There is no evidence for anything... Outside of people's brains of course.
This is the point that most seem to forget. Just because something has no evidence does not make it impossible. Logical inconsistencies can be found for specific premiseses but to think that the lack of empiric data proves the non-existence of a phenomena is incorrect.

Currently an atheistic pantheist but willing to consider panenthiesm.

I file myself under apathetic agnosticism.

There's six pages here that are a good explanation of why I am.

What else could God be other than everthing in the universe. The masters true teachings tell us not to pray unless YOU feel you have sinned , NO praying on Sunday worship. Religion only brings guilt were there should be none. The time to pray and fast is set aside for Brides chamber. Religion teaches guilt . We don't need that and it stops you from finding self. Inside of self God resides.

One could say since I deny religion I am a form of what they call an anti-chtist . They being the powers that be and the ones who have hidden empirical knowledge from us for their own gain . Selfish bastards.

this thread title and poll don't sync up.

yes, i believe in God.

no, i'm not religious because i hate religion.

the poll implies that belief in a god = being religious. they're not mutually inclusive of each other.
This.

Also, all the misspellings of the word "believe" is making baby jesus cry.

Are you proud of that wall of words that I'm not even going to finish reading? I started to read and then saw you telling me what you judge as wrong again. Again, I don't know why you feel so self appointed to do that, nor do I give a flying shit.

Ass handed to me...If you say so....whatever. Go back and read the other thread. All it entailed was immature insults by you and I don't recall a response nor did I want one as it would be coming from you.

Go learn some common courtesy. Your responses are on the same level of a child not getting what he/she wants. Is your latest response part of the actual discussion going on?

Are you going to tell me that these threads don't cause the same concerns and consequences that drove politics/news and love/relationship threads to separate areas?

Let me sum it up this way: you have proven yourself a contributing troll and even if not fitting that definition to the letter you are acting like one rude and self righteous a-hole...that's my one and only insult to you.

Don't bother responding; I don't fucking want to hear it.

For not giving a shit you sure seem to whine like a little bitch about it a lot. I love you proving me exactly right though.

Let me sum it up to you: cry moar.

You even quote stupidly.

I don't keep with any of the old gods. The new ones, however...

You just couldn't stop...could you?

You respond with yet another typical response entailing typical trollish language....have fun living your ignorant life. I'm not an expert but usually people that attack others for no apparent reason are usually very unhappy with their lives and themselves.

I'm sorry if the only self gratification you can get is from trolling on an internet forum. unfortunately for you, you continue to confirm everything that's been previously said/observed.

Let me sum it up to you:

  • Answer my question. (Are you going to tell me that these threads don't cause the same concerns and consequences that drove politics/news and love/relationship threads to separate areas?)
  • AGAIN, learn some common courtesy...or....if you just don't have it in you...
  • eat a dick
  • jump off nearest tall building
To answer the original OP's question...no, I'm not really religious. I have nothing against someone who is.

Also, congrats, you got the results you were looking for when posing this question and he enthusiastically played the game. It's apparent that these religous threads really bring out the best in people as evidenced by this obviously highly mature and educated contributing poster.

Do you believe in god, or not? Simple question. The answer may not be easy or simple, but you gotta have a feeling. This second, what's your answer? If "No" is the answer often enough for you to not be religious, then you should really just be an atheist.

I am not religious, and do not believe in any kind of higher power. I acknowledge that the possibility exists that there could be such (either singular or multiple), but until there is any evidence whatsoever that such exists I'm not going to bother "believing" in it.

love it.

There is a giant, invisiable, purple bunny standing right behind you right now.

No, im serious, you can't prove its not there.

Pretty solid argument, right?

If you've got a billion people influenced by said bunny; people with empirical evidence of the social influence of said bunny... well it's in would be dishonest to deny the bunny's influence on society or dismiss who've been personally moved by said bunny.


Pasta, bunny, hat... imagine what you will; but what you imagine changes your will.

There are a billion people with empirical evidence of the social influence of Santa Claus. Hence, Santa Claus is probably real.
