Here are my beliefs. Before I start I would like to say that they are silly, and completely based on faith, as I have no proof to back this up. See, that wasn't so hard Pinky.
I believe that there is a supreme being, but not so much as that he's some guy in white robes sitting up in the clouds. I believe it exists in the human subconcious. This spirit is the result of human faith, and did not create the universe. I believe in what our western friends call Karma. If you do good things, good things happen to you. If you do bad things... vice versa. Maybe not today, but your actions will bite you in the ass eventually. And so this "being" seperates fate from chance, and your actions come back to you accordingly. Because this "spirit" is merely in your subconcious, it is simply your direct actions that cause the reprecussions[sp] of fate. However, what of the people who have done no wrong doings, and bad things still happen to them? This is the variable factor, chance. No one's life is set up for them. There isn't some Son of God out there who has your life planned out. Live your life.
In conclusion, I beleive that there is no "supreme ruler of the universe" or "ultimate God", it is merely in the imagination. However, the collective human subconcious, has created something. Faith has played a role of fate and chance, but really it is one's own actions that they should be concerned about.
Sorry, I'm preaching. Believe or not, my 'religion' was spawned by a Japanese television series, Serial Experiments Lain, that really got me thinking about my own beliefs. And no, the ranting listed above wasn't in the series, it was a result of me thinking long and hard about what I believe in.
