Since there is no other option, i choose no. It's not that i don't believe IN the Bible, the Bible is a real book it's whats in it that i'm sketchy of. Every religion has their perks and their misconceptions but i choose not to dwell in any but rather educate myself on the school of thought. What i don't get is why people think that their religion is THE religion. There have been many religions that have faded away from the minds of people, their REAL cultural religion. Egypt used to worship the "Gods", The Greeks used to worship their "Gods" also. Basically what i'm saying is, there are way too many religions that have come and gone or have stagnated to say that the Bible is the ONE true book. As long as people believe in something other than the Bible, it's only dominance is in our minds.
Check out this study (URL at the bottom of the post), that shows once again that science and religion don't work together. People (with HIV!) who go more frequently to church/mosque think that faith alone can cure HIV more than people who go less frequently. And there are even those who think that taking ARV medications shows lack of faith in God. Insane!
I am replying to where it says basically that Christians rely on faith about God. First let me say, I do not lie and I do not argue and I will not argue. I will however, respect any of your respectful opinions, comments or questions to what I have to tell you. Also, you seem to be a pretty cool guy from reading about you and I wanted to congratulate you on your engagement to your lovely girlfriend. So, what I was going to tell you is that some Christians do rely on faith alone. Then even more of them rely on faith and the Holy Ghost, which is amazing, Then there are a very few who have actually died, their soul has traveled to Heaven and they have had interaction there. That is where I come in. It happened to me. While my soul was being directed through Heaven to wherever it was supposed to go...all of a sudden Our Father in Heaven started talking to me. At first, it was so wonderful in Heaven that there are no earthly words to describe it. I just know it was so magnificent I never wanted to go back to earth. I also couldn't remember anyone from back on earth at that time. I will tell you my husband had just passed away three months earlier and I had two small children at home and one is disabled.

Just as Heavenly Father was going to speak to me, he stopped my soul or spirit from traveling. I was just thinking how much I couldn't wait to get to where I was being led and he started talking and said "Art thou sure?" I said "Yes." Then Heavenly Father said, "What of thy children?" And all of a sudden, all of my memories came flooding back to me and especially of my kids. Then I started begging him to send me back to earth and bring me back to life so that my children wouldn't be orphans. If a soul could cry, mine would have been crying. Silly me, that was his wonderful intentions all along. He sent me back right after that short conversation. Other than being in a bit of shock and needed some water, I didn't have any organ damage or anything. So I just wanted to tell you God does exist for a fact and he is wonderful, merciful,loving and kind and he knows all.
Christians believe that God is Father Son and Holy Ghost a Trinity God Guess who Else has Trinity Gods in history Gee Has Anyone heard this story Meet Nimrod the Father , Tammuz the Son and Holy Ghost also called Semiramis and yes Tammuz was Born of a Virgin birth Witness by three wise men under a star Performed Miracles raising the dead healing the sick Called the Alpha and the Omega The Light the Lamb Betrayed Died by being Crucified and Rose from the dead after 3 days in a CAVE
Eyptian Trinity Osiris – god the Father, setting sun. God of afterlife, underworld Isis – goddess the Great Mother, creative power Horus – Son, rising sun, god of the sky, symbolizing sun and moon, left and right eyes, falcon head. The well known Egyptian eye, is the Eye of Horus (Wedjat). In the image Osiris is in the center, Horus is on the left, Isis on the right. Also, Ra, Amun, Ptah trinity Thrice great, Hermes Trismegistus The Three Wise Men, recognized in Christianity is also related to the 3 stars of the Belt of Orion, which the 3 Egyptian Pyramids are modeled after. The 3 stars also point to Osiris’ star Sirius.
Hindu Trinity The One God is symbolized by three gods, as universal forces of the universe. Each aspect containing one another. Each god also has it’s *goddess consort (female aspect) . The Trimurti. Brahma – creator of the universe. *Saraswati Vishnu – preserver of the universe. *Lakshmi Shiva - destroyer of the universe. *Kali The three gunas (fundamental attributes, modes of being) Sattva – Purity (Essence) Rajas – Activity Tamas – Inertia
The Church's first article of faith states, “We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.” These three beings make up the Godhead. They preside over this world and all other creations of our Father in Heaven. Additional Information
The true doctrine of the Godhead was lost in the apostasy that followed the Savior's mortal ministry and the deaths of His Apostles. This doctrine began to be restored when 14-year-old Joseph Smith received his First Vision (see Joseph Smith—History 1:17). From the Prophet's account of the First Vision and from his other teachings, we know that the members of the Godhead are three separate beings. The Father and the Son have tangible bodies of flesh and bones, and the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit (see D&C 130:22).
Although the members of the Godhead are distinct beings with distinct roles, they are one in purpose and doctrine. They are perfectly united in bringing to pass Heavenly Father's divine plan of salvation.

I do not and never have. No one in my faith ( that I know of ) has either because that is what we have been taught straight from the bible. I do realize you are not Christian. So to let you know, I have "similar" higher power beliefs as the rest of the Christians but many other things we believe are different...as in the Godhead: we believe (but I know for a fact, because of what I went through) are three separate beings with one purpose ...and the Cross, Rosaries and the like: are graven images and are not to be had. Yet the rest of the Christians believe the Godhead is "one" in body/spirit and purpose and they have graven images and there is so much more. Have a great day! :0)
The Entire Notion of a Trinity God in a Monothestic Religion is Absurd

I said I know Heavenly Father (God) is his own separate being from his son Jesus and the Holy Ghost. They are three separate beings with one purpose in mind. I suppose I don't understand what you mean or what you are getting at?
