I read this book, called "The Great Divorce" by C.S. Lewis (the guy who wrote The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe) and thought it was interesting. It was all about Heaven and Hell, but it didn't bring religion into it, really. It just made you think a lot...

I am Roman Catholic. I like being Roman Catholic. That is all I'll say about my religion.

I think religion helped get people through. It gave people something to believe in when they felt things were hopeless. No matter what religion people believed in, it was something to put faith into. But, I also think, the meaning behind "religion" varies from person to person.

That's my 1 cent...I'd give all 2 cents, but I don't think CD is the place for it.

I really doubt that is a Catholic doctrine. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

More likely what you're refering to is the fact that Christianity is "evangelical" -- meaning that the Christian message is good news, and as such we want to let others know. The object is not to coerce people into the religion, but to give them the opportunity to hear and believe the good news.

Just a quick thought people have found that we are hardwired in the brain for prayer. Monks who have been monitered have been shown to show more brain activity than normal. It's also been proven that it happens with all people who pray. Sorry Ill elaborate more tomorrow. Gtg fast.

I disagree that CD should be a religion-free zone. I think it's refreshing to be able to discuss other things that are important to us too. (Come to think about it, FIRST comes pretty close to being a religion doesn't it? )

I'm with ya, Christina. I converted to Catholicism 5 years ago and I'm very happy. I'm not perfect (duh!), but I enjoy a deep faith in God.

I will discuss this with others, but I also think that freedom of religion is a great thing. Respect of others in their own religions is good... but Catholicism works for me and my family.

"For Inspiration of Science and Technology" and here we are blindly following a devine being without knowledge of existance and a lack of imperial evidence. Hmmm

Personally, I haven't gone to church a whole lot, since my parents are working a lot. We used to go around the holidays, but we haven't since my grandfather died (5 years). I don't really see it on a religious level. I see it as a corporation where people donate money willingly to pay salaries for a bunch of priests, ministers, bishops, popes, etc. I know I will get flamed for this, but when has religion become a case of monetary value? The answer: Ever since it began.

I thought religion was supposed to be based on faith? As long as you have your faith, you have everything to look forward to. This is what I believe.

Me? I'm agnostic. I don't deny a god, because it is impossible to disprove anything. I don't believe in a god, though, because it has not yet been proven. I'm perfectly open to the views of any religion: Provided they have good points to back them up.


Many times in English and Physics class I found myself sharing views on religion with my friend, Paul. We analyzed a lot of things, and these are what helped to reaffirm the views I have.

thanks for your thoughts

i think that after reading what everyone is written, im still skeptical about it, but i have revised my thoughts and think that there are bigger problems and stuff that i didnt encounter during my thought process. i agree with fighting about food and peace the contridictions they bring to my thought cycle. But i still dont see how i could believe in something with so many unawnsered questions. But the same goes for science too, yet my faith in science is unquestioning because it seems that they [science] can find an awnser to almost all questions. Its a topic in which i have to do more research as a person and as a topic to be fully aware of it.

The question becomes, "It there anything that does not require faith?"
