Have you always wanted to know what makes your fellow FMF-ers tick?? How they feel about something?? What they like or dislike??

Well, now you can

Send me your suggestions for a poll in a PM and next week's Easy Weekly Poll could be your question

A few rules:
- This is meant to be fun, so no difficult, controversial or political questions.
- Try and limit the number of options

Don't overanalyse the question or yourself, whether you go to church or temple once a year or weekly, whether it's organised religion or just a feeling, you know yourself, so select the answer that feels right.

Not one bit. A very proud atheist .

I lack the balls to be totally devoid of a deity, but I'm mostly non-religious. Every once in a while, I ask God to do something (never in regard to myself--only to others), or thank Him when things go well. But serendipity is where I prefer to find meaning.

Not for me personally, but it's nice that for some people out there they have something to fall onto to help them through tough times.

I just feel bad for the fact that when they get to the end if their life they'll realise it has been a waste of time and they will just sigh, "shit"

Not a bit.

Not in the slightest.

Nope.

But my boss is very religious, we've had some heated discussions about it. Pope Ratzinger Z is sending me to hell anyway....

/types while church bells toll for mass in the distance....

Nope.

I believe in a god/higher power or something but not following any religion, so clicked no.

No. I am christened, though; is that enough to save me?

I'm in no way religious. However, I would suggest that I'm spiritual, minus the religious side.

I.E. that I will often meditate, believe in the flow of energy within the body, and have no problems with stuff like alternative medicines.

But a fixed religion with a deity and beliefs... Nope. Never have been, and never will.

NO YOU MUST ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

Nope. The power of Christ compels you to deny cock!

Before it crows three times ...

I listen to Bible readings at night on TWR which sends me to sleep. Some of the things God did in the Old Testament is most enlightening. He is like Hitler for the ancient times!

Not religious at all, but spiritual. I've been practicing meditation twice a day for over 20 years.
I do believe in a higher consciousness which is available to everyone if we will only stop obsessing with our personal desires and set ourselves free from all of that. I also believe that Christ was real and was a pretty smart guy free of a lot of common baggage (had no iPhone) and could understand the meaning of life more clearly (just don't interpret the words attributed to him too literally).

I didn't vote because there wasn't a "spiritual, but not religious" option.

Nah, the idea that we were created by some all knowing being that wasn't smart enough to spot the glaring hippocracy in his religion just doesn't add up.

You assume that that being was fully in control of the religion he 'started'.

I'm starting to believe that God and religion are not mutually dependent. Or even that one directs the other.

Well he wrote the Bible didn't he, that where all the hypocrisy is.

For me it's one of those cases where there's no proof either way so I have no real opinion on the subject.

No one can ever prove to me that God exists, but at the same time no one can prove that he doesn't exist either.

I do not follow any religion but I hold nothing against anyone who does.

"That being" never started any religions.


No he didn't. "That being" didn't write the Bible.

I belive , but not in a good.

I am christened , confirmated ( doesnt mean the same as the word might do to you )

and are still member of the chruch.

i might aswell be seeing as a bit of my tax goes to them, Also it means that when I die i wont cost any of my relatives anything to get rid off.

Well, God DID write the bible..every word was directed from Him through his followers and every translation was also guided by Him. Hence the tyrannical and blind following of it's every word by it's readers. Unless it's about not mixing different types of cloth together or eating shellfish. THAT'S not usually followed too closely. Stuff about gay folks being bad, conversely, usually is.
I was a Christian untill about four years ago so at least I can argue both sides fairly well. Now i just like WILLIES!!!

Atheist.

Actually, I agree with both. The second one specifically, because the way that the Bible was written was similar to an enormous ancient WIki-Project.

To say that "the Bible is the unequivocal word of God" would be crazy, even for me. It cannot be proven - mainly because the Bible was written over centuries. Besides which, it hardly follows a central narrative, or theme - it's more like a massive anthology, covering various themes, history, ancient religious law. Particularly the Old Testament.

The New Testament, less so. But even then, it was still written by various followers over many centuries. It's obvious how wide an interpretation could be given.

No and you're free to think whatever you like, but if you try and prosthelytise at me then you *may* get punched in the face and you *will* burn in the hell that you're stupid enough to believe in.

But if he doesn't want me what can I do then?

Dude...he's Jesus.

Go with the Mormons...

If they all look like mine did earlier I just might. I can't be doing with those plain Jane outfits, though. I suppose it won't matter when they're naked...

You have your own Mormon ?????

He's locked in the cellar. They don't drink wine do they? If they do, that could be a mistake!

They don't have sex outside of marriage (to the opposite sex).
Even necking and petting is not allowed.

Mormon >> DOES NOT COMPUTE. I guess my view of them is similar to the way Amish view outsiders...

I'm not sure how I feel about them. The founding of their religion is laughable and they have very questionable views on race, sexuality, and us gays. But then they're spun to be so sweet and polite. Mitt Romney's father, for example, actually refused to back racist policies during the Civil Rights movement, despite HEAVY reprimands from his church, which is actually pretty ballsy. If only his son had such a spine.

There is only our natural world.
Religion is myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds and sucks joy from this world like dusk swallows daylight.

^^^ Very poetic.

(nods) I'm in love.

We knew that already.

That's a very chilled, laid-back attitude. Funnily enough, I was reading about WOodstock earlier...


Ahhhh, if only I knew what our handsome friend looked like...

Favorites....

Did somebody ask about long distance relationships?
(and they've never met to boot!)

He's happily hooked up with some lucky dude where he lives, so nothing we say to each other on here is serious.
