All I want to say is what's the point of not believing in a God? Why believe that when you die, everything is over, your left to enternal darkness? Having faith is important. You HAVE to believe in something. If you don't, what good does it do to live?

I'm atheist, mainly because I've seen all these religions, and none of them I actually believe. I don't think there's an afterlife. on the plus side, I don't like how people push their religions on me, and how just because I don't believe in anything means I worship satan. wtf.

I'm agnostic. I'm not sure what's disguised business plans or real religions.

I'm an Atheist, I suppose. Some would say a certain faith is a necessary crutch... but I believe that we human beings can walk without a crutch - on our own. Yeah. >_>

I don't think about the subject all that much. I guess you could say I'm a bit of an atheist, I suppose. I believe that life should not be governed by a set of rules from an invalid source. Of course, I understand most religions are based on principles to make your life more enjoyable - be a good neighbor, treat others how you'd life to be treated, etc. - I agree with all of those. However, I do not want a set of concrete rules governing my life that have absolutely no immediate consequences upon breaking them. Example - I have doubted my sexuality in the past, and I honestly still do. If I were to join almost any religious group and say that, I'd get told how my life choices were "wrong" and I needed to change them immediately in order for salvation. I firmly believe everyone should be accepted for who they are, how they act, and what they choose to do. If someone else does not agree with it, too bad for them. If it affects them in a negative/hurtful way, however, such as abuse or neglect, I believe action should be taken immediately.

I guess I'm sort of straying from the point of the thread, however. To make it short, if a God were to show up before me and tell me that they created everything, I'd say "Cool." and not try to prove them to be a Flying Spaghetti Monster. I am not going to devote my life to a faith that I honestly have never felt any connection with.

I'm an atheist and my beliefs on the subject can be summated as:

"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom too?" ~Douglas Adams

and Emily Dickinson:

"That it will never come again
Is what makes life so sweet."

I'm able to appreciate life more because I am the one in some trillion who made it. I made it to this blip and time and this time seems ever more precious and wonderful. I can see reasoning behind how we got here. I also love to argue against religion on a theoretical bases, but I'll hold my reservations here.

I have no idea where I stand religion wise.

I don't care where you stand, just don't stuff it down my throat in an attempt to convert me. :/

I'm very sorry to be a nitpicker, but...

Did Francis just say the Qu'ran is a cragged up version of the bible ?

My main problem with religion is that I can fathom how life began on Earth. I am the kind of person who questions everything and asks myself why I do something. If I feel uncomfortable doing something, I ask why. If I notice a trend in something I do, I ask myself why. I wonder about everything and need evidence from my own research. I question most everything I hear and look into it, if even briefly. I look into everything with unbiased reason, and if I feel like it, even biased reasoning from both sides. I practically live off reasoning and try to find a rational reason regardless of the probability.

What I find really ironic is that most people don't know the actual root of their religion. I actually find this concentrated in Christians (no offense). Just to give an example, my friend said supposedly Christianity started at the "dawn of time". How horribly ignorant. If that were so, than our universe is only two thousand years old. I'm not surprised how a lot of people don't know that Constantine created Christianity for the sole purpose of power.

And strangely enough, that same kid thinks that Christianity is older than Hinduism. And surprise surprise, guess what the three most ancient religions are? Judaism (somewhere along the line of 6000 years old), Zoastrianism (god knows [lol pun]) and Hinduism (Fairly ancient. I'd say around ten thousand years, from what I've read in my books).

As well, religious preachers must die. I mean, they claim their religion is better when they don't know shit about that other religion. Most preachers that I've seen and tried to convert me said this, and I quote, "You're worshipping the devil!". Say those words to my beutiful behind. I actually counter with a very valid argument, and I quote , "How do you know if you are not worshipping the devil yourself?" You know, the whole irony of this is that all religions, in general, actually tell you to lead a virtuous life. And we use that to fight against ourselves? Why? Because there's only one word we can use to describe the human race. Imbeciles.

There it was, my massive speech on racial ignorance.
