After the interesting discussion that is currently going on in the Sexual Orientation forum, I began to wonder what religion (if any) many of you are. Myself, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) and proud of it!

I'm evangelic from birth on. But I don't hold to any religion. Though I'm no atheist, either. And no stubborn, blocking anything unusual "scientific" kind of thinking, rather open for anything new and unknown yet. Also logical thinking, combined with intuition. As such, I can believe anything that my inner voice tells me would be right, but also remain critical enough to differentiate lies from truth. :max:

That´s interesting. Thought the Mormons say no to everything that has to do with the "outer" world. In other words: they aren´t allowed to watch TV, drive cars, etc...
But maybe this goes more into the direction of the Hutterers???

I´m catholic. But I don´t care which confession I belong to. I think church and relion is some mediaval stuff. Everyone can believe in what he wants to. No need for some institution that tells you they operated in sense of a god.

Ok good, so you CAN tell the difference between your conscience and the evil little Leprachaun that tells you to burn things.

Edit:
@Don Corleone: You didn't by chance happen to see the movie Witness with Harrison Ford did you? I only ask, because I am frequently asked the question you did. In Witness, Harrison Ford goes to hide among the Amish people, but in many translations of the film, for one reason or another, they changed the word "Amish" into "Mormon." So no, Mormon's are allowed to use computers, drive cars, etc. Myself and many of friends are technilogical geeks.

They're both opposite extremes. And I prefer to stay in the middle, using both when needed, prefering the good side usually, though. Because "good" is the same as ethics. And the inner voice only tells anything in ethical way.
If you can understand what I mean.

I'm orthodox.I'm like freefreddy when it comes to religion.

I belong to no religion.
Although Slovenia is mostly Catolic country I was born in the time of the communist regime, so I wasn't baptised (so I wasn't forced into any religion). I can choose whichever I want, but I choose to stay atheist.

I'm convinced, that there's no higher being controling us. Everything that is, is a subject to the laws of nature (they aren't personal and there is no will behind them - they are cold and simple science). This however doesn't mean, that we shouldn't strive for a meaninful life - but you must find your own meaning, set your own goals (they off course must not harm others).

That being said I must say I am fascinated with philosophies of different religion (and also some other theories, like marxism,...). That doesn't mean I believe them, but they are trying to explain how everything came to be! Science can't do that (but I think that's only temperary). The main two faults of religions I found are:
-they come to a point, they can't explain something any more, so they say that's the will (or act of) a supreme being - GOD;
-institutions that are supposed to take care of religious needs are led by people, that were curropted in the past (way to many times, and many still are). So those people are many times trying to force their views upon others and were/are often an excuse for war. Many of them also exploit the fears, shame and misery of this life to tie people to their believe. But that's the problem off people that are leading religious movemants (and communism - which isn't a religion, but is really close to being one).

So you and FreeFreddy kind of take the Homer Simpson route?

I`m chatolic :ok:

When a child is born in Iceland, it is put in the Lutherian church.
So, on records, I'm there.
But I never go to church, unless for some weddings or funerals or something like that.
I don't believe in god, Jesus nor any of all that.
