I believe you Live, Pay Tax and then you die and thats it theres nothing else, no god, no eternal life, no second chances. Dead, gone, finished... despite believing this do I fear death... No for it is these reasons I do not fear death because when I'm dead thats it, I wont know any different. I'm scared of being blind but if I was born blind I wouldn't mind as much. I'd take death over a lot of things and I don't care about talk that god owns my life. I own my own destiny, to do with what I want, and no-one but me has that right and if I oneday fall ill, too ill to do things for myself, no recovery then suicide is a definate option!

Saitunes, something you said bothers me. It's right here:
Since 99.9% (and more) of the people who have ever lived did not have the opportunity to do great, world changing things like Ghandi or Mother Teresa, is it even fair to judge those who, lacking the opportunity for visible greatness, just did what they could each day for those around them on the same scale of accomplishments?

I believe in God. I Also find that we are now in the book of revlations. If you read it you will find that all most of what it says is now happening. I know that the bible is hard to follow but with gods help and a bible that has refrences you can determin what they are telling you.

Well i lived with my mother but was raised catholic by my grandmother, she even put me into a catholic school for a couple of years, to this day i am not a steady church going person, I married into a greek family and they are greek orthodox, we wanted to be married in the church because of his family so i had to learn and study and take classes on the orthodox religion, which turned out to be almost the same exact as catholic, with a few small differences. it was interesting to find out. I still am not a church going person, although i do believe in god. I think thats all that matters is that you believe not how you believe, I really dont think someone should be made to believe in a religion. Like some want to go door to door and puch there religion upon you, I dont believe this is right. Everyone has a right to there own opinion and there iwn beliefs. Iunderstand that some may not agree with me and im not asking you to. All I say is I do believe in god. But i dont want to be made to believe in any certain religion.

I believe in jesus and his works. I believe in Christianity, but it's not about being christian or not! God is not a denomination or even a religion. IT's a relationship! You hear so many people claiming to be christians, catholics, baptists and all those things, but do they really live out their life with God beside them daily?

I was born in a buddhist family, raised catholic, "used to be self proclaimed agnostic" (i believed in a god but i did not know him), and reborn a christian. But none of that tell says i am a rigtheous person more than going out and having a relationship with god!

Now i know there are muslims, jehovah's witness, and other religions that do not believe in the full works of jesus christ, but thats a while nother part of "the truth."

I have full respect with people who have their own relationships with god and i am not going to say that your believes are wrong and mine is right! IT has taken me 22 years for me to fully understand this and i am one of the lucky ones to find out so early!

I dont base my entire religion on just a feeling i have with "my" God, but i base it on the bible as well as my study in christian apologetics.

The bible was written by man, but they are god's words so i believe everything in the bible is from god! I am not an apologis, but i like to learn a lot about my faith!

So far, i have not found any evidence that disproves christianity. I have not found found any evidence that disproves evolution either, but the thing that makes me believe in a God is basically, it takes less faith for me to believe that something came from GOD than something came from nothing!

this may not make sense to you at first but just think about this!
1. God is all knowing, all powerful, and all present. He is perfect and created everything!
2. BY chance, 1 cell came and reproduced itself perfectly to be able to keep reproducing itself in a lifeless world and evolved to make every living thing on earth! (imagine mars or any other planet and just out of nowhere, a cell appears.)

Thank you for your contribution, jjaenagle. That is an interesting, even evocative, question and we could all do with asking it of ourselves. I have met many who do and too many who don't, but claim to.

I believe in Hinduism.

Why?
because i was brought up with it via parents and that's how i choose it. It wouldn't be correct if i went and believed in other religions.
But thats not the case because i believe n Hinduism 100%.

It's one of the oldest religions and also has pictures of Gods unlike other religions and also has many things happening in the world which support Hinduism.
Such as shrines in India of gods in a temple were turning from silver to gold, it was all recorded and on the news in India.

I Personally belive that Jesus is the Divine healer. Let me Start with an incident which truly took place .Barbara, a resident of Texas, got affected with multiple sclerosis when she was 15 years. She could not walk without the help of a cane. Seven years later, she had breathing problems, and her lungs and the intestines were failing. She had the worst type of MS. But in June 1981, the believers in that district came to know about her plight and they started sending her promise prayer cards.

Two people from the local Church came and prayed over her. At that time, Barbara heard an assuring voice telling her, “My child, get up and walk.” Her faith soared. Others did not hear the voice but she did get up and walked down the hall to the amazement of everyone in her family and in the hospital. Halleluiah! GOD HEALS! HE HEALS EVEN TODAY!

In Acts chapter 3, we read about greater miracle. A man crippled from his birth stood up, walked, jumped and praised God, when Peter and John ministered to him. There was no chance for his healing. Yet, the Lord, the divine Healer, did heal him – and made him whole in a moment. Miracles are not extraordinary to our Lord but only very natural and ordinary to Him. We see two criteria here regarding the healing received. Firstly, the healing was by the name of JESUS! Secondly, it was received through faith in His name. He is not only the Healer, He is also the Author and Perfecter of faith!
