Guest Rabbit Posted August 22, 2005 I believe the proper term is theist. Which means...? Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted August 22, 2005 Refering from some random location Theism is the belief in one or more gods or goddesses. More specifically, it may also mean the belief in God, a god, or gods, who is/are actively involved in maintaining the Universe. This secondary meaning is shown in context to other beliefs concerning the divine below. Share this post Link to post
Scorpio XIII 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Polytheistic = worships multiple gods Monotheistic = worships one god Share this post Link to post
Guest Rabbit Posted August 22, 2005 Well, I am monotheistic then... Well, thanks for helping me clear that up! Share this post Link to post
Scorpio XIII 0 Posted August 22, 2005 im supposed to be christian but I like to worship Egyptian gods..... Share this post Link to post
J-Fire_Man 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Worshipping Egyptian gods, now this is an itneresting thing :shock: So, you're one of those people who still worship gods like Ra, Osiris, Isis, Bast, Seth, etc. There are hundreds of them in Egyptian mythology. Pretty interesting, I love egyptian mythology and culture, but I don't worship their gods. Share this post Link to post
Waraddict 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Hypnotist, did you never do Religious Studies at school? This would be where you explore every religion in some detail, that would of given the best ideal into what would suit you best. 'the one that suits you best' is not a proper way to pick a religion.

Saracen 16 Posted August 23, 2005 I meant that in terms of research if you are unsure of which religion to follow if someone so chooses. I didn't mean in in a frame of mine as to say "yeah, that religion looks good, I'll go for that one. It's suprising that some people can go all their lives before pursuing a faith... It's also suprising that some people think that you have to choose a religion the moment you understand what it is... But saying that a lot of people who are religious are thrust and forced into their beliefs by the family they are brought up in... a shame really, we should all choose our own way of living.

Acerz492 1 Posted August 24, 2005 a shame really, we should all choose our own way of living Yes, we should. If it's one thing I hate, it's when people look down upon you because you -choose- to be an athiest and not believe in a God or any gods. It's a friggin' choice! Not a life service!! R.E. (religious education for all you not in the know) has been a part of my life ever since I started school. Am I affected by it? Not really. It's actually unfair in that, during high school, we had to work harder because R.E. was being taught when we could've been learning more important things, that would actually -help- us when we got out of school. There should be a class teaching people how to play CnC games... :wink: Share this post Link to post

Luk3us 63 Posted August 24, 2005 No I didn't actually... Why would you want to learn about religion for in the first place? Share this post Link to post
Acerz492 1 Posted August 24, 2005 I dunno. It wasn't my choice. If you go to a catholic school it's cumpulsary to learn R.E. Not that it made much difference. :roll: :lol: Only time I ever payed attention was whenever the fundamentalist crackpot of a teacher said something completely untrue ("Dinosaurs never ever existed!" was one of the many shining moments of school life last year..).. :lol: Share this post Link to post

Waraddict 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Oh. You didn't mention that.... So... Did you have fun with the "fathers".. muahah. hahahahh Oh its funny... Catholic schools.... Unless you've actually gone to a Catholic School you haven't got a bloody clue. In my school for instance we had the exact opposite of fundamentalism, we had idiots in our R.E. class believing in reincarnation but still called themselves Catholic. Oh and our Relgion teacher wasn't a priest. Some teachers though were priests, quite a few in the science subjects, and they did NOT ignorantly dismiss facts. Share this post Link to post

Guest Rabbit Posted August 25, 2005 Haha. Wow... Yeah... well, my friend went to a catholic summer camp. Does that count? He made it sound so horrible... saying there was a sermin twice a day every day for like an hour, and then 3 on sundays.... man, I would not like that... Share this post Link to post

Cygnus X-1 12 Posted September 1, 2005 Guess what y'all. Luk3us, you better start runnning...... BWare is back !! He may not have posted yet, but..... prepare for the read of your life (and it mught take that long too) R.E.-While you may or may not like religious education, there is opne main thing in it that public schools dont teach. Morality. I cant even begin to talk abotu how soo many public school kids and people (teachers included) are total assfarts becasue they never learned right from wrong. Its astonishing when you think about it. @ Luk3us and CO.-No slamming Catholic priests for their "misaddventures" its scarcely .01% of all preiests that have certain issues, so taking one or two highlighted incidents and using them s a stereotype for Cathloci priests is wrong, I dont care what religion you arent part of, it is wrong.
