THOU SHALT NOT WORSHIP FALSE IDOLS AND PROHPETS!!!

or sommit like that anyway.

if you worshipped yourself i suppose you could label it a cult of personality. like with those people who worshipped stalin.

I dont worship myself, not in that way. I don't have an alter to me that I sacrifice young children on (Though that ain't a bad idea...), but the only thing I come close to reverence for is my own life. Or reason, by which I govern my life.

I only thing I worship is myself. Don't know what you would call that but thats what I am. At least untill god decides to lay the smack-down on me for being a heretic. If you can't accept that as an answer, I suppose you could say I worship reason.

That's called egotism, I believe. It's also a form of satanism.

That makes you a satanist, but not the worship-the-devil kind.

[AthlaS]

Christian. Lutheran, to be exact.

Same here. But I never go to church. <.<

But what is this called? I don't think that people should have to pray to a god for help. They should learn to help themselves through their life. Is that called being atheist?

Sounds similar to deism, which is the belief that God (or some greater entity) did in fact create the world, but then for some reason decided not to involve himself in the world. Like a clock maker, he made it, and it works just fine, but he never repairs it if it gets broken or something.

That's actually a very popular belief in the category of Cosmic Humanism, Deism being found within that group.

I am a Christian, non-denominational though. I find that putting an exact name on your beliefs limits you to just those, and blinds you from others, which is why I am neither Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox.

I'm curious though, how many of you actively participate in your religions? State whether or not you're a practicing believer or not, pretty much. To answer my own question, I do attend a local church on Sundays, though only 2-3 times a month lately due to recent inconveniences that have prevented me from attending on a regular schedule.

My religion is Taoism ... But I went to church for my early education when I was like ... 4-6 ...~

[Ramstien]

Apatheism.

Meaning i couldn't give a shit wheter god or gods exist or not.

Not the same as Atheism or Agnosticism.

[Manic]

Catholic Christian and an Opus Dei member. It sucks though...my salary on any job I get, 3% of it goes to the group...

i that 3% on top of a 10% tithe, or do you only pay the 3%? I've gotta admit, tithing does tend to hurt the wallet sometimes for me, but in the end it's necessary.

[kcool]

you gotta pay to do your religion whoa that sucks

you gotta pay to do your religion whoa that sucks

No, you don't need to, many people don't actually. Christianity as a whole is optional, you can choose what you want to do and what you don't, but 99.9% of the time that'll put you on the wrong side of the fence. Tithing shows dedication, it shows that you recognize that without God you would have nothing, so you give him his fair share. what the tithe is used for is also generally a good cause, very little of it goes towards the churches themselves in most cases, it is usually spent on community service projects, donations to the needy, and in many cases sponsoring children abroad though school, or just plain ol' life.
