Webbo Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 personally an atheist.even more so after seeing this CLICK SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE I got to about 2mins through and got bored. If you don't want to believe in god then don't, why have you got to try and force your opinions on others? PS I very much doubt the existence of god.
andyh1884 Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 What's agnostic? I'm voting for that Agnostic means 'not sure', 'on the fence', you could see it as the 'bisexual' equivalent for religious debate
AmericanScott Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 Atheist for me. Religion causes problems around the world. Look at them Palestinians and Israelis fighting for a little piece of holy land. Pathetic.
DB11 Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 Agnostic means 'not sure', 'on the fence', you could see it as the 'bisexual' equivalent for religious debate Well I'm the heterosexual equivalent - which one is that? EDIT: HETERO NOT HOMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
davieG Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 What's agnostic? I'm voting for that I added it with reference to this meaning: One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
stez Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 Well I'm the heterosexual equivalent - which one is that?EDIT: HETERO NOT HOMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! burn in the non-believers version of hell the non-believers equivalent to the devil- boy
LeeCovFox Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 I'm an atheist. Personally I think that religion is rubbish in terms of what it asks me to believe. Having said that, I do not subscribe to the argument that religion alone is responsible for the world's problems. Yes, it contributes, but only in connection with money and power. Religious organisations do a lot of good. There are many religious philosophies with which I can sympathise. I like a lot of the message of Sikhism, although all religions, at their most basic level, promote peace and goodwill. I think that this is a good thing. My problem is that I just cannot believe in a God. I do, to an extent, believe, of perhaps more to the point, feel, that there is more to life than what science has discovered, though. We know so little. Through having studied Psychology at university, I remember having conflicting feelings about what is accepted as scientific fact. One particular lecture focussed upon love and attraction. The idea that love is just a chemical in the brain just doesn't do such a feeling justice for me. I'm sure that it is true, but I'm not convinced that it works alone. There must be more to it than that surely, something spiritual, more in tune with nature perhaps? Something which doesn't demean such a strong and important feeling to pure biological mechanics? I don't know, but I'm quite happy to keep that little bit of ignorance. I think it will be a sad day when we can justifiably claim to know everything. So am I religious? No. Atheist? I suppose I must be, as the idea of a God just doesn't sit well for me. I guess I believe more in the universe, or 'Mother Nature'. One thing I do not like is those who attempt to project their beliefs on to others, whether they be religious or otherwise. Its not fair. Allow people their beliefs. Whaever helps people through the day is fine by me. If we are all to live by one philosophy, then surely it is that we should not be unkind an dismissive of others?
Number 6 Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 Apparently only 1 in 12 people's religious view differs from their parents'.
Number 6 Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 I'd also like to point out that the poll says 'vote vote vote vote' but I could only vote once, I personally feel let down but apologise for not completing what was asked of me.

Phube Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 Stat. on the Wright Stuff, in a argument as to whether only stupid people believe in God! I.e. the more intelligent you are the less likely it is you are to believe in God/follow religion. Combine that with religion, especially fundamentalism only really occurs in very poor/poorly educated countries! Out of 700 Nobel prize winning Scientists asked if they believe in God? How many do you think said yes!? 1, that's right one!! P.s. I'm becoming more of an atheist the older I get!

Phube Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 What so only stupid people are religious?That's bollocks. Of course not... but the trend is certainly true. Obviously there are intelligent, religious people and stupid, non-religious people. But 699 in 700 top scientists can't be wrong!

But 699 in 700 top scientists can't be wrong! The trend is obviously that 'more educated' people all secretly think they're God.
Number 6 Posted 12 June 2008 Posted 12 June 2008 The trend is obviously that 'more educated' people all secretly think they're God. I often see the 'clever people are atheists' point, to be honest I think it's a horrible and very disrespectful argument. It seems to me like people copying the clever kid in an exam. Dawkins uses it a lot in his book, not a book I would recommend reading.
