What do you believe?

Posted by JID on Dec. 23, 2011, 10:25 p.m.

with Christmas coming up, it'd be cool to talk about things considering religion and your position on all that. i've always been kind of interested in what people believe, because sometimes, they say some pretty interesting and deep things that make you think.

when answering, think of some of these questions to get you started:

do you believe in god or some form of deity and do you believe they exist? why or why not.

how do you believe mankind originated?

do you believe we will ever find out how and where mankind originated with undeniable or at least somewhat creditible evidence?

what do you think of all these other planets, solar systems, galaxies, etc. and do you believe we will ever find life out there?

i am very interested in knowing what you guys think.

now, hopefully, no one will make this get out of hand, but just in case, don't post anything that is purposely offensive to others. try to keep it reasonable and please, try to keep an open mind about this.

edit: i don't think I've mentioned my religion and all that stuff i believe in.

i am christian, so yeah, i believe in god. :p

but i'm not the type of christian who forces their beliefs all over you, and judge and insult you and you're religion, if you don't believe what i do.

I dont like people that are like the ones that p4e described, but I do believe in God.

My belief:

There is a God.

I believe in the bible, however I do not believe that it should be attempted to be followed word for word. Its been translated and interpreted for thousands of years. I think there a lot of strong points that are pretty interesting though.

Like acid, I have prayed for certain things for some people, and sometimes I really felt like a few of them were answered. One being that I would find a gf, and that I would influence her with my belief's. I didnt try any harder but a week or so later i ended up finding a girl i would date for a while, and talked about it, but she never really believed it.

As for the life after death conversation, I dont find it as a comfort really, but more of just interesting on the interpretation of the afterlife. A lot of details are put into the process in the bible, but everything is just metaphors and other descriptions. Having everyone who believed in God and the messiah able to live in a new world after this world is 'scorched' I thought was pretty interesting the way it was described. The church that i somewhat attend really looks into the details and depicts them somewhat literally though, which is somewhat annoying.

I never thought of the afterlife like what SMP was saying. That is an interesting thought.
