I am not opposed to any particular culture or anybody's personal beliefs. Who am I to be so arrogant as to tell you that you are wrong. So, on the other hand who are you to tell me I'm wrong ? I believe in freedom of choice, for all. A person should be free to live and believe as he wishes, with some limitations of course : )

I like to know what others are thinking. I may not always agree, however, I appreciate the ideas and opinions of others, especially when their's differs from mine.  So, believe as you wish, just don't jam it down my throat.

I have learned to seek happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them, Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have.

I believe in logic.

I have strong moral values and seek to do good.

I am inspired by the immeasurability and awesome beauty of the universe.

I do not believe in a personal God who is the creator of the universe and the judge of humans.

I believe that humans are a part of nature, not set above it

The idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I am unable to take seriously.

I believe our earth was created from the universe and will one day be reabsorbed back into the universe.

I believe that God and the Universe are the same.

My religion consists of a humble admiration for the illimitable superior spirit that reveals itself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. What I cannot understand is how there could possibly be a God who would reward or punish his subjects or who could induce us to develop our will in our daily life. I cannot then believe in this concept of an anthropomorphic God who has the powers of interfering with these natural laws. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment or hope of reward after death. > Albert Einstein

I do not believe in "SATAN" or "THE DEVIL"

The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary, Men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.

I can't say for certain if GOD really exists, however, I believe it would be better for his reputation if he didn't.

I believe Heaven and Hell are both a state of mind,,,  rather than a physical place.

Maybe this world is another planet's Hell ?? or Heaven ?? Who Knows ??

I've never understood how God could expect his creatures to pick the one true religion by faith,,, it strikes me as a sloppy way to run a universe.

I believe that if God was real there would be no evil. Evil exists because it was either willed by God or it was beyond his powers to prevent it. I cannot bring myself to fear/worship a God who is either spiteful or weak. To believe that this world was created by God makes no sense to me at all. If so, God commits great sin himself in allowing the abuse and brutal murder of the innocent children whom he himself so created. God says do what you wish, but make the wrong choice and you will be tortured for eternity in hell. That is not free will.  I believe in a God, only I call him Nature.

Just some of my beliefs, I'm not pushing them on anyone.

I believe in Free Will for everyone.

I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of his children for their numerous stupidities, for which only he Himself can be held responsible, only His nonexistence could excuse Him. -- Albert Einstein

Why does a woman work for ten years to change a man's habit and then complain that he is not the man she married ?

Reality is an interpretation of perception, Perception is in the eye of the perceiver, We don't see things as they are, We see things as we are. The world we live in is created by our mind.

My granny said sonny, stick to your guns if you believe in something no matter what, cause it's better to be hated for who you are, than be loved for who your not.

I really appreciate honesty, I am very honest in the comments I post here. I would much rather offend someone with honesty, than snowball them with lies.
