Well, I was raised Lutheran but later in life became non-denominational and now I'm pretty sure, I'm liberal protestant.

Um, I believe in religion because I think the world is too complex for it to all be an accident. I believe that we are all unique individuals with souls, not just an accident of nature. Sometimes I'm a little shaky on the "Christian" part. There are definitely some things done by my church that I do not agree with. I've considered being just a theist sometimes but as it stands I am Christian. I feel even with it's flaws, my religion is meant to be a very loving, forgiving and tolerant one.


I agree with the fact that it's too complex. The more I learn about physics the more I think there has to be something else. For example: the second law of thermodynamics states that it takes work (aka energy) for a system to become more ordered. Now it seems to me that the universe we have now is much more orderly then the random, chaotic nothingness before the big bang. So some kind of energy must have been added to the system to be able to create the universe. Now where did that extra energy come from?


I see your point!

From my understand of the Big Bang is that some space stuff exploded and created planets and such, but even so where did all that matter come from in the first place?
I believe through whatever means, we were created, we didn't just happen and I believe in a creator, God.

now now hold on one second
you are jumping to conclusion too fast.
yes the law of thermodynamics states that energy for a system to be ordered. however, you have reason to believe it was god who is this energy. now what you forget is you need another source to create energy. now if thats the case, then "god" couldnt have made the universe, because who would have created god?

dude! holy crap I want your signature!

I am a Monolatist Jew. I believe in Monolatrism, not Monotheism.

Monotheism is the belief of only one supreme being that all worship.

Monolatrism is the belief of many gods, but the worship of only one.

Why? because I was born and raised as a Jew, it's just part of my identity. I believe that I was put here on earth by HASHEM in order to collect knowledge and learn about everything. So I acknowledge the other gods, but I do not give them homage or patronage.

It's how I roll, it's what I do.
