oh the ironing

Damn, can't get one over on you...

The Almighty Dollar (USD)

Free Thinker (Atheist)

This is the closest answer to reality for me, but it's still not much closer to reality than picking a religious answer.

Why do I have to choose from both ends of the spectrum? Toss "agnostic" into the poll and I'll vote.

Other - Church of David Blaine

Poll is flawed. Free-thinkers aren't necessarily atheists, and atheism should not be listed (or be listed as "none").

Not true. It takes faith to believe that a god doesn't exist.

 

[eits]

none.

i believe in God, but i don't believe in any religion.

"free thinker" should be agnostics

i clicked "other"

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

I disagree. All free thinkers are athiest. If you follow any diety then you are not a free thinker.

So you've contaminated your poll (D with your opinion, thus rendering your poll useless.

As she's said.

Who cares those parts just get to heaven faster praise Jesus in his infinite limb taking wisdom

That's fine for us true believers, but it still makes idocterin--err, recruiting new members a bit difficult.

You see a person who is a free thinker couldn't believe in a god, because theri is not rational reason too. Faith in a diety goes against what a free thinker is, because it is not based on logic or rationality.

You're citing an organization (a non-religion religion), as opposed to the definition of the words "free" and "thinker".

 

[zinfamous]

Firstly it's important to understand that "free thinker" is a completely invented term. Secondly, I don't think it's necessarily true that it's impossible to conclude there is a god based purely on rational and reasoned thought.

Also, I know people are talking shit when they use the word "logic" in a conversation like this - go back to school and learn what logic is, because there's no reason you couldn't logically believe in god.

:hmm:

You are starting to sound smarter than you used to sound...

also where is agnostic, by far the most reasonable take on religion?

agnostic: One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God


really, you don't know!

there are many different types of agnosticism.

:hmm:

do you mean gnosticism?

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

I don't care about religion. There's already enough hatred and death without religion. Why interject more unnecessary factors to have a reason to dislike another person based on differences?

"The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions, is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt. Doubt is humble and that is what man needs to be, considering that human history is just a litany of getting shit dead wrong." -- Bill Maher

I'm an atheist. I never said I believe god doesn't exist.

 

[daw123]

None.

 

[Kirby]

silly religion threads always result to arguing about semantics over what to call each other and what you identify with.

I'm not at all surprised by your lack of understanding of subtleties. Your intelligence has proven to be well below average in the past.

Thank you for continuing to prove that you don't know what you're talking about.
