Who or What is Your God?

[WODIN]

And Wodin, that may be the standard sociological definition of religion but not that of atheism or agnosticism. Therefore your point is moot.

Your argument is superflous, this definition was developed to encompass the "Faiths" of Agnosticism and Atheism. For it requires just as much to not believe as it does to belive. Look at the fervent behavoir on both sides of the coin and you see similar behavoirs!

Grey Aliens and Christina Aguilera.

My religion is having sex with cute petite girls with tight pussies.

My god is Winona Ryder because she has to be the hottest piece of cute and petite pussy on this planet.

 

[WODIN]

So far I see worship of Greed, Lust and Man.... what no Envy, Sloth, Averice, Pride or Arrogance. Afterall there are really only so many "true things" you can worship...you all are mearly expressing the manifestations of your worship.

I believe is a supreme power who rules, call him GOD or Budda of ALA

 

[Latimer]

When I die, I must go before Crom, and he will ask me, what is the riddle of steel? And if I do not know it, he will cast me out of Vahalla and laugh at me. That's Crom. Strong on his mountain.

 

[Latimer]

Crom! I've never prayed to you before, I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you will remember if we were good men or bad, why we fought, or why we died. No. What's important, is that two stood against many. That's what is important! Battle pleases you lord Crom, so I ask you to grant me one request, grant me REVENGE! And if you do not listen, then the hell with you!

wodin, personally i believe that putting faith in something means to believe or accept without knowing.
that in itself seems like a stretch when used with anything aside from love and relationships... (here you may counter with relationship to a god).

as for the mention of greed and arrogance (especially the latter) just look at your peers who honor the all mighty all powerful god... the arrogance is overwhelming.

as for your definition of religion.. i believe it is faulty because not even a third of the "christians" or "faith havers" practice on a daily basis unless practicing encompasses general human morality and ethics... then 90% of the population can claim their religion as human decency and morality.

re·li·gion (r-ljn)
n.

Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.


A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
The life or condition of a person in a religious order.

A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.

A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.


the final definition seems to be the one you are using... when most think of religion they automatically associate it with a spiritual belief... i do not like the final definition of religion (its far too broad).. reason being is that so many people battle or strive for something or other in a non faithful way... non spiritual as well... its just a "want" or an "end"...
