I haven't seen one of these yet... and it always seems to generate a firestorm of conflict so...

What religion are you or what are your beliefs?

I looked up Live fans from facebook and found that most were christians. Although, most people are nervous.gif I just want to know what the real fans think.

I was raised a catholic which I certainly am not now, but I think when things are instilled in your brain at such a young age some thoughts and ideas are hard to shake. I don't really believe in any organised religion, much like Ex said though, some I really don't know all that much about. Some of the ideas and philosophies are good as far as how we should live our lives as here on Earth but for what is to come after I'm not even going to try and guess.

I've always lived my life the way I want, I'm not trying to be a saint, I am selfish to a degree like it has been said here, I'm not trying to get a reward at the end because I honestly don't believe there is one. However should their be then I'd like my life to be judged on how I lived it, not who I worshiped. I love my family (most of anyways), my friends, I am well mannered (most of the time) amoungst my fellow man and I think that is enough. I'm not going to start devoting time to worshiping something neither myself or anyone can prove exists. I know the arguement of "but you can't prove it doesn't exist either!", but to me there is much more proof in there being nothing. There are way too many flaws that are pointed out in most religions for me to think "hey they are really on to something here".

What I never understood when it pretains to life on other planets are statements like "well there is no water on that planet so it can't sustain any sort of lifeform" .. like somehow the rules on Earth and it's living beings will apply to everywhere else. Somewhere out there, there has to be other life and maybe they don't need water, or air or whatever else we have to survive, they may even have elements that we don't have here on Earth, there are probably things out there that the human brain can't even fathom really.

I agree with mr Wambangalang to a certain degree, but there are differences that do seperate us, yes we're all human beings, however it's not just ideas that seperate us and make us different, some of us just are and that is race, some are asian, some are white, some are black, I guess we can choose to let these seperate us but it does make us different. I always thought dogs were a great example, with all the different breeds and such, they are all so different yet don't really care, they don't have ideals and beliefs, you'll see a greyhound and a german shepard being the best of friends, just like you can see an asian and a black man being best of friends, but you'll never see a greyhound dismiss a shepard because of beliefs or ideals like you may with humans.

I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore smile.gif
