The political debates always get crazy, but that is because politics is all opinion. Most of the people involved in religion have a book that tells them that they are correct and the other religions are wrong. At least they have a starting point. (Couldn't resist.

In the British Army there is a long standing tradition that in the officers mess three subjects are banned from discussion.
1. Religion
2. Politics
3. Women
There is a reason why these three subjects were banned. They led to so to many fights, arguments and duels that they risked threatening the very fabric of the professional army. Many would do well to head the old traditions and have no cause for complaint when the predicted difficulties come their way.
This thread, however was not started as a point for discussion. It's a poll. There is no need to discuss anything, nor even reply to anything. Its simply a means to survey the religious beliefs held by other members.
I do not doubt that it too will succumb to the arguments and bashings of its precursors however.

QuoteYet. Those of us who've been around here for a few years have seen these types of threads self-destruct over and over and over.
and over and over and over...
This thread, like so many others, is just asking for an arguement about how "my religion is right.. and how every body that dissagrees is wrong....
But, if you don't want to burn in hell for eternity
My god can save you from your pre existing condition... Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Shit! I hope that I just didn't take the religious troll bait.

QuoteI can see why - but it does not have to go in that direction if everyone respects one another's religious or spiritual views.
While that would be wonderful... I know better than to think it will happen. I live in the real world.

Sure. I don't want to sell you this bridge, I just want your opinion on it. However, if you'd like to buy it, I can give you a good price.
Here is the approach:
1. "It's such a beautiful day"
2. "Such beauty can't be an accident"
3. "So where did it come from?"
4. "Well let me tell you about it...I mean, just for discussion sake..."
Isn't that one of the problems of trolls. If you respond to tell them they're busted, they succeed. 
Well I'm going to continue like this was just a well-intentioned innocent poll.
What do I believe? I believe that cable tv should have no commercials, I'm already paying for it. Also, more boobies. No commercials and more boobies, then life is good.

QuoteI believe that my relationship with what I believe is God is personal
I'm another one that thinks one's religious or spiritual beliefs are personal. I wouldn't mind discussing them with a close friend in person.

Errr........Normaly I'd agree with you but Skymonkey1 is a moderator, its his responsibiliy to keep an eye on this thread.

if you are certain of the existance of a supreme being, you are not agnostic. agnostics will not commit to the existance or non-existance of a deity. they simply don't know. Deists, on the other hand, believe in the existance of a supreme being, yet deny "relevation" religions, religions that base their teachings on texts such as the bible. A deist believes that everything you need to know about God can be observed in the world around you, and can be discovered using your own logic.

your poll is woefully short of answers and decidedly biased by the ones it has...
open your mind, god is everywhere and cares nothing for any of the dogma man has created...
maybe you should try using the search function before you start yet another thread on this topic too....

Hey, let's get another poll going with people placing bets to see how long this threads goes before it gets locked or disappears. Person with the closes time bet gets a free skydive
To the greenies, you know you all have my full support. You all do a great job.

I'm with the other moderators on this one. I believe that if you do a search, you'll pretty much already know what everyone believes on multiple threads.

Hmmm.....well now I'm confused as to what I am.
I'm really not sure of the existence of a God, which leans me toward agnosticism. However, sometimes I like to think there is one, as it provides a certain level of comfort when I need it. Still I can't prove either way, and that drives me mad.
So does that make me Agnostic or Deist???

OMG, I am taken aback. Is that our sweet little Andrea talking like that. Okay, who stole Andrea's password and logged on in her name?

LOL...no, that's really Kevin Costner talking like that. But, I think you'll have a few people rolling on the floor laughing if you're surprised that I would talk like that!

That's not so bad...

Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
if you're not sure, you're agnostic. You can't prove it one way or another, you don't know.
if you're sure, and that sureness is built on observation and your own logical deduction, rather than religions preaching or texts, you're deist.

I gather that.. but hey, let's innocent until proven guilty -
It would be a shame if folks could not discuss this and be respectful of each other as well, but maybe that's as good as it gets @ DZ.COM. Haven't been on here long enough to know, but trying to think positive -
