Thread: What are your beliefs?

  1. #1

    Default What are your beliefs?

    So I read somewhere about someone who actually follows the Jedi religion. Now I ask you how could this be? Jedi believe that medicloreans, life forms, give them there powers and manipulate the universe(?) wouldn't we have found them by now?

    But my real question of you all is what do you believe? Are you christian? Muslim? Pagan? or your own beliefs?

    I personally have my own beliefs. I believe there are spirits and entities, like demons, I also believe that a persons spirit grows and matures. It gains knowledge and experience through each life time, yes I believe in reincarnation, and as the spirit increases in age it become more and more powerful. eventual a spirit become so powerful it no longer needs a body. a spirit can 'pre-maturely' move to this phase but may be stuck as a ghost.
    As a person's spirit gets close to this phase they begin to show signs...similar to that of a Jedi. there very from person to person and an spirits actual strength. the powers or gifts range from telepathy, precognition, above average reflexes, sensitivity to other spirits and supernatural occurrences.

    Well, i'm an old school fan, so I believe in Han shooting first and point blank refuse to accept Midi-Chlorians.

    This is going to be a messy thread, so please people remember:

    EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR BELIEFS!

    Now, for mine.
    I believe in ghosts, spirits, whatever you wanna call them, but generally not mediums, as many are simple showmen. My great-grandparents were spiritual healers, and some form of this ability manifests itself in most people on my mothers' side in one way or another.
    Also, crystals and stones in healing, but again, those that boast about their ability, as mediums, Reikist etc do, I loath...

    I can't fall under any religions' categorisation, as I personally can't see how literature written that long ago can have lasted that long and remained impartial.
    So I guess I have to tick the atheist box.

    I am a Christian and belong to a non-denominational Church. We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit did not die out with the Apostles and are still around today. We believe in speaking in tongues, anointing with oil, healing by laying on of hands and we are a Church that believes strictly in the Bible. We also believe it is not about religion but your relationship with Jesus Christ. I have personally been healed of shoulder pain that doctors said I would have the rest of my life. Well, that is what I believe and look forward to hearing from others as to their beliefs.

    I don't have any beliefs. I see nothing wrong with the values that the religious texts uphold. I do however dislike how commercial some groups have become.

    I believe that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no one gets to heaven except by the belief that he died and rose again and commits their life to him.

    I believe that life forms bigger than us are looking at our galaxy the same way that we look at micro organisms. It's just that somewhere along the line we became self aware and got bored.

    I believe that it's generally a bad idea to ask what other people's beliefs are on a public forum. The truth is that most people lose respect for others when they hear what they believe in. Everyone believes that their own beliefs are correct, otherwise they wouldn't believe them. If an individual's beliefs are correct, then any other beliefs must be wrong. Soon people will ask themselves "how can others actually believe these silly things?" As soon as that happens, assumptions about intelligence and morality are made and respect is lost. I know a lot of you are going to tell me that this isn't true, that you are somehow above making such judgments. Save it. I won't believe you. You will either be lying to me or lying to yourself.

    Besides Cipher, what possible business is it of yours what anyone else here believes?
