Technically, I'm Mormom, but well, the LDS church isn't really fond of bi/gay people, so.... I could really relate to the movie "Latter Days".
It disturbs me that so many people are atheist. I know it is hard at a young age to reconcile homosexuality and religion. I live in a very small alabama town and know of a gay minister and others that are completely accepting. Don't let the evangelical right distort your view. There are people who are religious and gay. God love everyone, no stipulations.
I think the reason that quite a few people are atheist here is that they hear a lot of homophobic comments from religious groups in news reports and on the internet etc, when in reality these groups are actually in the minority and in my experience the vast majority of christians are very open minded and accepting. I'm not religious, I consider myself to be agnostic, I'm believe that there COULD be a god, but at the same time I see a lot of evidence to suggest otherwise. But I like to keep open minded about these things. The thought of no life after death kind of saddens me, but at the same time I find it difficult to just have faith in things like that without proof...
I do not believe in a single supreme being. However I do believe that when we die our spirits move onto another level, and that it is the spirits of our loved ones guiding us that some people attribute to the love and actions of God. I also believe that when the spirits have nobody to watch over or otherwise feel their work is done they have the option to reincarnate. So I do not follow any sort of organised religion but I do have spiritual beliefs. I chose "Other" in this poll.
Just to clairify, i was christened Roman Catholic (ouch) but converted to my current path. I currently identify as Wiccan.
Atheist here. I tried to make myself believe in god & an afterlife for a while, but I came to the realization that a belief I have to force myself to hold isn't really my belief at all.
well, its written in Al Quran, but its words r so ambigous. its all written lyk a poem, so hard to decypher its meaning. sum says its forbidden, sum says its forbidden only if its done not by their own free will. but logically, i dnt think Allah swt. hate HIS own creation. oh, shit. im crying again....
Of all faiths, I would have to say that I think the Muslim faith would be that hardest in which to reconcile being anything other than "straight'. Me? - Well, I have to say that Becky probably said it as well as anyone could. For years I identified as "Atheist" - but I'm not really. I think of myself (these days) as being "spiritual" - but I cannot, and will not, bring myself to believe in the doctrines of any of the "organised" religions. If I say I believe in "Karma" - that would probably express it as well as anything else could... Do as to others etc...
