"What religion are you?" I am of no religion. Somebody should ask God, "what religion are you"? Maybe somebody on sciforums already knows.

If you were able to ask Jesus, "what religion are you?", what would He say?

Beryl: "True, true. I asked the question incorrectly. Sorry."
When you asked, "what religion are you?" did you mean organized religions such as mentioned in your poll, christiantity and etc. If this is what you meant, I am of no religion, but in your poll I marked 'other'.
Religion: belief in a personal God or gods entitled to obedience and whorship.
battig1370: "If you were able to ask Jesus, "what religion are you?", what would He say?"
Jesus' personal God was his Father that Jesus loved, prayed to, whorshiped and was obedient to. --- Jesus prayed three times, "O Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." - (Matt. 26:39)
Jesus said, "ALL POWER is given unto ME in heaven and earth" - (Matthew 28:18) --- "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY WORDS shall not pass away." - (Matt.Rev.24:35)
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." -(John14:6)
My personal God is Jesus, but Saul/St.Paul's 'Mystical Jesus' is not my God. Those who whorship the 'Mystical Jesus' of Saul/St.Paul's are whorshiping 'The Image of the Beast'. I'm not a christian because the founder of christianity was Saul/St.Paul and his 'Mystical Jesus' that claimed to be The Jesus of Nazareth.
Peace be with you, Paul

How can a satanist claim to be atheist ? Its still having faith in a myth. Don't satanists just do it for the partys . The sex ,drugs, and rock'n'roll thing ? Must say that if i was forced into a religion, satanism looks the most fun
I am a Christian. I am a registered engineer by profession and education. I believe that Jesus is resurrected from the dead. If he wasn't then somebody please show us the bones of this dead person.
Anyone that doesn't believe Jesus existed, died on a cross, and was resurrected should read a book by Josh McDowel titled: "Evidence that Demands a Verdict." Josh was an atheist that set out to disprove christianity in his philosophy doctoral thesis. As Josh said: Jesus was either a liar, a lunatic, or Lord. There really is no debate on the subject of whether he existed or not as a man.
As one of my agnostic engineering co-workers said concerning evolution, even 4 billion years wasn't enough time to evolve man from dirt.
Evolutionists claim that they are the smart ones, and anyone that believes in god is just plain stupid. Last time I had my IQ measured it was 136. Newton, Einstein, Edison, Kelvin, and many other notable scientists believed in a god. Evolution theory was around in their day (except for Newton).

If you cant find the bones, is it more logical that he rose from the dead, that you're looking in the wrong place, or that he never existed?
Then please prove he existed then since it shouldnt be too hard, then you can work on proving if he did anything significant.
Thats a pretty baseless statement.
I dont think they claim they are smarter, just more logical, im sure you'd find however most people here have a similar IQ to yours, and just a helpful note for you, name dropping will not make a religion more popular.

Anyone who belives Jesus actually existed should read The Jesus Puzzle
http://pages.ca.inter.net/~oblio/home.htm
There is a debate and the evidence suggests that Jesus as a man is a later christian development from the at the time common Christus concept of a heavenly intermediatry between an unknowable god and all too knowable humans.
4 billion years is plenty of time, i suggest a visit to talk origins, this is a debunk of this argument
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/abioprob.html
Evolution btw does not deny god, it doesn't say anything about god, its only a problem to biblical literalists and inerants. Most christians get on just fine with it.
Einstein did not believe in what you would recognise as a god
firstly I'd like to welcome you Woody to sciforums
I am a Christian. I am a registered engineer by profession and education. I believe that Jesus is resurrected from the dead. If he wasn't then somebody please show us the bones of this dead person. can you show us the bones of your long dead ancestors, you've started you statement with an idiocy.
Anyone that doesn't believe Jesus existed, died on a cross, and was resurrected should read a book by Josh McDowel titled: "Evidence that Demands a Verdict." Josh was an atheist that set out to disprove christianity in his philosophy doctoral thesis.no he's was an apologetic and now has a new gospel of self love/self esteem, he just after your money, he was never an atheist or could have ever been, it dont work that way.(he's not a good example) As Josh said: C S Lewis said in is book mere christianity Jesus was either a liar, a lunatic, or Lord. There really is no debate on the subject of whether he existed or not as a man.proberly not in those books, but there is no prove for a historical jesus, try reading Dr Albert Schweitzer book "The Quest For The Historical Jesus", the most definitive study that's ever been done on the subject, admitted that there isn't a shred of conclusive proof that Christ ever lived, let alone was the son of God. He concludes that one must therefore accept both on faith.
As one of my agnostic engineering co-workers said concerning evolution, even 4 billion years wasn't enough time to evolve man from dirt.so are you still dirt, i'm not
Evolutionists claim that they are the smart ones, and anyone that believes in god is just plain stupid.no there not stupid there just delusional, you can be highly intelligent, but it how you use that intelligence Last time I had my IQ measured it was 136. so your slightly below average, not bad but not something to sing about. Newton, Einstein, Edison, Kelvin, and many other notable scientists believed in a god. Evolution theory was around in their day (except for Newton).
Einstein: bad example was not religious, he was more an agnostic.( a couple of quotes)
Why do you write to me "God should punish the English"? I have no close connection to either one or the other. I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible; in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him.
A religious person is devout in the sense that he has no doubt about the significance of those superpersonal objects and goals which
neither require nor are capable of rational foundation.
neither was edison( a couple of quotes)
Edison investigated the supernatural as he did the natural world and said, "I have
never seen the slightest proof of the religious theories of heaven and hell
My conscience seems to be oblivious of Sundays. It must be encrusted with a sort of irreligious tartar.
and thomson/kelvin another irreligious person.
but you can use newton.

Yes, I can show my family lineage back to the 14th century.
I ask the same question of evolutionists: "Show me the bones of partially formed species -- the evidence should be abundant if evolution is true."

Ans: Josh McDowel answered this argument. By the way when we say "BC" on a calendar -- that supposedly means before christ -- right? Before a fiction -- now isn't that interesting?

Average on an IQ test is 100. Your average college professor scores between 128 and 132 -- wow they must really be dumb on your scale!
As far as Jesus really existing, did his disciples get together and make it all up? How do you know Confucious, Mohammed, Alexander the Great, or anyone else existed if you can't believe eyewitness accounts?

Why would it be? A Christian country basis its calendar on its religion(which may or may not be right) whats interesting about it? Especially since its only the year 1426 in Islamic calendars(and an Islamic year is shorter than a christian one), so they arnt alone in what they've done really, now is that interesting?
