What's your religion OT?

[QUOTE="themajormayor"] Just like me too then apperantly. And I'm 100% theistic. foxhound_fox

The point is what you mentioned is not exclusive to Atheism. It's like OMG Einstein wore clothes. I guess that's makes him an atheist since you also wears clothes.

Looking for something I could ascribe to rather than personal experience.

Guess I have to smoke more weed

It is all a matter of perception. When I found what many have called "God", I felt a "presence" that was "other" to my "self". But I was able to see that it was my subconscious mind manifested on top of my conscious mind in the same moment.

Yup more weed

It is why people attributed human aspects to "God" in the past... because that is essentially what it is. But go ahead, dismiss everything I say because I don't fit into a predetermined label and think that another very wise man saw exactly the same thing I did when contemplating the universe and merely used the popular vocabulary of the day to describe it.

He didn't see the exact same thing. You just want him on your team. Which he isn't. "The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how." Now this doesn't mean he believes in a personal God but certainly not what you believe in. Which is complete disbelief in any kind of God I would imagine.

I'm a mozlum.

I think I'm similar to the "previous" you. I've been searching around and trying to find meaning in life, but, quite frankly...haven't really found any. :? I've been through phases of my life, mostly my teen years, where I was a staunch atheist and listened to a lot of Bill Maher, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hithcens, even though I grew up in an open-minded Methodist household. It was also a time when I was just deeply depressed about life; I had lost my job, my grades were low, and I felt like a failure. Then I started embracing the deistic train of thought, though, admidittingly, my state of mind was not much different than before. Now, after a little bit of research and inspiration, I can think that maybe there is hope over the horizon...and somewhat went back to my Methodist routes...though I don't completely consider myself that. I consider myself primarily agnostic and secondly a Methodist, and acknowledge that there's a lot I don't know, but hope to find out. the_plan_man

I would be christian.

I find it very interesting that you call yourself an ignostic non-theist. Ignosticism is something that way too many people overlook, unfortunately. ghoklebutter

I strongly agree with it and it has been something I've believed for years without knowing the label. I still call myself an atheist because f*ck the system.

TBH, just because Einstein says something doesnt mean is true.

BossPerson

Yeah, I don't get why people fight over the guy's viewpoints, as if it somehow validated theirs. smh.

Roman Catholic, but I'm not all that religious and frankly I only go to church because my mom makes me. (Downsides of being a teenager)

I believe in God but there are things with the Catholic church that I don't totally agree with. I'd prefer to just live my life with good intentions and whatever happens, happens.

I am a Buddhist, but I've previously been an Athiest, and a Christian.

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"]

I'm a Christian. Surprise, surprise, atheist is the most picked option.

Hubadubalubahu

Hahah what a rude and ignorant statement. He wasn't even saying it with disdain, obviously he expected most results to be athiest. YOU are the one who brought hatred into the mix you fool..

I don't have one, but I prayed to someone when I went into a surgery where i had only 10 percent to come out of. Hypocritical I know, but being scared will do that.

Actually, it's religious people who misquote him to justify their beliefs. They even did that when he was alive.

And then atheists feel the compulsion to argue that by his own comments he was a pantheist (basically a cut form of atheism), despite the fact that he denied such a claim.

What he believed in was much closer to pantheism than an invisible skydaddy even it wasn't exactly that. Don't even make that comparison. And like you said, it doesn't even matter what he believed; atheists are just correcting blatant lies.

Who is this invisible Sky daddy? And who believes in him?

I never said he believed in a skydaddy; atheists are making incorrect statements while arguing with theists. idgaf what he believed in and the entire argument is filled with idiots.

My family is muslim, but Im an atheist. Although I still fast during Ramadan just because its more of a cultural thing than a religious thing.

Athiest, meaning I'm not really in a religion.

Who is this invisible Sky daddy? And who believes in him?
