Well I took a "comparative Religions" course in university, and that fermly led me to the belief that all the religions are stupid
(not to offend anyone)

No, actually It was the first thing I noticed when the page loaded I think I'm a bit pedantic...

[Mistral]

Ah, come on, Christianism is truly the one true faith. Now, Christianity on the other hand...

Seriously, I would say I'm agnostic as well. For atheists to claim that no god exists without any proof merely is an example of them falling victim to the same fallacy that they condemn religious people for. I am willing to accept that people need faith in something, at least, whether it is that there is some divine power or not, or something else entirely. I just don't believe that, whether a god (Or, for that matter, many gods) exists or not, it should be stated as fact one way or the other, and therefore I do not.

Got to agree with you, Zephyr... I don't believe in any religion, but at the same time I can't quite disbelieve them... My mentality tends to be 'Show me proof and I'll believe it, don't show me none and I won't disbelieve it...'. Truth is, while I don't see there as being much proof that a God exists, I can't see much proof that one doesn't either, so it's all about faith... I choose not to put my faith in God, but I put my faith in other things... Everyone needs something to believe in, like you say, so I'm not going to verbally damn anyone else's religion unless I can prove their beliefs are actually false... And right now I can't

You know you gotta keep the faith...

Religion to me means Death. Or the whole concept in my mind is also what's after. Or Afterlife if you prefer. I have my own unique idea of what happens and am forced to pick the option that doesn't exist and say none.

I believe in being a good person and thats all you can really do and religion is an institution, think about that for a second, it's an institution and always has been. Which means it's not in nature. If I want to find existentialism I'll sit under a tree and watch the animals and birds frolic in a forest or field.

Religions have actually proven scientist wrong on quite a few occasions...the age of the earth was once determined the amount of coal deposits that could be found in areas, but recently coal has been proven to be able to form at various temperatures at various speeds which could reduce the accuracy of this by 100,000 years or more Then the time since the split of Pangaea, from the hit of the meteorite that supposedly wiped out the dinosaurs is determined by how fast the continents are moving away from each other...scientist however stupidly assumed that the continents infact moved at a constant rate, later when the speed was remeasured it had reduce and they calculated the decceleration speed. They then used the decceleration speed to determine how long it has actually been since the hit...guess what? it's the same time period as the story of Noah's Ark!! Then of course there is consideration of the rate of increase in human reproduction...if humans have been around for millions of years there would be so many of us that, if packed in a giant ball we would be almost the size of the entire galaxy, take plagues natural disasters and other various things into consideration and it still wouldn't have a large enough effect for use to fit in the solar system...the time determined to reach 6 billion people is, yes, the same general time it's been since the Noah's Ark story!! So I would say something REALLY big happened at that time, it's quite possible it was a big flood being as, by the corrosion of mountain-tops the entire earth at some point has been submerged. So, now with all that religious evidence I will say, I believe I don't care if there is a god

Well, you can't really prove that a supreme being exists, but on the other hand you can't prove he doesn't. A so-called "miracle" is just pure coincidence or misunderstanding. No, nuns/moks don't defy gravity. I've heard of a pope's corpse that has lasted for quite a while without decomposing, but hey thats possible if you use some kind of embalm. Then again, you can't prove God doesn't exists since he's something you can't see or feel. Who knows, maybe this God is the mystery to all the anti-matter in space. The only thing I trust is science, since it's something you can find out for yourself. If I ever find he does exists(unlikely), God may as well have slapped me down to hell by then. Knowing more about the truth can't hurt humanity(unless you use science for other causes).

I don't really want to vote because I'm not a monotheist .

I like some of the ideas in all religions, kinda.

I think it is everyone's own thing of what to belive in. So I have my own beliefs and things, I am officialy a Christian, but why are people classified by what they believe in? I don't care if I am a Christian in the statistics. I pretend to be that, but I still have my own opinion on gods and other such things.
