Why not? I'm not embarrassed about it. It's my religion.

The key is distinguishing between religious nutjobbery (which I am against), and people who use the church as a social group for doing good (which I stand behind). The latter doesn't require me to believe anything the Bible says.

   

Pretty much.

   

I think that stat is a little high.

I went to church last Sunday......but that's because we were with Princess Anne.

   

And just for the record i was a 'no affiliation"

But they didnt have a line for athiests so.....

And while im at it why dont they have a list for the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? i hear pirates are getting more active off of somoalia

   

At death every person will come before God and be judged for their life.

Atheists, Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists.

Everyone

From there the gate of Heaven will be opened or thy sinner will fall to the pits of thy hell.

   

Just because a number of people identify themselves as belonging to a certain faith it does not mean that they individually believe in the Bible. I've met plenty of people at churches past and present who evidence no belief in the Bible, God, Jesus, or etc.

They're nice enough people, but they don't evidence a belief.

Based on past experience, I'd say that in the USA maybe 10% or so of the people who call themselves Christians or Catholics really, truly believe and profess their salvation through their faith.

For the rest of them church is a kind of moral social club that they totally ignore except between 11am and noon on the Sundays that they happen to attend services.

   

As an avowed atheist you already have.

   

True say.

   

How can an atheist vote Tory!

   

Because I agree with the majority of their policies. They aren't a religious party.

   

ROFLMFAO............

   

They were against Same Sex Marriage.

And RIghtly so.

   

Not all of them.

   

Well said Bart it never ceases to amaze me that the people who most profess to be "religious" . More often than not are the ones so quick to judge and so easily mislead . I think society as a whole has become so intensly focused on being right. They have forgotten the basic commandment of judge not or ye shall be judged. They hide behind proposed religious beliefs and twist the written word of the bible to satisfy there own " moral" beliefs. If some one innocently steps outside these boundries people see as right and proper, they are the ones most often the quickest to cast judgement. People no longer see people, they see surfaces of people. They see shades of character and they judge based on something that may be nothing more than a shadow. Christanity is something that you live, it is not something that you are. Yes the Jig as they say is up. I am neither drunk,nor stupid,nor a slut. I am a highly intelligent articulate girl. As is Kitty. The way she was degraded today over abit of fun and few pictures was disgusting. A few words on the internet, a few pictures. The people I suspect on this board to be the most likely to profess themselves as Christian. Were the ones so quick to judge about her character, her intellect, her sense of morality. The length of someones skirt, the way they have fun are mere shadows of who that person is as a whole. Judge not for ye shall be judged.

   

OHhh bumpity bump bump
