Wow, usually ppl can't shut up about religion around here, and we get the one diseased little cvnt who is too much of a coward to so much as say what he follows.

fabulous ad hominem. too bad it proves that my initial assertion (that i was demanding the OP add new options to his poll) was correct and your idiot response was wrong. so, in the future, before randomly calling someone a puss, why dont you think for a second. and btw, at this point, i wouldn't give you the privilege of hearing the name of my religion. now you can go ahead and say something ignorant and lame and offensive about me. go ahead. but bear in mind i wont bother checking back to see the stupidity of your response.

Wow... only took you... 7 posts to act with a modicum of civility. And you decided not to respond to what I have to say to appear to be the "winner" of this argument. Were it not for the fact that 99.99% of times online this is not a true statement, I'd be quite pleased at the moment.

As for why you're a puss, that was for not speaking up about adding a specific option for your mystery religion of choice, instead demanding the invisible "Results/other" option and chosing to hide behind that instead of speak up. Unless you are under persecution by the laws of your country for practicing your religion, there is no reason in the world not to acknowledge it. Thus, copping out and voting "other" adds nothing to the discussion. Since the OP has not added this option after your vitrolic crusade, we can most likely assume that he's interested in ACTUAL results and opinions, instead of a tally of those who fear to hold them. Witness his adding of Sikhism, Daoism, Jainism at the behest of other posters. As you lack the spine to simply stand up and be counted for your glorious religion, I dub you a puss.

Oh, and I applaud the OP for not adding a "results" option like so many polls here. This at least makes certain that those who wish to see what everyone else thinks will have to make an actual decision/admission.

I don't believe in god, but I am able to respect and celebrate other peoples' beliefs...but I would never call myself atheist.

i don't see how you can not call yourself atheist. atheism has nothing to do with hate or whining about religions. some atheists might hate and whine about religions, but that's a separate issue.

tell that to the atheists...no matter how you define it, i don't want to be associated with those type of people.

it's a mixture of belief, pride, and psycho-establishment..."I don't believe in X, you do. It makes sense that my beliefs are better, therefore, I am better than you because you are sheep. The fact that disbelief is another form of sheeping is acceptable, because science is our god, etc etc."

Um, you obviously don't know too many Atheists.

Besides, like Gopunk said, that trait isn't a part of the definition of Atheism. You don't believe in God... this makes you an Atheist. Which just goes on to prove that not all Atheists are "those kind of people" seeing as how you are an Atheist and you aren't "those type of people."

And I'm an Atheist. Would you associate me with "those kind of people?" You can see me defending people who are religious on this board. I have done it plenty of times. And my best friend goes to Church twice a week. Almost every Atheist I know is respectful of other peoples beliefs (in fact, the only ones who aren't are some in the "Goth" crowd I have seen, and they have more problems than just being disrespectful of religion).

Your lableing all Atheists as "those kind of people" is just plain incorrect.

where's "results" or "other"

also, where's your flamesuit?

I don't want a "results" option. Vote what you are.

So if I don't have what you are up there, tell me what it is and I'll put it up.

I'm beginning to see everyone and their points. It's true, the only atheists i've been around can't stop talking about how much better they are because they don't believe in god. I'm an asian that grew up going to catholic school for a couple years, have a buddhist mother, and joining a jewish fraternity in college, so i've always been around people that are religious and value it. what has always stood out were those damn loudmouth atheists...always arguing in "that corner of the party" about how wrong people are. this is the first time i've ever talked about religion, and i'm pretty sure it's my last.

as per my original stereotype...i'm changing it to loudmouth college atheists that are fueled with whines and hatred.

Atheism/agnostic, I don't "know" that there is no god, I can't prove there is no god. I just don't think that the "burden of proof" should lie on me.

Sounds good to me.

I think you should add the option "No Religion Preference." I personally consider atheism as a type of religion just which does not believe in a "God." I personally have no religion preference and do not consider myself a member of any of the choices that you have provided.

Athiesm is not a Religon you spooge!

Technically, without proof that a god does not exist, it takes faith to believe that one does not -just like it takes faith to believe that one does. So athiesm can be considered a religion because it can be based on faith --just like evolution.

😉

I hate to say it, but that's a pile of horseshit. It doesn't take faith to not believe in God; it just takes the common sense of not jumping to conclusions without evidence.

eh lets try to avoid the flamefest... ffmcobalt is right in some sense though, it does require faith in logic and common sense when the rest of the world goes against it. think about if you woke up one day and the entire world had gone mad. it would require some modicum of faith to keep believing that you were sane, year after year. 😉 imo, of course.

😕

One does not need "faith" to "believe" in common sense and logic. That's just plain silly.
