yes this is the most common subject for serious chats. now before we get into detail I am going to set some rules for this subject. 1) NO trying to get other people to share your beliefs 2) no bashing people because of their belieifs 3) follow all forum rules 4) be civilized and respectful. and please NO SPAM IN THIS TOPIC!!!!! our clean up lady will be watching now to start this off. I am agnostic. I am not sure which kind of agnostic as of yet but i am not sure if there is a god or not. i do believe however, that there is a higher being amoung us. I also look at the bible as a novel that was taklen too literally. but that doesn't mean there is no god. there might be but who knows? With so many religions it is hard to desicde what you believe and what you SHOULD believe. I can't answer any of those questions personally. Now what do you guys think?

Well I'm Byzantine Catholic. I find nothing wrong with me being Catholic and I'm proud of it. ^^
And yes, I do believe there is a God. We're all of God's children sent by him. We're all of different ranks. I do ponder where I would go when I die. To live among the stars in Heaven and see the people I once knew before in my life.

For one. God couldn't be gay, he can't be straight. A gender would mean he has reproductive organs. Reproductive organs means he can have sex and have offspring. Which is impossible because he has no one to naturally reproduce with (as in another God, and before you use the point he impregnated Mary, remember she was born a virgin, so God didn't do it sexually, also if he had sexual organs, naturally it wouldn't be to use it on humans, for that was would beastiality, same thing if you screwed a donkey, it wasn't meant like that naturally) If this God exists, I believe he's naturally asexual but can be what he want, because it's well "God" and they say He because I think he was made by sexist men. When it comesright down to it, this complete contradiction on nature proves your God is imaginary.
Also.your God is horribly sexist. Which proves further it isn't female.
"As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church." -1 Corinthians chapter 14
"But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head--it is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil. For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. (For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.) That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels." -1 Corinthians 11
"Also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly attire but by good deeds, as befits women who profess religion. Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent. " -1 Timothy chapter 2
"This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you." -Genesis chapter 17 (realise no such covenant exists for women)
In John 20:17 Jesus says to Mary: "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father," as though the touch of a woman is somehow improper, but a few verses later, is happy to have Thomas touch him.
In Matthew 25:1 Jesus says: "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom."
In Genesis chapter 3, God punishes Eve, and all women for thousands of years, with greatly increased pain during childbirth. No such pain is inflicted on Adam even if he too ate the apple knowing it ewas forbidden.
In Ephesians 5:22-24 we find this: "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything."
In 1 Peter 3:7 we find: "Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers."
In 1 John 2:13, John says, "I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father." No mention is made of women.
And so on. There are many, many examples like these throughout the old and new testaments. You notice your God doesn't love everyone. He wants nothing to do with females it seems.
EDIT: Vampire King, what in the world are you talking about now?

Mind you, I have nothing against black people myself, I consider us equal...
A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession." Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said. He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs." -Matthew 15:22-26
According to that quote, you are not equal in Jesus' eyes. Jesus turned the woman away for she was black, he would not bless "his childrens' dogs". Remember Jesus = God = Perfect. Apparently you are inferior, of course, racism is a horrible thing, and no truly perfect God would treat His/It's people so poorly and unjustly, so slanted. So one can assume God is imaginary.

O_O Well I'm not sure now what I meant "different ranks"...(Sorry people I was blocked from this and couldn't get back on and now I have...) Please don't be upset at me. ;_; And to who said that, God cannot be gay and by different ranks by black, gay, straight, no that is not what I meant and for the fact that I haven't been on this in weeks, I don't remember what I meant...But does anyone believe here that God sent all fo us on a mission to Earth to accomplish something?
