Who says that The Bible is necessary to be a Christian and have beliefs about God?

Because that's where the concept of god and what he supposedly wants from humanity comes from. It's supposed to be his word and all.

I thought religion existed long before The Bible did.

ReligionS existed before the bible, not god or Christianity.

Christianity you say comes from The Bible, but consider this: Someone created The Bible, yes? And where did that person get his ideas from? Is it not perhaps possible that someone witnessed Jesus's teachings, in fact multiple people, and they passed on teachings and ideas by word of mouth? And the idea of God may have come from people just sitting and thinking about how the world and everything as they are may have come into existence? Something can't come from nothing. Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy. There are exceptions to this law of course, however the existence of the universe can't just form from currently existing scientific laws. Someone could also notice this and determine God's existence.
Also, didn't Judaism exist before there was any Bible at all? If so, then they believed in God before there was The Bible.

Im pretty sure judaism just started by some dude that spread the word of the lord to a bunch of gypsies and idol worshiper.

Nothing deep or philosophical about it, sorta like a deranged homeless person shouting nonesense but instead of being ignored, is heard and approved.

The shield is justice, heroes fighting to clean the injustice of the world, which originates from the dark lord cena.

This is what I say to this. I took the time to prepare speech

I am indeed cuntologics, and at my side the man we know as Cigarette, and the world knows as the Shark.

And indeed, there are many that call us heroes. But it is all of you who are the true heroes! It was you who fought a dying Empire who sunk its claws into our land, trying to drag us down with it. It was you who fought the Hummingbird and their puppets who would have us deny our gods and our heritage. It was you who fought your kin who didn't understand our cause, who weren't willing to pay the price of our freedom. But more than that, it was you who fought for MAL, for our right to fight our own battles... to return to our glory and traditions, to determine our own future!

And it is for these reasons that I cannot accept the mantle of "High King." Not until the Moot declares that title should adorn my shoulders will I accept it.

A great darkness is growing, and soon we will be called to fight it, on these shores or abroad.

The ANNi Dominion may have defeated the Empire, but it has not...defeated... Skyrim!

I don't really see myself as someone who believes in God intensely and passionately, as if my life's sole purpose was to live according to his will. I was raised by my Christian parents but tbh, I've had my questioning period, there were times I questioned if God really exists or not and the more I think about it, the more I seem to contradict myself (regardless of what i believed in at the time).

I just came to a conclusion that I should at least believe in something, no matter how absurd those beliefs were. I don't believe in categorising your beliefs to a certain religion. "I believe in God so I must be a Christian. I believe in mind enlightenment so I must be a Buddhist." It's ridiculous, really. What if I believed in both? Or half of this and a few of those? What should I call my religion then...?

Maybe that's why they're so many agnostics.

The original poll question was different, that's why. It was "do you believe in your religion?", so atheist was the N/A vote.

Do you think a disproportionate amount of anime watchers are atheists? Or maybe a disproportionate amount of atheists are anime watchers?
