well
lets see...i dont really have much of an idea on religion..i beleive there is a god but who knows
i was always taught there was god and his son jesus and they werent one person
which actually makes sense if u think about it
i mean...how could god send himself down and also give his son commands and stuff
then again...i was raised as a JW and i find a lot of their ideas pretty messed up
reminded me too much of a cult so i got out of it as soon as i could
*rambles on*

there is a difference between condemnation and damnation. condemnation is more materialized, and damnation is eternal punishment...(well, according to christianity...)

I believe in God, but aside from that I'm not sure what I believe.
I'm "Roman Catholic" but I wouldn't call myself a practicing Catholic.
When I was littler... like Grade one - six
I was in "religion classes" which taught me all about my religion...

I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: By the power of the Holy Spirit, he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. I believe in the one holy catholic and apostolic church. I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

I was raised as a Catholic, but I don't believe in it anymore. Now, I choose to follow my own beliefs, whatever they may be. I don't want to have to be told what to believe in.

As you can see, i am a devout, solid, Catholic. but I am also a tinge bit libneral, though my Conservative side governs most of my decisions. i ma against abortion and stem cell research, although I am not against homosextuality, though I may dislike it, and don't really care on the matter. I am tolerant of other beliefs(as should al christians, but some are so conservative that they absolutely hate it)

one of my best firends is a an aetheist(but a little bit pagan) and won't change that... I am sad, for I do not want his sould burn in hell for all eternity, for deliberately defying the Lord. crying I will find a way to persuade him to converting to Catholocism... sweatdrop

I know a lot of people do, but I personally don't take really any hope from the stories in the torah (the jewish bible, by the way, I'm jewish). The Torah is the same thing as the old testament. I think that they were just written by some storyteller to make religion sound a lot more interesting, but also teach us lessons from the stories. Sure, there are lots of lessons, but make a book explaining what really happened. Maybe the sea splitting was just a sandbar at low tide, who knows?

Also, I have been harrassed at school for being jewish. It's not fun. I hear people at school calling eachother 'jew', because they did something wrong, and it's not cool. Please, anyone here that uses the word 'jew' as a derogatory term, please stop. It hurts people.

Oh my.

Ok, now I shall get you all to hate me! -Cheers-

I'm proudly Pagan.

There's a slight catch, though. I don't strictly believe in the Pagan beliefs.

And no. I'm not one of those Wiccan-wanna-be's. They piss me off.

Ha. We live in hell, are you kidding? A majority of Pagans don't believe in hell. I do, though. Heh. For my own reasons.
