How can you play SEIV and deny the existence of God, who makes the talisman NEVER miss? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Truly, your cities shall burn with vengeful fire!

Re: OT: What\'s your religeon?
 

I don’t believe we are having this discussion!!!

See Last Tuesday God got feed up with us and destroyed everything. Then, two weeks later he has a change of mind and recreates everything as it would have been if he had never destroyed us in the first place. (Including the missing two weeks.)

So, in reality we are not having this conversation.


It could happen; the power of creation implies the power of destruction and recreation.



BTW: agnostic

Re: OT: What\'s your religeon?
 

However, it is not unreasonable to assume:

A) You exist.

B) Everyone else also exists.

C) Your memories (especially recent ones) are valid.

For example, I remember that I'm supposed to go to a meeting now. Since I exist, and the people at the meeting exist, I'd better get going, since I remember that they will be displeased if I am late.

Now, it may turn out that my car has been replaced with a wedding cake, and when I get to the place of the meeting I realize that I am the only person in the world. I may even realize that I am but a dream of the of the aforementioned wedding cake. Nonetheless, skipping the meeting for fear of yeilding my existance to a cake would be a poor excuse. Ergo, it is best to assume A,B, and C.

Evangelical Christian. Big surprise, huh? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

A (very) short synopsis of my beliefs, for those who are interested:
Not quite as open-minded as Starhawk, but he makes some good points. On the one hand, Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." That's pretty exclusive, and so it motivates me to try to convince others to become Christians, with no apologies. But Jesus also told the parable (prophecy?) of the sheep and the goats, where people are separated at the end of time for either eternal punishment or eternal reward, and the sole criterion is whether or not they ministered to the needs of people around them. That's pretty inclusive. It makes me remember that I'm not going to be the one in charge on Judgment Day, and I'm not in charge of others, but I am in charge of what I do now with what I've been given, and I will be held accountable. Lastly, the Bible teaches that all are saved by grace not works. That's a good thing because, although I look pretty holy compared to some jerks I know, compared to what I know I ought to be and could be I am pretty slimey.
Anyway, if you've gotten this far, thanks for listening. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

That is indeed an interesting observation. I find it interesting for the same reason as Kevin...

Re: OT: What\'s your religeon?
 

Lutheran. (ELCA, for those who think it matters.)

Re: OT: What\'s your religeon?
 

Christian; Protestant; apparently Pentecostal.

Re: OT: What\'s your religeon?
 

Catholic here too

Re: OT: What\'s your religeon?
 

I used to be one of them. I was raised in the religion, and left it shortly before I turned 17. I now officially have no religion.
