You can believe whatever you want. Just don't condemn me or anyone else for disagreeing no matter what. Maybe focus on the good of each faith instead of the differences.

This is my stamp, so I used the Jesus fish as a base. You can make your own to customize what you believe!

I've been a little bit everything faith-wise though out my years of soul searching. I settled on Christianity (no denomination). I've learned that preaching to someone seldom converts. People need to do their own searching, their own praying, or lack their of. If I wanna advertise at all, I should just live it and be a good person. (Though I'm human, so this seldom happens, lol).
I'm that person with a Jesus fish on their car that flips you off. Again I'm human, why the high standards?

If you're happy, and have good will for others, that's fine. Do I always agree with you? No. Do you believe in my God? Not always. Does God love you? Yes. Do I love you? Yes.

Christians get a bad wrap. Not all of us are hateful, bible thumpers. If we really followed the bible better, we'd respect and love you no matter what. We're taught to love the sinner hate the sin. Give charitably with a happy heart. Love our brother/sister. God is love. Jesus loves you.

No one is perfect. People need to stop acting like they are, stop assuming people are.

I recommend learning as much as you can from everything, then draw your own conclusions.

(To be honest, I have a Jesus Fish on my car eating a Darwin Fish... I'm sorry. That thing makes me laugh.)

Feel free to talk about your experiences. Any flaming will be marked as Spam.

I couldn't agree more. Being atheist/agnostic -ish, most other atheists I know (not a religious area here, most people are atheist) blame religions for a lot of the world's problems. Sure, a lot of wars are based on religion, but that's when people get fanatical. When people aren't fanatical and have respect for others' religions then I'd say they do a whole lot of good for society. The vast majority of religious morals are definitely good ones.

I saw a poster in the church I pass on the way to school this morning saying "There are many paths of life, but only one leads to God" or something along those lines. It made me think - if there is a deity of some sort, wouldn't he/she/it/they care more about if you lived a good or bad life than if you believe in them or not? I believe that if there is a deity, simply leading a good life would be enough to be praised after death. I believe that if there is some all-powerful being, he/she/it/they would understand that, at least in the world of today, there isn't a whole lot of reason to believe in them. (I guess some people would want to argue against that, but seeing as I grew up as an atheist and don't see a reason to change, that's pretty much proof... unless you want to call me arrogant. :P)

Maturity is the ability to know when immaturity is acceptable.

heck I am christian myself though I don't read the bible(shame on me):P I still have faith in belief and I do my best to be a good person. Not because it is required to do so but because it feels right for me. People need to let other believe what they wish because every one has their likes and dislikes and the same goes towards beliefs also. Also for those debating if religious truth is wrong and science is right, to me in way they never said that only one truth existed. There are still many unexplained possibilities we don't know about so the best thing is for us to believe what we think is right to us while doing our best to respect what others believe also. Who knows we might uncover the true truth one day, perhaps when we reach the afterlife.

Wise words, my homie!

Everyone's wrong because everyone's right. Try to find the balance of listening to others whilst being true to yourself.
:iconwarriorofheaven:
you know atheists are following a faith too. They have to realize that they could be wrong.

My mind's at peace and I am satisfied with Jesus.

No one can verify how we were created. Period. No one was there. No matter the tests they conduct, no one was there... Conducting tests... Conducting by hands and intelligence, not by chance. That variable alone screws up the tests before they begin.
Science states that you can't get something from nothing (I can't remember the exact law - something about Thermodynamics?) So to have a science-based idea on creation goes against science itself.
People choose to follow the idea of the big bang. Time and Space gave birth to perfection. That's fine.
I choose to believe scientific laws, life, intelligence, organisms, co-existence were all crafted and managed by God. God has a sweet copy of Maya/3-D Studio Infinity...or Spore.
Who's to say that when God said, "Let there be light" a sort of Big Bang didn't occur? He wove life and order together from this... To me that sounds logical. To my spirit, I feel it's true.
I say God as the Jesus-God because of my own personal experiences through searching, prayer, blessings, and emotions.

I figure to let people believe what they want. You can't force your beliefs on anyone, they have to experience/seek it themselves. Open-heart, open-mind. People sometimes harden their hearts against it, or seek out other options for their own reasons. I have done this, I have returned to Christ.

That thar is all I haz to sey 'bout dat. XD

I don't support any religion myself because I want to learn about everything and anything. I consider myself spiritual.

I love this stamp and your story because it is so true. I wish that other Christians or heck, any other religious person would read this and realise that they just cant convert someone to their religion - it has to be their choice and theirs alone.

This has gone to my favourites. Thank you for making it. :)

"Renji’s scheduled to transfer out of the eleventh to join the sixth as a vice-captain very soon, and Zaraki just can’t respect a guy who wants to work for the owner of the fruitiest bankai out of all bankais to ever bankai in the history of bankai-dom."

Thank you for sharing that with me!

excuse my interruption, but I very much agree with that. LOL, I needed to hear that today. And your right, no one on this fucking planet can say how the universe was created and be right. Because no one was there to witness it.

be more cheerful :airborne:

I believe in Jesus Christ as my personal Savior
