I have no religion, but i'm a firm believer that there is a God, just don't know anything about it.
I guess that makes me an agnostic.
After 10 years of catholic school, with nuns and priests, i came to the conclusion that i don't really like catholicism or christanism or whatever. Can't quite make sense of the Bible and the belief systems people have organized with their religions. They try to convert people way to much and to justify this and that with it.
Yet i do enjoy discussing it, it has many interesting points, and a good friend of mine is becoming a priest next month. It will be the second time i'll attend a mass in about 14 or so years.

I'm an atheist, kinda saw through the thing after i learned more about how humans work. I never truly believed, i mean as a kid you were told specific things and being a kid i believed it. But that is a biological thing.

i don't believe in christian god, because he has a personality. it means he has a mind, a psyche, which by its nature is not eternal, because it's complex and tied to the time. you cannot think about something if you are... kinda outside of time. so i think, you should decide for yourself, whether god exists in time and therefore is not eternal or exists outside of time and therefore has no personality. in any case, bible is screwed up. as you might have guessed, i prefer to believe in the second version, where god has no personality.

i'm an atheistic agnostic. i'm atheist in the sense that i don't believe in any of the gods or religions that i have heard of (and i've heard of a lot because i was a religious studies minor in college). but i'm agnostic in the sense that i can't say for sure that god(s) do not exist.

Agnostic. If there is a God, we're too insignificant to be able to perceive or observe the supreme being. We're all going to rot in the ground and become worm food...as far as we know. Won't know the truth till we kick the bucket.

Grew up and raised in Chinese Folk Religion and Ancestor worship. Still practicing too.

Muslim.I strongly believe that every religion deserve to be respected and that includes dropping some certain behaviours that offends others ( making threat of burning other's holy books to acheive personal goals) .I hope you got what i meant to say.

Agnostic/Christian. I was raised Lutheran Christian and but went through an atheist stage in my preteen/teen years.
I belief in Christ but I always question certain aspects of the religion - but what person doesn't anyway?

I respect all religious choices and believe that everyone should find their own light and be happy with it. Although, it upsets me when people try to force their religion upon others or try to disprove that there is a God. Talk about comparing religion to fairytales gets on my nerves to. I'm not upset that they don't believe what I believe, I just hate it that they rub their beliefs and views into everyone's faces like they know everything. Expressing and explaining your views is one thing but bashing and attempting to disprove others are a whole other story...

Glad to see there is no arguments or debates in the thread and that everyone here has respect. It truly brought a smile to my face. smile

Muslim. And a devout one too. I do my prayers five times a day. I fast and I even wear a head scarf. I respect other religions and I'm a human lover, which should be considered natural if you are a muslim. eyes

muslim/agnostic
i was a muslim up until the age of 17 went to a mosque everyday and did everything i could for god but i began to lose my faith when i realized that the number of men and woman in world is more or less equal which came as a huge shock to me because i was always told that polygamy is allowed for men only because of the huge surplus of women
and i lost my faith completely when i realized that killing people who leave islam is halal meaning allowed and most of the time encouraged and its also halal to marry an 11 year old girl as long as she menstruated and she did not reject the husband these reasons coupled with several others allowed me to look at islam with a bit of clarity which is extremely hard to do for someone who was told about the horror's of hell and the beauty of heaven from a very young age
i do not mean to offend any muslims i realize that the reasoning of different people is different i just chose to explain the reasons for my views

I don't mean any disrespect, but don't all religions preach that kind of stuff? Everyone says it, but not everyone does it.

I have no religion. You could say I am rationally agnostic (since claiming knowledge of the existence of god(s) is itself nonsense) but emotionally atheistic (as in, I don't feel that god(s) exist)
If I have troubles in life or questions about my existence, I'd rather defer to the writings of great men who really gave thought to their words and the consequences they would have.
I have more trust in the writings of Plato and Aristotle to help me answer/examine questions about life than something that is pretty much a short story collection from the bronze age.
It's fine as a historic literary work, but as a source of wisdom, not so much.
The only religion I would consider converting to is Buddhism. Mostly because I respect it as a philosophy of life and ethics. Which is not something I can say for most other religions, with their silly rituals and things.

I'm an atheist- I woke up one day, after six years as Wiccan and a prior childhood of being vaguely Christian, realizing that it was rather obvious that there is no creator god (or any other kind of deity). I thank my interest in the subjects that deal with 'thinking about thinking/life/existance' for that realization. Religion fascinates me though, and some belief systems are built on very respectable philosophies.
