Religious Y/N?

[Mo0rbid]

note: Being spiritual is not the same thing as being religious.

[Haart Maystorm]

I coulda sworn on my left nut that there was a poll almost exactly like this just last week...

[Xarthas]

Is forumfall a religion?

[Thoric]

The lack of a fun option makes me a sad panda.

[Nehemia]

I have my own view on Christian religion, it differs from bible to some extent. In addition, I won't run around preaching for it, or do stuff because I belive in existance of God. No, I just belive theres a higher power behind the birth of planet earth, and whoever created it (God) hasn't cared about it since the appearance of human race. (Thus Adam & Eve is a literal message stating the same fact.)
Perhaps god happens to be tricksy sometimes.
And if he answers to your prayers, it won't be through miracles.

That was Atheist vs Theist afaik.

[Villa]

I hope you all realise that God is watching and making notes of your names.

[Dirty l3um]

By religious, i meant that i believe in the God of the Bible, Jesus is the Christ.

[Thorpeyrox]

Nahhh, I don't believe in God just reincarntion however I do not worship in anyway.

[Everto]

I have a religion, but I do not follow it.

Just incase the Spanish Inquisition rolls by on their horses again.

[LordRolo]

Nothing good will come of this thread TBH

that and it has already been discussed to a great degree on forum fall

USE SEARCH

[Dirty l3um]

this thread shoudnt turn out too bad, since brannoc is now really enforcing the whole "hate speech = ban" thing

HA!

[ClownFoot]

Wow, this must be the first time anyone has ever made a religion thread on forumfall.

[Arkh]

Wow, this must be the first time anyone has ever made a religion thread on forumfall.
Yeah, totally the first time eva. I lurk since '89 and I never saw one here.

[Bunkah]

It's a bannable topic if you're not smart about what you say! :)

[Woodiwood]

No

[Blixa]

No

Same here. Religion is stupid *puts flamesuit on*

[Death's Chill]

I do not believe in a God, personal nor impersonal. Nor do I believe in any sort of supernatural business, reincarnation, anything spiritual; "superstitions" and such.

[Justinian]

sick of newbs making religion posts Y/N

That would be Deism.

Paging Mushukyou for: Zealotry and Witch-hunting.

[Haart Maystorm]

Woah woah wait! Everyone stop voting; the 'No' is at 69.

EDIT: Damn... well, carry on.

You're not describing the Christian religion, though. Christianity believes the son of God came to earth, which you probably don't believe if I read your post correctly.

So you're not Christian.

Believing there's a God (whatever form of creator that might be) doesn't make you religious and even less so Christian.

[Ferox]

I'm a lay Buddhist disciple... so no.

[Rimayven]

This poll needed a 'breasts' option.

[Gloomrender]

N. And that's wrong in most cases.

[ZeaL-]

The bible is probably the only book out there that does such a tremendous amount of damage to a readers mind.

There's dianetics too.

He should be tough on the causes of hate imo, like these retarded threads every damn week.

[Lictor]

Religion is the opium of the masses.

Never figured you for a religious fundamentalist spinewire.

[Spinewire]

I'm not. I just dislike people spouting cliched shit, every time you get one of these threads you will get someone who thinks they are some fucking well of infinite wisdom regurgitating this one liner.

Infact i may even be so bold as to extend this to any quote used in an argument or discussion unless it is for comedic effect. Repeating what someone else has said is not clever, unless it's code for "i'm well read" in which case i would find it even more obnoxious.

edit- It just occurred to me it i could have been trolled into next week, but fuck it my statement still stands.

Also 4 posts up, is my sig displaying for everyone else?

[Honest Bill]

I think he was facepalming at the fact he said 'opium' which is a mis-quote,


Anyway the bible cannot damage anybody's mind. It's just a collection of books, nothing more than words. How can this possibly damage somebody's mind?

The same way any media can.

Good thing it's a private poll then.

EDIT: and no Spinewire, I can't see your sig either.

[Enticle]

No

Brainwashing...

Delusions...

Promotion of violent behavior...

Etc...

Most people get that one wrong, which makes is even more annoy than usual.

Must be due to the hightend homosexuality brought about by all really shit threads lately.

[Honest Bill]

No, a book is an inanimate object, there is nothing inherently damaging about it. So therefore there must be another factor which is missing. That is if we are to assume that anybody's mind has actually been damaged at all

It's not a rock or piece of wood. Books have these things called words in them, which form a system called language, you might be familiar with it...as a matter of fact, were using this language stuff right now! Amazing!, I know!!! You take it for granted but were alwayz uzing it! Neato! Anyway...Books express another thing called ideas, which affect people mentally...you can use language, now that you know what it is and how it works, to find out what that means. Good luck!

[shnedit]

Of fucking course not. Stop with homoerotic polls.

Ah so that's how it works. I am assuming then that you will also be familiar with interpretation. A book is just like a rock or a piece of wood. except people have transmitted ideas and conveyed messages to other people. How is it that you were able to read these stories and yet your mind remains so pristine?

[Jackhowitzer]

Now someone needs to complete the forumfall circle of jackassery, who's it gonna be? :P I smell someone calling someone else a nazi in the air and comparing them to Hitler!

Where do you get off telling people what to do? you sound like.... i dunno .... some sort of famous dictator whose name i can't quite remember

[Gloomrender]

Hitler was Jesus reincarnated, imo. If you compare photos of Hitler to medieval paintings, you can see the similarity.
