Which religion do you belong to?
Bored, so I thought I'd make a topic.
Anyway, I don't belong to any religion. I'm an atheist. Please, no flaming or anything, I just want to see everyone's religion (I doubt anyone here would really flame though; I've yet to see any real trolls here).

Hahaha nice! I thought i was the only one who knew about that. The flying spaghetti monster is badass lol.
Well, my family calls me a christian, but I don't concider myself one. I basically chose it because i didn't see the none option... I've got my own set of beliefs i live by, don't go to church or anything.
I hereby start the church of Gimmickology
!! All hail ye mighty green one!
Just have individual beliefs
Mass religions are stupid, theyre all cults
Just have individual beliefs
Yeah, thats pretty much my philosophy.
A true atheist. I used to be an agnostic months ago, but that quickly changed and I became an atheist.
I would be surprised if anybody well educated in higher math or physics doesn't at least wonder about how everything fits so nicely together.
religion and politics
Its not a taboo subject but rather one that should not be discuss and just left alone
Yeah, i agree. Its ok to state your religion, but lets not get into a deep discussion with this one...
Well, I would contend that on both of the offending subjects, getting outside your comfort zone in a deep discussion is the only way to get to the root of what you really believe.
To be more specific, I affiliate myself with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints commonly called Mormons
Theres two things that should really never be discuss because of the flame wars/ riots that break out because of it (not saying that that is happening here)

That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. Those are two of the most important concepts in society due to how they affect each one of our lives so utterly and completely, and therefore they are the two subjects that should be openly discussed the MOST.
I definitely do not reject religion. If anything, I think its a very good thing to believe in something, especially if it instills good values. I'm just not religious.
We have a Christmas tree in our house, though.
I'm nothing. I definitely think there's got to be something out there... but It's not going to affect how I live my daily life.

Good values according to 'whom'?
Perhaps the Universe created itself... or perhaps the universe has always existed, it just recycles itself. Mater or energy cannot be created or destroyed, therefore it simply changes. Or the universe was created upon the death of another universe whch imploaded on itself. Or, there is a god which set the initial spark of existance into motion.
And humans on the other hand is another issue. Life could have been a random accident, and we are merely the product of complex chemical reactions which have buit upon themselves and change thus shaping our DNA through random mutations over the course of time. This could go on and on, but these are some of the philisophical questions I have concidered.
There is also the option of inteligent design that a being or force called life into existence and created the various creatures of the earth.
I tend to disbelieve in an inteligent force, I believe that existence is the product of randomness and chaos rather than the logical structure and order we as humans like to put everything in the universe in. Also, there are so many different belifs, beliefs by man which have contradicted each other throughout history. If there is a god, I believe man can not possibly comprehend its true nature as it is a force greater than ourselves.
The universe IS UNBELIEVABLY structered and balanced, math is just our way of 'describing' and figuring out the physics that make up our universe. Everything, EVERYTHING on this planet has a purpose!!
The human mind can create its own logic, but logic is essentially theory. Purhaps human logic is entirely wrong . The point is humanity can and will never know everything. thats where philosophy and religion comes in. The point is Logic, Religion, Philosophy, Science, are products of the human mind ; they are merely questions, tools in which we use to try to understand out world. The point is nobody knows the answer until the moment we die and face whatever lies after life. I believe that existance is merely a guessing game, nothing is certain, our personal beliefs, perceptions, etc. shape our own views of existance.
