    For my religion, it's many deities... sort of. The greater power created the deities to regulate and take credit. To give face to the body while regulation continued.

    The three purities, the constants in existence, Space, Time, and Ether have their own sentience. These constants are what made the four regulators, which control the needed portions of the many dimensions. The regulator of creation, in fact, becoming the one to create deities for mortals to look up to and follow.

    The regulators are; The Body, The Creator, The Diminisher, and The Jailer.

    The body, which holds all dimensions and their universe.
    The creator, whom bears forth worlds and their planned evolution.
    The jailer, who holds mortals to the laws of space and time.
    Then death, who keeps our souls in check once we die. To determine the fate of our soul. Reuse; to reincarnate. Diminish; to destroy. Eternal Dreams; to place with eternal bliss. Eternal Damnation; without relief.

    I merge the first two and get God.

    I merge the last two and get the Angel of Death. Minus diminishing and reincarnation.

    Well the way Christianity works is you don't get second chances, if you mess up you go to hell, but the awesome part is Jesus Died for our Sins, and so we are forgiven, all we really have to do is accept the gift of Eternal life he is offering us. And if we do, and follow his commandments to the best of our ability then we go to heaven to live with him

    I never liked this part of the Christian Dogma. In essence as long as you believe in Jesus, you can act like a jerk and be forgiven and still get into Heaven.
    If you are nice and good and do all the good things during your life, but pick the wrong religion or don't have one and don't accept Jesus as the son of God, well then too bad - off to Hell with you.
    In this scenario, Heaven would be filled with a lot of people who aren't very nice, but believe in Jesus; Hell would have a lot of nice, good people that "picked the wrong religion".

    As much as I respect your opinion, can you please address it as an opinion, not what you did there.

    this may be the reason why i even left Christianity in the first place. God: "Believe in me or i will send you to hell where you will suffer the worst pain for eternity" why not just say "like this if you care about Haiti, or ignore it and get raped by multiple dogs and forever be hated by the world" (iydk: That is basically god's Facebook status) i was actually look at getting into religion again, so far nudism looks like my religion.

    BUDDHISM!!!! not Nudism!

    Whether you say it or believe it or whatever, when it comes down to it, any and all claims as to a religion is nothing more than a theory. You cannot prove that God exists, nor can you prove that he doesn't.

    It is nothing but 'Opinionated Fact'. You guys gotta stop saying that you're right when you could be wrong. Unless it's a fact, don't say that your opinion is fact. God may, or may not, exist, and until someone proves that he does/otherwise, we're not going to go around claiming our views are fact. Understand?

    Thank you. Let's keep this civil. And consider this a Warning, Sparky.

    Another thing that annoys me about some "religious" people is that they think about Jesus for a couple of hours every Sunday and think that they can do what they want for the rest of the week. That's basically like treating religion like a hobby.

    It's the old "Sin to be forgiven" way that too many people look at it.

    So, first off, I am a pansexual involved in the Lutheran faith, although that is not the path that I'm starting to tread.
    I recently started to get interested in Wicca mainly because I found that what I needed was a more natural approach to religion, don't get me wrong, I love Jesus as much as the next guy, but worshiping in a building no longer appeals to me, I feel a need to be closer to creation, and Wicca brings me closer to nature. I'm a solo practitioner, not because I can't find Wiccans near me, but because I'm closer to nature when by myself.

    I am rather afraid of what my parents..actually my whole extended family will think when they find out what I believe in and who I'm in a relationship with.
    I forsee they disowning me.

    Not really, Yo still answer to God for what you did, that goes for me as well as everyone else, I mean who knows, God may be lenient with people who didn't know his law, but more strict with those who do.

    Also, this is just me, But I'm pretty sure God wouldn't like me being a Jerk to someone, and because I love him- Emphasis on that part as it affects most of what I do. Because of that, I ant to please him and show him that I do.

    Ofcourse that's just me, I can see where you are coming from though.



    Testyal, what exactly was wrong with that post of mine? No where did I state what I said there was a fact, even though I believe it is, No where did I say anyone else was wrong, And I'm sorry, but I'm not going to change the way I go about explaining what I believe and what I love. If you found it offensive, in no way did I mean any offence to anyone else.

    so, what if I don't believe in god. I see no proof of him around me. Will I then have to answer for that. Of course the answer is "I don't know". Which leaves me in an interesting position doesn't it. I know of him and his ways yet refuse to believe them because I see no proof. I really would like to know the answer. Shame there is only one way to find out.
