Mr Slayer Posted May 17, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I think that we all are believers, in one way or another. But what do we believe? Isn't believeing, no matter in what, pretty much the same thing? Even atheists are believers...in nothing. Spirituality can take many forms, and who is to judge if Christianity is more right or wrong than believeing in the forces of Nature? What is "ridiculous"? What is accepted? Do you have respect for other people's beliefs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomenon Posted May 17, 2005 #2 Share Posted May 17, 2005 (edited) I certainly believe in Nature, it's the only one you list that's tangeable. The rest are down to personal belief or faith, not reality. I don't belive in a god, Jesus and most definately not Satan or UFO's, but nature, yep.

DanaScully Posted May 17, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Well, I'm catholic and I believe in God. But I don't agree in everything with this religion... in some way, I'm more closed of Boudha... I believes in many lifes, we are all going back some time after our death... to be better, to experience every nations, every individual, every religion... We are coming back as a man and as a woman as well... This is what I believe, and this is my opinion... take it as you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljellybean Posted May 17, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Umm. can i just say something first? This is a great website. I love it its heaps of fun. But what I do not understand is why people see it as a tool to persecute Christians. I am truly and deeply insulted by the amount of discriminatiion generated by this website and I only hope that in the future the people who run this site can try to be a bit more user freindly. This is the UNEXPLAINED MYSTERIES website not the "Everyone who hates christains get on and pay them out all in the name of making the myth about aliens seem credible" site. I am sure heaps of people would agree with me. Lets have more important posts than just posts about people who have a problem with religions. God Bless P.S To answer your question yes I believe in God, Jesus the Devil and UFO's but not Aliens. And for everyone who will contridict me, a UFO is an unidentified flying object not a alien mothership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwai Posted May 17, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Although i wouldn't call myself devout i try and follow the Buddhist edicts.Not worshipping any deity but taking responsibility for my actions and trying to become a better ,more enlightened person through my every day actions and meditation. I have respect for All Religions and if invited to any religious occasion(weddings,baptisms etc) try and fit in as not to offend anyone. HOWEVER, What I CANNOT STAND is people who preach to me and adopt a sneering,holier than thou attitude.They tend to be dismissive of any other religion and think they have the answer to all of lifes questions through their belief. NOT ONE PERSON OR ONE "FAITH" HAS ALL THE ANSWERS. Apparently me,( and around 3/4 of the worlds population) are going directly to "HELL" for not following their religion of choice and they delight in telling me so. Really ?? you think so?? Who's to say you haven't got it wrong. Faith is a good thing .Blind faith is just scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomenon Posted May 17, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2005 This is a mysteries Site and Religion is to some degree just that. As yet I haven't seen one negative comment in this thread and history tells me that you probably won't. I'm sure the mods will make sure of that. The fact that many people don't have religious tendancies does not make them rude or point towards them attacking your religion, simply put, they don't believe in god, but you do.

Are a British Caucasian and an Nigerian say..the same Race because they are both Christian. What about Chinese and Indian Buddhists? Personally i think it's never warranted but do attacks on a Religious belief technically constitue "Racism" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discordia Posted May 17, 2005 #15 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I believe in nature and science. I do not believe in God/Satan but I do believe there are other forms of intelligent life somewhere out there. (Not saying I believe they have visited our planet before.) I respect others' beliefs as long as they don't try to force it on me, then I tend to get a little arrogant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Slayer Posted May 17, 2005 Author #19 Share Posted May 17, 2005 By "nature" I meant the stereotype "Force of nature" or "Mother nature", well, the balance in nature if you will, I'm not 100% sure what I meant...:0) It is a pretty wide definition.

DanaScully Posted May 17, 2005 #20 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I'm really sorry if my post offended somebody. My purpose was not to say :"ok, I believe in that, so you have to do the same". I would never do that ! I only gave my opinion in what I believed, christian or not, catholic or not, or whatever the religion I belong for... I mean, I'm not racist at all...

ShaunZero Posted May 17, 2005 #22 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I for one, beleive in God. I also beleive in Satan, NOT hell though. UFOs are also real...OF COURSE THEY ARE, its an unidentified flying object =D. Few things I beleive/Dont beleive about God: Jesus is NOT God. Hell does NOT exist. People worthy of a ressurection will inhabit the earth, NOT heaven. Although 144,000(somewhere around that many) will be brought into heaven. I dont beleive God exist in this physical universe.

RH2097 Posted May 17, 2005 #24 Share Posted May 17, 2005 (edited) I belive in God, I believe we are his science project. I believe in Jesus, I believe that he was a man who was crucified and died for our sins. I believe in UFO's and aliens, Earth cannot in no possible way be the only planet in our universe and beyond with life. I believe in Nature, I believe after God's creation project, he let nature take it's course. I believe in Satan, the good and the bad always have to balance out, which one is he? I do not know. I believe everyone has a right to their beliefs, I don't think no one has a right in hell to tell them otherwise.

Grandpa Greenman Posted May 18, 2005 #25 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I believe in the interconnected web of life that exists though out the Universe. I believe the Universe itself is a living being as the Earth. The God/desses are beings that exist in different overlapping dimensions. We and the God/desses are beings of many kinds of energy. Energy never really goes away it changes. When we die we become another form of energy. I would say that is my core belief. I don't care what other people believe that is their Path. I can't walk their Path and they can't walk mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
