Are you an atheist?
Do you believe in God? Do you have faith in Jesus?
I count myself as an atheist. |
Oh dear.
I can see this topic quickly descending into the usual religious arguments... I am not an atheist. However, I do not believe everything that is in the Bible... |
Look at my post count...
Go ahead... let the thread degenerate. I haven't been around long enough to see the type of religious arguments presented in PokéCommunity. |
I belive in God, and "" to a certain extent... you see I'm Muslin, and we look at things a little.... nah, a lot differently.
So no, I'm not atheist. |

I'm an atheist. There should be a rule against threads like these, or at least the admins should make a debate forum for controversial topics, imo. |
I believe in God and have faith in Jesus Christ.
I used to be an atheist. |
I belive in god the father, jesus, and the holy sprite. I follow the bible to the best I can but noby is perfect but God's word is.
|
it seems like a harsh word!but i do not belive in god

I'm an Orthodox Christian, like most Greeks I suppose, so nope, not an atheist at all. |
To me, there is no god. Maybe to god, there is no me. I dunno, I really don't care. This life is the only shot we can be sure of, and I'm not going to treat it like a waiting room or spend it striving to prove myself worthy of anything.
|
I believe in God and all the other stuff but I don't go to church or anything but my grandparents are big time believers they have statues everywhere about Jesus.
|
I don't exactly call myself an atheist, but I suppose I am. I don't believe in God, at all. And this is one thing I never doubt myself on, so yea.

Fair use of copyrighted materials. Source is Scribblenauts for Nintendo DS. I'm an atheist, by the by. There are thousands of religions on the planet, most of which exclude any others being right. So even if we take one to be true, the odds are astronomical that I'd pick the right one. And if you take religion to simply be a foundation for morality (which is kind of how I see it), then it's simply unnecessary, as a moral system based on logic works much better. I can usually get by with two simple guidelines. Am I hurting other people with my actions, and am I treating anyone as a tool rather than a person? I try to always make the answers to these two questions "no," and it seems to work well enough for me (when I actually follow it, which is most of the time). Of course, I also have to look at what is socially tolerable, but that's not about morality, it's about not getting arrested (or worse). |
All relgious debates end the same way.
I'm an atheist, I suppose. I used to believe in Jesus, but I really lost faith when everything turned to crap. Besides, like twocows stated, there's too many religions out there to stick to one and believe it's the right one. Quote:

I believe in myself. If god wants to as well ~great.

I don't believe in God. I don't go to church. I don't follow any religions because they all believe they are right in their own eyes. But I do say "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance and talk about how I reserved my spot in Hell.
I could say that I'm half atheist. |
Fortunately, I'm not an atheist. I do believe in God, I just don't believe in the bull-crap they preach in church. :3
I read the bible, and I follow it's missives as much as I possibly can. I can't claim to be a saint, but at least I've never needed someone to tell me what something in the bible meant. xD |
I'm not an atheist. During my elementary school years, I was in a private catholic school.

On the topic, I don't know what I believe in. I used to be a Catholic, but to be honest I never believed in it... and I made that fact known two or three years ago. I probay wouldn't believe in anything right now if it wasn't for near death experiences (where over a thousand people completely unrelated to each other described feeling and seeing the same things). I think there's something out there, but I don't think any human will be able to comprehend what it is. Until, you know, they get to experience it for themselves. |
I'm not one, and never will. I also believe in scientists on what they explain the "unexplainables", because they have proof, but it all ends in one thing and we(not counting the atheists) know that.

I'm an atheist, mainly because I don't really believe in any religion. If there is a god, I'm sure he has better things to control and care about than checking whether you have attended Church last Sunday, or making sure you don't eat pork for whatever reason. Not to mention that most of the rules from said religions are man-made, thus nullifying any "sacred" origin.
Is there a god? I don't know, nor care, and if there is, I'd rather worry about my current life, so it's as enjoyable, happy and useful for me and for the world as possible than caring about an afterlife than might not even exist. Plus, fun question: all the religions (except buddhism) say that, if you don't follow them, you are going to hell. Since you can't believe in all religions at once, you are going to go to every else's hell. So yeah XD |
To all those who said this will end up being closed due to arguments:
It's a yes or no question, it's not a debate. Just answer and move on. As for myself, I have faith in the Christianity religion. I believe in Jesus, God, Heaven, Hell, and everything having to do with Christianity. I don't go to church often, but, the way I see it, you don't need a priest to tell you about the Bible and things. I think if you believe in Jesus and have a wanting to do good, you'll be going to Heaven (please don't say I'm wrong just because I'm Christian, this is the belief for my religion and possibly not yours. K? K.). No one is better than anyone else, and I believe that applies to level of faith as well. Whether you go to a brick building and have someone tell you about the Bible and/or have statues/etc of Jesus/etc around your house doesn't make you any more a believer than you already are. Also, anyone who is non-christian has no right to tell me I'm wrong because they are of a different faith. Remember that. Fine, call that hypocritical, but I didn't say any other religion is wrong or right. I didn't even say mine was right, I just stated what I believed. |
I am an athiest, but I also follow a religion.
I don't believe in any for of deities, it doesn't make any kind of logical sense to me. Not trying to be rude, but God has always seemed like the adult Santa Claus to me. I went to two Christian schools and I listen to the bible stories the same way I listened to other stories. They were interesting, but not real. I don't know.. giant invisible man living in the sky just didn't strike me as very realistic. |
I don't have imaginary friends.
Therefore; I can't be religious. Atheist \m/ |
Someone is playing chess with us where we are the pieces. Now you can call it 'God' if you want to. All I think is that we are not the highest form of life. Yay sci-fi!
