Religion

[S:a:k:u:r:a]

if you want to be a catholic why can't you just change and become one, surely you can't be forced to be a Protestent

-Because i'm not exactly getting any help/support on the issue..and apparently it isn't that simple...

well if they are your beliefs, nobody should force anything upon you. just do what your heart tells you. if you no longer want to be a protestant tell someone and ask them what you can do from there.

I was born and raised in a Catholic home and my parents made sure I knew and understood the word of the lord, but up until this past year, I didn't find much joy in learning about God or attending Church.  I actually considered giving up on God, and for that matter on life, but I attend college and I changed my major last year from Business to Early Childhood Education.  I wanted to become an elementary teacher.

One of the nuns at my church was also a teacher and she said she would help me and one of the ways she helped me was by helping me become a Catechist teacher.  I would assist her and on occasion teach a lesson.  By doing this, my faith in the Catholic church grew, along with the faith in myself!  I still go to church and I teach Catechism, and I love it!  In my personal opinion, nothing feels better than having a child love you and put their complete faith in you.  Turned my life around for the better.  And for this reason, I love my religion and I love God!

I choose not to have a religion due to the fact that there are things in the Holy Bible I don't agree with. I do believe in a higher power just not sure what it is.

there was this one car I saw yesterday...it had two bumper stickers...one said "born antheist again" and the other "thank God I'm english"

?? o.O; If you're an antheist, how can you thank God?

I so agree...everyone has their own beliefs and morals so you should just follow your heart and not get influenced by others if its against you beliefs
=) i think all relegions are good and i WISH everyone in the world believed that: there's nothing wrong with muslims, christians, buddhists, atheists (my friend's one and she can be convincing) or any other relegion, with me?

What's an Agnostic?

[monkey]

my fav Definition of an Agnostic:

An agnostic is a person who believes that the existence of a greater power, such as a god, cannot be proven or disproved; therefore an agnostic wallows in the complexity of the existence of higher beings.

Agnostics on religion (Christianity, Islam, Buddhists, etc): Religious zealots are often viewed as ignorant by agnostics’ because of their blind following of a supreme being which may or may not exist. Agnostics will often question the existence of a supreme power because a lot of modern religious beliefs have no basis in modern logic; therefore blind following of popular religions is viewed as an easy out for people who chose not to think for themselves.

Agnostics on atheism: On the other end of the spectrum, unlike atheists, an agnostic uses a more scientific approach to their belief system. An agnostic knows that just because there is no physical proof of the existence of a higher being, it dose not automatically mean that one does not exist. An agnostic views an atheist on the same plane as a religious zealot; often because the belief that human beings are the pinnacle of intelligence and there are few things that we do not or have the potential to understand.

The realization of knowing that “we cannot know everything” is the backbone of the agnostic belief.

Christian Zealot: God loves you and everyone. He will save you
Agnostic: Prove it.

Athiest: There is no way that a god can exist.
Agnostic: Prove it.

In Short: Someone who is not arrogant enough to think they KNOW whether God exists or not.

Good definition. Thank you.

well, never heard of an agnostic before but your definition clears it up.

An agnostic is a person who believes that the existence of a greater power, such as a god, cannot be proven or disproved; therefore an agnostic wallows in the complexity of the existence of higher beings.

so is it kind of a mix of everything?
sounds

The realization of knowing that “we cannot know everything” is the backbone of the agnostic belief.

I like that: we cannot know everything - i agree. well i don't have anything else to say...so...see ya =)

I study all religions, but essentially I don't believe in forms, or limits in life. I also don't believe that there is
any salvation for a person except for their own search for truth in life.
