I have my own beliefs that I want to spread. Here they are.

1. God is like the element nitrogen; all organisms need it, but they can't get it on their own. They have to depend on eachother and the ecosystem to get it.

2. When people pray, they are trying to reach the godliness inside of them. It helps them calm down enough to think of a solution.

3. All religions are correct. These are just different ways people see and interpret God.

4. NEVER HURT ANYONE PHISICALLY OR MENTALLY!!!
This means that there is no war, except in extreme cases. There also is no stealing, cheating, or making people feel bad.

5. It is okay to get angry or dislike people, but you should respect every one.

6. NO ONE IS PERFECT! If you don't comepletely follow the rules, it's okay.

How can all religions be correct if some of them worship more than one god and contradict others?


Everyone sees Godliness differently. The only religios beliefs that are wrong in my religion are ones that cause harm to anyone.
quote:
1. God does not exist. Therefore, God cannot be like something that does exist.

How do you know?
quote:
2. When people pray, they forsake their own power and become lazy. All they are doing is asking someone else to do their work for them.


No, they are trying to calm down or find answers. When people meditate, talk to a counseler, do yoga, count down from 10, or whatever they do to calm down, that is how they pray.
quote:
3. All religions, in the traditional sense, are in fact wrong.


see my first two notes.
quote:
4. Some people deserve to be hurt physically and/or mentally. Why? If someone does harm to you, do harm to them. That is the essense Lex Talionis, the Law of the Talon (also referred to the Law of Retaliation or the Law of the Jungle). However, do harm to them and only them. There is no need to hurt innocent people in the process.

Note the "only in extreme cases."
quote:
5. Some people do not deserve respect. Some people are *******s and/or morons. It is okay to hate these people. They deserve to be hated, for they have caused much undue destruction and suffering in this world.

You must be thinking George W Bush. However, as many terrible things as he has done, he deserves some respect. Put yourself in his shoes. He is probably having trouble. He was put in a tricky situation. [/QUOTE]
quote:
6. It is never okay to make a mistake. If it were okay, it wouldn't be a mistake. Only when you fix said mistake does it make it "okay". Mistakes are bound to happen, but that does not make them okay.

What I mean is you should learn from your mistakes, and not be punished for them unless they are drastic. You should definetly try to fix them, but as long as you learn from them, they are ok.

You should consider reading... well, first try getting some common sense.

I probably read more than you. I also seem to have more common sense then you. Atleast I am not afraid to make mistakes.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, Lady. Just because they feel differently from you does not, by any means whatsoever, mean they lack common sense.

As an Atheist, I think your ideas are well thought-out, shmeow; they're undeniably more feasible then the pseudo-fundamentalist BS that many religious followers disgorge in a dire attempt to alter everyone else’s views, heh.

I suppose you're right, not everyone is correct. But we can't prove anything. So I suppose there is no right answer.

I like your beliefs. I especially like #6. I'm all for a religion whose God won't smite me if I don't always follow the rules.

Krazypunkrz, If Jesus is so important to you, the least you could do was capitalize his name. Also, am I a sin? You said "He died for you sins." Also, Jesus was a Jew himself. Are you saying he is bad since he was Jewish. Also, why would Jesus care what I belive? There were several "saviors" like Jesus who said they were the messiah. Jesus was just in the right place at the right time. I agree with your oppinion, Geminai, people can believe whatever they want to.

No one needs your preaching.

The Christians are happy being Christians; the Jews are happy being Jewish; and everyone else is happy with what they believe or don't believe, or they'd convert.

I know about Unitarian Universalism. My best friend is one. Even though it is a cool religion, I'm happy being a Reconstruction Jew. It is sort of like Unitarian Universalism except it is a Jewish movement. I will stick with that until "Shmeowism" is made a religionWink Smile Razz
