I know this can be a touchy subject, and i'm not looking to start a religion argument. I'm just wondering what the mix is in the Planetside community. You don't have to let anyone know. You don't have to make any posts (unless you want to)
Also, while I don't think anyone would do this, I don't want anyone to to advertise or push their religion on anyone in this thread. Mods, if you don't think this post/poll is appropriate, feel free to close/delete the thread without any explanation. I'll understand.

Agnostic. I don't have time to or care enough to believe in anything.
I'm also not Atheist because I view them as douchebags. People have their own opinions on religion but most atheists I know say "NA AHH THERE IS NO GAWDD PROOVE IT IM SOO RIGHT NUUUURRGHH" I don't like them man. |

You can reject the label for whatever weird reason, but you are what you are. |

In the recent census i put that i follow pragmatic agnosticism. As it fits my beliefs best
"The view that there is no proof of either the existence or nonexistence of any deity, but since any deity that may exist appears unconcerned for the universe or the welfare of its inhabitants, the question is largely academic." |

Father brought me up as a Catholic. Went to church every Sunday till I was like 10 or so along with CCD. I never go much anymore or go along with the Catholic teachings but I still believe in a higher power along the Christian belief system.

The words "atheist" and "agnostic" are terrible and seem to mean totally different things to different people. Is militancy an intrinsic part of being an atheist? Is an atheist someone who is somehow certain there isn't a god? Do agnostics think it's a 50/50 shot at there being a god as opposed to not? How about the terms "soft atheist" and "hard atheist", or "agnostic atheism" versus "gnostic atheism"?
I am not religious and I don't believe there is a god, although there might be. But if there is, we have not discovered any evidence of its existence yet. I reject the label of atheist or agnostic or anything else as I believe having to label myself to indicate a lack of belief pretty stupid. What do we call people who don't believe in unicorns? Am I an aunicornist too? As for my own perspective on it, I find every religion I'm aware of to be fairly obviously man-made and entirely unimpressive in its own right. On the other hand, I think the need for religion in some people speaks to some part of our evolution, and touches upon a real need within us as people. For that reason, I don't out-of-hand denigrate religious observance, but I do take exception to it when it infiltrates politics. For example, religious objections to the distribution of contraception, or the legalization of abortion, or gay marriage. But if someone finds some sort of comfort and solace in a particular religion within the confines of their private life, so be it. We all have a spiritual side to us in some sense. How different is secular meditation and reflection from theistic prayer, anyway? Last edited by Warborn; 2012-02-12 at 12:58 PM. |

Atheist.
And the reason is: Nobody can prove anything. Even science doesn't know its arse from its tit! I believe what I see, hear feel and experience. But fuck that we all could be in the matrix and we would know no different! But the one thing I do believe in is good people, regardless of how they got here. Good people are what makes life worth living, whatever life may be! There are a few good egg's round here! and 99% of you are on my friends list! LONG LIVE THE GOOD PEOPLE!! (there is nothing more) Morto. PS. Pssssst!.......... no memory before you where born?..... it will be the same when your gone! <3 |

Scientific inquiry tells us quite a bit about how the world works, and it tells us more and more every year. Is it the only way of interpreting things? Nah. That's why philosophy is something that exists as well. Acting like scientists are just fumbling around in the dark while typing a message for the world to see on the Internet is unintentionally pretty hilarious.
