It's just a shame 'an eye for an eye' doesn't wash so well (moreso in the UK) lol
According to the bible the earth is 6000 years old. According to science it's millions of years old and we all know how the universe was created. I guess I am very much an evolutionist (should really buy an evo then lol), although as for the 'big bang' it's possible a god or higher power of sorts kicked it all off.
O/T: but along the lines of Mojo's Finnish fanatics: Heard about the 'bible church of Kansas' website www.godhatesswedes.com ?
They are saying all the Swedes killed in the Tsunami were evil as they were in Thailand molesting kids. No word of what their however-many fellow US citizens were out in the region for though...must be the nice weather (sarcasm) surely not the sex industry? :roll:

Onanism forever!
I'm an atheist by belief. However, I still belong to the Orthodox Church because I didn't have much choice and never bothered to renounce it.

/\ Thought it didn't look right the way I'd written it! Orthodox church? Are you from a russian/greek/... background, then bad?

I'd better not piss you off in that case. You might send your imaginary army of ninjas to slice me.

My religion is petrolism
Seriously, I'm raised a bit catholic. But I never really believed and I don't practise it. So you can call me an atheist

Although i would say i am a definite atheist, you have to admit there is a lot of funky shit that goes on that cant always be explained - whch leads me to think there might be something else 'on the other side'
when my grandma died (before i was born) my mother said that she was lying in the bed saying "its ok i can see you now George"(a relation who had already died many years earlier) and "im on my way" and such things. It seems even more funky when from what i can find out - my grandma never believed in any of that sort of stuff particularily, and wasnt one to joke about such things)

I prefer the theory which says we and the universe are just one big computer simulation run by other people of some sort..... just like "The Sims" but more advanced

wow i have to say that i am suprised at how many people dont really believe in god or whatever. i am pretty much in the same boat, i was raised catholic but i have never truely believed in it and now i guess i would consider myself an anthiest. i however dont dislike religion or anything. if thats what what you believe or makes you happy then all the power too you.
but i dont like it when someone asks you about religion or god and looks down upon you or like you are a bad person for not believing.

I am of Christian belief, but I do not belong to any church in particular. I was baptised Catholic, but I never really followed it.

I was baptised and raised Catholic, I went to catholic school as well and I wear a crucifix around my neck...but...I hardly go to mass, and I'm a very skeptical person. I do believe in god, but not in the textual biblical sense...
