i mean i used to go to church and believed in god but not anymore really...

[Sikotic™]

I'm a Christian and I know God exists and is with me. I have no problem with people with other religions because it is their choice and I have no right to change it. I got a ton of friends who are Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim. I even had a goofy ass Mormon friend of mine I knew real well. Hating on a religion is similar to racism and I ain't cool with no kind of racism.

And I respect all religions even tho I may disagree with some of their ideas beliefs etc. I do because just like the Bible says "Treat Others the way you want to be treated" and if I got people bashing Jesus and mocking him I wouldn't like it so I'm not gonna go and make fun of Muhammad, Buddha etc. Because those kind of things people get very emotional over, almost like if you call someone's kid ugly or somethin, they'll lose it and start fightin with you.

Religon is an intrestin topic
I'm a Sikh, and i believe in God....many times God has answered my prayers, but many times he hasn't, i do believe he is with me and protecting me from u fagz(lol jk)
All religons basically teach to live in peace etc, but ppl start bitchin and sayin hteir religon is da best and others are nothing compared to it ...
wtf is that supposed to mean? They claim to be followers of their religon but they neglect that part which teaches about peace and to respect each other...
I still dont get it, why?

[Suga Foot]

I personally am not religeous at all.  My dad was raised as a Catholic.  But decided to drop religion when he was like 20.  He raised me to be athiest.  I don't know what it's like to be religios so I don't know if i'd like it.

I ask myself these question often...

why did my mom died when i was 17 and not when i was 37???

why did lil" j die at 18 and not live too see 98???

Why do bad things happen to good people???

these are all good question to ask yourself when you are questioning if there is a lord... or higher power....

but the real question that brings faith into my heart is....

Why do bird fly and who thought of giving them wing and feathers???

why does the earth spin giving us gravity to stay put???

why does the sun shine over us???

why are there trees that give us air.. rain to give us water...
why can i see the things around me...
thats what gives me my faith in god... not the negative question.. but the one no one can really really answer

i am a catholic too

Ima catholic, my belief in God changes almost day by day, religion can cause so much pain, violence and destruction, but it can also be comforting and reassuring. Im from an irish family so i only go to church to please my Nan, because without her my life has little meaning...

[infinite59]

I believe in Allah, the most high, most beneficient, most merciful, the Creator of all.  He begeteth not, nor is he begotten.  With no beggining and no ending. Infinite.

[infinite59]

I believe in all the prophets.  All prophets being as human as you or I, and equal under God.  Allah, the Supreme Being, The Creator of All.  All that is in the World belongs to and was created by Allah.  All of my shortcomings can be attributed to my own immortality and weakness, and all good that I have contributed to the Earth shall be attributed to Allah, (God).
