What's your religion?
 
I know I'm verging on flame-war territory here, so be nice. I'm just curious about the demographic makeup.

Moosferatu 09-11-2003 06:56 AM

I believe the word you were looking for was "protestant".

twifkak 09-11-2003 07:16 AM

Strange, I don't remember having lost a word, let alone looking for it...

I think he means "Protestant" would have been better than "Christian (non-Catholic)"

Tamara 09-11-2003 07:26 AM

well, I'm atheist/agnostic. But more of an atheist, really, so that's what I voted.

OK.. I don't know enough about the denominations and all, so I didn't realize that Episcopalian and Baptist and all fell under Protestant. My bad. Oh, and I forgot to include Seven Day Adventist (Mormon).

And Jews for Jesus.

And *gasp* Timthology. Wait, does it have a name?

twifkak 09-11-2003 07:34 AM

And FWIW, my definition of "agnostic" is believing that it is impossible to prove or disprove God/a god's existance. In case you were deciding between ag and undecided.

Protestants, however, are a much larger group than many of the other religions you included, which is the only reason I brought it up.

I expect Church of Tim should suffice.

Garyos 09-11-2003 07:38 AM

Agnostic. I don't pretend that I know anything about why the universe is like it is.

Tyler Durden 09-11-2003 07:52 AM

I guess that this quote will make you understand my beliefs about God. However, if you are interested, my ID writes "christian orthodox"

Get the quote:

Tyler Durden: Shut up! Our fathers were our models for God. If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?
Narrator: No, no, I... don't...
Tyler Durden: Listen to me! You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen.

pleto4_ryan 09-11-2003 08:12 AM

I am like Tyler Durden (gabriel)[in ID] but i don't believe in the church of people...In the last 2000 years they totally ruined the religion. I believe in the church of god...(how vacant that can be seen e? ;) )

But it isn't. There are calvinists, protestants, reformed and lot of other things.

Zygomaticus 09-11-2003 09:01 AM

I was born into a Hindu family, so I am a Hindu. I can't say I humbly believe in every single thing I am told about the religion (afterall, everything I am told is still an interpretation of the ancient 'texts') but I do strive to be as good a Hindu as I can be. Afterall, He has helped me so much, He has helped me to give myself whatever it is I am now capable of, and He has done so much for me. And so I pay Him due respect.

btw, it is of my humble (and near pointless) opinion that it was not correct to make this question a poll. The reason being the last couple of posts, before mine, which are an example of the tension caused by the inability to include every single religion/belief in such a poll. Given that the internet is the most diverse place that 'exists' in the world, room should be allowed for every possibility. An open topic where each person just said what he is may have been more appropriate. But 'tis all good :7

SamandMax 09-11-2003 09:03 AM

I should join Scientology.

I always wanted to be in a bizarre cult with Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

ragnar 09-11-2003 09:12 AM

If I wanted to join a bizarre cult I think I would join the Freemasons. They seem so mysteriously interesting. :shifty:

Garyos 09-11-2003 09:18 AM

Rags, the Illuminati is the way to go. Trust me on this.


Fnord.

ragnar 09-11-2003 09:23 AM

Well, everyone seems to be joining them these days, so maybe it is time to form something even more secret and powerful. :shifty:

James 09-11-2003 09:23 AM

Roman Catholic.
