Anyways, I don't remember if I posted in this thread already.... So I will just go ahead and do so.

I am a non-denominational Protestant Christian, with Christian Mystic and some Deist views.

60 of us voted for FSM.

I missed that the first time I saw the poll

Hmm,I never really thought of including Deism in the poll.It's more philosophical than religious,although,since several of the Founding Father's were Deist,I should've remembered it.

Deism is most definitely religious, and I am disappointed in your for forgetting.

Well,I can only put down ten options.I tried to write down most of the major world religions because those are the ones people would most likely belong to.

I believe the "Divine Architect" theory, in which God created the universe to be self sufficient and doesn't intervene in human affairs

It would have been quicker to call yourself a Deist.

None of the poll options.

Organized religion is really a business with a hierarchy and a profit margin. All belief systems are based on the original pagan pantheon(except islam which was already influenced by later Judaic sects and christianity). God was originally any power greater than man himself and used to explain surrounding phenomena. So all belief systems are based on science as well, which is why they all became more profound with time or if they didn't evolve -vanished. So I believe there are forces greater than us that are not deities and that due to different angles of looking at things, different perceptions, we can change our world views according to the various stresses and changes in life to achieve varying results. Therefore, I am a chaoist.

I'm agnostic. Mum was raised a Methodist but no longer practices (and neither does my grandmother. The family and the church fell out with one another).

This is especially true of Scientology (I think).

Well, perhaps most of them; not all!

Partially yes this would be the reason; however these religions are even older than science.

I suppose that different perception and point of view can be different thing.

ALL of them. Judaism is a pagan religion. All spirit creatures are elohim with Yahweh being the father god. Sounds pagan to me. YHWH originated in Midian anyway. So yes, Michael and Gabriel are elohim as well - they are messenger or malakh elohim. Elohim is the plural of the akkadian pagan word for power - El. Angels are these fairy unicorn things the christians made up when they refused to translate messenger into english, latin and other languages and kept the greek word for malakh.

In case of a sudden, instinctive attack of sarcasm or troll-ism, I suppose.
