I'm from Spain, a country with deep-rooted religious traditions (especially in my autonomous community, Andalusia), and I tell you, Christianity as understood today is muddied, not being delivered to the people the real message of Christianity (and not only the society is guilty, the Church itself is guilty as well). Very briefly, I tell you from my experience that what matters is not whether there is a God in heaven and blablabla... but we have to make his message (found in the Bible, and beware!, we must interpret the texts in order to get the message and do not misunderstand) the way we live. In the case of video, the girl has had this mystical experience (we do not know if it is false or true, she knows in his heart what he says), in which she allegedly saw Jesus ... in fact, the only advantage that I take to the story is what counts in the video description: Today the Church needs a makeover, to adapt to this society and be critical of the moral's people are against life (because life is the most gratuitous gift that man has, is so free that we do not deserve it. Did we do anything before birth to deserve the life?). I have also encounters with God, I find it every day in every person with whom I speak, with which I relate, laugh, cry, enjoy ... because I think God is in the hearts of all people. That's my way of seeing God, and for me is perfect, real, lively... Well, too big but this is my opinion, so now if you want to you can think that I'm crazy or criticize my arguments. I'm always open to new knowledge.

No. Half side of my family was Jewish, the other half, Catholic, they decided best if the next generation follows Atheism. And I agree. So no, I don't believe in god. Not saying their may not be one out there. But I don't believe in one. I follow what makes common sense & logic. Science. I'm an athiest.

I'm a simple person, I strictly believe there's a way to explain everything and along that everything can be answered by a long chain of the simple question "why".
I refuse to say that any religion is wrong though, there may be posibilities beyond any comprehension... and who am I to say that it's wrong? although, that doesn't mean I have to believe it myself until I get proved wrong in my own beliefs, if I have any.
this is something I believe in though; every person have their own religion, everyone interpret things depending on their own life and experiences. that mean there's one "religion" (or rather "belief" maybe) per person since there's not two persons that can in any way be 100% exactly the same in setup and experience.
as long as nobody try to force their own beliefs onto someone else, I say "enjoy your own beliefs. ignore what others say unless you, yourself, feel that you're proven wrong and/or start to doubt your own beliefs".

I believe in christianity. I also believe in science. I feel as if there are things that my religion can explain that science simply doesn't have a good explanation for, and also vice versa. As long as you don't try and make me believe your beliefs, I'm fine with what you believe. I also think that guy who keeps predicting doomsday is an idiot that doesn't actually believe in true christianity, but his own deluded version. After all, the bible says we'll never truly know when till it actually happens

Yeah I agree with you totally Jeffay, and the I beleive the bible verse you were thing of was Matthew 24:36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

I dont believe in God and most of his rules and the organized religion and we must pray to him n all that bullshit. I just believe that theres a higher being somewhere out there. aand im not going to worry about my afterlife cause for all i know this can be our only life so why worry about some god and what he thinks. I just live my life the best way i think and see what happens.

Being an atheist doesn't mean you don't believe in a higher power, it just means you don't believe in the THEISTIC God.
Personally, I'm an agnostic. Meaning I don't know if there is a God a not.
I'm a very scientific person and I rely heavily on my own two eyes and ears however, there are things in this life that science cannot explain, including itself. I think that God, or religion in general for that matter, was and is a means of crowd control. However, that isn't to say that people shouldn't believe in something more powerful than themselves. If there is a God or not, the belief of one gives people the strength to go on through unimaginable atrocities as well as everyday life.

I think people should be able to believe what they want as long as their beliefs don't harm others. Personally I do believe in a higher power and I think there is a god but if it turns out I'm wrong then oh well.

I do believe on god, in my own way. I also, however, hate the catholic church and an amazing amount of their members, even thought I consider myself catholic...
Did you guys know the most important person of the catholic church on Mexico is the Cardenal Norberto Rivera? Someone who was accused on USA and Mexico of covering and helping escape a pedophilic priest, and of money laundry by the Interpol. Oh yes, but we have to listen to him at the cathedral giving us speechs about morality and how we shouldn't be greedy, while he's wearing expensive jewelry and a golden watch.
I also know some wonderfull priests... they're hard to find, but they give me some hope.

I do believe in god and im Jewish
Religion can help explain so many things and science does have some flaws such as how was the big bang caused and what caused it to happen
However it is vice versa science also has facts but I'm more religion

I've read all your post guys, and I agree with some comments. I think that religion is a way to get closer to god, but it can be used in the wrong way as projetk300 said. But we know that human beings have freedom and that freedom means that our actions are both constructive or destructive. It's our decision to make our choice, and that choice must always respect life, as I said before, life is the most important thing we have.
