Religious beliefs of Iron Maiden fans

[Sea of Madness]

This thread is not meant to be a religious debate. I'd just like to see what the religious opinions seem to be among the brothers and sisters in Iron Maiden. I guess I'll start by saying I'm an atheist. Don't be afraid to share your beliefs. I certainly don't care. I'm just curious to see...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

The majority of fans follow the teachings of Adrian Smith.

 

[Brigantium]

Atheist, but respectful of other people's beliefs.

 

[Forostar]

Sea of Madness

 

[The Flash]

There's no god but Adrian Smith.

 

[Ariana]

Adrian Smith.

Spoiler

I also believe in cod.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

There's no god but Adrian Smith.

And SinisterMinisterX is his prophet.

 

[Diesel 11]

Before this thread goes crazy with Adrian worshippers, I'll jump in and say that I'm a LaVeyan Satanist, but I was raised as a Christian so I'm always respectful of others' beliefs.

 

[Collin]

The majority of fans follow the teachings of Adrian Smith.

The rest follow the Church of Dave Murray and the sole belief that he has back-to-back solos on Prodigal Son.

 

[JudasMyGuide]

Raised in an aggressively atheist family, I am a Catholic convert, actively practising. In fact, I'm starting my Theology studies this autumn.

 

[mckindog]

Forever the contrarian, eh Judas?

And in the spirit of the thread, raised Catholic, non-practising.
I believe organized religion is a terrifying, horribly abused concept and that faith (in whatever) is highly underrated.
And yes, I fully appreciate the irony of the above.

 

[Night Prowler]

I'm a polytheist.

 

[Forostar]

I believe organized religion is a terrifying, horribly abused concept and that faith (in whatever, e.g. organized religion) is highly underrated.

I'm an atheist, but I'm perfectly fine with whatever people want to believe in as long as two things:

One, do ye no harm.
Two, agree that all people of all races, religions, genders and sexual orientations deserve the same treatment in all things.

Go with that and I'm cool with whatever religion you want to believe in. Violate the above and I'm your enemy.

I'm basically the same, but I'd add a 3rd thing to that list.

Three, don't try to convert me to your beliefs.

I'm more than fine if someone is Catholic, Islam etc. or even if they want to believe in the Flying Spaghetti monster. But even from a very young age, I get really really pissed off when people try to convert me to their beliefs. Everyone should get a choice as to what they personally believe in. I respect your choice and beliefs, so you should respect mine.

 

[Black Wizard]

I'm a polytheist.

As am I, but I only worship goddesses....

 

[LooseCannon]

@Black Wizard you can't have dibs on all of them!!!!!

Three, don't try to convert me to your beliefs.

I actually don't mind this. Once you start trying to convert me, that means I have a free pass to go full anti-religion on you. And that's fun.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

If we have faith, he will hear us.
If he hears us, he will sing.
If he sings for us, our souls are saved.

@Black Wizard you can't have dibs on all of them!!!!!

Yes I can.

 

[LooseCannon]

Is everything over for you when you die?

Exactly like it was before I was born.
