Right now, I've reconciled that with a mix of faith and developing wisdom of the levels of scuminess we can achieve that counterpoint grace. Or something like that anyway.

I'm an Agnostic/Atheist, but I lean more towards Agnosticism. I have a severe doubt in the validity of a God... but I have the strangest feeling I'm wrong. My mind says that there is no God, but somewhere in the back of my mind, there's a little man telling me to have faith. So I'm not exactly cut & paste on the subject.
But I do say, I find most religions quite silly. So if I had more faith in God, I would probably just be a Deist, or something mellow, like Buddhist. In fact, I do have some Buddhist leanings. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Watching this thread. It is our experiences in the past several incarnations of this community, that these religion threads get out of hand eventually and need to be locked. I am considering a pre-emptive locking. I also see this thread was started not to be informational, but as a way for the original poster to express his own beliefs. I would suggest to the OP to go to the national census bureau where the accurate statistics of US religion is gathered.

I can see a lot of this in how you lay out your posts. You seem to be very well educated, or at least, are willing to educate yourself on a subject before you make a concrete descision. It's good to see that you decided to post in this thread, My mind is the Pink Zippo that sits on top of a pack of Camel Wides. |

Main Entry: athe·ist : one who believes that there is no deity Main Entry: ag·nos·tic 1: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god I personally identify myself as an athiest. But the reality is that most atheists are, atleast partly agnostic at heart. Since there is really no such thing as 100% I will say that I am 98% atheist and 2% agnostic. The 2% is realization that it is possible that the FSM is real. I don't view the fact that I would call my self an atheist agnostic as making me any less of an atheist anymore than you calling yourself a protestant christian would make you any less of a christian. Bannister That can only mean one thing. And I don't know what it is. |

GB, I'd understand if you locked the thread, especially if you've seen previous ones get out of hand. The last thing we need is more kvetching.

Atheism basically means that I don't have a belief in any gods. I'm also agnostic in a sense in that I lack knowledge. You could call me agnostic atheist. As for my involvement, I want to get involved with some politics. Nowadays there are many issues in America that are tied with religion such as abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, intelligent design in classrooms, prayer in schools, etc. I'd like to make our presence known basically. Anyway Grungebob, if you want to close down this topic then that's fine. True I want to talk about my beliefs (or lack of rather), but I'd like to hear about others' as well. As for conversion, well I doubt anyone would get converted by reading a short post on a message board for a children's board game. |

What's with all the talk of locking this thread??? This thread can't be locked.
We have this! Bannister That can only mean one thing. And I don't know what it is. |

Yeah, I don't think this thread needs to be locked. Yet.
Anyways, I am one of those darn blue and true Mormons. (And yes, we are Christians.) Perhaps I can find a less provocative subject out of this. For all members of this thread, what would you say that your level of religious education is? Today Religion is one of the driving factors in not just America, but in the whole world. Books like the Bible and Koran have stayed on the International bestsellers list for years, statesmen often make decisions based on their religious beliefs, and wars are fought of religious differences. Personally, I believe that knowledge of world religions is just as important as knowing world history or geography. So, what would you say you know about Religion?
