1. Yes, actually

:hi:

[philosophie_en_rose]

2. pretty much. I truly don't believe in any religion.

It's just not a part of my life, and I certainly don't subscribe to any establish religion.

But I don't rule out that there are phenomena that are beyond my understanding.

Just because I don't think Christianity, Scientology, Unification Church, etc. are true, doesn't mean that I couldn't believe in something provided with enough articulable facts to reasonably infer a supernatural phenomenon. :)

6. That would be me

I get a tad more detailed in the atheists thread, but what philosophie said sort of describes me.

7. Militant pagan agnostic here--

Motto--"I don't know, damnit!" Except on Fridays, when I am a Discordian. And eat hot dog buns. With jam. No hot dogs. Unless I forget, and just have bracciole, a little red wine, and maybe some good cheese. (what can I say, pagan agnostics eat good?)

8. Happily, I can post in both threads, being an agnostic atheist.

I don't have any knowledge of gods existing (due to the lack of evidence), and thus don't believe in any of them (which is not the same as believing in their nonexistence without evidence).

11. Pretty much.

Organized religion doesn't appeal to me, but I'm not opposed to the idea of a higher power(s).

[last_texas_dem]

12. Yup

I think I've basically been one for as long as I could consider the question of the existence of God, and there's a fair chance I'll always feel this way.

14. another one here

not sure if there is a God or not - but . . .

does it make a difference in how we should live our lives? I think not.

15. i'm not sure

16. Here

But I do have spiritual feelings like the Native Americans felt and worshiped all things around them. I truly do not believe in any of the bible teachings or any religion's teachings. If you notice, different countries and cultures each have their own religions that conveniently apply what their leaders in ancient times wanted society to believe, obey and to collect $$$. Also, with science and technology still evolving, people had to think of ways to explain the things that they couldn't understand. Examples, natural disasters, plagues, droughts, etc. Science has proven that these are natural occurrences rather than a "punishments from God" and much like our parents used the boogeyman to scare us into coming home at night, using Santa Claus to scare us into being good and how in the movie "The Village" they dressed up as monsters to scare people into not going into the woods, religions in my opinion were created to do the same.
To sum it all up, it's my belief that man made God, not the other way around as you notice that nearly every major and dominant religion in different cultures. states that if you do not believe and obey then you are damned. I notice too that nearly every religion's God is a manlike figure with supernatural powers.

18. I always enjoyed the Greek & Roman gods

There was a wild lot! Lots of infighting, sex, & betrayals all between a bunch of rowdy gods. They were fun. The gods that people made up afterwords always seemed like lonely psychopaths by comparison.

17. Good copycat. And you can count me among them.

:hi: My mother is religious but not a fundie, so she brought us up attending church (Presbyterian). I stopped going when I turned 18. I started questioning Christianity when I was in my teens and went through a period of self-examination and examination of what religion meant and what it had to offer. I came to the conclusion that although there may indeed be a "higher power", I can never know for sure and am not going to spend my time worshipping a God that I think is an artificial construct.

That's not to say I'm not a spiritual person, because I am. I feel very close to nature and the world around me. However, I'm not religious. My husband believes in God but not in organized religion.
