<p>Sometimes it feels like this entire site is non-believers 
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! 
</p>
<p>i believe in a higher being. i dont see any other way</p>
<p>I donāt NOT beleive in a higher being (Iām agnostic), if that counts.</p>
<p>(And thatās weird; to me, CC seems like itās made up of those darned conservative christian fundamentalists.)</p>
<p>I believe in one, that I do.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Iām Muslim.</p>
<p>Iām HIndu.</p>
<p>But I can believe that non-believers exist.</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 Iāll have to take religion, so weāll see. I am definitely liberal though.</p>
<p>Just because one is catholic doesnt mean that person is conservative, just clearing some confusion ;)</p>
<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 maāam, it makes you feel much better, happier, calmer about life and itās ups and downs</p>
<p>Yes, beleiving in some sort of higher being would make one feel ābetter, happier, and calmer about life.ā But Iām afraid that does not attest to whether itās true. Iāll take truth over happiness, if it comes to that.</p>
<p>The greatest of truths comes from common sense ;)</p>
<p>Hmā¦ Thatās a nice-sounding phrase, but Iām not sure itās 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 didnāt use a sharp enough knife.</p>
<p>Orā¦
Never mind. You get my drift.</p>
<p>Iām Catholic, but Iām not so sure I believe in every little thing Iāve been taughtā¦I do believe in a higher order or power or existence at the very least. </p>
<p>My faith in a higher _____ doesnāt interfere with my political ideologyā¦Iām pro-life, I support gay marriage, and Iām not opposed to the death penalty or stem cell research.</p>
<p>thatās sad jerzakā¦ not everything will be the hard-core truth ā¦ thatās like, lets say ur dad left your family when u were young, and your mom said āeverything will be all rightā to make u feel better, maybe more safe, and it may have not been the hard-core truth, maybe things werenāt going to be all right, but it gets you through, thatās 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, itās good to feel happy now, life is honestly too short, look at katrina, look at the tsunami, people are losing their families every day ā¦ have you seen that picture that is circulating around, it was on cnn.com, now itās on msn. com, āHere Lies Vera, GOD HELP USā ā¦ whoever wrote that still has some faith, although they lost everything, and thatās encouragingā¦ donāt u think?</p>
<p>That makes faith a phycological defense mechanism? Iāll admit that the hard-core truth isnāt for everyone, but for me, itās preferable. </p>
<p>And who knows? The truth may not preclude some kind of supernatural power. But, until Iām given reason to so beleive, Iāll refrain from judgement.</p>
