Well did you read my post? Again, saying "I don't know" isn't a bad thing. Science is able to adjust it's reasonings to better understand the universe. Faith cannot-- what it uses it loop-hole reasonings instead of completely changing with new found evidence (example being the creationist movement turning into the Intelligent Design movement). Obviously we don't know everything, and therefore there might be some supernatural/metaphysical entity that created everything-- I'm not saying that there isn't. But is there any proof? Nope. Unless one confines themselves to a specific religion and 'just uses faith' which, imho, is just bogus and is a self-deceptive quality because one can insert anything and believe it (god, gods, aliens, etc).

In any form of religon at all?

Could you please qualify your question?  Its a good one but in order to answer it...what do you define as "better"?

It matters what you believe.  Definitely matters.  Everyone belives in somethings whether they think they do or not.
Religion is not belief.  Religion is a practice.

i am a non believer of christianity, i am pagan and i do believe in god and goddess, i dont believe in the devel, and no, witchcraft does not enslave you, as to popular belief, and pagans are not worshipers of devel for we dont believe in such, yes we do voodoo, but only for the good...we do believe in karma, so we do try to never harm none, that means animals or people or the nature..so the next time you wanna talk about pagans or witchcraft or voodoo or any of the like do your research and try not to spread any lies or miss guided facts about my religion
I did not say you had to be a christian, I said any religon; and secondly I asked a question, I said
A devil worshiper OR voodoo. I did not even state any facts; so before you respond,
Re- read the question,  and make and intelligent response as opposed to this one
I quoted you on.
Good one Nelisa20, I'm not stating if I am a believer of any religion but, have read many religious books and believe that many of these books stated paganism as a religion!!!So if you are a pagan - you do believe in a religion!! From what I have read!!

not to dis any ones personal religion it would be best to say no it dont matter to what you believe, but does matter that you believe something....not sure what you are but that is the reason why i left christianity, they seem to think that only they are correct and nothing else is correct, well i believe each there own, no own religion is correct, its what is correct for you that matters.

I think it's important to first point out that God does not have a religion. He Is.
As far as believing ... I think that is a personal choice.
I would never force my religion on someone as my relationship with my God is an intimate one.

As far as the voodoo and the occult ... it's an interesting take on ritualism that has survived the ages.
I respect it and know a few practioners.
They are entitled to their gods I believe.
They are just familiar with the old ways and keep the old ways alive.
One could say Christianity/Catholicism do the same thing ... over 2000 years now ....

I believe in the God of the Bible, the creator of Heaven and Earth. The God of Abraham, Isac and Jacob, whose name is YHWH (Jehovah). His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ came to earth as a baby, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary. He was born in a manger and taught in the Jewish Synagog at the age of 12. He fulfilled the Law of Moses. He performed many, many miracles. He healed ALL who were aflicted. He raised Lazarus and the Centurian's daughter FROM THE DEAD.

Jesus upset the Political and Religious system of his time. He was a RADICAL REBEL. They beat Him and put many stripes on his back, and by His stripes, I am HEALED. They eventually nailed him to a wooden cross, between two thieves on Mount Calvary. He hung there untill he died. His last words were, "IT IS FINISHED."

He was in the grave/tomb for 3 days and rose again on the 3rd day.

His  sacrifice for ALL of man's sins had been paid. His wipes out and completely erases man's sins. UNLIKE the blood of the anamil sacrifices of the Jews, that ONLY COVERED OVER their sins. Jesus BLOOD erases them FOREVER!! Therefore you can be reconciled unto God and have a personal relationship with Him. IF YOU BELIEVE and RECEIVE Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

Jesus is NOW seated at Right hand of God in Heaven, waiting for His time to come back and rule this earth as King Jesus for one thousand years, and then He will be the Judge at the Judgement of ALL MANKIND!!

I am a believer of the Lord Jesus Christ; I indulge not in Religions which rest on unexplainable supernatural Powers. But in the realization that Jesus is real to anyone who will accept his invitation. As for those who indulge in facts and fiction a scientist first responsibility is to provide an answer whether true or false, yet they themselves have had no choice than to aim to disprove the bible thus proving they believe Jesus' existence, but for the sake of a day job, focus on trying to disprove Divine evidence. They all fail at these (The Flood, Moses parting the red sea as well as many others, such as the bones/body of Christ). The bible was written by man under the inspiration of God: learn from it, I suggest the KJV or the NIV.  :wave:
