Rough Poll on Religion

[Whickerman]

Could we have a quick show of hands please?

Could you state what you'd class your religion as, just out of curiosity? Just one liners, and if you practice or not

[Theland]

maybe they told fibs

[Lighter]

90% who were released. What percent of those that first went in??
I'd say saying that you've had a life changing experience and 'found' God might get you a few years off at a parole hearing.

[Theland]

Lighter - good answer - I bet that parole board never suspected that their reform programme was in fact, flawed.

[maxximus]

exactly my point. as i said, pointless.

[Theland]

not pointless for those who genuinely converted surely? For those who turned their lives around. Such people really do exist you know?

[wizard69]

"Yawn"...

[wizard69]

is this thread goin' anywhere now that its been highjacked by the fundies?

[wizard69]

lets put the "fun" back into fundemental!!!
But dont forget to put the "mental" in either.........
Oh! God, I'm sticking needles into my eyes even as we type
eeeeeeoooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!
That hurt....

[mibn2cweus]

Thought you'd never ask

[naomi24]

Even though a couple of people here seem to be more interested in impressing their own views on everyone, I'd like to know what others believe so is there any chance of sticking to the question? Thanking you in anticipation!!

Raised Roman Catholic, not really bought into the whole Christian or other major religious stuff, I find it nauseatingly flawed. I do however practice Kaos Magick which is not the worship of anything, it's the manipulation of things, so I imagine you'd say I'm not really religious at all.

[chakka35]

Thank God I'm an atheist. Who would want to be as insufferable as Theland?

[ck1]

Agnostic

[annavc]

Atheist and proud of it.

[jenstar]

None.

[Theland]

chakka35 - Thank you for that. I guess I'm not invited round for dinner with your friends then?

[Theland]

Noxlumos - Would you say that your pracitce of Kaos Magick has contributed to your happiness, if you are indeed happy and contented?

[WaldoMcFroog]

Atheist. Not a lot to practice really. 'Today I must work extra hard at not believing in imaginary things...'

[saxy_jag]

I thought I was agnostic until this week.

I've just finished "The God Delusion.

I'm an atheist.

[noxlumos]

Hi Theland I would say yes it's certainly helped, in a practical more than anything else sense. I'm a much calmer more controlled person because of it I think, wheras before I was very angry and out of control a lot of the time. It requires quite a disciplined technique so I think I'm more measured, careful, complete and therefore happy because of the work involved, although not necessarily the process itself.
