I believe that when you die you are gone forever. I still do the whole 'treat others as you want to be treated' thing though because its nice to be nice.

I can't help but think religious people are like kids believing in santa, especially in this day and age but I'm not going to try convert them to my way of thinking because that's ignorant.

Funny enough but I have said similar in the past. At school anyone over the age of say 10 or so that believes in Santa is laughed at. Yet a high percentage of adults believe in something equally invisible.

I'm not havin a go at religious people btw. Each to their own and all that. As long as they don't shove it down other peoples' throat then I don't care.

I agree re when you die you are gone forever. (Imo of course) However I pray I'm wrong. ;-)

Out of interest, what do you believe in? Puns and lyrics aside.

As I said Im more spiritual than religious. I think we are all capable of controlling our destinations as the human mind is a force that we've only tapped a bit into. Is God a big man in the sky with a white beard? No. Is there a God in the guiding spiritual sense? Yes.

I don't now whether there are g/Gods or not. I believe in the incomprehensible universe and love. I also believe in right decisions and I feel good when I choose good.

I overheard a statement recently that sums up things for me: "Im more spiritual than religious", meaning I dont have to go to mass weekly to affirm that there is something there.

Wouldn't say being more spiritual than religious is an excuse that means you dont have to adhire to religious norms. Spiritual can mean a path in life for people, a certain way of living or natural drive they have without any religious or God association at all, or affirmation that there is something there.. yolo

My serious answer is that I don't believe there's any rhyme or reason as to why we're here. We're just here, and once we're gone, we're gone.

However, and this may sound strange given I don't believe in a higher power, I do believe in karma. I know it's not always the case, but I believe that if you're good to people they'll ultimately be good to you.

Ahh nuts, it's basically Tesco's by-line for their adverts, I think it's Marty Whelan does the voice-over:

"Our chickens are down to half price, our so and so is down to half price, and once they're gone, they're gone"...

Totally ripped the arse out of that joke having to explain it

I believe whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stranger.

This is the big problem I have with people who say they don't believe that there is an ultimate reason why we're here, or that there's nothing beyond our ability to know:

Who can honestly believe this bull**** idea that people are good? Anyone over the age of 10 knows it to be totally untrue.

The idea of god is there to hide the fact that we are sacks of meat, disposable animals, held up by bones.

I wanna believe there is something more, but even if there is something responsible for all this(which I believe there is) it doesn't mean we're immortal.

Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fibre, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

Why do you want to believe there is more?

Nah, I believe the majority of people are good tbh. Sure, we all have instincts as animals that will override what we think we should do in a situation for self-preservation/matings sake, but in general I think most people are good.
