Where Do You Fit In Religion Wise?
Curious as to which of the following slots you most closely fit as to your beliefs.
A. There is a god who worries about us, will answer prayers and who will someday send the Messiah. B. Same as above but he has sent the Messiah already. C. It's one of the two above but I'm not sure which. D. There is a watchful god but no Messiah. E. It's one of the above but I'm not sure which. F. There is a god but he only checks on us occasionally, imparts conciousness,does a few other things, but doesn't make humans on earth anything special in his mind. G. There is a vague sort of god, maybe more than one, nature, truth, beauty geometry, buddha, whatever, but not the specific entity that most Americans believe. H. It's one of the above but I'm not sure which. I. God created the universe and the laws of physics but then left us alone forever and probably couldn't change things anymore if he wanted to. J. There is no God of any sort. K. It's one of the above two but I'm not sure which. I. I have no idea. I don't claim that this list is all encompassing.

M. God is irrelevant. peace john nickle [/ QUOTE ] I'm for option "I," and I think this jibes quite nicely with what you state above. If there is a God, I can't know it/him/her through personal contact. I know enough about cognitive science to know that we can be made to believe that we have seen anything, no matter how fantastic. I also know enough about history, religion, and mysticism to know that science cannot possibly explain every phenomenon. As an agnostic, I sort of feel that it's not really any of my business. I need to do what I'm going to do. If there is a God, I just humbly prey that I did the right thing in life. Since I can't know, however, I don't want to waste my life searching for an impossible answer. And I'm sure you can tell that I'm not exactly a man who takes things on faith.
