Do you believe in god, if not do you believe in something else?

after reading some of your posts, it's clear to see that some of you do believe and some don't, am just curious why people believe and why not, i mean by that, is it because you where raised in that environment or did you decide to believe by yourself? same question for the non-believers.

personally I feel like we are spirituals beings and that's why most of humanity believe in some kind of god, my mom is a protestant but she never forced me to go to church while i was growing up, so that's maybe why i don't believe that much.

 

There was no religion in my house, either anti or pro, and I remember my mom being extremely pissed when my grandmother taught me to pray, but she still didn't say anything. My beliefs are my own, I formed them by myself and my parents had absolutely no effect on them. I didn't know they were diehard atheists until after my belief's basis were formed. Yes I knew about Jesus and different religious ocurrances and holidays and stuff, but my parents never took a pro or anti stances on those, I am after all a Christian in terms of culture, atheis/agnostic/deist in terms of eligion.

This is why I also hate religion, it spreads by parents stuffing it into their child's head at an early age when the child thinks that their parents can NEVER be wrong. It is a horrible practice and my theory is that if it stopped religion would outright die out. Many things are taught at an early age that should never be taught and history is rife with examples of what happens when ideas are stuck into children's heads, one needs to look no further than World War II to see its effects. It's also the #1 reason why I hate religion with a strong passion, it's isidious, and targets the most vulnerable creatures of humanity.
