What religion/faith are you?

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Apathyist would be my label of choice.

If something or someone spiritual exists it can bloody well make itself known to me if my caring about and/or acknowledging its existence is important to it.

 

[think]

I am an atheist. A secular humanist.

Reason - I have never seen any evidence of a god.

God neither exists nor does not exist... IMO
the proof is made by taking the existence "proof" that we might call a basic theorem of even our existence and putting this negating sign/symbol about this "idea" such that it does NOT exist... these are given ideas...

so what,..

Gödel's ontological proof is a formal argument for God's existence by the mathematician Kurt GödeL

hehehehe

I'm a Bill-ist. Believing in the awesome power of me, Bill.

Right, and as I am Bill too I have become a Bill-ist also but in a different sense that .... B-ill-ist formally is a type of being ill ism so I am illing about likely stuck to the floor as the phone bill alt not paided ism... sorta..

Agnosticism is not an aspect of atheism. I'm in no way an atheist.

I want to believe. Heck I want to believe in atheism! Or.. anything. Just can't swallow the load.

I Believe NOTHING... because NOTHING exists ... Because NOTHING Does NOT exist also... the duelist dichotomy of Paradoxes... I have moved on to tridoxical thoughts and pressed further into these that are beyond that.

the only thing I find wrong at this point and it is an average point in my living now... Is that word wrong... it is only or solely wrong that it makes it self wrong in the self reference of being

Believe? NOPE= I believe nothing... it is all lies that the great ancestors started when they FIRST started to lie to their kids And everything written is just as much a lie as that.

I Know God.
I Know myself
I know Others of myself
I am Bill
I am william
I am who I am
we are who we are
My proof of my existence is ... now

I think ...therefore I know

I know that I know therefore I think I am Known
I can do anything.
I do everything ... as well

I have gone too far in this response but ---- again ---- so what ----

God is the sandwich the computer you are typing on the things you think and ... et.c., but

I liked that last statement so so much I quoted it and signed it informally ---- hehe

my purpose is to find my purpose then actualize said purpose ----

or not.

I am not a religion, but thanks for asking OP.

I can get behind this. Or I am behind on this. Or it is all behind me.

[Relayer1]

I want to believe.

So do I. I just...don't.

Atheist.

 

[DimesDan]

I once kinda believed and then things happened and I stopped.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I once kinda believed and then things happened and I stopped.

Yup.

If an almighty gave a rats about it they could have, you know, said something at the time. BECAUSE THEY'RE ALMIGHTY! Supposedly.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

What would God need with a human?

 

[Miss Chicken]

I can't think of many things I would less like to believe in than a god.

Though I guess it would be OK to believe in a really cool god like some of the Norse ones.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

What would God need with a human?

Well apaz we are like cute little hamsters?

 

[RJDiogenes]

Atheist, Secular Humanist, Rationalist. Reality is more amazing than any god ever invented.

 

[Relayer1]

I can't hink of many things I would less like to believe in than a god.

Afterlife/survival of the soul, to be reunited with ones loved ones, that life has a purpose ? It's all appealing.

I just wish I could take it seriously.

 

[Longinus]

Atheist, Secular Humanist. At least in practice.

I've read enough philosophy (and some physics) to realise that the universe is insanely complex. I think that the ultimate 'true nature' of reality is such, that humans are simply unable to comprehend it (like even the smartest dog is unable to comprehend how a combustion engine works.) Now, it is in theory possible, that in all that complexity there could be some sort of greater sentience somewhere in there. For example if reality is merely a 'hologram' projected by underlying and all-encompassing unified field of quantum information (as some scientists have theorised), and if information is consciousness (as Giulio Tononi's rather brilliant Integrated Information Theory suggests), then perhaps the entire universe is conscious! Now, I don't find this likely, but I don't find it completely impossible either. Technically, thinking this might make me an Agnostic, but that label probably implies greater credence given to such ideas than I do. And more importantly, to many people being an Agnostic implies entertaining the possibility of deities popping up as a burning shrubbery to tell some primitive nomads who to fuck and some such, and I certainly don't. So Spinoza's God, maybe, if extremely unlikely; Abraham's God, hell no!

Furthermore, I'm an Antitheist. I think that organised religions are unnecessary, wield unhealthy influence and perpetuate silly superstitions and magical thinking. Sooner we get rid of them the better.

All hail Athe!

I just wish I could take it seriously.

I find the very idea of an eternal life to be far more frightening than death. I wouldn't mind living for 1000 years, or 10000 years but I don't want an afterlife.

Also I cannot not understand why any sort of God would give a person's life purpose. One can quite easily have purpose without a god being in the picture.

There are loved ones I miss, but with my luck I would probably be reunited with my mother instead.

 

[Admiral Shran]

I Believe NOTHING... because NOTHING exists ... Because NOTHING Does NOT exist also

Ve are nihilists, Lebowski. Ve believe in nothing.

As for me... Christian. Catholic specifically.

As for why... why not? What have I got to lose?

 

[Locutus of Bored]

A poll without Agnosticism is a pitiful poll.

If it's alright with the OP, I can add agnosticism (and Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.) to the poll now that we have the ability to edit polls after they're posted (which we couldn't on vBulletin). Or he can do it himself if he'd prefer.

 

[Longinus]

Also, as far as the poll goes, I believe that Mormons are considered to be Christians as well.

Well, they certainly consider themselves Christians, but there are a lot of Christians that wouldn't agree. Taxonomically it is a bit off an odd situation, they have their own 'revelation' and their own holy book, and they believe in a lot of things that are at odds with 'normal' Christianity. To me it seems that they're an offshoot of Christianity like Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism. Though they believe in divinity of Christ, so in that sense they're Christians. Not that any of this really matters.
