But then where did that being or entity beyond us come from? You could also explain our universe as two branes colliding in 11 dimensional space transferring lots of energy into our universe. But then like I said you are still left with the question where did tat 'space' come from.
Ekstaza, that's what is most likely to me. The universe, multiverse and higher dimensional universe just exist. And we live in this universe that's suited to life just because this is the only place where where we could live.

Other/specify. I believe that every one has his or her own religion. Who give a shit about church if you are just going to be an asshole everywhere else?
I will say that all religions do serve a purpose. Death is overwhelming, both for one's self and the loss of others. Religion gives people comfort that their spirit live on. It gives people a way to explain death.
It also gives stupid people a reason to annoy you, start wars and kill people. It seems that people's IQ is indirectly proportional to their group size.
There are two types of people. Those who believe in something and those that believe in nothing. I believe that there is one single consciousness that we are all a part of, equally good and evil, and that is 'God.' When you die your consciousness just goes back into the pool.
Really, if you look at everything in life there are always three parts. The positive, the negative and the in between. The positive and negative are always equal and opposite. Look at any example in physics...magnetism, electricity and of course the coolest one, gravity. Energy and matter can not be created, nor destroyed. Everything that has been created has an equal antithesis some where to balance it. Isn't consciousness energy? Shouldn't the same laws of physics apply? If so, the consciousness that is in you can not be created nor destroyed.
Well you might ask what is the opposite of consciousness? I would ask where does your consciousness go when you sleep. Why is sleep required for every animal on earth? If I just lay still for 8 hours shouldn't I gain as much energy back?
So my abbreviated theory is this. During the last big crunch, just for a split second, there was nothing... Now think about nothing for a second, it is intrinsically something. All at once the universe realizes that there can't be nothing without something. It explodes with unimaginable force creating energy and matter. What is the universe really, a bunch of something in a whole shit load of nothing.
But it creates one more thing. The fact that nothing is intrinsically something is a realization, a logical thought process. The Universe is aware of itself and consciousness is created. An explosion equal that of energy or matter. Consciousness is everywhere. It is both evil and good, love and hate, comfort and jealousy, happiness and insecurity. We are just animals trying to harness it and for some of us, it is overwhelming.
That is my theory and I am sticking to it. I am a scientific logical person and it agrees with the facts that I found in this world. It is not based on books and propaganda that have been obscured by time. People think that science is against religion. I think that science does the best job of explaining it. Just remember, three is a magic number. =g

I don't really have a religion, I just feel really strongly about the importance of my own existence and that there is something "out there" that kind of like transcends reality and connects all living things together.

I guess that's kind of like agnostic, but I'm not too sure.

Dunno, I kind of identify with several religions, Asatru, Rastafari, some aspects of Christianity and Islam. I hold the ideals of Buddhism in high regard. But I guess technically I'm an agnostic-athiest. I try and take the best of every religion I encounter and use those pieces to better myself.

Agnostic. I just don't know...
There are bizarre things that happen that can't be explained by science and seems to point at faith or consciousness existing outside our bodies or if it's something that we're too stupid to discover yet. I don't know...I'd like to think there is something more with my own personal heaven. I don't know if it is all wishful thinking though but I do have reasons why I'd believe this type of heaven existed which would make more sense to me than organized religions. In a way everyone is happy in my belief lol look at my first post about personal heaven.
Anyways, I don't think ceasing to exist would be so bad if I lived my life long and to the max so that it is fulfilling. I hope the same for those I care for I hope we all get to spend our time together as much as we can in this life for as long as we can happily.

I honestly don't like completely identifying with a religion.I believe in God, Jesus and elements of christianity partially because i was raised to.I don't feel that the bible is the be all end all rules you have to follow that most christians do.I am definitely open to other religious teachings and believe many do have something to offer.

I'm atheist/agnostic. I consider myself a Unitarian Universalist and attend a UU church. And through use of dissociatives I've developed a very spiritual appreciation for all of the matter and energy of the physical universe as well as the dark and the emptiness that fills most of it, so in a way the universe is my god.

I chose other, i have found that my natural inclination to believe that i am my own god in a whirlpool of atheism is best described by satanism.
