    Plenty of people believe that there is a God, but they don't necessarily believe in any of the religions that we have. It's understandable, most of our religions are pretty corrupted, and as the imperfect beings that humans are, they tend to stray from the original purpose or beliefs that the religion was founded on, causing it to be illegitimated and gain a bad reputation to the world.

    religions are for the weak of mind - faith isn't and believing isnt but religion is for those who need to be told what to do!

    Faith is a decree from God.Religion is run by man and man is not perfect.Of course corrupt men have used religion for their own ends and purpose.. that's all religions

    I can't see how someone would try to base their life on something written in a book. Who's to say some random dude and his friends trying to be funny didn't write the bible. We here at BBW should try it, write a book similar to the bible, but include what we want in it, then go around saying it's what we believe in. We may bet followers, who knows.

    Its hard to trust one religion when religion is the cause of all problems in the world today.. Thats why I'm atheist. An enitire section of the world is being dirsupted because of different interpretations of one religion..

    But that's only due to human's imperfections, not the actual God which the religion is focused on.
