And the good thing is, today's prime antichrist, as chosen by the American people, has something to say...

Everone's etitled to their own opinion. When it comes down to it, your Religion is the most important thing in your life, because . . . after death, what happens? You don't get a new job or start raising a family at this point, so whatever happens to you after deah depends on what you believed while you were alive. I think. Something like that.

Hey Si!! De rest wilden ze niet hebben :) was te lang.... lang niet gezien!

Of course, what happens after death? You know, it doesn't really make sense that self-consious beings like us end up in heaven, because they have had the opportunity to think about it, even create theories and religions... while a dog, obliviously, dies... I want to be a dog.

I think . . . I think (WOW! She thinks!) I think it's okay to believe whatever you want, as long as you're not so "Wahoduh this is THE Religion." You know, I'm not gonna go up to someone and say "Hey! I'm a Catholic, and you're a Jew! You should be shot for being a Jew," because, well . . . one, it's not right, and two, although the Catholic Church believes that It is The Church, it's just not humane to do that sort of thing. Yeah, that's what I think. You don't have to be so showy about it. It's one thing to be proud of what you believe in, but . . . right.

You know, it's all about being tolerant... Like you are. They should teach it at school nowadays..

I believe all animals and humans (who have believed what's right according to (in my opinion) God, (in others' opinions), whoever) go to heaven.

Shit! I should havepaid attention in Religion. Hold on, let me find my notes . . .

The only way I can reply is with something to do with Catholicism and said I didn't like when people are like "Wahooduh-luhbigly" about their Religion, and I'd be telling you what to believe, and I shouldn't.

Bah, that's not true. It's a public forum, it's on topic for the thread. You're not intruding on anyone else's beliefs by stating your own. Go nuts :)

Though I have my doubts about organized religion
I personally find it hard to imagine not believing in any sort of higher power or not believing in anything at all.

I believe in god...not jesus. I'm jewish yet I don't follow all the jewish beliefs. I.E. the kosher thing. Nope, that just doesn't work for me. And no meat and milk....a cheese burger....nope, that doesn't work with me either. And I don't celebrate all the holidays due to the fact that my school is like a 1 in 50 kids jew rate.I don't believe in going to temple(mommy makes me go sometimes), but I feel as though you are just as close to god praying to him in your room then there.
I rely on my illusions to keep me warm at night

Alright.

I believe in both Jesus and God, and I believe that it's possible God is God and I believe in the story of Adam and Eve (regardless if it's Scientifically impossible). And I believe that, as a Catholic, I'm supposed to go to Mass every Sunday, and it's true, I'm not gonn follow everything exactly like it says, but just because I do one wrong thing doesn't mean you should come up to me and say "Hey, I though you were Catholic. Catholics aren't supposed to be bad." I also believe that calling me Christian is like calling me a Jew. We believe a few of the same things and POOF! We're one. I don't get it. ALSO, I am a Catholic for the Democratic party, but that DOES NOT mean I'm pro-choice. It's pro-life, people. Not all of us will think the same. And if I see one more damn thing on the Catholic Priest Sex-Abuse Scandal, or hear one more thing about it, I, personally, will shoot you or whomever said it.

That's it for, now. I think.
