Post your religious views.

I couldn't stand it.  The whole standing and chanting thing...  My mom is like the only one who goes now.

Sounds like Catholicism. Catholicism is a result of Roman polytheists being forced to teach Christianity, so it's actually more pagan than it isn't. The only denomination that I believe could be true would be Baptism, and that's because it's what Jesus himself taught during his lifetime.

I should also mention that one weekend I started wearing my baptism cross.  That same weekend, my family was pretty much officially near empty on money and my grandfather died, whom I had only seen maybe twice in my life but still was a really great man.  I ripped it off and threw it into the corner of my room.  I'm sure its still there somewhere.  I considered it some sign of damnation.

Because coincidences totaly don't exist

I was once told a story,

Say if you are floating through nothingness, and you came upon a watch. A working, ticking watch. With all it's time capabilities and gears working along somehow.

Now, did that watch come into existence by accident? All those mathematical equations that work perfectly came by accident? I don't think so. There would have to be a creator of that watch. It's like humans. Not by accident, there would have to be a creator.

It's actually one of those weird middle-east "cosmopolitan", we fit in pretty well since my family is Armenian-Georgian, everyone else is from Jordan, Palestine, etc. but it's a Christian church.

Antioch church, thats what its called.

Yeah, it was pure coincidence that everything went into the stuffter and my grandfather just happened to suddenly fall ill and die.

Yeah, I'm sure a cross wouldn't do that.  Why would a cross do that, exactly?

That's how holy "signs" work.

Only part of religionxscience I agree with: where it all started. Evolution is too tried-and-true of a theory to be turned down, but it's way too hard to figure out what came first. Might as well accept what's most commonly thought of until we can find the true reason.

Human beings didn't come out of a primordial soup, an extremely simple organism did. Not a cell, not an amoeba, something less complicated than any life known on Earth now. Over the 4.2 billion years the Earth has been around, evolution could explain the origin of life from that little prehistoric prokaryote.

By the way, if humans could only be here if we were created, then how can something as powerful as God be around without a creator?

I don't know why the hell it would.  It's not like I've been secretly praying for the death of my grandfather whom I loved.

It was a baptism cross, and frankly I'd rather not discuss this anymore.

Okay

[Jorici]

I don't like discussing my religious views.

[Qwepir]

Without religion, we wouldn't have morals, either.

Not necessarily true.

[Roknrollwill]

Learn more.  Talk to a knowledgeable adult about it.

Not necessarily true.

Mostly true.

Most people back then did not have a set of morals to abide on.

[Tetris]

You know what, I think God might have designed us so we have these questions, to prove that he's real, or whether to believe in him, and for these questions to be answered when/if we get to heaven.
