Okay well I am doing a report/essay thing so I can get confirmed.
And my pastor wants me to do a report on my faith and he also wants
me to ask other people what their faith means to them. So tell me...

What does your faith mean to you?

My faith means freedom from opression and personal happiness. the gratification i get from having released myself from the bonds of christianity is almost indescribable. i have no guilt no worry and no concequences.

in case you're wondering i'm a Satanist.

My faith? The peace, harmony and personal freedom offered by a nature-worshiping dualtheistic nature cult.

I know, but it's kinda fun to rile 'em up. No offense. Nothing against Christians, I just like getting people riled up.

I love you guys. Seriously. Like, I know I say it a lot, but it's because I really do. lol. You guys make my day. heart

My faith means to me that there is something higher than human kind. That we are - thankfully- not in full power of the earth. That when no one else and nothing else is left, my God will be. And, just to clear this up, I'm not Christian. I'm saying GOD. The UNIVERSAL one. That guy's always going to be there. For me. For everyone. My faith is the invisible shoulder I can always rest my head on.

It means peace.
It means love.
It means no sin.
It means freedom from the bonds of humanity.
It means joy.
It means completion.
It means life.

If one were to ask me what Christianity meant to me, then I would answer:

Quote:
...Christianity is a belief in mercy and miracles, the belief that everything that is, has a purpose, and that that purpose includes each and every one of us, on a deep and personal level.


Of course, every religion has its assholes. Not including Buddhism.

lol that reminds me of a post a read a long, long time ago:

"So what do Buddhist extremists do? Chant at the top of their longs?"


but anyway, there is Buddhist extremism too, and it would be a mistake to believe that just because something is called “Buddhist” it is free of extremism. I've heard some talks about Buddhists extremists in Sri Lanka, something about Sinhala extremesists or whatever.

well I googled info and I came across this on Google books, lol.

No, Buddhists can't hurt other people. If you harm anyone or anything, you aren't a Buddhist.

Buddhist extremism consists of starving yourself in fasting, meditating for days on end, making entire pilgrimages on your knees, stuff like that.

forget these guys faith is putting your life completely in God's hands. I had a dream recently of a demon child and she was trying to posses me but for some reason no matter how much the child tried i was immune to the child's attacks. it could still scratch me and touch me but it could not posses me. i woke up from my most frightening dream relaxed and not fearful because that dream made me realize how much i really do give my life and my fate and my fears, worrys, and stresses, my everything to the lord. In a fearful time you know you can always count on him to take care of you. This is true faith. now this:
