POLL: Ron Paul supporters religion.....

[enjoiskaterguy]

I'm a Christian (non-denominational) I hang out with a bunch of sinners like Jesus did.

I'm sorry but that was just too funny. Major thumbs up.

Im open to all possibilities. I'm open to the existence of Jesus , Mohamed and the other religious icons . I'm even open enough to the possibility that they were ,in some way, alien or humans that somehow "got it" , in that they understood the reality in which we live in and could manipulate it. I respect the ordinary religious person but I just find it hard that a bloke with a beard created light and built us out of a rib bone.... but hey, i am open minded . I am inclined to believe that the Universe itself is what we call "God" and that being born of the universe we never truly die.

Out of all the ideologies that you listed Buddhism is very interesting to me.

I'm sorry to say but chat rooms and message boards are the way America should be. I don't see race, religion, sex, anything like that when I read peoples messages. I just read another persons point of view.

As for Sweden being an atheistic (?) and godless nation, according to the CIA World Factbook:

Lutheran 87%, other (includes Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Baptist, Muslim, Jewish, and Buddhist) 13%

I can tell you that in Sweden and other scandinavian countries religion simply does not dominate people's mindset. Most are connected to church from birth but that really says nothing about their beliefs. My experience is that most simply cannot be arsed to separate themselves from church and staying part of it is just a habit, and most don't go to church except on weddings or funerals etc. Religion simply does not play a big role, unlike in America.

Personally, I'm an atheist.

I would just like to say that atheists in general tend to be intellectuals and we value independent intelligent thought and discussion. Hence our strong support for Ron Paul. Several of my friends who are self-described atheists also back Dr. Paul 100%. I think for the first time a Presidential candidate is tapping into that segment of the population that are non-religious, this is all quite interesting.

Christian - PCA. Former cutlure warrior who figured out that God doesn't need the government to change culture. That's what He uses US for!

 

[noztnac]

I'm Christian but I respect all religions as well as atheists, agnostics, etc. I find Huckabee's brand of religion creepy and weird, and by that I don't mean Southern Baptist, I mean politician who uses religion to rake in votes.

 

[Midnight77]

Agnostic for me.

 

[Meadophile]

Asatru/Odinism

 

[c0unterph0bia]

Agnostic - This is why http://youtube.com/watch?v=6mmskXXetcg

I dont really want to stir a heated debate but ...

I understand what you are saying , but I cant agree that its intelligent to believe absolutely in something that cannot be proven eg. death etc. Sure atheism is grounded in science but science isn't a book-end on possibility. Infact science is forever evolving , taking new directions and making U turns. The book-end is always moving around.

Considering our civilization has barely left the womb , in the grand scheme of things, I cannot subscribe to Atheism , specifically speaking, as a result of intelligence and/or science. Because of this , in my humble opinion, ruling out an endless wealth of possibilities and believing so absolutely in 1 belief ,whether it be atheism or an organized religion , is very pre-mature. We literally know nothing about the Universe . Heck, we know little about our own brains , or atleast only use a small percentage of them

Really??

 

[mdmarino]

So this is where all the atheists hang out?? I so rarely come across any in "real" daily life here in the bible belt. I'm happy to find that I'm not alone!

~another atheist for Ron Paul

 

[Elwar]

I never answer poll or survey questions asking for race or religion.

 

[Dominic]

I'm a follower of Jesus.

 

[daniroyer]

All I can think of when I see that poll is the song "Christians and the Pagans" by Dar Williams (?). Bascially it's a song about a pagan sitting down to Christmas dinner with her Christian relatives and how when they sit together "only pumpkin pies are burning".

Except with this group, it's the Christians, the atheists, the Jews, etc.

It's great to see!

Yet another atheist over here.

 

[firebirdnation]

Agnostic here, but why did you lump Atheist and Agnostic together?
