Welcome to Gaia! ::

puritans were a group of christian reform. catholicism is a denomination of christianity. islam believes in the same god as christianity, and is similar in many ways. in fact, back in the time of muhammad muslims had the highest social class, christians and jews were kind of like the middle class, and people who were none of the 3 were ******** outcasts. the true muslim belief looks at christians and jews as "people of the book", its the extreme hypocritical muslims that are the ones bombing buildings. im agnostic, but im definately a more atheist agnostic(if that makes any sense). i believe that some kind of conscious thought brought about existance, not some all powerful god brought about existance. so i guess you could say im like a minor agnostic. i do agree with you in that i oppose organized religion, but im even more extreme. i oppose religions in general. anything that keeps you from making your own judgement of right and wrong, im opposed to. if youd lived around christians as strongly and long as i had, you wouldve already heard the answer to the question who created god so many times that hearing it answered again would probably make your ears bleed. something of the nature of "noone did", or "if god can last forever he didnt have to have a beginning". thats a fairly easy question for a christian to answer. all religion is is a way for humans to obtain a hope for their life, while trying to ensure that people can brainwashed into not commiting certain acts. i figure the creators of religions probably figured "hey, picture this. if we can trick a large amount of people in believing in something, and convince them they will be punished if they dont abide by the rules of the god we create, its an easy way to keep people under control". my mom pretty much knows im agnostic, or knows im not christian anyway. i just dont wanna make a big deal out of it because you dont understand how psycho my parents are about christianity. my dad once tried to get me sent to a military school because i wasnt "living a christian life". obviously he couldnt do that, my parents are divorced and i live with my mom, but still

i agree that it is slavery, but i have a slightly more agressive outlook on it than you. im not really like "its your problem, not mine" im more of "******** you slave, its time for liberation". its cool that you developed your views on your own. their fairly complex, and their your own. thats fine, in fact it encourages me when people use their own religious beliefs as nothing more than a theory of existance. your views are slightly too superstitious for my tastes, but they do make sense. im honestly almost 0% superstitious or paranormal in any way shape or form

you stated alot of views for things like esp and such. im not telling you youre wrong, and thats definately your belief and you should stick to it, im just saying your theorys of existance are a little more paranormal and non worldly than mine. once again thats fine
