Okay, I don't have enough attention span to type as much as other people have, but I'll try.

I hope that there is a god, but I don't think it is very likely. If there IS a god, then I think that he resembles more the Deists' view of god than the Theists'; He was the First Cause, that created the universe, but takes little or no part in the events of today. If god pi[did[/i] take part in day-to-day activities, a lot less shit would happen. Unless, of course, god's a Sadist.

So basically, I don't believe in God. I feel no need to believe in God, as Science, although it cannot explain everything, can explain enough to live by. Anyone who disagrees with evolution, by the way, is Strong-Willed but Stubborn and Blinkered. I respect you for your views, but i disagree strongly with them.

I DO, however, believe in an afterlife. I am not sure what form it will take [Heaven/Reincarnation], but i am sure that it exists. I think that Reincarnation is most likely.

I respect all people for their beliefs, whatever they are. In my view, the purpose of Religion is not to be Right, but to cause people to treat each other better. For this reason, I despair when i hear of so-called 'Holy' Wars, Crusades, and things like that. For that reason, i believe that Buddhism is the best religion, as it preaches peace, harmony, and good will to all creatures.

If I were to say which religion I belonged to, I would probably say Buddhism, as it is the one that most closely resembles my own beliefs/philosophies. Generally, i find Philosophy to be so much more useful, rewarding, and true than Religion. But that is only My Opinion.
