I am a firm believer in God, but I don't think it's right to have organized religions. I mean, if God made us all different, then why would he want us all to worship Him in the same way? I believe that just doing good deeds and being a good person, like what w00dland said, is good enough to get into heaven.
Contrary to w00dland though, I do believe there is a heaven, and a purgatory, and a hell. (I went to a Catholic grade school, I had to learn something there. )

Well, as a believer and a very dedicated and devout Christian, I fully
believe in God. Even though we can't see Him, it's our faith that
gives us the assurance that He is real.
I believe that the only way that we can receive Salvation and gain
enterance into Heaven is to be "born again" and to accept Jesus
Christ as our Savior!
I could go on for days! If you want to debate this, or want to talk
about it, please IM me and I'd be more than happy to answer any
questions you have. My parents are Pastors, so I'm very knowlegeable
in this area!
I'm always happy to talk about this to anyone!

I would go along with this. I didn't exactly feel like typing this much, but thanks for showing your faith
My beleifs are kindof weird, and it would go on for a long time for me to explain it. So why not?
Ok, I'll try to have some of you understand it. You know how when you have a dream you're in it and then when you wake up you can't remember jack squat except for the last bit of it? Yeah, that's sort of what I think happens when you die, but then when you think really hard about the dream it comes back to you slowly. When you die I think that's what happens, and then you realize what everything was. For example when I die, the main thing I'll remember is AE, because that's what I thought/think about most. Then I think that you're either some sort of ghost, or just a "soul." I don't really know about reincarnation. Most of you probably think it's some thing that natives beleive in, but that could be probable also. I also think very scientifically, but I don't like thinking that way about death, because it doesn't please me. The scientific way is that you are just a creature and you die and poof you're dead, but let's not think that way. And yes I do beleive in god, but not like in Bruce Almighty where he's a handyman who fixes lights.
I wouldn't think that someone would make fun of other peoples religions anywhere, but mostly in this topic. But after reading the topic about pets and having certain people laugh at someones cat dieing I question whether or not it's true that our religious opinions are safe in this topic. LOL-Timmy.
