One answer per post please.

Control over others, apparently.

It’s interesting that even those objecting have kept it to one answer. Hehehe

That's because you have so much influence over us.

Hehehe.

I believe I'll have another drink.

reincarnation?

Myself.

I don’t understand “believing in” something. I can only recall saying “I believe in you!”

I don’t really “believe in” things. Like the guy above who says he believes he’ll have another drink. He doesn’t say he believes in his drink. Maybe it’s the “in” that is hanging me up.

I believe that Capricorns grow more beautiful as they age.

I believe tht 'Caprica' could have been a great TV show if they gotten so complicated with all those side stories.

I believe in magic in a young girl's heart,
how the music can free her whenever it starts...

I definitely believe in my ability to shoot 8 ball

I believe (as of today- may change tomorrow):

Human stupidity is boundless

Human cruelty is endless

Human selfishness trumps common good long term

Religion is mainly a crutch and manipulative tool

Animals are the best company and deserve more protection than they have

Books are better than parties

Citizens United was detrimental and handed over elections and government control to wealthy and special interest dark money interests with anti democratic goals

Scriptures have done more harm than good since they use divine justification to hate

Nature is cruel but beautiful

Life is unfair and people are not created equally

I was with you all the way, until the final two:

Nature is cruel but beautiful

    Nature is efficient, which then accomplishes your two observations.



Life is unfair and people are not created equally

    I still support belief in the Bell-Shaped Curve; individuals are not treated 'equally' (whatever we decide that might mean), but the distribution plots out to show us a form of even-handedness... which brings up luck, or pre-ordination, or whatever you'd like to bring to the "how do we explain this?" party.  

    Starting with the observation that we're each the center of a Universe, being unable to fully agree on everything should be easy to understand.

    Now, if I could have some help in understanding love...  Is 'to love' a transitive or intransitive verb?

How dare you attack my beliefs and muddle them with other thoughts and facts!

Good luck understanding love. Maybe it is actually a preposition or conjunction just to baffle you more.

Like most everyone else, great answers to a completely different question.

It’s not what do you believe?

It’s what do people “believe in”?

Is this why it took everybody so long to get out of the church? They weren’t really reading the book of Mormon and paying attention?

"In 1978 God changed his mind about black people."

Just like with plural marriage...

Yes, Virginia, Ghawd ‘changed his/her mind’ regarding “plural marriage” aka the New & Everlasting Covenant, but it took multiple FP announcements to get the point across…

just sayin’

Karma,?which is bullshit.
If Karma were real Hitler, Stalin, Mao an Pol Pot woulda died a lot sooner.

How did MoMism fare under those guys?

If they were anti-religion or perhaps anti-Mormon...

But back then, who cared ( Well, I guess A. HITLER did), ask Helmuth Hubner (got his phone or email, anyone?

Hitler loved the compliant MORmON Germans, who went along with his genocide.

Perfect!

I believe "belief in" is a trap.

I don't believe in anything.

Dusty Springfield was right when she sang, "Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin' won't get you what you want . . ." or however that went.

Leprechauns.

In terms of spiritual things, I believe in an afterlife, and that reincarnation is a strong possibility.

Apart from that, I believe in old-fashioned virtues including kindness, loyalty, hard work, etc. I believe that all of these virtues can be taught and reinforced independently of religion.
