For those of you who posted that you are "Atheist" I just wanted to know if you are really concrete in your belief that their is no such thing as god. I mean are you as adament that there is no god as Christians/Jews/Muslins are that their is a God.

I am more convinced than they are in my opinion. I also think in about 90% of religious people I speak to, I know more about their religion than they do.

Yup.

In response to Brad's question, instead of explaining for myself, I'll just say, "What she [Emily] said."

Taoism isnt a religon, well actually it became one- but it really branched off from what taoism originally is.

But yeah I'm torn: this FSMism does make some sense.....

Religion, school of thought, whatever -- if I can look to it for spiritual guidance it fills that "slot" in my life.

I'm an Airian, in that I believe that Air exists. Even though I can't see it, I know it's there dammit.

I am definitely adamant about my belief that there cannot be a diety. Those who aren't should label themselves as 'Agnostic' instead.

Actually, no. I guess my religion would be Science. Reason too, maybe...

Seriously, though, I think that religion is created by some smart person who sees that with it, he can become really powerful. Everyone else believes in this religion and is deluded from that which is real. The person who created it and the people who control it win. Hey. It is true.

Religion nowadays is mostly politics. The Catholic Church is an easy example. It has participated in political struggles for the last millenium-and-a-half. Now it has HUGE amounts of power thanks to the many believers.

Anyway, enough of this. I'm just a realist. If something can't be explained by logic, it shouldn't be explained by some story instead.

I can imagine the flames I'll be recieving now.

hey bryce. I am also Catholic. I also used to live in Richmond. I went to Our Lady Loudres. Do you know where that is? I was only a little kid then though. But anyway nice to meet you. Catholicism has the answers. Peace

Technically, I'm Christian - Lutheran, but I'm confused/ in question.

full nelson · Post by **full nelson** » 22 Mar 2006 05:13

Agnostic. I was strictly athiest, but saying for sure that there isn't is as credible as saying there is so I left a small piece of mind open to ponder. My parents are Christian, but let my sisters and I choose as we grew up. Funny we all chose nay.

logan, that's cool that you used to live in Richmond and went to Our Lady of Lourdes - it's pretty close to where i live, i go to Saint Bridget's now, but i used to go to St. Mary's, do you know where either of those are?

logan · Post by **logan** » 25 Mar 2006 15:56

aww im sorry bryce but I don't. It's been so long since I lived there, about 11 years now. I sent you a pm though. peace

Sun worshipper / agnostic

all major religions are ridiculous in my opinion.. but I understand people are uncomfortable with not knowing where we came from and where we're going.

I also think it's awful that they brainwash little kids. I mean, you could raise a kid to believe that monkeys were gods if you really wanted to. It's just another method of censoring and controlling people.

This is why in my church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) children aren't baptized until age 8 (the age of accountability) where they get to make their own choice.
