are. Also, do you believe that your religion is the right religion? Do you believe that only the people who believe in your religion will go to heaven?

I think that there is one God who created everything here on earth. And I think that Muslims, Hindus, Jews and Christians are people who just take different paths, but believe in the same God. Yep... therefore nobody is wrong... people just take different paths in life... YEP!

But I don't know about those atheists... Don't know where they go...lol

I myself don't believe in any of that religion stuff... *shrugs*

I'm Catholic.. Don't care much about religion, and I'm not a devout Christian. So whatever and stuff. I think Heaven is for anyone who was good (not evil, not bad). I don't think it's exclusive to some religion... yeah whatever

I was raised Catholic. Can't say I really practice it. But if you gave me a list and told me to pick, I would choose the religion I was brought up in. So there you go.

I don't think anyone would follow a religion that they didn't think is right. Just like if anyone truly felt that a God existed, I doubt they would be an atheist. I don't think anyone would follow a religion they believed is wrong.

And no, I don't believe that. All the religions (at least the ones I would qualify as a religion over a cult) all are about peace. Assuming you have a belief in heaven and hell, If two people lived very moral lives, I don't see how God would accept one over the other. So maybe one was a Christian, one was an atheist, I don't think it matters. God would be foolish to expect people to do anything but follow their heart. If you believed in one God, twenty, or none, if you lived a good life, or were truly sorry when you come to know "the Truth" I don't see how you could be sent to hell, it goes against what the church teaches.

Can I leave this thread open without it turning into a screamfest?

Can you add anything to the conversation, and quit spamming?

Might as well give the thread a chance, you know, all threads are innocent until proven guilty.

only time will tell

As for me, I'm Christian, and have been confirmed under the United Church of Canada...I don't practice it much, and that's probably the way I like it. As for it being the 'right' religion, I don't know...I haven't done excessive research...but I haven't thought about changing my religion or anything.

I am Catholic... Not sure how long I will stay with it, though.

Nearly the same as me.

I was raised Catholic through 12 years of Catholic school (though born and baptized Episcopalian). Never practiced either religion, and they're almost one in the same.

With so much Catholic teaching around you for so friggin' long you think a lot about religion, or at least I did. I've come to decide for myself that there is something Higher or Greater or God in a way somewhere out there, or here or everywhere. But I don't necessarily believe it's a God that cares about the human race, or formed his image in us, or granted us life through him or whatever all the religions teach.

I believe in something Greater, but not religion. I guess that's it in a nutshell.

I'm Christian. Not completely sure which church I really want to belong to. Right now I am experimenting and searching for what the right path is for me.
I somewhat agree that if you are good you will go to heaven. However it does take a really devoted soul be able to even get close to it.

i am an athiest...wait...that's the one that doesn't beleive in god, right?

if so then yeah...i don't beleive in god, and stuff...

[Perfect Stu]

just to throw in some questioning...instead of asking ourselves what kind of person gets into heaven, why not ask 'is there really a 'heaven'?

[Joeiss]

Thanks for changing up my thread, idiot.



And yes, there is a heaven. Heaven is basically one big party where everybody gets to chill out with people who have died before us. I plan on chilling with Jimi Hendrix, Ghandi and Hitler.

Atheists don't believe in a higher power of any sort, there isn't a God. Agnostics aren't sure, they don't know, and perhaps, they don't care.

Nope, it's just an idea people use to comfort them and make death not seem as bad as it would be if they thought it was just 'you're dead the end'...
