What religion are you?

I think the biggest thing about that is learning to draw happiness from within and not needing to draw much of anything from the world outside you. Not that I'm one to talk, I still have a long way to go on that at least on the material end - interpersonally I seem to be doing pretty well though .

I have decided to become a muslim of the fundamentalist wahabe strain and am happy that i have truly found Allah after all my ungodly doubts. Allahu akbar la Allah illa Allah.

BTW this is not an invitation for you racists to tackle my religion or make Islamophobic and racist remarks, im simply stating my beliefs not calling for a debate or an ungodly criticism of my religion.

You might find it a little... erm... let's say restrictive, old chap.

I'm a Catholic.

I consider myself Messianic Jewish, although right now, I attend a Presbyterian church where the pastor is very pro-Israel. I accepted Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha-Mashiach) as my Lord and Savior between my sophomore and junior year in college, and God has been my strength ever since. My personal theology leans towards Calvinism.

I'm not sure what I am. I'm supposed to be Catholic, but I don't really believe in it. I believe that there most likely is a god, and I believe in spirits. I also pray on occasion. I'm uncomfortable with going to church and saying grace before meals though. I prefer to keep my relationship with God, if He/She exists, personal. I am skeptical about Jesus, Moses, and everything else in the Bible. I took a quiz and it said I was 96% agnostic. I suppose I'm agnostic leaning towards there is a God? I am agnostic in the sense that I don't think things can be proven and an somewhat against organized religion, but I have my beliefs in God and spirits as well.

Edited to add: I am somewhat against organized religion for MYSELF. I have nothing against anyone who chooses to be a part of an organized religion. Everyone should believe whatever they choose.

I agree. There should be a separation of religion and state.

Okay, fine...but you better plan on having a few unannounced visitors...like the SAS or maybe a CIA rendition team!;)

Assuming you are serious, why get mixed up with the Wahabbis? They are probably going to die off in the next couple decades anyway. Why not join a group that can just hang out at their mosque, do their 5 daily prayers, go to Mecca, and get along with the people around them? Such groups do exist, but I wouldn't know how to find one near you. @:-)>

You are going to become what when did this happen how long is it going to take You to be a fundamentalist of the Sunni Wahabe strain are You going to Saudi Arabia soon to do this or what.

The Wahabe are Sunni mainly in Saudi Arabia just so You know eamonn okay.

I'm a Christian, but I can't figure out which denomination. See, I was baptized and grew up in the methodist church when I was younger. Then we moved, and started going to a presbyterian church, where I was confirmed. But now that I went to college, I joined the Wesley Foundation (part of the methodist church) on campus and I go to a methodist church on Sunday. So, I guess I'm methodist as of this moment.

Agnostic. I don't believe in God, or gods, or deities, or what have you (because it doesn't make any sense to me as an explanation for how the universe works, and doesn't answer the question "why" anyway), but I'm not opposed to finding out there is one (or many ). I'd still want to know where *they* came from, though .

Nah just joking, i wouldnt give up my drink for man nor god.

Whew. I almost posted asking if you were joking, because it seemed it must be a joke based on the first sentence of your post. But the second sentence totally threw me off, because that sounded sincere and serious. I was debating whether to ask or not, because I didn't know whether you might get offended at the mere asking--some people, especially those who have converted to a religion as adults, take offense very easily when questioned about their beliefs.

Thanks for clearing this up for me .

No probs. The fact i dont belive in a god probably doesnt help the case but as is pointed out elsewhere some people stay in religion for the culture despite the lack of belief. Indeed if i ever have children here i will probably get them baptised as catholics for cultural and schooling reasons even though im an atheist myself.

I think You should become a Wahabe Sunni and live in Saudi Arabia.

So what do You think.

Well kevv, it might still happen. I was on the blower to Ali the other day and told him Im totally down for this fundamentalist s**t in Saudi but enquired as to were i could get a drink on my own time, well he says i cant and i says "dont bust my balls, i know we tell the masses to not drink but we are the ruling elite and so have the privalege to be hypocritical unlike the great unwashed, surely this is just something we tell others to do".

Well he said that would be unholy and that i am acting like an infidel so i say "look if im going to be fundamentallly strict and angry seven days a week and giving sermons about the evils of the americans and their vices for sixteen hours a day then i need something to take the edge off of it so where do i get a drink, buster?"well then he get's angry and said if i drink alcohol then he personally promises that i will be bent over, have my trousers pulled down and get 100 lashes with a wip and 50 skelps with a slipper as punishment, so i said "il hold you to that brother Ali". All in all im looking forward to being a Saudi Wahhabi.
