Regardless of my religion, I do believe a higher power exists.

That higher power is a being of infinite dimension, of whom all other dimensional universes and their denizens are projected from.

That being is what space and time were derived from, so it existed outside any timeline and any point of space. It's everywhere at anytime and that being is the same everywhere, anytime.

Just like our shadow cannot do whatever we don't want it to do, we, our universe, the whole reality that is the shadow of its will cannot stray from how it want them to be.

I find that this definition of God is compatible to most monotheistic religion on earth. It even somehow satisfies the science point of view to me.

not sure what this falls under, but I believe in an omnipotent entity that created the universe with laws to govern it but nothing beyond. He created the laws of physics and the laws of physics eventually got the universe to where it is now.

I think all the organized religions out there are spewing Fear or eternal punishment, Uncertainty of what happens after death/etc, and Doubt to scientific explanations of the uncertain. FUD.

But to say something, humans seek a being that is superior when they are in a state of depression, that is why they are probably fanatics. Their chance of luck came upon them at that one time they prayed for that higher being, making them think it was "its" work.

Im pretty sure he said that whether or not you believe in God depends of your viewpoint and its neither right nor wrong.

Thanks for the summary Hooves Its interesting what he said about killers/murders having their 'own world' so to speak, it seems to make sense, a lot of murderers seem to show no remorse and feel they are completely justified in their actions. but why is it just murderers that have their 'own world'? there are plenty of other ways to break the law and maintain that you are justified, and also most people have their 'own world' or view on what they think is right and wrong, which is just peoples view on morality i guess.

I personally don't believe in any gods, but I don't believe in Atheism either, I'm just happy knowing the fact I'm perfectly fine not believing anything, it also allows me to feel fine if people do think there is some kind of god up wherever there may be.

My main view of religion now is especially Christianity is so skewed as nobody even has the origional texts anymore, so I see Christianity as almost censored as a Religion as when the scribes were translating the bible down through the ages, they more than likely chopped stuff out or changed stuff or maybe even mistranslated. There's no proof either way so I don't mind people being that religion, I just don't believe in it myself.

Extremism in Religion is an awful, awful thing. They're taking the texts that are supposed to help people and bending them to make it seem like what they are doing is correct. Overall though I see religion as a man made thing which was created to ease the pressure on people giving them something to believe in, or used to scare monger by the various churches to get people to bend to their will.

People are allowed to believe what they want to believe, I just prefer not to believe in anything.

EDIT: Can I ask a question to any Catholics? (at least I think it's Catholocism that practices this). Why, if god is supposed to be everywhere and can see anything, must you get married in a Church? I've never understood that.

Marriages are held in a church to assure rightful human witnesses. Because a marriage without rightful witnesses is just the same as a one night stand you can get anywhere.

Arnt marriages being held at churches more of a "Common Human Knowledge" then something from a religion? I mean doesnt the majority of religions and even Atheist do this?

I think they probably started off in the church or some form of communal gathering and its just turned into a tradition now, regardless of your religion.

Ummm (Doesn't completley understand whats going on)
People marry in churches because of tradition right?
But when it comes to religion you are getting married under Gods eyes so you "can't" divorce or you its a sin think I am correct right there as said "Till death do us apart"
