I thought that the discussion to day was interesting. I had never thought of talking about religion as worthless. I believe that it is unavoidable. All cultures have had some sort of religion whether it be one god or many. The idea of not taking about it is somewhat foolish. The majority of the world religion is a major factor. The majority of the world’s population believes in some sort of truth. I would say that all people have a type of faith involving the supernatural; either their belief in it or that it does not exist (faith is necessary to be and atheist). A person’s faith in that and what truths they derive from that is, what I would call, religion. These religions are, consciously or subconsciously, acted upon. It is part of the human condition we must talk about it.

My religion goes beyond simply a set of truth or belief. I am a citizen of a different world, a soldier in God’s army. I am a hardcore Christian. the basic truth I believe is well put in the apostle creed.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.

Amen.
