Question Question about religion?





What religion would I belong to if I only believe in god?

I was born a Catholic but I don’t follow that.

Would that make me an Atheist?

Now please I know how you religious folks get bent out of shape…so take it easy.

Chef: Stan, sometimes God takes those closest to us, because it makes him feel better about himself. He is a very vengeful God, Stan. He's all pissed off about something we did thousands of years ago. He just can't get over it, so he doesn't care who he takes.Children, puppies, it don't matter to him, so long as it makes us sad. Do you understand.

Stan: But then, why does God give us anything to start with?

Chef: Well, look at it this way: if you want to make a baby cry, first you give it a lollipop. Then you take it away. If you never give it a lollipop to begin with, then it would have nothin' to cry about. That's like God, who gives us life and love and help just so that he can tear it all away and make us cry, so he can drink the sweet milk of our tears. You see, it's our tears, Stan, that give God his great power.

Why do you need to decide now? Follow Vieope´s principle of religion. It´s fun, you just decide when you die.
You do bad things in life then you die, if you go to hell you are a christian, if you born again as a cat you are a buddhist and so on..

I See, I was asked once if I go to church and I told them no. They say that if I don't go to church then I don't believe in God.
I will now call you Reverand Vieope.
What are your 10 commandments Vieope?

If you believe in God as a Supreme Spirit, one who created the universe and you leave it at that, and don't follow any church's teachings or religion, you'd be a Deist (dee-ist).

Uh... no. Not to worry. Deist is from Latin 'deus', god, as is the word 'deity'. A Deist is one who believes in a deity, a god.

whether you go to church or not, and whether you believe in god or not is your choice, who cares what anyone else thinks?

I thought there was a term, agnostic. Its means you believe in god, but you are not sure about anything else. I'm not sure about that either.



" I cannot be defeated; the only thing that can defeat me is my mind."

In life, if you don't stand for something,
You will fall for everything.
And if you keep trying to be everything you're not,
You'll end up missing out on
Everything you were meant to be.

Agnostic is when you believe in something that can be proved.

Agnostic is when you do not believe or disbelieve, so one would say I do not know if there is a god, I cannot prove there is or prove there is not.
