Some discussion about Christianity has popped up in a few threads lately, so I thought I'd start this one. This is NOT a thread for bashing another person's beliefs.
Basically, I'm curious as to what people believe in terms of religion/spirituality and why. Looking at religions from an outside perspective, it seems to me that most would seem inspiring in some ways, but not necessarily true. What has led you to believe that your religion is true and that the stories (in the Bible, Koran, Torah, Baghavad Gita, etc. etc.) aren't just inspirational fiction? What have you experienced or what research have you done that has convinced you one way or the other? -------------------- |

Liz: Why don't you try the church of practicology? They love movie stars and stuff.
Tracy: They already turned me down. I'm still not sure what happened. *flashback* I believe the moon doesn't exist. I believe that vampires are the world's greatest golfers, but their curse is that they'll never get to prove it. I believe there are 31 letters in the right alphabet. What was the question again? Tracy: So, what's your religion, liz lemmon? Liz: I pretty much just do whatever Oprah tells me to. --30 rock |
