Monotheistic (One God) or Polytheistic (many Gods).

I'm not going to ask anything more specific (Are you Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Hunduist, etc.) since there are so many divisions of religions that it'd be too confusing.

I, personally, am Monotheistic.

So, what are you?

Mono

Combination of Poly (multiple) and Pantheistic (God in nature)

You forgot atheist.

and agnostic

Antitheism will do moreso than specifics.

No God. Just us as we struggle to find the secrets of life. Once discovered we must find a planet where the human race can prosper. Then transfer the seeds to said planet where life can begin a new.

Atheist

Actually, I'm personally a Tetratheist. I believe in four gods. Not five, not three. Just four. No clue who they are, either. I just figure if they existed, there would be four of them.

reminds me of the 'holy grenade of antioch':
"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the
number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count,
neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.
Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number,
be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

atheist!

Monotheist....as if you couldn't tell.

Combination of Poly (multiple) and Pantheistic (God in nature)
ditto

I'm not religious but I do believe in a god that is comprised of the all and many entities that serve the all.

I believe the god Jeff. And the invisible pink pony (see Religion of the Pink Pony thread, by me).


actually, agnostic.

atheist

i don't know either way... but i figure that it's either none, or one, but not in the sense of a god separated from everything else like the christian god and the like... but like spinoza's god, in that god is the universe... or perhaps there are billions of gods. each of us being our own god.

Hmmm...Dak, out of curiousity, where do you get that the Christian God is somehow seperate from the Universe in which we, God's creations, exist? Personally, I've always felt that God and the Universe were one, in the sense that the Universe exists within God, and is permeated, influenced, and moved by God.


Anyhow...Christian, monotheist.

:D AIera

christian mono

Atheist, but I've been called an Autodeist.

well, they're still divided in some sense as god is not the whole universe kind of thing. like in the christian theology, i am not god, this table is not god, the floor is not god...
god is just kind of like the little man at the controls of a remote controlled car... except the car is a universe... and is somewhat left to its own devices, free will and all.

Pluralist

n 1: a philosopher who believes that no single explanation can account for all the phenomena of nature 2: someone who believes that distinct ethnic or cultural or religious groups can exist together in society.

Mono, and proud. :D

And yet directly intervened upon, directly maniuplated, and inextricably bound to God. ;)

Indeed, even freedom to choose is a gift bestowed by God. God is not so distant, is what I'm trying to say. Indeed, God seems to be making quite the opposite effort (albeit through occasionally inept followers).

born again atheist, and lovin it :D

What they said.

Umm, this question does not have enough options, surprisingly enough.

I guess you could call me polytheistic, but God the Eternal Father and his son Jesus Christ are above all other gods. They are the holiest of holies, the most high.

I am MONOtheistic in the sense that I worship only one God, through my elder brother, Jesus Christ.

hey raysia, did you see that anti-mormon jack chick tract? :twisted:

With the amount of hatred and vitriol that Jack Chick spawns, I'd be hesitant of believing his claims of Christian faith.

:? AieraTrue, when reading the anti-mormon one, I got sick to my stomoach, and chills down my spine :S

can anyone provide me with a link to a anti-atheist site? i need a laugh :D

Here's a question: What did Christ ever say to suggest that sets of christianity should seek to destroy one another, and tear apart the faith of members of other religions? I mean, honestly!

That's one Chick tract I don't expect we'll see soon...how the conflicts between the Christian churches is a direct result of Satan, and leads only to Satan.

Whoops, that would point the finger at him, wouldn't it?

Former mormon, current agnostic, intended pantheist. If anyone out there is looking for an easy convert for their bizarro faith, send me a message. All conversions must have documented proof, however. The Guinness book of world records accepts no less.

You can bar me from worship later for trivializing your faith. That is in fact goal two- record for most excommunications.

It's much easier to find anti-christian sites than anti-atheist ones.
Must be everyone loves atheists?

"The Truth is more important than the Facts."

We are a secular nation.

Secularism - The view that religious considerations should be excluded from civil affairs or public education.

We are a secular nation.I assume you mean your NS nation.

Yes, unfortunately.

The guy's a bit like me. I'm an agnostic, but I beleve if the man Jesus did exist, the stuff he said and preached was generally OK. 'Love your neighbour as you love yourself' is an amazing statement, and the world would be a much better place if more people were to stick to it.

The world would be better if we all obeyed the commandments... however, the problem lies in the fact that the devil exists, and has dominion over the world.

Woah!! I didn't say that. I only agree with a few of the commandments. Big bones to pick with some of them....And I'd like to see some 'facts' about the devil holding 'dominion over the world'.

I don't believe in a God, or several Gods, but I do believe in angels and devils. Just my system of belief.
