what is your religious affiliation?

[EJFan]

*giggles* Words like "boner" still make me laugh...
Hell, even words like "penis" still make me giggle from time to time.

if the WORD has that kind of impact, you'd break out into a complete guffaw if you SAW mine.

My boyfriend gets annoyed when I laugh. But, they are just /so/ funny sometimes, especially when they move all on their own, hehehe.

I chose "I don't know" because I'm reluctant to categorize/label myself.

This is something I've struggled with for quite some time, and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I live on the fringes of the Bible Belt, where just about everybody is part of some denomination of Christianity. I'm inclined to believe in a god/creator, but I don't believe in organized religion. I don't like the herd mentality and weak-mindedness that often, though not always, accompanies it. I prefer to seek wisdom/enlightenment within myself and not rely upon other people for it.

I attended a Baptist church with my grandma until I was about 9, and was married to my ex in a Catholic ceremony (sans Mass) when I was 20, but at the moment I have no religious affiliation, and I'm at peace with that.

I prefer to do good deeds because it's right to do so, not because I'm looking to be rewarded in the afterlife.

there sure is a lot of tuna fish around here

I think that pie that silver slung at me had fish in it as well...

I was rasied Catholic but rejected that about 5 years ago. I still have a strong belief in church, I just don't believe in organised religion. Like I don't see why I have to go to a specific place at a certain time each week to pray, just cause someone says so. I pray when I want, where I want. I could ramble about religion for ages but I won't....

that bastard!

...just cause someone says so...

That's the foundation of pretty much every organized religion tight there.

i totally feel you on so many points you made. it seems like "organized religion" does more harm than good. i think there's something to be said for religious people who don't affiliate with a church.

i'm vaguely familliar with the area you're in and it's a lot like here... if you're not christian, heterosexual and white, you're fighting an uphill battle on one level or another.

You're a great person for being so concerned about the endangered species like that. What's a good side dish for Mahi Mahi?

On a more serious note, I was baptized Catholic, but raised being allowed to make my own choices about my beliefs. Today, any theological debate I get into typically ends with a Christian or Catholic or Mormon or what have you, telling me that I'm going to go to hell.

Rice, veggies, pan fried potatoes, coleslaw, fruit, a green salad.. it all depends on your taste. The other night I did baked Salmon, with boiled potatoes, sautéed spinach and corn on the cob. It turned out to be a great dinner, and not a scrap was left.

 

[Halo_n_horns]

...and corn on the cop. It turned out to be a great dinner, and not a scrap was left.

Thanks for the advice, but how long was the cop cooked for before serving?

lol... oops.. ..... fixed

It was good the way it was.

lol well it is true that cops are there to serve..........

I guess all things considered, cook until hot and get ready to be served some warm cream..... lol

 

[Ricwilly]

I'm a heathen.

 

[Ibsen]

I´m a regular lutheran protestantic christian.

 

[DarkMuse]

I'm a witch. Wiccan specifically, but mainly a witch. I'm training in an Algard coven, but am a little disillusioned at the dogma and politics.

 

[Seduce]

Atheist........ about 80%

 

[Nightbird]

Eclectic Pagan here... And holy cow talk about Thread Hijacks...

 

[Undomiel]

Hmmmm, my disrepect for the Catholic church was just reinforced after watching the Magdalane Sisters. Thats just so so wrong.

 

[Quoll]

I think I must be a member of the church of Humourology, I haven`t laughed so much at a religious discussion since.........well hell....never.
