State your theological standing (Atheist, Agnostic, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Zoroastrian, etc).
This is not a debate thread. This is so we can meet like minded people.
If anybody starts a religious debate in this thread, I will personally flag every comment and spam the moderators inboxes until they close the thread.
Atheist here.
Theological convictions
"what is a Zorastrian ?Zoroastrianism is an Iranian religion. I thought I'd throw it in there just in case there was any here.
you might want to repost this post in the religion page so that people can easily look it up when its no longer on the "newest topics" page"
Freddy Mercury was a Zoroastrian.
"Ummm....i dont know if i fit in here :(. I beleive in god, im just not really sure who he is though."You sound like a Deist.
Deism is the belief that a supernatural god exists, and created the universe, but does not intervene in it's regular operation.
More detail may be necessary however.
I believe there is a God in some form. How we are linked together and how our relationship fits into the overall scheme of existence are questions I am still adventuring.

"I woulnd't call myself an Atheist cause i believe there is a possibility that god and all that exists.
So no religion here."
So maybe you're an agnostic? FTA - agnostics do not have to believe that you cannot know whether God exists. As an agnostic, I don't know whether God exists, nor whether it can be proven.

Creation in 7 days.
Reincarnation
Afterlife including heaven/hell
Immortal/omnipotent/omniscient beings that have been to Earth
Miracles

So maybe you're an agnostic? FTA - agnostics do not have to believe that you cannot know whether God exists. As an agnostic, I don't know whether God exists, nor whether it can be proven.

"xruntime said:Yeah. There are two kinds of Agnostics - people who just don't know, and elitists who want to offend both Atheists and Religious people at the same time by telling them they're both wrong."Vision said:Oh well i had never heard of Agnostics before so i just went with half Atheist or something like that. :P""I woulnd't call myself an Atheist cause i believe there is a possibility that god and all that exists.

Bill Maherdom. He and I have the same exact views. I am not an atheist, I simply acknowledge my own (and everyone else's) ignorance. We simply do not know.
"adam_grif said:Month old post, but I can cover that quickly as I've known a few. Basically what they do is call both atheists who do not believe and the religious who do believe foolish for doing either because they ultimately believe that no proof of something proves neither that it doesn't exist or it does exist.. and while that's all well and good, it's interesting how they fail to acknowledge the fact that if you live your life on the fence about EVERYTHING, it's really difficult to get even a foothold's progress for either side. We would accomplish nothing and learn nothing if the world was to function in the way that these people expect.elitists who want to offend both Atheists and Religious people at the same time by telling them they're both wrong.How does that work?"
