    No, I don't think there can be a God with so much suffering in the world.
    No, I don't think people who commit serious crimes, scuh a smass murder, should get rights and respect.
    No, I do not have a faith. I used to be catholic, but that was when I was younger, and it was forced upon me. Also, church is boring as fuck. I would rather be on the streets helping homeless people or whatever rather than praying for them, which in my experience, doesn't do anything.

    TL;DR If there is a God, I don't think he gives a damn about the world. This quote best reflects my opinions.

    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
    Then he is not omnipotent.
    Is he able, but not willing?
    Then he is malevolent.
    Is he both able and willing?
    Then whence cometh evil?
    Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God?

    1) If there is, there is one god between all faiths. To be fair though, I highly doubt there is!
    2) Everyone has right to thier own opinions, which is why there is religion. No, it's a violation of Human Rights
    3) If agnostic counts... otherwise no.

    1) no
    2) no, I agree with cooldaddy96.
    3) no
    I also don't know if TPT needs to discuss religion. I know that flaming hasn't occurred yet... but I think its a likely possibility.

    Yes - As a guidance system, when there is a lack there of.

    Yes/No - I believe each culture has it norms, and most of us could never change that. Ex. Middle Eastern Countries, and other tribal countries. But I do believe those of us who are civilized could unite in respect, honesty, and Rights.

    Yes Christianity, Its sad though. I am criticized by many young christians in my community because I except God and Science. I believe God is the excuse for the lack of a greater understanding of the Universe and its Mechanisms. Take this for instance. If God is the whole sum of all knowledges, Known and Undiscovered, why not embrace all aspects of the Universe. Culture, Music, Arts, Science, Math, Love, Even other religions. In the Bible it says that all men where created equal and in gods image. That leave's me with one conclusion. We all hold keys in the universe. We all have strengths and weakness. We all need to try experience eachothers worlds and beliefs, so that one day we all may prosper together.

    i believe the basis of religion is to teach you good morals like this verse from the bible

    Galatians 3:28
    There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
