Noticed in a poll that were a large number of monothiests on this site. So I guess that means you believe in one God.
But which monothiestic faith are you?

No-one here is a monothiest.

Actually it seesm that the majority are christians (including me) therefore we are monotheists. Christians only believe in one god. :)

Oh, really? What about "trinity" ?

Quite amusing and true of me as well.

Other, I worship money.

Jewish- god doesn't rock my socks, but I can stand it.

Judaism all the way, bitch!

But there are other monotheistic religions besides the Judeo-Christian faiths, why aren't they on the poll?

Did you deliberately leave out "Atheist", or was it an oversight?

My brain hurts...again!

Ahem...

Maybe if you'd actually done your homework, you'd know that the "trinity" are three parts of one whole.

3 different aspects of God. However if you would like a nice little example of polytheism in the bible, check out psalm 82

Man, I've heard this so many times but it still makes me laugh, lol!

The Trinity originated from a Pagan derived thinking. Maybe christians should do their own homework and maybe even try to explain how 1=3. Since all three parts are entities of their own, how do they add up to just one, while all being the same?

Some history of the Trinity (http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/kersey_graves/16/chap24.shtml)
Here's some more shit (http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=57213&highlight=origin+trinity)
Thought this might help as well (http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/gods.html)

I practice Falun Gong.

Look it up.

Oh, really? What about "trinity" ?Maybe if you'd actually done your homework, you'd know that the "trinity" are three parts of one whole.You shouldn't be so sure. After all the concept of trinity has only been brought up to solve some theological problems about the nature of Jesus. And by the way this concept is the same as has always been applied in the Egyptian religion where the gods were all but different aspects of a single divine entity.
And you may not know this, but prior to the Exodus the Hebrew religion was not monotheistic. So is Judaism or Christianity really so monotheistic? Yah and El had in ancient times been two distinct deities and were only merged into one after the Hebrew guest-workers had left Egypt (from were they took over all rituals and concepts that they later claimed to be their own, also no real monotheism there).

Deist.

You got nothing ;)

Actually it was more of a sense of practical monotheism regardhing Yah and El. The patriarchs all called him by different names (bull, fear, el ohim, etc) but he was revealed to be one god, who they all called by different names. However, large parts of the bible and jewish ritual have been blatantly nicked from surrounding areas.

Is worshiping Satan a religion? :mp5:

*Evil laugh*

Someone else addressed your point.
I would like to help you on this though.
If one is to take the Bible at its basic word.
It says no "craven images."
And "No other gods before me", one implies Idolatry.
The other implies the worship of other gods, not false gods.
SO if the bible is confirming "other gods" and you believe the bible to be correct, then arent you a polytheist?
Dont you believe in what the bible tells you clearly exists, and expects you to make a choice.
Or did I read misread that stuff?

All night long? I would frankly prefer my girlfriend over an invisible being that is not provable (faith is not proof).

Didn't God say that the route to happiness is through a bacon sandwich?

I believe in nothing and everything, because i believe that we will never know the answers so all of them could be right you can argue all day but chistianity vs brian the giant jellyfish who created all, are both equally valid beliefs. So to me if you say you believe in some religion then you know everything because you claim to know how everything was created and if you don't know everything then how can you say you know how everything was created or that your faith is true because in the gaps in your knowledge could be something that disproves everything you believe, how do you know that you are being decieved (and don't say faith because the very nature of deception is wholey believing in something but being deceived)

Nuts to Judiism!

Jediism is where its at, baby!

Shamanic Practitioner here. definitely not monotheistic. I don't believe in 'gods' or 'goddesses' as a lot of religeonms do. I believe that everything has a spirit, plants, animals, rocks, mountains, lakes, even the Earth. Some spirits are more powerful than others. Through interation with these spirits we can learn and grow in our connection to the natural world.

We, king of Zhaïd and Cormyr's chosen representative, hereby let it be known that the official Zhaïdri religion is such as has been taught us by Hansalem, blessed Prophet of Cormyr, who liberated the minds of the first of us and gave us the Book detailing His worship. Also let it be known that no Zhaïdri is to invoke the name of another, false, god by penalty of death and that foreigners, while tolerated in their heretical ways, are advised to keep a low profile about their so-called "religion".

We, Zhaïd's governing body, are aware that these measures might seem overly strict and perhaps even dictatorial to the unenlightened, but as herder of the Zhaïdri populace, We are responsible for the immortal souls of Our subjects, and will take any action necessary to protect or redeem said souls.

Cormyr's blessing upon thee.

I had to read that twice before discovering that it didn't say "God rots my socks". It's not a phrase I've heard before.

Not all Christians believe in the Trinity. The Nestorians for example [pretty bad one though, not quite sure if they are still around]
