<p>Sometimes it feels like this entire site is non-believers :p So no matter what your religion, if you believe come!</p>
<p>I believe there is a higher being. I cant believe non-believers actually exist.</p>
<p>yay! Someone else out there! Go US! :cool:</p>
<p>i believe in a higher being. i dont see any other way</p>
<p>I don't NOT beleive in a higher being (I'm agnostic), if that counts.</p>
<p>(And that's weird; to me, CC seems like it's made up of those darned conservative christian fundamentalists.)</p>
<p>I believe in one, that I do.</p>

Unless you are joking, I do not know where this comment is coming from. This board leans pretty far left.</p>
<p>As of now, I am agnostic. I somewhat believe in a higher power, but I have never really been to Church. But I am going to a Catholic high school and I'll have to take religion, so we'll see. I am definitely liberal though.</p>
<p>Just because one is catholic doesnt mean that person is conservative, just clearing some confusion ;)</p>

Awesome, so am I.</p>
<p>yea i realize that not all Christians are conservative. But as a liberal, I am pro-choice, for gay marriage, for embryonic stem cell research, and this seems to go against a lot of Christians beliefs, so what I wonder is, can I be both, and can faith not interfere with political beliefs?</p>
<p>yes ma'am, it makes you feel much better, happier, calmer about life and it's ups and downs</p>
<p>Yes, beleiving in some sort of higher being would make one feel "better, happier, and calmer about life." But I'm afraid that does not attest to whether it's true. I'll take truth over happiness, if it comes to that.</p>
<p>The greatest of truths comes from common sense ;)</p>
<p>Hm.... That's a nice-sounding phrase, but I'm not sure it's true.</p>
<p>Look at, say, relativity. What common sense is there in time being relative? </p>
<p>Or the earth being round? I look around, and it looks flat enough to me.</p>
<p>Or atoms being the building blocks of matter? Maybe they just didn't use a sharp enough knife.</p>
<p>Or...
Never mind. You get my drift.</p>
<p>I'm Catholic, but I'm not so sure I believe in every little thing I've been taught...I do believe in a higher order or power or existence at the very least. </p>
<p>My faith in a higher _____ doesn't interfere with my political ideology...I'm pro-life, I support gay marriage, and I'm not opposed to the death penalty or stem cell research.</p>
<p>that's sad jerzak.. not everything will be the hard-core truth .. that's like, lets say ur dad left your family when u were young, and your mom said 'everything will be all right' to make u feel better, maybe more safe, and it may have not been the hard-core truth, maybe things weren't going to be all right, but it gets you through, that's what faith is about. to give you that motivation. it may not be true to you, but its true to others, some people may have killed themselves by now if it wasnt for their faith to keep em going. u know, it's good to feel happy now, life is honestly too short, look at katrina, look at the tsunami, people are losing their families every day .. have you seen that picture that is circulating around, it was on cnn.com, now it's on msn. com, 'Here Lies Vera, GOD HELP US' .. whoever wrote that still has some faith, although they lost everything, and that's encouraging.. don't u think?</p>
<p>That makes faith a phycological defense mechanism? I'll admit that the hard-core truth isn't for everyone, but for me, it's preferable. </p>
<p>And who knows? The truth may not preclude some kind of supernatural power. But, until I'm given reason to so beleive, I'll refrain from judgement.</p>
