Since this seems to be the place for religious debates, I am curious as to religions.
I don't want a long discussion, just a simple poll, got it? If I haven't what you want to answer, then choose the nearest answer.

I am wondering about the Environmentalist inclusion. I am (according to me diploma at any rate) an Environmental Engineering Technologist - should I be ticking this box
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
First of all, I am in no way a religious person. In spite of that, I am very interested in religions. Some of my friends are believers however, and I happily respect that, as long as they respect my views. The fact that I have friends from a number of different religions have a tendency to spark interesting discussions. We do not always agree, but we know how to disagree in a good natured way.
As for myself, I was born a Christian, but as I already stated I am not a believer. I suppose you could call me a Darwinist of course... Not exactly a religion, but then again, I suppose we all believe in some old thing?

Claes-Everyone believes something. Sounds to me like you are an atheist. You do not believe in any sort of Gods.
Kilted-That is for people who worship the natural world in a manner of speaking. It usually has nothing to do with your profession.
I was wondering, why did you put Christian Science/Morman/Jehovah's Witness all in the same options when they are pretty different from each other. And it's Mormon, not Morman. The real name is actually Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints too, or LDS for short. Mormon's just a nickname.

Not true. Some believe (but not in that sense!) that:Originally Posted by RJbibliophil
"Belief is the death of intelligence" and are continually developing their views.
A Robert Anton Wilson quote by the way. Great ideas.
RAW coined the term 'catma' to describe the 'way' he held his 'beliefs' - as oppose to the outdated 'dogmatic' belief systems held by some people. Although one of the millions of different dogmatic theories could be the one true theory.You might win the infinity lottery! A place in the paradise of your choice!
Yes, I suppose so (I wonder if I annoyed any gods now? ).Originally Posted by RJbibliophil

I love Winnie The Pooh, and I have no embarrasment in saying so, Pooh of course is my favorite character.
A hippy knocks on this young vicars door. He is really upset and crying.Originally Posted by Bandini
The young vicar looks and says. "Why heavens, what on earth is the matter son?"
The hippy sniffled, and blew into his hankerchief, then after he had composed himself, he said sadfully. "I'm really sorry man, but my karma ran over your dogma."
Green Lady, I accidently misspelled Mormon, and the line would have been really long if I put the whole name. I grouped Christian Science, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons together because they all resemble Christianity but are like twisted versions of it. (please note, I am not trying to offend anyone. this is just my view)
Claes, I do not live in Suomi, it is a real nickname for where I live.
Bandini, everyone has a worldview. Everyone believes something is right and something else is wrong. Even if they believe that everything is right, and that some things are wrong is wrong. Claes for example, believes that is no god or gods. This affects what he believes about everything from what the meaning of life is to the nature of human beings, from law and government to history. Some have blury worldviews, because they have not really established it, but everyone believes something. Face the truth. It will catch up with you someday.
The misspelling is understandable. I was just hoping you didn't actually think it was spelled that way. So many people think it is. I wouldn't say twisted though, more like they have different pieces and/or ideas to their religion. Twisted suggests perversion.

contorted? I don't know. From what I know of all three, they are sort of strange, but you have not voted, have you?

Swayzeology transcends all other religions,therefore to categorize it would be blasphemous.
