are you religious ?

[RonD1120 62]

I have trouble identifying with the term religious. To me that means someone who adheres to and follows traditional ritual practices. I am not very good at doing that.

And for you, stevebabin, yes I have faith and belief in the supernatural. In that realm there is good and evil, positive and negative.

One of the Gifts of the Spirit, 1 Cor. 12, the gift of discerning of spirits.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I think if you would have just put the descriptions there without the labels, than you'd have a better result.

For example - of the bottom four or five I'd only call the very bottom one atheist, and the rest of that area is agnostic.

And the top three are pretty much theist.

Avoid the labels, and you get less SC type contention

I'd be an atheist by your breakdown, and I refuse to accept that label which I consider absolute.

What he said. I consider myself pretty strongly agnostic, and don't typically consider the label "atheist" applicable to my suspicions. However your system would label me as atheist, and most definitely not agnostic.

that said, I clicked "atheist" in the spirit of what the OP was trying to do



I'm militarily agnostic - I just don't care and I want to make sure that everybody around knows it dammit ....... if they really want to,....if not.......that's ok too....or not....whatever

I just want to be very definitive in my apathy - like a rock.....sorta


Edit: and just some pedantoranticity for Keely. I'd like to restate this category:

I depends mostly on my mood whether I'm atheistic or agnostic, but since I'm an apatheist I don't really care about that.

I'm pretty sure God is evil. I looked into becoming a Maltheist but they don't have a very good softball league and their potlucks suck.

Hey Steve whats up - we are a some of our total minds - we need to build in order to level our selves and we need to think perjectivaly so GOD can relate - If we think out how we can build best as we are designed - we might be able to see our true nature in our disign around the conflict- - I think GOD says to look for him past those things that are false - If you find spiritual fullfillment -away from bad science - but rather seek the better science - we can see an image map that tells us to look for power through kindness and love - war is very limited but honor breaths for a country as she is set in freedom - truth speaks of the stars, for we know GOD would not be sexualy absent having desighned a form that has no sickness - and seeing sickness and death by strengthning past the mud and seeing North we can surly see that GOD has a number enemies- I hope that most people can learn strongly about them selves and see a plan that does not intend for pain or WAR - and if you believed in GOD you would KNow that he or even she would be right along side most of you fighting as well.

Wow! That is a pretty incoherent paragraph of sorts.

What is this word supposed to be >> perjectivaly

is it supposed to be >> we need to think projectively so GOD can relate ??? If so that makes no sense at all. The rest of your writing is equally confusing..

I think we should eliminate multiple definitions for words in the dictionary...why not just come up with new words?

one word, one definition...simple.

But then still have problems like this:

Beowulf: Atheism is about reasoning. Religions are about faith.

Coreece: Atheism is about not believing in God.

Beowulf: Ah yes the old semantics argument, rather then trying to understand what I meant.


Perhaps dictionaries should be sold with telepathy crystals...

Well you don't know me that well.


Atheism is about not believing in god. Which in a broader sense means disbelief in the supernatural.

Reasoning is how I came to the conclusion that gods don't exist.

Religions are about organized belief in a supernatural being or beings based on faith.

That's your interpretation of the word. In the Western world atheism usually implies the absence of any belief in the supernatural, but strictly spoken atheism is only about the existence of gods (whatever the hell "gods" are)

[beowulf 1]

Well "gods" are generally considered to be supernatural so while I did add a little to it, it wasn't that much of a stretch.

To be more accurate this is what I should have said.

Which in a broader sense in my case means disbelief in the supernatural not just gods.
