sorry for the boring topic guys, and its probably (maybe) been covered here before, but ive been seeing this girl alot lately, and shes all into her bible shit and im the total opposite, so we have some pretty crazy conversations when we're high, so i was wondering what ya'll views on god(s) (or lack there of, lol) are!?

I don't agree with any religion period. I may have beliefs similar to certain groups, but I don't classify them. While I do respect the fact that religion gives faith and hope to some and that it brings people together, it's just not for me. I cherish independant thought, not what some group tells me I should believe (that includes atheists).

I don't believe in any god, any kind of heaven or hell, any kind of sin, or any magical Tooth Fairy crap like that. At the risk of sounding like Neo, I don't like the idea that my life is not under my control. I believe I owe allegiance to no one, or no group. It will most likely stay that way. My life is mine, and I choose to live it my my own means. Not by any systems or scriptures.

But I respect all religion, as everyone has the right to believe in what they choose. If it makes you happy, I'm all for it. Just don't try to sell it to me, and we'll get along fine. :)

I was trying to add some things, but apparently we're only allowed to edit for 5 minutes :confused:. Makes no sense.

Anyway, a 'religion test' once told me that my beliefs match closest to that of humanist. I guess in a way that's true, because I believe in the human spirit, and the human's ability to make his or her own decisions in life. I believe in human rights, racial harmony, and yes, I even agree to gay marriages/unions. As for the never-fails religious question, "If there is no God, how did life start? Who created man?" Well, I can ask the same thing about God. Who created him? He's always been? Well, why can't the universe have always been? It's just as rational. I mean, there's already proof that there are stars many times older than the earth...

Anyway, now I'm just rambling. I apologize if my posts have offended anyone. It was not my intention. I am just expressing my beliefs, as I hope others will do.
