Do you believe in a Higher Power?

[James R.]

I'm spiritual, but not necessarily religious because I don't think you should have to define your connection with a higher power with some brand which is all religion is to me. A brand. The major religions all sound alike. They're all based on the same principles. Jews and Christians differ on basically one thing (that being Jesus) otherwise Christianity is based 100% off Judaism. So when I see people arguing over which religion is right ignoring some facts obsessing over others I just choose to remove myself from that brand war. It's like fight about Tommy Hilfiger of Ralph Lauren. It's all shirts and pants, just different designers. That's how I look at religion.

ok I see what you are saying...you say that you are spiritual but not religious so you see religion like that..you see religion as a name witch people use to present same God in their own way..well I can agree with you in part..but for me religion is not just a brand..for me it's the way I connect with God through ceremonys..for me mass is not just a ritual, it the way to connect with God on spiritual level..

Fuck you motherfucker. This is the first time someone's pissing me off in TR. I'm a Muslim. Why can't a Muslim like Eminem? Why?

I'm sorry, but... I dunno, don't Muslims think sex is wrong? and then eminem talks about it in his songs and shows it in his music videos?

I was in a bad mood as I typed taht. Apologies. But don't just assume man. Of course sex before marriage is wrong in my religion but it's just Eminem's music. We don't have to EAT everything he says. Just, don't assume man. I bet you there are muslims in this forum.

You are literally the stupidest mother fucker on the board. That's like saying you didn't know black people could read. Half of the fucking board is muslim you fucking idiot. Wow it amazes me how much of an ignorant bitch you are.

Alrighty. I have the same views, I'm sorry for judging. The media and things taught in school just make things sound different then they actually are a lot. it's probably because of the war.

[Fa-Q]

Shouldnt this be in the serious section...anyway I believe theres GOTTA be i mean outer space is Infinite....meaning no end so god damn theres gotta be something out there

[DrunkenDeath]

Yeah, that Muslim comment was pretty stupid dude. Don't go around saying stupid shit like that, you are putting yourself in danger.

Just stupid, inconsiderate comments like that piss me the fuck off, and makes me glad that I follow and believe in God. Dane Cook sums up the perfect revenge against an Atheist.

Awesome

I'm not sure where you guys live, but I'm in america. when a war goes on, the government makes schools and the media try to make the other country sound as.... well, in a respective manner, as bad/weird as possible without sounding like jerks. it happened with vietnam, germany, japan, etc.

but now I know better...

[DrunkenDeath]

All these rules in religion, it's weird. many groups started since this man named jesus came along. Jewish people were first, and christians second. Since then, other religions started, and many groups. I think Mormons were last, in the 1800s. all these rules, stories etc....

I don't follow everything it says. why would you have to go to church just to get into heaven? Just be a good person, pray a little, apparently admit you're sinner and stuff.

some of the "rules" include don't smoke, masturbating.... actually, someone said the bible says take care of your body, just don't abuse drugs and cigarettes. I dunno. masturbating? premarriagial sex? i don't know anything about that.

some people get so paranoid and whiny about it. like i heard this story about a councilor or something and someone said "I know masturbating is wrong, I try to stop, but I can't!" or something along those lines. masturbating is a natural thing... if god didn't want people to do it, then why does it exist?

[DrunkenDeath]

Having sex before marriage, the only reason I think it's deemed 'bad' is because, sex if like...the greatest physical gift you can give someone. If you go throwing it around like nothing, what's so special about it?

makes sense

Yeah, that Muslim comment was pretty stupid dude. Don't go around saying stupid shit like that, you are putting yourself in danger.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

For the fucking record, most Muslims that listen to Hip Hop, aren't as religious as some thing Muslims are. I know people that pray, drink alcohol, have sex, swear, and a lot of other shit that Muslims aren't meant to be doing. But the thing is, most teenagers don't got the patience for that. I'm using myself as an example, and I don't pray, I just believe in god, and I don't go by any book. If I see a $100 note laying on the ground, Qu'ran says to give it back to whoever it is for. If you don't know who it is for, than leave it or give it to someone who's in charge of that place. But yo if I see that 100 dollar note, I'ma take that shit and not regret a single fucking thing.

Nuff said?

[Xray]

Why the fuck not? and yes really.

[DrunkenDeath]

What are your thoughts on heaven and hell? no one has talked about that yet.

[Xray]

My thoughts is, they better have microphones and pussy in hell.
