My religion, Christianity. OH Snap! Take that atheist!
"These words are razors to my wounded heart"
I have few strong beliefs.
But I believe in myself.
Which I think is worth it all.

Ako'y (I'm) "Iglesia Ni Cristo" (filipino for Church of christ) it's christian but without the cross. we practically do everything else the same though
Do you like blueberrys?Me? I haven't reallyTried blueberrys.
hhmm... I believe that beliefs are dangerous so I choose to have few and strive for none.
I don't have many set-in-stone beliefs but rather "A very good idea" <--- quoted from the movie Dogma! (good movie!!)

I don't believe in any religions, so I'm in atheist. But I do believe people have a right to worship whatever they choose (of course, I'll keep my opinions on religions to myself). On the political compass, I'm middle of the road, if only due to my extreme, extreme viewpoints balancing each other out.
War is not a good thing, but it's essentially nature. I believe that world peace is achievable only by force of arms and through imposing somebody's personal beliefs upon everybody else.
“I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: 'The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that's fair.' In these words he epitomized the history of the human race.” –Bertrand Russell

What do I belive in? Well, I guess I could say "true love", but that's sorta not like me. I do belive that there is someone out there for anyone, even though you might think there isn't.
Plus, I belive that there is life after death, though most might not belive in it. See ya around, Big Sista ~*midnight_serenity*~!

I believe that life is full of suffering.People are selfish and unapreciative of the bonds we hold nature.I believe that good still exists in this world,but it's dying out.Sometimes I believe that I alone have compassion for what is right in my own mind.That people should stop what they are doing and look around our mother earth.She is an old child.She running out of time.We've shown no gratitude to her.Instead we slash her forests and build concrete dwellings for more inconsiderate welps.But I believe there is hope.Hope that one day we will rise from this media controled web we wieved and see the error of our ways.Our earth has loved us and nurtured us;it's time we do the same.If you don't understand that is understanding to me.I believe that one day you will see that I'm right.
I believe in Buddha. I do wish I was in touch with my religion more, even if I am young.
I believe in forgiveness, and that there is always good in anyone. I believe everyone's equal, that there is a small blessing for everyone, no matter what hardships they may go through.
My answer is short, idiotic, and pointless. But those are my beliefs.
What a broad question...
Well...I'm Catholic Christian...so I try to abide by some of those rules. I also believe in myself, other people, and science.
BELIEVE IT! O.o; how Naruto-like of me...

I'm Atheist so no religious crap for me sorry.
I only really believe in one thing and that's truth. What could be more believeable?

I have a Code, and several other things I live by.
The 21 Articles of the Warrior's Way
Perhaps the world was never meant to make perfect sense.
I'm jewish (which is very VERY uncommone around where I live)
We pretty much live by the same lwas as mot other people, etc.
A bit stricter in what we are and are not allowed to do though.

Ehhh, I dunno if I'll stick around. We'll see.

Truth is by definition absolute. The problem is that people don't know how to distinguish between facts and opinions. Just because you believe in something with all of your being does not make it true. I could believe if I jump off a building I won't be hurt. I could believe enough to start a religion against gravity. We could meet every Thursday, eat pizza, evade taxes, fight in wars or against wars, be put in jail, and die for my beliefs. I would still be wrong. People's perception of "truth" becomes distorted and confused with "belief". They use the terms interchangably because "truth" gives their words, deeds, and beliefs stronger meaning.
In summary: (Truth != Belief)&&(Truth = Absolute)

Two words will shatter your argument: Consensus reality.
Hey look, Japan made a movie about me!
How do you know truth exists? You've never seen it. You never could see it. All humans are imperfect observers.
If truth existed as you think of it, I could prove this desk I am leaning on exists. But I can't. All I can do is observe it. However, I can't prove anything with one observation. I may be crazy without knowing it. However, if I ask someone to come over and try to see the desk, and they agree it's there, all I have done is made another observation of some one agreeing with me. The fundamental problem is the fact that I can't prove any of my assertions without third parties, and I have no proof third parties exist.
Belief in truth is the first and most fundamental kind of prior assumption. You think you observe it in the same way people think they observe angels and goblins.

Just because everyone thinks something is true does not make it so. Everyone used to know that the Earth was flat and the center of the universe. If you thought otherwise you were insane. If enough people believe a lie, it does not become a truth.Two words will shatter your argument: Consensus reality.
Question: Is it possible for there to be only one sane person on the Earth?
On a side note, I find it kinda funny that that article was taken from wikipedia.
I have never seen China, yet it still exists. And not just because my shirt says so. But that still doesn't disprove your argument, so let me ask: If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? There is really no way to prove it did or didn't. You could cite all sorts of scientific evidence on the properties of sound and reenact the situation any number of times but it would not matter. It is my BELIEF that the universe is orderly and mathematical. I believe that if you observe long enough, patterns begin to emerge and you can assume with some certainty what the outcome of a similar situation may be. Of course I also believe that the formulas are complex enough that there are too many variables to ever fully predict any situation with a 100% guarantee. If I drop a rock 100 times and 100 times it hits the floor, that does not guarantee it wont fall up.How do you know truth exists? You've never seen it. You never could see it. All humans are imperfect observers.

Truth is absolute. If it weren't, you wouldn't be able to prove otherwise. However, I believe, with the exception of the afformentioned, that no truth can be fully known or understood. 100 people (I like that number for metaphors) witness a disaster. If you ask everyone what happened, you will get 100 different accounts. This is because everyone viewed it from their own perspective. The disaster is not subjective, it is absolute. It DID happen. It is truth. Each witness however could only see part of the truth from where they stood and their perception of it is influenced by their past experiences. By listening to everyone's account, you can get an idea of the truth, but it can never be fully grasped.
Summary: Truth is absolute. Truth can never be fully grasped. That does not mean it doesn't exist.
However, there are many things that I can't prove don't exist. Vampires for one. However, I don't need to prove they don't exist. It is an unfalsifiable concept. Belief in reality is just another unfalsifiable concept. Believing in truth is exactly as valid as believing in leprechauns. Why choose one thing you've never seen over another?
You make an assumption based on evidence that could come from any number of sources. Simply because you find a large rock in an empty field doesn’t mean a catapult put it there.
There are many alternatives to the assumption that one observes a perspective-tainted glimpse of truth. All of them equally unfalsifiable, and therefore equally valid.

A tree does make a sound when it falls by itself in a forest. How the hell would it not? What a stupid rhetorical question.
I've always found it stupid simply because it leaves wide swaths of evidence even if no one observes it directly. But the question behind it is fairly interesting: Does the observer define reality or does reality determine the observation? Most observations I've made seem to indicate that observer defines reality. Or rather the apparent reality defines the observer defines the apparent reality.
