Poll: What's you religious platform...or lack there of?

[Joe Williams]

Those quotes were written by men who thought it was OK to own another human being.When your slave drives you to church, something is wrong.

So were the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution.

Oh, I'm a Christian. However, I find Hinduism and Buddhism to be very interesting cultures and they have some interesting practices that I think we Christians could benefit from. Such as meditation, healing powers, and harnessing the power of the mind.

I also find Wiccan to be a very interesting belief system as well. Go figure why.

Thomas Jefferson also owned slaves.
ya know, the guy that wrote the Declaration of Independence. One of the main reasons you get to live in this country. Most of our founding fathers had slaves. AND believed in God.
I do not in any way believe slavery is right, But i do believe God exists.

I live in this country because I was born here and like my father, grandfather and now my son, I served my country with pride. Jefferson is not the best example of a christian to use. Wasn't he married when he got several of his slaves pregnant?

If memory serves me correctly...

Was not Jefferson and several of our Founders in fact not Christian, but in fact Deists?!

Oh yes, a great many of them were not Christians! I thought about going on a big spiel about it but decided to just let this thread simmer instead of take it to a boil lol.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thomas Jefferson said "It hurts me not, if my neighbor believes in many gods, or none."

The founders were a very diverse crowd; but, I am sure am glad that they vehemently agreed religion is good, needed for moral basis in a country and that they were going to create a system where it is possible!

<pet peeve time>
THAT, Sir, is because far too few people actually understand the scientific method and confuse "fact" with "theory" and "law". The problem is not in science, but in people trying to use that misdunderstanding of science to support their own presuppositions and agendas. This finger is not pointing at any one belief structure, this type of ignorance is widespread, even among some "scientists."

I believe that someone should believe in something, being a deity-type, or a set of ideals and principles or what have.

I don't look at my faith as a "religion". I have a relationship with a living God, who sent his son to die for my sin and transgressions at Calvary. I have been re-affirmed many times of his existence. I believe God is not someone you can't just believe in, you must experience him in full, unwavering faith.

To answer the Poll, Christian. But it SOOO much more than just a title or label.

 

[Deer_Slayer_90]

Ok i dont mean to sound rude or anything, but i have been wondering this fr a while...
First off, i have been saved, and i am born again.
...But...
Scientology makes some sense too, you know?
I believe in god as a higher being, and i believe he gave his only son for our sins, but i also believe in, ghosts, aliens, and evolution.
does this make me a "bad christian?"

I'm saved also. I don't think that believing in evolution etc...necessarily makes one a "bad christian", I think most of what is included in the Bible is subject to interpretation and a lot of stories were actually even left out of the canonized version.... What we know as the Bible today is not really complete due to the fact that the Catholic church and King James only included/accepted what suited their needs for power and control over the people. This is a pretty deep philosophical topic for a gun forum, and I'm sure I'll be flamed into oblivion for my views, but it is what it is and many men/women have spent entire lifetimes trying to figure it out. When the rapture comes, we will know for sure, until then, the key word is "FAITH". See you there

 

[BloodEclipse]

Unabashedly Agnostic.
I am not anti-religion.
We all have a right to believe what we will.
That is a right I will fight for.

 

[Indysioux]

Wow, the Atheist/Agnostic/Nontheist category is really making a strong showing.

I voted Christian.
