    The poll makes no provisions for my beliefs...

    We have a spiritual side but whether there's some sort of heavenly hierarchy is up for debate and smacks of human invention for the purpose of human manipulation.

    It seems to me that to be honest about existance is to be agnostic.Obviously no one knows what comes when we change form.

    The "Who created God?" question kind of only relates to man's limited comprehension of what God is. But God is eternity, itself, as well as creation itself. The physical appears to have been created, but God is not physical.

    I would say that most people who analyzed my beliefs would consider me a Christian, but I myself do not, because that label holds so much hate and injustice, that I don't want to be associated with it.

    I voted "I believe in God but don't have a particular religion", because I do believe in a Supreme Being, or a God, but I refuse to believe that He/She is the "God" that damns all gays to hell, hates Muslims, and/or thinks women have no place in society. I have read the Bible, and have found much of it to be very enlightening, but none of the texts I have really cherished have been from the Old Testament. I'm not saying that it is worthless, but Jesus was extremely radical for his time, and I don't think really regarded the Old Testament with a total and complete reverence and literal standing.

    I guess I'm still searching, and I really doubt I will ever stop. I believe in reincarnation, for sure, so my journey has probably just begun.

    "Who created God?" comes from a mind incapable of thinking beyond the dimensional, tangible concept that characterizes what we as people know. I'm theorizing that such limiting factors are not present in a spiritual dimension.

    My stance on the subject is that no one person is truly qualified to tell anyone else that their beliefs (or lack thereof) are false. Most church based religions basically are harnessing the superstitious nature of the masses for the purpose of financial gain and power.

    Yea I have to agree with you, it's almost entirley true. I dont subscribe to a religion, but I guess Hinduism is what I am most closley related to, being that I use sanskrit words to express that which is without names in English. But even Hinduism has it's elitists and I dont understand God to be of the nature of picking and choosing, being that God is what we all are. At least that's how I feel

    Religion is just silly.

    I'd rather occupy myself with better things... such as chronic masturbation.
