1. I believe and yet and that same time don't. I'm a Caitholic-Christian, and I'm proud of it. Well, proud isn't really the right word. More like honored to be one. I believe in Jesus, and that He will save me from my sins. But yet I can't. That there's one person who created us all? It seems so impossible, and yet, isn't this entire Earth impossible? How it was made in a universe made from nothing?
I tell myself this when I say I don't believe in God, but I don't want to have facts. I want to believe.
Faith is taking the first step, even when you can't see the whole stair-case...Or something like that....
2. I never knew there were so many different religions until I came to GTQ. I didn't even know that you could choose not to believe in God. But now that I do, I believe in him all the more.
3. I don't really get half the conversations in theis forum xD. A lot of you talk with big words about controversial topics, and I tend to avoid it.
So yep, those are my views on this forum, and on my religion. Just though I'd put that out there xD -
I so agree with number three xDDD

1. "faith is taking the first step even if you cant see the whole staircase." Sounds like a really big let down when you realize you're not actually walking upward...
2. Yes, there are alot of other religions. And instead of taking comfort in your ignorance you should be proving yourself right. Dont just accept you are taking the right path. Other people chose theirs through a concious effort, not just because they didnt know there were other options.
3. Maybe the reason we use big words is because we know what we're talking about? And oh yeah, avoiding it is really such a wonderful solution. I bet you make your god proud.
4?. Thank you for your wonderful views. But this forum is for debate, so if you're going to just avoid it, continue avoiding it. Take comfort in your self inflicted ignorance or take the chance of getting hurt and actually learn about what you're hiding behind.
And lil, since I know you're going to read this, dont respond. We've already been down that road and it usually ends with you taking some broad generalization and deciding that you dont want to argue and that I'm the jackass for trying to bring humanity out of the bronze age. Unless you are actually willing to look at things from another perspective, dont spew your views. I have studied every religion I have preached about. And honestly, comments like this make me pity the people that made them. -
1. And what if I'm not? What if by just believing, I'm taking a step? That's the whole point of faith.
2. I'm a person of little faith, and a growing belief, but at the same time I know I'm right. I've said this before, but i'll say it again. Faith is believing, even when I can't see whats there. I know of my options now, but I choose to stay, because I believe in God, and I believe in Jesus saving us.
3. I advoid because I'm not going put my ass where it doesn't belong. I don't want to talk about something I know absolutely nothing about! And I'm pretty sure God wouldn't want me talking in his name when I have no idea what it is I'm talking about. He not asking me to spread the word yet. I'm just a kid who's still growing in her faith.
4!. I'm not taking comfort in anything. You think I'm ignorant of my own religion? I have faith in it because I believe it, and sometimes that's all God asks us to do. I'm not hiding. I just came here and posted this and you think I'm hiding? I won't hide behind my religion when I'm proud of it, I'm won't hide behide my choice when I'm aware of it.
Debate enough for you?
Just because you don't believe, doesn't mean you have to shoot down every single belief of others. Is that what non-believing is, trying to get others not to too? Don't think that people are always stupid fools blind in their religion. We are blind taking those steps up that stair-case. Taking steps we can't see. Just doing that alone shows that we have faith enough to keep moving forward and at leadt "debate" with people like you. -
It would have been a debate except for the extreme circular thinking. Even in #3 you admitted that you had no idea what you were talking about and everywhere else you were admitting that you would follow blindly.
And on your last part you say that your faith lets you debate with people like me. Then how do you explain me? My debate is supported by actual facts and verifiable evidence and yet I have no faith to speak of. Not only does deshackling myself of religion give my arguement more credibility, but it also means I can take credit for my own strength instead of thanking a man in the sky for everything that I myself accomplish.
