What religion am I?

~~GATOR~~ · 08-23-2008, 04:27 PM

What does your religion believe about life, death, and life after death?

What is the basis for those beliefs?

Do you really, truely believe in what your religion classifies you as believing?

What do you personally believe?

Why?

The only way this thread will succeed is if everybody is mature and open to the beliefs of others. If you're not mature enough to understand this, please leave.

Atheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

Atheism, as an explicit position, can be either the affirmation of the nonexistence of gods,[1] or the rejection of theism.[2] It is also[3] defined more broadly as synonymous with any form of nontheism, including the simple absence of belief in deities.[4][5][6][7]

Sounds like what you're describing to me.

The question is, do you believe in a man in the sky? In that case, you're religious. You can be christian even if you don't believe in creationism and that bull****. It's made up by people you know. A lot of christians believe the Bible is written by humans and therefore have errors. You don't have to be a fundamentalist.

Not because I have faith in the scientific theory of evolution, but because I find it hard to believe that a man in the sky made the human race (and other living stuff) in 7 days.

The underlined part is where your concept of God went faulty. It seems you have always seen God as a finite man bound by his own creation floating around in the sky like a washed up product of a bad fairy tale. So by definition, ur perception of God was not consistant with what the Catholic faith believed so it would be impossible for you to see things eye to eye with them.

As for your religion, you are full bloan Athiest. Agnostic is not an option since you seem rather cirtain of what you believe while agnostics simple admit "we dont know and cannot ever know."

Im just curious how the "Hey Mom and Dad!!! Guess what !?!? Im an Atheist" chat will go. That would be pretty interesting.

I'm Agnostic I guess, but I still have ideas. In the end, that's all there can be. How can you say you're right? I don't see evidence as credible proof of my mortality or immortality. All I know is that I don't know, that's all you can know.

slingblader · 08-28-2008, 11:57 PM

Yeah, tell that to religious extremists. Hell, tell that to your typical Sunday church goer.

Nothing angers me more than people who back up their idea of God with the idea that, something had to make everything, and for whatever reason define this as immediate proof of the God they believe in.

I belongs to Hindu religion. But I respect all religions. In my opinion, god make man and man make several types of religions and they attack each other in the name of God.

Atheistic religions don't attack each other in the name of a god...

I suppose I'm a mix of Christian and Agnostic in a way.

I do believe that God exists, but I know I cannot prove it. I also know it's not provable that he doesn't exist either.

~~Shichirou~~ · 09-20-2008, 06:15 PM

God in my opinion is no "person" in the sky, but a force or maybe even an event, the big bang could be called god itself because it is the creator of everything.

Since they dont have a God that would be pretty difficult to do dont cha think?

Why do people desperately try to label themselves? Is it really necessary? You have your beliefs and that's it, you don't need to be called something/have a name for it.
