October 31, 201114 yr You guys understand there's a difference between atheism and agnosticism, right? I doubt they do
October 31, 201114 yr OK. I just thought I'd ask because people group them all the time, which annoys me because they're not the same. Basically, atheists don't believe in deities (or at least there is an absence of such a belief), while agnostics think the presence of a deity can't be proven or disproven (and is, therefore, unknown).
October 31, 201114 yr OH ok thanks for clearing that up for me :nice: I was never really sure. I'm agnostic then :D
October 31, 201114 yr I am agnostic I am a person who search I was born Catholic. My mother's family is very Catholic from grandmother so much that it has called as name "crucified" but it is a name given to girls from generation to generation. and my mother supports, every day she hates the name, prefer called Christina . yes horrible fanatic of religion catholic in my family . but for me I am not Christian because refer religion Catholic = Christianity. started just after Jesus died (a bit like the end of Christianity and not beginning because put many new religions by the people ) and I think it was part of the line of David , Solomon so maybe it was a king Jesus. anyone can say is he wants and do their religions. through the Bible. but for example some apothres anti feminist and alcoholics. and the bible the story of life advice on life . My believe . so but religions should be staff free no Influencing people, like priests, pastors or rabbis etc and the religions called dictact because is the war always in the history, because anyone have the answer in the name of God. I want to believe that there is a God as a force-strong for good and love = God a father of good is something like this for me .
October 31, 201114 yr I'm not sure what to consider myself. I'm open to the ideas and practices of a few different religions. but I guess Christian for the most part... :shrug:
October 31, 201114 yr Ive been brought up christian. i believe in god and all that and heaven, but i also believe everything happens for a reason. and everything is pre-destined. i also sorta believe we are our own gods and that the test of life is following our own morals and living up to what we think is right.
October 31, 201114 yr I'll be an agnostic atheist just to annoy violet weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :awesome: Well I actually am though, I don't believe in a deity personally but open to the idea of the existence of deities, but its unknowable and therefore irrelevant. But yes violet is right about the term 'agnostic/atheist' you have to be either one of those, agnostic atheist or agnostic theist. But yeah you can see why they get lumped together just from that last sentence. lul
October 31, 201114 yr I was bought up Catholic but when I was older and formed my own opinions about things I didn't agree with Christianity at all, I would say more Spiritual but not religious, according to the last UK Census I'm a Sith though:laugh3:.
November 1, 201114 yr You guys understand there's a difference between atheism and agnosticism, right?Thanks for bringing that up. That's why I said agnosticism or atheism and religions. Some religious people are so ignorant when it comes to other religions or other views of life. I was baffled last summer when a friend of mine who I invited over for dinner started talking about a guy who was a horrible person according to her. He was rude, without any moral, selfish, just a complete ass all together. Then she finish-up with saying: "basically he was one of these 'atheists', you know, atheists are without empathy, morals, and anti-social. The worst kind of people to walk the earth." Me and the others just sat there flabbergasted. I knew the one sitting beside me used to be a Muslim but was now like me an atheist leaning towards agnosticism. And she knew I was kind of the same. So after a painful silence I felt I had to say:"Atheists is just a word to describe people who don't believe in God. That's all." She turned out to really not know what atheism stood for and thought of them as psychopaths. Thank you whoever priest that has been preaching that to her! :angry:
November 1, 201114 yr I'm Roman Catholic, but I'm not what you would call an exemplary Christian. :shame:
November 1, 201114 yr I'm an agnostic, Ive been brought up Christian but I don't believe in God and I'm annoyed by Church and Pope and all of them.
November 1, 201114 yr Christian, but I feel like I just say that because my whole family is. I hope to be more religious as I get older.
November 1, 201114 yr I'm not religious... never really was. I guess you could say I'm agnostic, though I don't really like to label myself as anything when it comes to religion
