Demona_Darchanjel ThisEmptySoul Demona_Darchanjel ... my only request is that although it was a lovely shade, please pick a slightly darker color to make it easier to read next time. emo I'm sorry... sweatdrop I just wear glasses as it is, so light colored fonts are harder to read on a white background. When I have this problem I highlight the text, that way you can see what is written. I hope that helps. biggrin

Eclectic Left Hand Path Pagan Practitioner - think Quantum theory of Observer Created Reality meets traditional witchcraft, with a little fluffy bunny Wicca and some left hand path fangs thrown in for good measure.

I'm christian. I believe that Jesus died for my sins etc. but I do tend to question some things. Like why everyone thinks that God couldn't have used the big bang to create the universe, or why evolution couldnt have occurred. If anyone finds a scripture aout this I'd really love to see it because even though the bible said God made Adam from the ground I dont remember anything saying that he looked like me and you do. And it said that he created the world in seven days but how long exactly were these days? Somewhere in psalms it says that a day to God is like 1000 years but I dont know whether to take that literally or just to take it as "a day to God is a long time." And did God create people after Adam and Eve? He must've cuz otherwise when Cain killed Abel, he wouldnt have asked for God's protection ~ a mark of some kind so he wouldnt get murdered. I'll never know but I'm curious lol. wink

I would have to say that I am more pagan than anything else. I dont follow one religious practice strictly. I just use what feels right at the time.

And the Big Bang theory is really a bad theory to take as true. It's more of a place holder for when the real method of creation is found. I like to think of God more as a flowing energy then a being. It makes time almost irrelevant and makes his existence more scientifically plausible.

Lady_Niqui ...the bible said God made Adam from the ground, I don't remember anything saying that he looked like me and you do.
In Hinduism, we believe God looks like we do... only much, much more beautiful.charamath I like to think of God more as a flowing energy then a being. It makes time almost irrelevant and makes his existence more scientifically plausible.
It is of my belief that God does have form, and the "flowing energy" you speak of is part of that form. He can exist as a being with the appearances of us humans and as energy simultaneously. There are actually references to it in vedic literature.

Even they had to start somewhere though, right?

He interprets "God created man in His image" more as a... uhh... mental image or an image of the essence, similar to Prometheus pouring the fire of Zeus into humankind. He believes in evolution as well.

The idea that God does not have a form {or body rather} seems to be an idea growing in popularity with those that believe in God. My spouse's father, who is also a Christian, also believes that God is formless I think. He also believes in evolution and reincarnation.
Though I don't fully agree with it, I find it interesting that people are gradually letting go of the idea that God is an old man that lives in the sky. blaugh

Well God as defined by christians is three entities in one. Father = old man in the sky image, Son = Jesus image, and Holy Ghost/Spirit = formless.
I think though that God could be whatever He wants to be and generally just IS.

I'm atheist.
I was raised in a Christian family, though. I went to church for years and did a lot with various Christian organizations until I realized that it was not for me.
I like art and science ^_^ heart

I classify myself as Theist or Spiritual. I don't really associate with any organized religion and have my own set of beliefs. A higher power, one afterlife that we all go to, and that's about it. Beyond that, my belief is that it's pretty impossible to know a lot of things.
I was raised in a very relaxed Protestant home.
