Are you open about your beliefs?

Well, I'm agnostic, and I have yet to tell my family about this (besides my sister). I dont think I ever will either. I don't think they would try to convert me, but they would most likely be disappointed. I'll tell my friends though if they ask me, but otherwise I'm usually quiet about it.

Are you all open about your religion?

What do you mean by "open"?

Sorry, for the lack of comprehension.

do you like to tell people what you believe i think he means

and yea, im sorta of an agnostic as well

Well, yeah. Kinda obvious, when you see my sig. :)

Why not believe in God? There is so much proof that he is real, I don't see how people can truly believe that there isn't a creator of everything.Zephgaldarien

I really can't tell if your being serious or not.

Not really.

Lately I've been questioning my beliefs. If I ever told my parents I was athiest or agnostic (i'm not), they would try to do something.

If I figure I am, I'll wait to tell someone until I'm 18 >_>

Look at my sig and figure it out for yourself. :P

Absolutely. I find it asinine when people are offended by my religion.Theokhoth

I know what you mean lol

I dont have a religion.

I don't go tellling other people that I am a Christian but I don't hide it, I just show it through my actions.Lonelynight

I really like this attitude. Wish more people thought this way.

I am serious, it had to come from somewhere. You really think the Earth is billions of years old and that it just happened to be in the proper orbit and rotation to sustain life? The chances of that happening are well over a trillion to one.Zephgaldarien

And it's more likely that some all powerful, all seeing being that cannot be proven made us?

Yeah, why not?Kamekazi_69

Of course, the other argument one can make is that that, were it not the case that things turned out that way, we would not be here to discuss the subject, so the fact that we were here means that the event, however unlikely, did occur.

There is only one person in my life who knows that I'm a weak Atheist.

Everyone else who knows me personally thinks I'm still Christian.

I find it funny that God supposedly created man from dirt. lol.

Not dirt, actually clay. And it is a "poetic expression". Infact, many minerals present in clay are in human body. This includes Iron, sulphur etc. (it's a long list really).

uh. I don't really have that distinct of a religion. I have a vague body of philosophical ideas.quiglythegreat

If those are the chances, it's quite possible.

You see, it's quite likely that there are well over a trillion planets in our galaxy alone. ;)

I think so, but you should just try it sometime, you have nothing to lose. The best way to prove God isn't real is to test this whole "christian" thing out by yourself. It can't hurt and that's the reason I believe in God so much. It's a feeling you get inside of you, like love because it's hard to explain the feeling.Zephgaldarien

I was raised Catholic and I no longer follow that faith.

I believe in a greater power watching over us, and guiding us. That's all I really go as far as religion. I guess you could say im christian :? BladeOfHeaven

Unless you believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ (pretty much a prerequisite for being a Christian), that would probably put you closer to deism.

That's an is/ought fallacy mate.

I was raised Christian, but never really was serious about it until 2 years ago about. I hated going to church and stuff but one day I got serious. Maybe one day you can give it a second shot.Zephgaldarien

I highly, highly doubt that.

How? He's not making any value statement.

I am agnostic, or theist, depending on how I feel.

In regards to being open, or non-open, about it, depends on who I am talking to.
