Are you the same religion as your parents?

I believe in God .....



5)The stories told in the bible probably happened to some degree, but after time and translation things are lost and/or exaggerated thru time (kind of like the game telephone)

This combination always amazes me. There are many people who believe in God but not enough to think he can preserve the integrity of His Word. I think its human nature to want an "out" from being obliged to follow written instruction.

I believe in a higher power, I hang a cross around my neck.
I was raised as a baptist in Jamaica, my mother believes everything in the bible as fact I see them as parables furthermore I dont have a lot of respect for christianity as a whole because..

....history tells us that Europeans went to the middle east (the romans) stole Christianity and made it their own (Constantine), grew it to their own ends then returned to the area to persecute the evolution of that very religion (Islam), and that religions predecessor (Judiasm).

There is a higher power, many brilliant scientists when looking at the universe, and life in its simplest form believe so, I believe that the many religions on the planet are all saying the same thing, however the get polluted by men who try to use them as justification to wage their own wars etc.

..I put my faith in it and am thankful when I am successful. However I see no need to persecute others or try to "convert" them since their relationship with a higher power is there business and there own only.
