    Not any specific religion, but I still do. Hasn't anyone seen God's Facebook page? The Lord constantly makes statuses about how he loves his lgbt babies.

    Sarcastic about what? There is a facebook page by God. Absolutely legit. The page, at least. The creator of it... Whether you believe he's just a man or the lord, it doesn't matter; he gets lots of support for equal rights causes, not just LGBT ones.

    Eh, somewhat. After my stint with being LDS (if you consider 5 years a stint), I'm more spiritual than religious. I feel that some divine being/entity/force doesn't need me to worship him on a given day of the week, I could just exemplify his existence in my own, as a testament to his divinity, if that makes sense.

    I'm kinda weird about this, my family is Christian, Methodist specifically. I believe in God and Jesus, but I don't believe in the principles people always tag along. I still like the whole "Be good to others" and stuff, but not the overreaching things, like "Never lie"; or "You have to sell all your belongings to get into heaven". And I don't believe things people decided to tag onto Christianity that aren't mentioned in the Bible.

    I believe the basis on which religion is rooted was a good one and that people just twisted it to fit their own doctrine so to answer your question yes but I feel as if organized religion isn't for me.

    Thought it was BS before, during and especially after I had come to terms with my sexuality.

    I'm a Catholic and I do believe in God. I was probably going to end up judged and going to hell anyways since I wasn't the nicest person in high school so meh.

    I believe in God. I also believe that people are misinterpreting the Bible to use it as a weapon. People also are not looking at the passages written in the lenses of the day, but instead in the lenses of the modern day. This can lead to very, very different interpretations, people just need to take the time to actually look and study the verses instead of just using them as a weapon for pain or hurt.

    I have no religious beliefs. Whilst I'd lurve there to be a God so I can give him a bitch slap for letting the world get so screwed up, my path of logic leads me to the conclusion that there is no God, Gods or whatever. I have no issue with people who do believe in God, and I even listen primarily to Christian Church music (one of the best things to come out of religion in my opinion). As long as people don't try and convert others (either way, to or from religion) I'm fine with it. Let people decide what the truth is for themselves. I'm sure that if there is a God, he'd only be worth worshipping if he lets people come to him of their own accord, not because believers have forced them by brainwashing, fear or indoctrination.

    I do believe in God. Yes, people interpret the Bible in all sorts of hateful ways, but Jesus didn't even mention homosexuality, and He did tell us to love our neighbors and our enemies. Those who hate us, or anyone for that matter, are not good Christians. You can't pick and choose. I think people just fabricate reasons to justify their hate because we're "icky".

    I don't believe in God, but that has little to do with me being gay. It more has to do with the fact that I'm heavily into science, and the existence of God doesn't make logical sense.

    That's not to say I'm not spiritual though. I do believe that something happens to the mind after you die, and I don't think it's oblivion. Perhaps it has something to do with Orch-OR.
