Poll What Are Your Beliefs About God / Higher Power?

[Marie E.]

I am Odinist and it has protected my life as I escaped my abuser. It is either die a coward or in honor. And I did it mostly for my two lovely children. (Risk Based)

I believe in a higher power but I am not quite sure how to explain my beliefs. Not traditional.

 

[freakofnurture]

Atheist. I've always been the no-bullshit kind of person. Drove my religious extended family nuts.

I believe in a personal relationship with Yeshua.

I'm not into religions. I don't attend church and probably never will again. That's still up in the air. hehehe If I could find a church which encourages and emphasizes a relationship and talking to Yeshua over going to the pastor and other people for their answers, I might join that church. I met only two pastors since 1991 who have encouraged and emphasized the importance of a personal relationship with Yeshua. The first pastor changed my whole perspective on what it means to be a Christian. Thankfully I met him only six months after accepting Yeshua as my savior.

I talk to Yeshua almost daily and tell Him everything. I listen to Him tell me what I need to do and how to live my life. If I didn't have Him in my life I wouldn't have started writing my novels and would have been stuck suffering from DID and PTSD. Now I only have the PTSD so things are progressing for the good.

I'm a little different than most people in my beliefs. I walk the medicine path. Basically it's native american spiritualism at it's core. I believe there is one being that created everything and all the people of the world. Yes I do believe that one person died for all of us. No I don't use the same names as many people. I see no major difference in most religions other than names. It is very saddening to me to see the number of people who fight over religion and kill in the name of a god.

He or she "depending on your belief" has more power then you will ever conceive. If "It" wanted to kill some one they would not need our help.

Instead most all religions preach love, peace, and understanding. Maybe these are the things that we should concentrate on.

I believe in a higher power. I'm not religous, yet I do believe in the universal truth that is found in most religions. For me, that's "do good and live your life the best you can". I tend to lean towards "spiritual" beliefs, but I take what I want and leave the rest.

I respect people who are atheists but I don't like when they insult or condescend. Not all and I guess the reverse can apply. Also, the thing that really aggravates me is when they tell me about believing in science as if I don't because I really like science lol

No god helped me when I was at my worst.. No god helped me ever..

Why should I believe in any god, other for the possible chance it is Sithrak (The God that Hates All Equally)? It did nothing for me

 

[snarfus]

I am agnostic. I don’t know if there is a God or Gods, and have no way to prove it one way or the other.

So I am not a person of faith. I am a person of reason.

 

[Mafia_Science]

I'm an agnostic/atheist, but by no means do I disrespect or look down upon religious people whatsoever. I was raised Catholic, but found the belief unrealistic and cruel in certain aspects.

How could a God have the power to prevent great suffering and famine and disaster, but not do a thing to stop it? After reading the Bible front to back, the god depicted in the Bible sounds like no God to me.

Once again, I absolutely do not look down upon/disrespect/etc. to religious people. I'm very open minded

 

[Kailani]

I believe in God, Jesus, The Great and Holy Spirit. I believe The Bible. I believe that PTSD also spiritually hurts people and may rock any belief people have.

 

[Miss_Elri]

I have been raised with God, but after my parents divorce, I stopped believing.
And after multiple things that have happend, If there really was a God,
it knew I couldn't handle it.
So that's why I do not believe anymore, and never will again.
