Here is a poll to see what way we are all divided up. Just vote on the poll and make a comment if you wish. This is not to be a debate over which religion is best.

I'm a member of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints and i cast my vote in the "Buhddist" column cause I guess I'm not Chrisian.... ha, ha. Looks like I fooled all of you, I was just kidding, I voted in "Christian" cause I am.

Religion is for sheep. I believe in a higher power, but not in mans ability to understand the true nature of that power. I certainly don't need an organization to indoctrinate me with their antiquated version of what that power is. I also don't believe in the need for an intermediate to facilitate my communication and worship of that higher power. I can stand up and talk to 'God' myself thank you.

I would'nt call atheism a religion, really. It's the disbelief in religion or the worshiped. I'm agnostic, but that is not a religion, more a lack-there-of.

Aha, a neoplatonist, maybe? :wink: Either that or an E. Orthodox Christian.. You should read Plotinas, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite or maybe John Scotus Eriugena, if you haven't.

I'm an Atheist. I simply don't believe a god or greater power is necessary in my life.

Then you are Catholic.
Your faith has nothing to do with your heritage...
If you were baptised Catholic....then you are Catholic.

A person's faith should not depend on who dunked them in what water.

It should depend on the convictions which they put into daily practice.

No, no, no. Rule #1 of Religious debate: Atheists always know more about your beliefs than you do. :wink:

Rule #2: Slogans can and will take the place of logical argument. You will accept this always. :P
