Well I'm agnostic...'cause I haven't yet found a religion that really resonates with me, but I can't believe in nothing, either.

My school has Anglican chapel services that we have to go to, on occasions, something has really stood out. But, in the words of U2's Bono...'I still haven't found what I'm looking for...'

Other- I am not really religious, but I still do all the christmas and easter stuff... I believe in values and such, not a God who enforces these values.

Wow, these figures have changed dramatically since i was last here

I believe that you cant be brainwashed into believing in whatever ur parents want u to be.

I believe every person must think about what they should be believeing in and stick with that.

Islam's motto is "there is no god..... except God" you have to rule out every pre-conception u have and then impose a value or belief based on your reasoning and understanding and choice.


i think if you take that approach to religion, it becomes more meaningful. at the same time, it opens the door to a more enlightened approach to faith and more willingness to debate and challenge the assumptions of others because you are always willing to see the "truth" be put to the test :)

i am perfectly comfortable with my faith- islam.

i just think that there are some islamophobes on BOS :):jedi: i just took a peak at the current affairs section :tongue:

atheist. cos i dont believe that in the grand scheme of things humanity is very imoprtant. to us we are, but... even though the effect we may have on the environment is great,are not inherently "better" than anything else. the dealings between humans are so trivial compared to the making of stars and galaxies...
i could continue, but i would rather not create any unnecessary misunderstanding between myself and my more religious friends :)
i respect other people's right to religions, even if i do have a low opinion of the religions themselves.
