I know there is one of these knocking about, but its been started so long that half the people who voted aren't active anymore. First things first - your religion doesn't matter to your contributing to AE
 Secondly, if I have offended any religion by splitting Islam and Christianity into two groups, its simply because this site is dominated by Christians and Muslims.
Thirdly, if I offended anyone's religion by not categorising it incorrectly, I assure you its out of ignorance, not intent

Hahahaha. I think this was from San Francisco or something. It is really sad, not to mention blasphemous. I wonder if they will still be worshiping him by the time of the next election? Will he still be their messiah or rather a fallen angel?

Ignostic. Defined as someone who wants an actual MEANINGFUL DEFINITION of "god" before even getting started on the question of whether there is one. Also, something of an Existentialist--Monist. ------------- Who is the great dragon whom the spirit will no longer call lord and god? "Thou shalt" is the name of the great dragon.

That's not true, pinguin. When you just don't care you are careless. From Wikipedia: "Agnosticism is the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy - philosophical view that the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_value - truth value of certain claims — particularly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics - metaphysical claims regarding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theology - theology , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterlife - afterlife or the existence of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deity - deities , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghosts - ghosts , or even ultimate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality - reality — is unknown or, depending on the form of agnosticism, inherently impossible to prove or disprove. It is often put forth as a middle ground between theism and atheism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism#cite_note-0 - ." Said in somewhat simpler terms it means we have no way of knowing whether or not the truths of religion are valid, hence it doesn't make sense to neither believe in nor deny them. This is my own personal view although I agree with the atheists and Richard Dawkins in that believing a flying spaghetti monster exists in a distant galaxy simply because it can't be disproven makes less sense than not believing in what we have had no clear evidence of. Of course discourse is pointless since it always comes back to wishful thinking in the end. We are too afraid of non-existence and the absence of universal justice to ever believe in what is most likely. ------------- |

I'm no specific religion with a label. I'm not an atheist but i don't think any of the main religions really represent me nor do i need one to communicate with a god. I would probably stick with Plato if i lived in another time. Or maybe i should say i'm more into mother earth, Gaia, Gameter, Cybele, Yemaya and the rest of the names that were given to the force surrounding us. -------------

I'm just an animist, and not a practicing one. It just feels nice to call my car a "she". All the religion anyone needs, right there. If you need to be religious, all you need is to be able to anthropomorphize the physical world around you and attribute intent and consciousness to it. Everything else that the major religions added on, including their superspirits (deities), theology and all that - its not necessary, its just there to enslave minds. Of course, most people don't really understand their religion and actually are animists without realizing it. Take Christianity. Most Christians think God inhabits all matter and energy, they go to heaven when they die, and being good matters. Wrong, wrong, and wrong, according to Christianity. God is a person with a physical form - the notion of an animative, creative principle is Greco-Roman in origin and got attached to Christianity later on. The dead never go to heaven ... they rise bodily from the grave and, if they are lucky, get to live in New Jerusalem (which is city that floats down out of the sky and lands on earth). And good works are encouraged, but in the final verdict, don't matter even a little - all that matters is belief in Christ (which, according to the bible, is predestined! Free will has practically no biblical support except one ambiguous passage, but there are dozens supporting predestination). Crazy stuff! |

Agnostic of Catholic moulding. And by moulding I mean the creation of a profound disillusionment with religion that is going to be pretty hard to shake. Someone who doesn't care, in my experience, is anybody who believes in something (whether it be God, Gods, or nothing) but hasn't a clue about what they believe in. Like a Catholic because he was born so, or an Atheist because he doesn't bother to think about it. ------------- |

I was brought up Lutheran and some Greek Orthodox and attended a Baptist elementry school but now I accept any belief as long as they follow the godlen rule and respect other beliefs as equal in society. I also recognize the Christian roots of my nations but I am a strong believer in freedom of religion or no religion; as long as you respect other views, right to religion, and live in peace. ------------- Λοιπόν, αδελφοί και οι συμπολίτες και οι στρατιώτες, να θυμάστε αυτό ώστε μνημόσυνο σας, φήμη και ελευθερία σας θα ε |
