    I'm a Christian, but based on the Christian beliefs I sure wish that Go would do some major Karma on people while they are actually alive in the world. Not just let them run around doing all of this manipulation their whole life and then have to pay back after they are dead.

    Im a christian also but unfortunately most christians have their heads buried in the sand and have become neocons, even going against their religion favoring preemptive first strike. Jesus is probably pulling his hair out at how elitist most right wing christians have become. They are just the opposite of the extremist muslims like bin laden.

    It will surely change as there are lot of votes to come in. As of now the standings are

    Pegan 2 1.46%
    Agnostic 25 18.25%
    Atheist 47 34.31%
    Christian 24 17.52%
    Buddhist 1 0.73%
    Jewish 4 2.92%
    Taoist 0 0%
    Muslim 23 16.79%
    Hindu 8 5.84%
    Other 3 2.19%

    Still the Atheist dominate with 34% but seems that they have just gained 3 votes from there previous position while biggest gainers are Agnostic and Christian. I am a Christan and I love this religion. I also love people from all religion. In my opinion there is no need for such a poll. If this is just for fun I think all can just take part in the poll. :):D

    No, it doesn't. Mostly greedy people are rich, bully's are tough, rude people hurt Others, and hot women get what they want

    I think that for most people Christianity comes second, but people take care of themselves first. I've noticed that the majority of Christains suffer from two negative personalities more than athiests do. Favortism & Manipulation.

    To say they're rich and think there could be nothing negative of them is to believe, yourself, that being rich means being whole. Or being tough or rude or hurting. These behaviors actually show the person is not at peace with themselves. Look at Hollywood, do you see how miserable some of them are? They can barely stand themselves.

    Forgive them because in the end they will find how much they've hurt themselves. We all hurt ourselves. Our knowledge of this life is like our previous knowledge of trees in a forest.. we see only what's sprung from the surface but you can't tell there's practically a tree underneath the surface too. In other words, this life isn't it. Don't worry about the status of others now, they're on their own path and you're on yours.

    That's how I see it anyhow. You probably don't believe it, but why not entertain the thought.

    Atheism is not a religion, it is an ideology. Atheists are people who do not believe in existence of God, or any higher power. They don't believe in fairy tales. They prefer logic over blind faith.

    For more info read: Atheism

    Its true that nothing is perfect but although its hard to believe by movie stars, getting kicked in the head is worse than kicking, driving to your fun career is better than car pooling with a slob to your assembly line plant job, and being judged unfair because of your outragously good looks is better than being judged unfairly because of your mirror breaking mugshot.
    Its obvious that winning is better than losing. I know a lot of, looks to be, better of people talk about how its worse. I believe they say that only to thought to have been "carried though life" and what not.
    Realistically having what you want generally offers you more inner security and happiness then not. Agreed?

    This is where I can't get through. There is too many and it doesn't matter because in a year there will be 200 more to forgive. I find that its much easier to forgive when the other person knows what they did and backs it up, gives back, or evens the score. Besides. Its not right to forgive people who think they are right.

    In depth people say all this jumbo-mumbo stuff but really an Atheist is just someone randomly walking around with absolutely no option on religion. Either they thinks its a joke or never heard of it before.

    I didn't mean Mumbo Jumbo as confusion, I meant technical definition.

    Disagree. It's better to be meek early in this world, it's better to walk with humility than walk with a swagger. Because ego is temporary, it's like a sugar high, we all come down off of it sometime.. it's just a matter of when. And the higher you are, the harder you'll fall. The people who have it all are most susceptible to an inflated ego, and therefore a harder fall.



    Forgiveness is for the benefit of the forgiver, not the forgiven.
