Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?
Atheist. It annoys me how people will get so superior about being agnostic. I look at what evidence exists and make a decision based on that. I have yet to see any solid evidence for a god but plenty to support science which is contradictory to most religions. For this reason I believe that there is no god. There is no evidence to support the existence of a god and it seems like a ridiculous concept, so although it is possible, I am an atheist because I believe that there is no god.
Buddhism is the best known of those to anyone who's read this and is wondering for an example.(Original post by Psyk)
What if you're a religious agnostic atheist? That's not actually a contradiction, as some religions don't involve a god.Last edited by Jallenbah; 13-05-2011 at 21:26. -
Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?I normally use this framework, but since the OP wrote 'Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?' I decided to follow that framework instead.(Original post by SteveCrain)
If there is an opposite of atheism it is theism, not religiosity
people cannot seem to comprehend this
(Please be a little less quick to jump to such feelings of superiority). -

Religious. And I'm not going to leave. Ever. -
Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?No. Reported.(Original post by josh231990)
Unintelligent/ignorant/both. -
Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?Yes - reported for what exactly? Telling the truth, like a good atheist. I thought so. Go read a book written by incoherent, illogical, irrational sand-dwellers, and realise it's a STORY with NO REALISTIC relevance. Believing in any god/supernatural being is the adult equivalent of the toothfairy.(Original post by mevidek)
No. Reported. -
Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?god, you're an idiot.(Original post by josh231990)
Yes - reported for what exactly? Telling the truth, like a good atheist. I thought so. Go read a book written by incoherent, illogical, irrational sand-dwellers, and realise it's a STORY with NO REALISTIC relevance. Believing in any god/supernatural being is the adult equivalent of the toothfairy.
You remind me very much of extremist theists.

Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?You know nothing about me, so gtfo and learn to stop prejudicing.(Original post by josh231990)
THAT was an idiotic comment. You remind me of someone that doesn't actually think about the world rationally.
FYI, I believe in the big bang and evolution. -
Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?He probably reported you because you were kind of being a d**k. Believe it or not, many intelligent, educated people are theists. Also, you have no idea what his religion is in the first place.(Original post by josh231990)

Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?I have no idea what religion is? Right. Next joke please? If a religious person truly knew what religion was, they wouldn't be religious.(Original post by ÜberHeathen)

Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?First of all, claiming to "believe" in the big bang and evolution is itself a STUPID comment - they are far far from belief systems and faith. Nothing any supernaturalist/religious person claims means a thing anymore, apart from mildly entertaining bedtime stories.(Original post by mevidek)

Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?Read it again smart***, I said you don't know what his religion is.(Original post by josh231990)

Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?Goodness gracious me, some people really believe they know everything. Just GTFO and have a ****.(Original post by josh231990)

Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?Good point, my mistake. It doesn't matter what religion he believes in; the fact he believes in any in the first place is ridiculous and it IS illogical, unintelligent and ignorant of reality.(Original post by ÜberHeathen)
Read it again smart***, I said you don't know what his religion is. -
Re: Religious, Agnostic or Atheist?Again; not a 'belief'. I do know, for absolute certain, that religion and the supernatural are manifestations of primitive psychological needs. Here's a good analogy to think about; a child can believe in Santa Claus completely, and even be excited at the fact, but that doesn't make it true. The supernatural and ANY god hypothesis/religion are manifestations people conjure because they can't leave their childhood psychological needs - i.e. immature, ignorant, pathetic.(Original post by mevidek)
