I explained my agnosticism here, so most of that applies in this topic also. :3 |
I dont believe in God or the entire concept of gods. It seems way too priimitive and exactly the same as acient civilization practicing rituals and sacrifices for th Sun God and such. Its easier to believe in aliens than God. I just dont trust basing my lifes choices on what people tell you and what you dont know is true. Its brain washing and ignorance in my opinion but I respect those who do believe in religions. And also, I hate it when people call themselves or consider themeselves a devil worshipper and dont beleive in God when if you believe in Satan then you believe in God. :/ Its all just as real as fairy tales to me...

But really, we shouldn't be talking so much on what was simply a small point. xD; |
I could get into quite the lengthy explanation of aforementioned points, but I won't now. What I will say is this.

Can't say I am. Atheism doesn't necesarily cut it for me but I personally feel that if they had proven that a divine being cannot exist with definitive scientific evidence, then I wouldn't mind switching over.

Seems like someone was epically confused.
I think personally it's wrong to criticize others either way when it comes to personal beliefs, since it is something so personal, but then again, many people are taught that "what they believe in is right" (which, to be honest, I don't believe anything we currently have is 100% "right" due to bias and self intrest), which is one of the reasons I really hate religious debates. Atheists are just as much to blame for arrogance as any zealous Christian, Muslim, Jew, or anything else for that matter. Religion (or lack of it) is a part of your personal definition, and telling someone is "wholesomely wrong" is attempting to change that definition, change their identity. :p |

Apophenia? What Singer are you talking about? Peter Singer? I idolize him... but I do not think he has said anything insightful (as a philosopher about the existence of God.) He is an insightful ethicist though. |
I do believe in God, but I'm not Christian; I'm Muslim. I don't really shove my religion down people's throats. I just believe in what I want.

I am not an Atheist, as it is illogical. As well as blind faith.
This is what I believe: The person who believes in God but is skeptical and understands the possibility of God not existing and existing will be ultimately rewarded in the end if there is a God, while he looses nothing if God does not exist. <- Me The person who believes in God without a doubt and refuses to listen to the possibility of God not existing will be ultimately rewarded in the end as well. But they will loose everything (as in, the basis for their mentality) if God does not exist. The person who doesn't believe in God and doubts and refuses to listen to the possibility of God existing will not be ultimately rewarded in the end. But, they will loos nothing if God does not exist. There is an actual term for this, and it is technically Agnostic, but there is another name for it.. |

In my experience, Atheists tend to just poke fun and harass people who actually have religious beliefs. Very rarely do I ever find one that actually tries to have a friendly argument with someone over the existence of God, and almost always it is the Atheist who makes the arguments turn sour.

Perhaps what The Cynic is trying to say is, that having confidence in a god and having certainty of where you came from and where you're going after death, is to miss out on the opportunity to revel in possibility. |

I'm still not understanding how one's belief in no higher spirituality makes one any more free than the theist. Do you feel any more free? Do you feel like you've ascertained any kind of higher knowledge or thought? Or do you feel nothing, which drives you to try to prove to yourself that there is no God by arguing with others who do believe?

Sorry for making such a serious point on a usually lighthearted forum, I just like to make myself clear. |

In the sense that I'm skeptical about the existence of deities, I suppose. I believe in evolution and the Big Bang Theory. So, in short, yes.
(You have no idea how much I wanted to go on longer for this. xDD) |
Nah, I can't say that I'm an atheist. I'm far from it, since I'm Roman Catholic (meaning I believe in the Pope; deal with it if you don't).
|
If I ever count myself as an atheist that severely reduces my chances of getting with any girl.
With that in mind, I don't think I'll be chasing atheism, thank you very much. |
