i havent made up my mind...sometimes i am all for reincarnation...but then for a while there i beleived that babies pick their parents before they are born based on what lessons in life they needed to learn but then wondered if that would work if we forgot (once we were born) what that lesson was.
I do believe in dinosaurs and evolution tho but havent decided about a higher power.
there you have it. can you tell i've been up for a while. had a chance to get my brain awake.

I believe in the whole life after death thing, mediums etc... not so sure about tarot though. I dont believe in god (sorry if that offends anyone) but I do believe there is more than just our living life if that makes any sense. and possibily another life form, not aliens as such but surely in this massive huge universe we cant be the only living creatures.

I do believe there is a higher life form than Man.
I don't believe in the version of God/Jesus that the Church preachers - and thats coming from someone who was born and raised catholic. I just don't buy it.
I believe life is about balance, its when life gets out of balance that we either get sick, or unwell. I think the same applies to the Planet.
Did you know we only use 10% of our brains?
Thats not entirely correct, we only use 10% of our conciousness (sp). Most of our bodily functions (ie breathing, heart pumping, cells replicating) are part of autonomic nervous system - and its not the size of your brain that counts - its the number of connections.
Interestingly I was reading the other day, that babies are born with primative reflexes - and they are lost in the first few weeks of life - and have to be relearnt.

I believe in God and Satan and in life after death. I believe that Jesus is Gods son and died for our sins. But I believe that God can't be what people tell you he is he is who you search out and find in your heart.
Wow my lil religious speil

Consciousness/subconsciousness is still part of your brain!!!

I think we want to know to much & have to make things bigger & better. We would of been fine if we werent jealous & stuff & wanted it.. but couldnt understand coz of a language barrier  Or maybe it was just too gross for some of us..

How come it doesn't count? You are still using your brain?
Although maybe its not a bad thing we don't use it fully - as there is a fine line between genius and insanity. And many highly intelligent people - have been a bit crazy.
If I have to choose between having good sense and genius - I'll take the former.
These posts of yours Glow are fun and interesting. Esp on a Monday morning.

I know what agnostic is! Good ole Catholic school upbringing... agnostic is don't believe in anything in particular but not averse to the idea that there *might* be a higher power, unlike atheists who are anti religion full stop.
I'm Catholic (obviously!) and while I don't subscribe to some of their fundamental teachings (mostly those on contraception and marriage) I cetainly believe in God, and that Jesus died and rose again to save us. I do believe that faith is a very personal thing tho and that even tho two people might share a religious belief, they way they interpret that, and live it, might be very different.
Oddly enough tho, I also believe in karma...

i believe in God, but not necessarily the God from the bible (He always seems really mean and unforgiving to me, the God i know is like a really loving grandfather ) i believe in Heaven, mainly because the thought of not seeing some people ive loved and lost again is too hard to comprehend so i cling to the belief that i'll see them again one day.
I believe in Karma, and that there are things we'll never know the answer to, i believe in dinosaurs.
I believe that going to church doesnt make you a christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
I believe that sometimes life is very unfair, and sometimes, it is beautiful.
I believe that past experiences may influence who we are but we are responsible for who we become.
Most of all, I believe in Me, cos i think thats the most important thing of all.
And now i also believe my lunch break is over and i have to go back to boring old work.
And i believe i dont want to

The God I know is like a really loving grandfather too, who knows what's best for me even when I don't. But who also tells me to pull my head in when I need to be told. I believe that God loves me so much that He sent his son Jesus to die for me and pay the price for all the rubbish I have in my life. I believe in the teachings and example of Jesus, and that all my actions should be in love (well that's what I strive towards anyway). I believe that there is a heaven and a hell. I believe that God answers the prayers of my heart - sometimes even when I don't even know I've asked Him. I believe that God can give anyone a new start on life.
ETA: Oh I also believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, but it should be read in context - of what is written before and after a certain verse, and also to keep in mind the historical context of when it was written.
