for all you 'believers' out there, which most of us are. in 5 sentences or so. Tell me what do you believe in?

do you believe in faith, in a personal realtionship with god?

do you prefer the rigorous peer scrutiny that the scientific method provides for?

are you mostly just trying to be a good human being or citizen? do organized religions or religious authorities 'do it' for you?

if it ever came down to it, do you feel strongly enough about your 'beliefs' that you could give your life for your belief?

if you couldn't, would you stand by while others were asked to, and remain silent. would you feel compelled to speak out, one way or the other?

so five sentences is pretty rediculous, right?

    I am a Pagan, and I have a personal relationships with God/dess.

    I enjoy science, and I love learning; my beliefs are based on personal experiences and logic!

    I strive to be altruistic because I feel that selfishness causes a lot of evil in the world; I hope to leave the world a better place because of my existence.

    I do not see how anyone would benefit for me dying for my beliefs, but as I am not a Christian I fear that I have a better chance of that happening since I am not in the majority.

    If an injustice is occurring, I would speak out against it on the behalf of others.

    I believe in God and have a personal relationship with him.He is my savior. I do feel strongly enough to give my life for him and I think I would have to speak out.I ask for his guidance and direction everyday. I have total faith in him,even when bad things happen.I believe that they all happen for a reason. I have had alot of awful things happen in my life but never once did I question him for it nor did I stop loving him. I think this was a really good question.

    5 sentences or less,I cant do it.

    The argument against homosexuality that asserts "homosexuality is misguided as a results of fact the union can't consequence in infants" is easily unsuitable. If somebody makes use of this argument as a foundation for why gay marriage would desire to be unlawful, I continuously say, "So does that mean it relatively is going to likely be unlawful for elderly human beings to marry? Or for persons who're infertile? as a results of fact those unions can't consequence in organic infants, the two." in the event that they'll define marriage as a union that would produce organic infants with the aid of sexual reproduction, then they might desire to limit all and sundry who can't reproduce clearly jointly from marrying one yet another. that's precisely why that argument is idiotic. the only reason this argument ever comes into play is as a results of Bible, that's yet one extra reason it relatively is an invalid argument.

    Around 15 billion years ago, our universe began to exist as we know it in a specific dimension with a specific set of physical laws by which all things and process must abide. Our three dimensional minds are not wired to be able to fathom what existed before that or where this universe came from.

    A soul in a body is active and accountable to the future it creates for itself. God, if you want to call it that, comes from within, and lives and breathes through our souls, judging our deeds through ourselves and others. How long a soul lives beyond the life of the body is determined by how long that soul is remembered by those whose lives it has impacted.

    I believe in the beginning was God the Word and the Holy Ghost.

    God sent His only begotten son who was without sin to die and pay the price for every sin we commit if we ask in His name for forgiveness.

    I believe that Jesus rose & overcame death and is now at the right hand of God and is our Friend-an intercessor for us to God.

    I believe that satan is about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour(kill spiritually) as he knows his time is short.

    I believe that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, or can we imagine the good things God has prepared for us in heaven.

    'The joy of the Lord is my strength' and 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord'.

    (I confess I went over 5)

    The God can only be found by searching within yourself. The only religions that may bring you close to The God are those that advocate meditation and or intense prayer.
