Thread: What do you believe in?

Ok, let me start by saying that this thread has a high potential of becoming nasty. This is not my intent, so please keep the knives sheathed for this one!
A member here admitted openly that he was a Satanist which got me curious as to what the cross section of beliefs were here on this sight!
I have started a poll so please vote, but it isn't necessary to post unless you really want to!

So what do you believe in

I'm happily Agnostic. (Don't confuse that blissful ignorance, please.) I briefly studied religions in a few classes and I understand it's hard to get the whole scope of things and in-depth meanings from just looking at religions for a few months. I can, however, understand where every religion comes from and why it does or doesn't work for people. I'm just happy to believe that I can't know whether or not God (or a god) exists.

Damn... I forgot Judaism and don't know how to edit my poll!

Pretty much the same situation here, though I've combined a few other religions into a philosophy that works for me so I identified as "Other."

I feel your pain, Mark. I can just see you cringeing from over here.

I better not let Katie, my Jewish wife, see this.

P.S. From a 100% certain, dyed-in-the-wool, totally-knows-his-own-mind agnostic.

Catholic here. This could get ugly.
Hopefully it won't as we should all
let others believe in what they believe
in, even though my religion is the
only right one .
Just kidding of course.

Fixed it for you

Convert to Laveyan Satanism from charismatic, evangelical Methodism.


So I've seen both ends of the spectrum

Born and raised Christian.

I would like to point out a bit of lacking in your poll, however it is understandable. I would differentiate Catholicism and from other denominations of Christianity. For those raised non-Catholic Christians who've been to Catholic sermons/ceremonies, it's almost like a completely different religion.

Just an observation from a layman.
