Unfortunately, I do not. I'm a Buddist and were not aloud to celebrate anything having to do with the guy upstairs.

i beleive in everything
there is one, and there are none
there are many, but there is one
the life after life
life into nothing
death is only what you beleive it will be
Rebirth, heaven or hell, nothingness, becoming one with the earth
life is what you make of it
death is how you beleive it is
everything is one thing
that way no one's wrong
no one's right
every religion holds some of the truth
and every religion holds a load of crap around that truth
but some where deep within them all
the truth is hiding
my beleifs =D

My dear....Thats was very morbid.
Yea i believe in God. Saved me from a lot of jams i tell ya!
Seriously though, I believe in that God isn't far from anyone who wants to get to know him. I believe that people who don't believe in God will have a rude awakening one day. But hey that is me.

what's so morbid about it? it seemed pretty normal to me... just different from what i see in most people..
i have my beleifs set
i think what u beleive is what u find in the end
but my beleifs are in christianity... but like i beleive in reincarnation, i don't like the idea of just going to heaven and staying there
but u aren't just reincarnted u have a choice
great i went off on another rant... -.-
point: yes i beleive in god but am within my own religion
point 2: actualy it's a question "what was so morbid?"

I do believe in God and I believe He is always there protecting me and guiding me to the right path and I'm thankful for that.
All I know is something unexplainable is out there... not sure if it's a god.. but something... and if there isn't.. well then.. it would be such a pity... could you imagine all those sunday church days gone wasted?
well i believe in god, devil and angels.. i am not religious at all, i will not pick a religion/beliefe system but i believe in there is something or some one greater and has help.. this i have come to believe due to events i have been apart fo in my life so far.
a big reason is when i was 17 i was hit by a car doing 30 mph.. hit me as i was crosssing the street on my bike. yet i escpaed unharmed. bike was even fine. something saved me from being killed as the car hit me from the side.yeah that shoudl have atleast broke something.. but how did i survive it with nothing. and there were witnesses to this as well. so it wasn't in an isolated area..
more so, when my grandmother died in 2000. me and my ex were at her house with my unlce and aunt a few hours after she died in the hospital and we mentioned her name and a grandfather clock that ahd not worked since i was 5 started chiming again..
ghost exist.. and if ghosts exist, then there has to be a place for them to go.. and if there is aplace for souls to go, then something had to have created it. material world can be proved by science.. but some things science cannot prove.

well someday I think science will prove it... some day.... but I doubt will be alive to see that day... we'll go where ever soul go after death.
Ready for a ridiculously lengthy post? I know I am, because this thread is bland and I'm sick in bed with little else to soak on.
A semantics question. Widely interpretable and variously intended. A more suitable wording for its usual intent would be, "Are you theistic?" so I'll answer that.
I embrace uncertainty in every aspect of my awareness. A Christian-like response system was interwoven into me to bear on every question of consequence in my life at a very young age, but I eventually separated from those ideals at 14 or so, knowing that there was no rationale behind holding another esoteric entity responsible for my course of action, or future (especially after grasping few of the various ways in which people assume indirect empowerment, when such inspiration is clearly of their own mustard).
Proponents of major theistic beliefs receive initiative from what they cannot explain, and that is a very dangerous risk to me. I'm in inclined to think this my only life, lavishly regarding it an incredible opportunity, rather than the starting piece of a continuum. Aside from that, the more confidence that exists in the truth of something, the less reason the mind has to examine it. In other words, assuming allows the mind to stop evaluating, and assurance is adversely proportional to estimation.
This is a truth that only the majority of atheists and agnostics accept with open arms, but my criticisms for the average atheists are as fierce as those for neighboring Christians, Jews, and practitioners of other popular belief-systems. Most of these theistic systems, by the way, rely heavily on supernatural plotting - thus if not for all of the contradictions - a faithfulness in one should be deemed equitably sound with shouldering all of them.
If you feel wrong, you're not a Buddhist.

I don't feel wrong. I love my religion, I just don't celebrate x-mas or easter. It's a little hard when all the other Army wives are having community get-tog ethers with all the other wives and their families, then they learned why. I'm just glad they still respect me and all.
I mistook you after synonymously saying you regretted not believing in God.
Sadly, many people still feel a familial obligation of religious consideration, where feelings stray otherwise.
I once knew a Buddhist - the brightest damn guitar player I've ever acquainted. Before him, I actually conceived Buddha a man. Much more persuasive than anyone to come to my door.

Yeah, we are pretty humble and tend to stick to getting good karma. But there are different types of Buddhisms too. I'm an NST member, opposed to the SGI way of things.
