And do you always hug them upfront or do you sometimes like ninjahug them from the back when they aren't looking?
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't ruin it, hugs are always nice!

Oh I'm sorry! I'm kinda new to this hugging thing since it's not as common with us hippos :/

As long as you don't do anything else with them while they sleep I'm cool with it... thats my job ;) ;)
Your name isn't 'Hugo' by any chance is it? :p (last question I promise!)

i believe in life. my son, my parents, my dog, trees, water, sun. spirituality in a religious way is not for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Uhm. Thanks for including "Other"... :/
I'm going to go sit in the corner now.. and be un-included.. :sniffle:

You are welcome to be included in my non-inclusion corner! ♥

spiritualism maybe?
forgot that too.
or are you just too chicken to choose between agnostic and atheist?

What the heck is wrong with you? Don't open a topic about personal beliefs just so you have an excuse to be a dick to people.
Also, estimates put the number of world religions at around 5,000 different religions, it's pretty darn intuitive to include an "Other" option.
Comment has been collapsed.
so what's the other for you?
just tell me.
i assumed something and offended you i'm sorry.
Comment has been collapsed.
just tell me.
It's likewise rude to insist others express their personal beliefs if they don't feel inclined to :X
i assumed something and offended you i'm sorry.
You made a comment that had no reason to be made except to be rude, in a topic where such behavior is especially inappropriate. That's all.
Well, we all are careless at times, but.. please try and be more considerate in the future? :/

i'm sorry again.
as an agnostic i assumed you were either a undecided nonbeliever or had your own spiritualistic beliefs.
agnostics and atheists would have found my comment funny.
i need more hints,
maybe a geographic location.
going through thousands of years in religious history is not that easy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, I think your experiences with agnostics/atheists differ dramatically from my own.
Then again, I lived in the Southern U.S., where non-Christian beliefs, especially atheistic ones, were treated... well, homosexuality and atheism were, as I recall, largely considered interchangeable references. :X
In any case, there was a lot of derision and mockery and abuse toward such mindsets, which is likely why all the ones I knew/most of the ones I currently know are pretty sensitive about that sort of dismissal of the validity of their beliefs.
In any case, that's unfortunately certainly where mind goes first, with comments like that. :X
I've updated my last post with a clearer explanation of my mindset on the other matter. :P

i'm from central europe so most people here don't care about the religious beliefs of others.
the majority now is probably agnostic or atheist.
and there is always debate amongst ourselves about who's an atheist and who's an agnostic.
Comment has been collapsed.
Extremely dissappointed now.
Not because of the GA I was expecting and didn't find.
But because of not being included in the poll.
Ok, maybe also cause of the GA

sadly i can't change the poll.
what do you believe in or not?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes was my answer to your question.
I believe in what and or not.
It differs depending on a variety of factors, which could be situational, spiritual, economical or practical in nature

Agnostic, but I've found myself following many beliefs of Taoism and Hinduism over the course of my life.

Raised Christian, not-practicing, I'm considering filling for apostasy and joining the Orthodox church.

Dogmatic differences, I do not agree with the Pope's word being gospel, I consider the worshipping of Mary and the Saints idolatry and I consider that the Holy Spirit gave us all the possibility to understand and apply the Bible's knowledge, without having to have no one to interpret it for us.
When I said Christian I meant Roman Catholic Christian.
Comment has been collapsed.
if you think its open to interpretation then you could just leave faith behind and live without it.
or is there a deeper reason for you to stay a christian?
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean, it's not the principal part of my life and I kinda hypocritically gloss over most of the aspects of my faith on a daily to daily basis. Having said that, I kinda wanna be an Ortodox? I don't know, I just feel like it.
If I publicly renounced to my faith it wouldn't go to well over my near family, however, it's not a big deal.

your from england so being catholic isnt that common. am i right?
are there protestant churches that aren't anglican?
i can't really believe that your family would think less of you just because you are not comfortable with organized religion.

I never asked for this... bump first
religious confirmed btw

I´m Roman Catholic, but I don´t believe in any god. I think most ethical or moral values are ok, and the charitable Institutions (school, hospitals etc) are important. this is why I pay for this stuff

Du bist aus Deutschland also sollten deine Steuern Schulen und Krankenhäuser finanzieren.
Dein Kirchenbeitrag finanziert größtenteils Gehälter von angestellten der katholischen Kirche.

Ja zB. Kindergärtnerinnen , Lehrer usw. Wenn man alle kirchlichen Einrichtungen abschaffen würde dann gäbs hier ein Problem denke ich. Hier wo ich herkomme sind deutlich über die Hälfte der Schulen und Kindergärten kirchlich. Und davon abgesehen ist der Zustand der kirchlichen Institutionen deutlich besser wie der der staatlichen.
Comment has been collapsed.
Das gibts in Österreich kaum, vielleicht ein Viertel wens hochkommt.
und der zustand von stattlicher Schulen und Krankenhäusern ist hier auch sehr gut.
Comment has been collapsed.
Das liegt hauptsächlich daran das kirchliche Schulen Privatschulen sind die ihre Schüler aussuchen können, oder bei Verstoß gegen den Schulvertrag auch rausschmeißen können. Also keine Überfüllung oder ungezogene Kinder xD

I'm interested in the religious beliefs of the community.
Feel free to write about why and what you believe in.(or not)
Here is the GA
Edit: As many of you have pointed out the poll is insufficient, so i recommend to just write a comment with your beliefs .
