The only reason I even typed that was because it was funny. I was really commenting on the athiest part.

Why does it affect you if you don't believe in it? It still sounds as if you are very insecure, and unsure.

And their leaders wouldn't want it any other way.

Look at Bush, Mr. Born-Again. He's using his religion as a form of control. So is Bin Laden, re-interpreting the Qur'an as he wishes to control people. That's what religion (at least, the Big Three) is for, population control.

This is exactly why I say that I am a spiritual person, instead of a religious person. Because bad people have given a bad name, and taken something that was supposed to be good and turned it into a horrible business. Yes, and use it for control, just like a cult. There is good and bad, positive and negative. Don't allow the bad to outshine the good.

You feel better about yourself because you believe in a god? Are you less afraid to live on your daily life knowing that there's a nice old man waiting to give you a big hug after you die?

Actually I don't subscribe to the "sex" of god, much less wether or not there is a beard. Again, you would have known that had you read this whole conversation:rolleyes: And maybe the stuff I don't like is just the crap people have changed and added.

And actually I believe that there are tons of passed family members, animals, friends, angels, guides, ascended masters, there to great you with "love" when your body dies. What exactly do you think it is then that leaves our body when we die? And it has to go somewhere. Something inside us that makes us each unique (personality) leaves, and our body starts to decay. 2 years old, 102 years old. What is "this" energy which can be recorded? And where does it go?

Now who decided we should all stop believing that and start believing in a completely different fairy-tale? Jesus Christ? He didn't even exist... And his religion is a re-hash of ancient Egyptian religion anyway.

So yeah, like you said, all the major religions pick and choose what they want to believe and leave out the rest, I guess you could do it to. So I believe the world was created last week by a giant Dwarf named Andy, and he just makes us believe that the world is older through telepathy, and when we die we all end up in a land of candy with holy dwarves running among us. Don't mock my beliefs, you ig·no·rant person! It's all here in my book, Andy's world.

There really isn't a point to quoting this but it was really funny. You should really write books or something. Your very imaginative, and entertaining. You could be a millionare:thumbsup:

Google agnostic christian and MAYBE you will begin to have an inclining of a clue.

Oh, and I didn't say I didn't believe in sin, I said I believe that you ARE responsible for YOUR own actions just like aka215 said. I just think it comes back to you, you reap what you sow. A sin is just a bad thing to do in general to me. Your just supposed to be good, love everyone no matter what, don't steal, don't hurt people OR animals. Don't lie, ect, ect, ect. or else you get it back. Karma baby ;)

I think it is obvious I have at least stumped you :) So I have said the label most fitting for me is an Agnostic Christian, because I do believe in a god. You would just be an agnostic (and militant), meaning you just don't know (and whatever militant means), period. I have found you a bumper sticker and will buy it for you and send it to you if you like, seriously. Just give me an addy :) Check it out :)

Can you explain your view as an agnostic Christian? I don't want to hammer on you just understand where you're coming from.

Questions are fine, you are in no way hammering :)

I personally don't like labels, and don't subscribe to any particular one. I only mentioned that particular label because of FLESH calling it weird to believe in a christian type god, yet believe in karma. Agnostic christian is basically that. I do believe a lot of their beliefs though, and you can google this. I don't really have the time to get into it. I am married, with a 3 year old, and we are now moving to another state, YIPPEEE! It would take forever on a message board. Besides, I always like people to do their own research on a subject.
