Poll: who do you worship?

I don't believe in god but my GF is catholic.
We can't discuss religion in our house because she gets wound up if anyone says anything other than what she believes.

Since I'm young, I'm gonna go with what I've been taught.
Christian. Catholic.

King CookieJust a clarification, I'm pretty sure a Catholic is also a Christian. A Christian is anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as the son of God.

No they're not the same religion :)Roman Catholics were "the original" Christians, however when the Protestant sects separated themselves from the Roman Catholics they took with them the name "Christians". Nowadays the name Christians often is associated with the "born Again" sect, with Protestants defining themselves as such. There are also methodists & Orthodox churches too.

Roman Catholics weren't "the original" Christians at all. Hell, at the start, the Romans ruthlessly persecuted Christians as cultists. I believe it wasn't until Emperor Constantine that Christianity was accepted as the state religion of Rome.Catholicism, Anglicanism and all that are called denominations of Christianity. Different flavours of ice cream, but still ice cream in the end.

thanks for clarifying our conversation. ::)

thatonemexicanguyWell in the Chatolic religon (Mexican) they usually worship more the virgin mary rather than jesus or god.
Also Saints (lots of them, and in some cases other virgin Mary's)
*looks at book he wrote, and is surprised
Well this is another thing my friend and me argue about:
[I will only state what I said as It will be to long]
Why worship the virgin Mary...she was only chosen, that didn't mean she did not have children afterwards.
The Catholic religion also repeats verses such as the one that asks the virgin Mary to take care of them during the night and keep evil out (there are plenty others).
Also the persignar (to gyrate your hand across your body.)
I think if you believe in someone greater (creator) you should consult him (spiritually) with whatever you are feeling at the time, rather than spit out mindless gibberish, which you had to memorize.
and please read the book I wrote before judging me. :D

The freaky thing about that is there is a cult in japan that resulted from that show, although instead they chose a gravure model.

She also forgot JEDI.Damn it.
The force is SO not with you.

:D
Jedi's, why didn't I think of that... :P

I was raised christian, and I choose to stay that way

I worship Cthulhu, or rather the Moe version.

Im Christian but i dont believe it all. God never helped us, we made our own lives without him. They say its the biggest sin not to believe in the devil, which is a lie. All i want in life is to be a doctor, i aint gonna pray to no god for that.

?Honestly, the Bible never really clarifies what the biggest sin is. In fact, yours is indirectly referencing one of the commandments that you cannot believe in another God.Doing a quick Google search on the Greatest Sin, yields all different answers, personally, the best one I found is rejecting love. Be it generally or just rejecting the love of God. This one personally speaks to me as it's more than just a biblical reference (which hey, is better than taking everything from there literally).

buchichumy hope is always that people leave their feelings offline since it's far too easy in the anonymous blackness that is the internet for people to get...nasty. in the meantime, I expect people to take responsibility for their own posts and hope the mods can see past a little bickering which can easily be interchanged with "debating."because man, I was SO ticked off when my circumcision thread got locked. >:C

This almost made me forget one of your posts that pissed me off (although I totally forgot which one so it's totally irrelevant). But a majority of the members here don't know the difference between an exchange and flaming, flaming is directly insulting someone for any reason (which honestly I do a lot and I don't really care), and debating is exchanging points. There's been too many times where people have misinterpreted my posts too, as if all my posts are either sarcastic, flaming, or a troll attempt.Any religious fanatic, should watch Religulous and/or Dogma. These are my favorite type of religious movies and they're almost on opposite sides of the spectrum.Dogma's overarching message throughout the film is primarily Christian related, which excludes a portion of the people. But it's message is primarily that the Christian religion should not be built on a belief structure, but it's more similar to an idea. That way it's not structured and thought out to be fact. Another message is that the religion should not be mourned or you have to suffer through it etc etc.Religulous on the other hand goes from, questioning your religion is good, to, religion is the end of the world. Which is weird as the film doesn't really convey the same message, it's kinda all over the place.

dedboy · #33She also forgot JEDI.

Ah yes the force.... sadly I'm not into the goody two shoe ways of the Jedi.... The Sith however pwn all!

I barely noticed that Seph is an option.
Hes cool I guess, but I wouldn't worship him.
