Re: What religion are you?

I am an atheist.

A theist being defined as "one who has a belief in one or more divinities".

I am atheist ... a... the suffix meaning without.

Ergo, I am without belief in one or more divinities.

An atheist.

Re: What religion are you?

I was raised as nothing, I also didn't undergo the ritual where they poor water over your head. My dad was raised in a deeply religious Catholic family from Holland and my mother was raised in a family of polish descent, with a deeply religious Catholic mother and a self-described 'liberal' father (although you won't hear him saying that to his wife).

Re: What religion are you?

I'm unconcerned. I'm open to the possibility of some sort of consciousness beyond what we can understand, and the possibility of existence after death. I also know that there's no way I can ever really know, so I take a "be excellent to each other" approach. If it turns out that one of the religions is accurate, and there's a god/God that's pissed off at me because I didn't believe, well, honestly I'm not sure that I'd want to spend an eternity with an all-powerful and all-knowing being that's so insecure.

Re: What religion are you?

I grew up Southern Baptist. Was a Presbyterian for a little while, the a UCC. HAven't been to church in a while since going to one involves a 45 minute drive to the nearest college town. The little townss here in my county have a church on every corner but I'm not allowed in them, being an abomination and all. I suppose now I've gotten used to being unchurched. I still pray and read the bible. I guess if I had to label myself I'd just say "Protestant"

Re: What religion are you?

I am anti-religion but completely believe in an intelligent source (Absolute) to all things.

All religions are man made and couldn’t possibly have anything to do with any logical God.

Besides Captain Trips, Kinetic and Hank, I remember you as the most religious person I've had the pleasure to converse with on this forum.

Just goes to show how little one gets to know another person on a faceless internet. Or?
