religion help: what religion are you? - Help.com

Agnostic, more of a philosophy then religion i suppose, its when you don’t know whether there is or isn’t any sort of higher being so you become Switzerland and don’t pick a side

… catholic… er…. we believe in one god, but he has three parts to him, his son jesus, himself, and the holy spirit, we believe in the sanctity of the holly mother mary, and we believe that the saints are a vehicle of communication to god, er, and we believe that jesus was crucified, and that he came back from the dead in three days to fulfill the prophesy…. idk how else to describe it.

Catholic as well. It centers around the concept of original sin, when Adam ate the apple in Paradise. Jesus, the son of god, allowed himself to be crucified in order to die for all of our sins. By dieing on the cross he saved us from our sins and gave us the path to everlasting life, ie heaven.

Non-religious spiritual and an agnostic(in the 55 to 90% belief range, yeah it varries a lot lol)

Basically it means im not agnostic but i also dont follow a specific religion. I believe in whatever i feel like at the moment and dont have any traditions i have to follow.

im kinda straddling the line between being agnostic and being an atheist.

No religion. However, on the subject of deities, I’m an atheist.

When I say atheist, I mean strong atheist. A strong atheist is a person who believes that no deities exist. (As opposed to a weak atheist. A weak atheist is a person who only does not believe in any deities, but does not believe that there are no deities. A weak atheist can be agnostic.)

If i went into detail about my belifs it usually gets people confused but very interested lol

its hard and i dont have a chair to sit in so i wont lol

I’m a Christian. I believe that God created heaven and earth and everything in it. I believe that God created people and all living creatures. When Adam sinned, being the first human being, he created a rift between us and God. God then sent His Son, Jesus, to earth so that He could teach us about who God really is, and why He wants a relationship with us, and how to live for God. God then allowed Jesus to die on the cross as a ransom for us, even though He never sinned, so that He could close that rift between us and God. I now have a relationship with God because of His Son, Jesus who took away my sin. Hope this helps.

Studying Judaism (haven’t converted via Rabbi yet)

How to describe it though, I’m not sure. It’s one of the Abrahamic religions, Catholism stemmed from it in Roman times. It’s mostly based around tradition and following the scriptures in what Christian sects and a lot of other people describe int the bible as “The Old Testament” but we don’t like to call it that, it’s not old to us, and we don’t have The New Testament. It’s reffered to as the Torah, and is kept securely in synagogues on a scroll parchment, rather then mass produced into print. They’re hand-written by a group of to be unique and sacred.

Basic belief, that the Messiah has not yet come, and Jesus was a prophet. Usually called Rabbi Christ. When the Messiah comes, it will be a day of redemption, and Jewish, along with the gentiles of the Jewish people (friends, and those who have not caused harm to them, etc) shall rise from the holy land (Jeruselum) and live in peace.

That’s technicalities of it though. To put it simply God is the creator of the Earth, the Universe, everything in it, and we serve him to be good people, or the best we can be, earning us to live in heaven when the time comes for us to. (Either before or after the Messiah, whichever.)

Discordian

Unlike other religions that that use the apparent order in the world as proof of deities we embrace the apparent disorder in the world both of which are divisions of pure chaos. Although not technically monotheistic we’ve picked Eris, the godess of discord and confusion as mentioned by the greeks as our main and favourite godess largely on account of the fact that life makes a lot more sense if you consider that a crazy woman might well be at the helm. Every man woman and child on this planet is a discordian pope and the number 5 is very important. The main holy text is the principia discordia, it can be found on the internet and has lots of fun pictures to keep the reader interested/distracted.

Chaos worship? interesting

I am a Christian and I might not attend church every Sunday, but I do believe their is a God and he did in fact create Earth, but I am skeptical on the whole eternal living in Heaven and life after death, but then again I am young.
I am a very strong believer in the phrase “Everything happens for a reason” and I about read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 everyday.. This verse has saved me from myself and suicide more than once…

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 :
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
