Tell us about your religion

The story of how we get here is so silly, you'd think it was total fiction if it wasn't true!
"Egg plus sperm makes a baby that is a separately consciousness and individual entity.
Baby breathes and lives, then dies away."

Honestly, the stork story is easier to believe. But it's the silly one we know to be true, with all its mystery and grandeur.

What we don't know would fill the universe! Who can be surprised at anything?! the notion itself is arrogant and demonstrates our limited understanding.

In God We Trust!!!!!!!!!

This seems like the appropriate place for this video.

Thanks Cinnamongirl for teaching me how to use the ignore button so I don't even have to read the garbage responses!!!!!!!!!

Is it really necessary to tell everyone that you have someone on ignore?

Now that I know how, you might be next. LOL

While a majority know that public school teachers cannot lead classes in prayer, less than a quarter know that the U.S. Supreme Court has clearly stated that teachers can read from the Bible as an example of literature.

The most beautiful literature in the world is in the Bible:
Ecclesiastes 3

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth?

10 ¶ I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

16 ¶ And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

I simply forgot to add the winking smirk to indicate the intention. Pobody's Nerfect after all - that is the one tenet of the human condition that never changes regardless of which, if any, God or god one chooses to place their faith in. I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me my transgression. I will endeavor to ensure that it is not repeated and will be especially vigilant in including the appropriate emoticom when communicating with you to ensure that I don't inadvertently hurt your feelings. :thumbsup:

Are we all good now?

And it seems I made another error - I am the grandnephew of those two Reverend Monsignors, not their great grandnephew. They were my grandfather's brothers. I also forgot to include that I am the great grandnephew of two identical twin sisters who became nuns, which is where the inspiration for my Uncle Gregory to choose the priesthood came from. Uncle Matt, who was the elder brother, was so inspired by his little brother that he followed him into the priesthood. The two of them, Uncles Matt and Gregory, were brave enough to actually rail publicly against the KKK when they were at the height of their influence in Denver back in the day. I used to visit my Uncle Gregory after his retirement at the Little Sisters of the Poor retirement/nursing facility. I was so inspired by him that I almost joined the priesthood myself, but by that time I had discovered the opposite sex and I knew that chastity and I just couldn't coexist. Although I do think that the ink in Uncle Matt's veins was passed along to me somehow, which is how I ended up in the printing trades. It's all his fault. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :rofl

You have a long history and huge family tree... Any relatives from BedRock? It's not often to find a family so consumed with serving their fellow man - you must be proud...except in the police and fire professions...multi-generations usually on the same job, in the same city, at the same time! Now you're also confusing me again...Now I have three opinions...why, oh why is my life so confusing :Crying:
