Your Religious Beliefs?

**Marie Louise von Preussen** · February 12, 2006, 12:59 PM

Vote and discuss freely. I'm personally an Atheist and since a young age I don't feel any inclination for religion. What about you?

**Farnan** · February 12, 2006, 01:01 PM

I am a non-denominational Protesant Christian. I believe many of the churches incorrectly interpret scripture, and I am against religous teachers needing a college degree and approval from higher ups. I have nothing against organised religion, but I don't really belong to it.

I'm an anti-organisation atheist.

Protestant Christian. And one who believes that most modern day churches need to start preaching the gospels and stop with the Political talk.

I'm actually very interested in this, especially since Armenia was the first Christian nation.

How similar are our beliefs? Like what do you guys believe you must do to go to heaven, about the creation of the world, the role of Old Testament prophets and Jesus himself?

Compared to what? Yes, we do believe in the Old Testament and the creation and the bible and all that stuff, but the key difference between Roman Catholics and Oriental Orthodox is that OOs believe that Jesus is one being......well, something like that. I'll get back to you on that.

Edit: here is some on Oriental Orthodoxy in general

Christian (but only in the loosest sense)

**Lusted** · February 12, 2006, 01:05 PM

Athiest through and through. Was bought up outside religion, and after looking at them i find them all a bit silly.

In my opinion Teachers (pastors and priests) don't get their authority from God anymore but from man. If they were given their authority by God they don't need a degree and approval from a man all they need is clarity and knowledge from God about the scriptures.

I'd much rather have a coal miner who called to preach and started preaching, then a man who decided to become a pastor and got a degree in Theology from Harvard...
