 I ♥ Dr. Gillian McKeith Member 17, 742 posts SQ 0, BP 180, DL 0180.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | I was brought up as a Christian as my Mum in particular is pretty religious as are all her family. I've never really bought into it though. I asked my Mum the other week if she believed in evolution, her answer was no God made the earth in 7 days etc  So do you believe in God, if yes it would be interesting to hear why? Would the world be a safer place without it? (Not meant to be offensive  ) | ||

 One Sexy MoFo Member 101, 2470 posts | I was born & raised a Catholic. I deliberately rebelled against my dad's strong Catholic wishes by announcing at the age of 11 or 12 that I didn't believe in a god and wasn't going to mass any more. By the time I was 16 and had actually genuinely thought about it, I just couldn't see the possibility for the existence of a god. It's a lovely idea that we all have eternal happiness after this life, but I just don't believe it. If I did, I'd be walking around with a permanent smile on my face, not giving a flying f*ck about anything. Each to their own though. I'm not a fan of extremeists of any religion or extreme aetheists however. I mean, I like what Richard Dawkins has to say, but I wouldn't dedicate so much of my time to it as gods, religions & fairies are so far down my lists of priorities in life. | ||

 still a cock Member 55, 1213 posts SQ 50, BP 25, DL 55130.0 kgs @ 0.1kgs UnEq | Same story here, from a christian family background. Not that I don't or do believe, I'm just too lazy and can't be bothered. | ||

 For Kettle, For Country! Member 81, 1706 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 227.5530.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Originally posted by Boar... I just think religion was invented by people long ago to explain things they didnt understand : rainbows,thunder,life and death That and to control the masses. I was brought up on Sunday school, was confirmed, was even in the fking choir heh. However, throughout all of that I never once believed any of it was real, I mean all standing there praying to whom/what? Come on... So nope, I take a similar position as Richard Dawkins. Although I agree with Titch, he is a little too extreme the other way. No need to go chasing them down and telling them I disagree with them. Live and let live and all that. | ||

 some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | I just think religion was invented by people long ago to explain things they didnt understand : rainbows,thunder,life and death Not for a single second does god exist Thats about the size of it! Techanlly I am Agnostic as you cannot definativly prove that a god or gods do or don't exsist. But in practice I am an athiest (although it looks like I carn't even spell it!) Big fan of Prof Richard Dawkins. | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17896 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | I was brought up a catholic and was literally brainwashed. They tooks handful after handful of religion and rammed it down my throat. At the age of 13 I simply vomited the whole damn lot back up. Best move i ever made, never had occasion to reconsider | ||

 Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | That's certainly testament to the power of fear. Something that religion has used very effectively over the years. If you hadnt guessed, im not a believer. | ||
