Just because someone claims to follow every religion does not mean that he/she is "bad." You can say they are misguided.
Only those people who kill others in the name of religion only fit my description of "evil". Whatever people claim, whatever they preach, whatever they follow is completely up to them as long as they don't hurt anyone.

Now guys, this thread is about "what is your religion", not which is right and which is not right. So please stick to the topic ;) When talking about religions, we could talk and talk for 1000 pages and there will still be no conclusion that satisfies every body. Religion is, after all, one of the sensitive issues.

You misunderstand let me rephrase, there are bad people in all religions. What im trying to say is youll find bad people no matter which religion you look at.

There's no actual way to check whether a girl is, either. Unfortunately, many people think there is.

By lie detector, do you mean the heavily flawed polygraph?

My faith is none of your damn business. :) Then again, I find it a more personal question than most.

Atheist, but in the way that I don't really care what your beliefs are as long as you afford me the same favor. (And, you know, assuming your beliefs don't involve eating babies or some such.)

In response to the original post, I am a Christian. To be specific, I'm a devout and unapologetic Roman Catholic. :)

I'm a Catholic, but not that devoted. I believe in God's word but with more open-mindedness. I've always viewed my God is the same as the rest of the higher beings from different religions. I believe they're all the same and wishes for us to live a principled life. Of course, that's just my opinion. I just pay respect to other people's religions and not force them into my faith.

I'm agnostic, but I do have a spiritual side and try to follow the Buddhist mental philosophies as best I can, technically it's not a religion though.

Although, I was raised in a Roman Catholic family, was forced to attend Sunday school for years, went to a strict Catholic school... So I did come from a heavily religious background. (My parents being a mix of Italian, Dutch and Maltese).

I believe in a higher power who may or may not be 'God', however, I am very opposed to the idea of organized religions.
The last time I went to church, it was Baptist and I was around eight years old. The church was money obsessed and that gave me a negative opinion of churches, so by the time I was twelve, I started to form my own beliefs. I've never really wanted to associate myself with any certain religious affiliation, though. I've been told that my beliefs fall into the realm of 'agnostic theism', but I don't have the need to label myself as such... I just believe in what I believe: there is a higher power which I know nothing about, other than that it is my creator.
When I try to explain my beliefs to people I typically get confused looks, but hey, it makes sense to me. It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else. ^_^;

Not all churches are like that. There are some churches that help people when they are in need. So, just because one or two churches are corrupt, it does not mean that Christianity is a "bad" religion. Nor does not it mean that Jesus Christ was a "bad" person. So, don't judge religions like that.

Please point out exactly where I said Christianity and Jesus were bad.
I don't think you can, considering I never even mentioned those two words, lol.
I had a bad experience with churches and therefor I am entitled to my opinion on them.
So please, don't put words in my mouth. Thank you. :)
