[derrek]

1. Taoist

2. In the appearance of a human form? No. In a life force way? Perhaps so!

3. Many different ideas by many different people, agree with them all? Absolutely not. To list the differences would be too tedious a task! The fundamentals and most of the ideas aid me all the time!

Very important in my life. Daily routine!

1. are you monotheist, atheist, polytheist or just spiritual?

polytheist, mostly classified as Buddhist but I honestly think it might be a combo Buddhist, Diest, and Confusion

2. if you are religious, believe in god, why and how did your beliefs come to form?

Family, life - just grew up to believe in it.

3. do you believe most of your religion's views? every word? if not which part are you against

Easy religion, be good, be kind, and you're golden. the reincarnation and karma thing does seem to happen so I think it's all good.

atheist. actually im not really atheist, if being an atheist means that i don't believe in god. i just havent figured out which religion i should go with because i grew up at the crossroads of a few religions. does that make me polytheist??

2. if you are religious, believe in god, why and how did your beliefs come to form?
my dad was buddhist/taoist and my mom is a buddhist turned christian. my parents basically left my bro and i to our own devices; they feel that we should be allowed to choose the religion we believe in when we come of age. 6 years of my education was in a catholic school but i still believe in buddhism/taoism because i used to go to temples with my dad when i was a little kid. so. i still haven't made a choice.
that was how. as for why... i think when you grow up thinking something is true, it's very hard to eradicate the belief. that's my case, anwyay.

3. do you believe most of your religion's views? every word? if not which part are you against
i don't really know WHAT to believe so... i can't really answer this question.

1. are you monotheist, atheist, polytheist or just spiritual? specify your religion if you are devoted to one
I'm a duotheist.

2. if you are religious, believe in god, why and how did your beliefs come to form?
My beliefs stem from my obsession of perfection and my strong love for the aesthetics.

3. do you believe most of your religion's views? every word? if not which part are you against
Yes, just because I created the religion as well as the views myself.

Bapitised as a Catholic.

2. if you are religious, believe in god, why and how did your beliefs come to form?
I'm no longer religious, but beliefs come from science.

3. do you believe most of your religion's views? every word? if not which part are you against
No. I am against how we are guided to live and how the all things were created.

1. Are you monotheist, atheist, polytheist or just spiritual? Specify your religion if you are devoted to one
I believe in money.. that's all. Was raised as a protestant when I was a kid, but don't follow it anymore.

2. If you are religious, believe in god, why and how did your beliefs come to form?
Belief comes from people's fear of the unknown.

3. Do you believe most of your religion's views? every word? if not which part are you against
N/A

[hippiehop]

1. I guess I'd be considered "Atheist" but that's the belief that there is no God. I don't believe that there isn't a God... I just don't believe in anything like that.

2. I was raised Buddhist... also, I think a lot of Buddhist ideas are included in Chinese culture. But I agree with Temoin la Nuit , for most people... belief stems from fear.

3. N/A

[emma007]

1. I am a Christian

2. I was raised in a Christian home, so that is where it all started.

3. I am a bible believing Christian.

1. are you monotheist, atheist, polytheist or just spiritual? specify your religion if you are devoted to one

I am just me. Not really an atheist or a Christian or Buddhist or whatever. Its kinda hard to explain.

2. if you are religious, believe in god, why and how did your beliefs come to form?

I have values and morals. I believe that killing a person is wrong and I believe that stealing is wrong.

3. do you believe most of your religion's views? every word? if not which part are you against

Religion is interesting. I think many of society's morals and values were inspired from religion.

Mostly athiest. somewhat buddhist (on a philosophical point), and slightly dao/taoist.

1. are you monotheist, atheist, polytheist or just spiritual? specify your religion if you are devoted to one

I'm an atheist with some Buddhist beliefs.

2. if you are religious, believe in god, why and how did your beliefs come to form?

Well, I was raised as a Buddhist (Theravada). My mom didn't pressure religion on me and pretty much left me to my own devices. As I grow older, I'm not really questioning the existence of God (anymore), but the the existence of religion. I see a lot of things wrong with religion.

3. do you believe most of your religion's views? every word? if not which part are you against

I try and live life as a good person as well as help others who are in need. I don't see this as a religion.

[blue_shoe]

My view is that it's about time religion die along just like the medicine man.

[CharlotteDarcy]

1. <------Look under my avatar.

2. I'm an atheist bc I have examined every aspect of religion and none of them are logical or sound to me.

3. I have a lot of confidence in most of my beliefs but there's always room for doubt.
