My parents are mormon so they think I'm mormon but I'm really fucking not, its a gay ass religion. They only worship the rapist dude Joseph Smith. Would not recommend that religion. Black churches are way better.
You cannot disprove or prove the existence of god, so I say why bother arguing about.
Thats a cop out anwser, you definitely side with one more than the other. But if you think there's a chance God actually does exist then you should probably go to church because there's a chance you could go to hell.
Î really don't give a shit about religion. I don't belive in god either. I don't care what religion a person is as long as they don't try to convince me their way is the only right way and what everyone else belives is wrong.
To be honest I'm a true satanist. I've read the satanic bible and it fits my lifestyle really good. Bet most of you guys don't know what a true satanist is, it's not about sacrfice goats or worshipping the devil and that stuff.
AstompWell do tell jesusman... enlighten us uneducated folk. ...goat killer
Well the best way to be enlighten is to read the satanic bible yourself. You can easily find a pdf of the book on internet. But since nobody seems read "books" anymore...
LaVeyan Satanism is one of several distinct religions identifying itself as Satanic. Followers are atheists who stress dependence on the self rather than reliance on any outside power. It encourages individualism, hedonism, materialism, ego, personal initiative, self-worth and self-determinism.
To the LaVeyan Satanist, Satan is a myth, just like God and other deities. Satan is also, however, incredibly symbolic, representing all of those things within our natures that outsiders might tell us is dirty and unacceptable. The chant of “Hail Satan!” is really saying “Hail me!” It exults the self and rejects the self-denying lessons of society. Finally, Satan represents rebellion, just as Satan rebelled against God in Christianity. Identifying oneself as a Satanist is to go against expectations, cultural norms, and religious creeds.
Yes this is copy pasted, I'm too tired to write something myself. My intentions were not to call you uneducated, it is medias fault that there are some big misconceptions about satanism. And I understand that if youre not intrested about satanism you cant know what it really is about.

Why can't you believe that the idea of a higher power might be possible without there being a heaven and hell? Things don't have to be black and white - life, and everything involved is up to interpretation.
My personal opinion though: Everything contradicts itself at some point if you look small or big enough. Physics is broken, so we obviously aren't seeing it understanding the full picture as of yet. Perhaps we are to the universe as mitochondria is to a cell.
Not picking a side is not a cop out. Blind faith one way or the other with refusal to look at things with a completely open mind to any possibility - now that is the real cop out.

that started off good, then it went downhill when you tried to talk about physics. this thread is about religion "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods." if you want to believe and worship a superhuman controlling the universe, good on you. But I'm not believing it until I see proof, which there is none of. you want to try to say that I'm close minded because of that go ahead.

"Agnosticism" is a modifier, not a position. There are agnostic theists, agnostic deists, and agnostic atheists. Saying you're "agnostic" doesn't answer the question.
I don't care what people believe; I just think gnosticism of any type is fundamentally idiotic.

It's like arguing with someone over what food is the best. There is no way to prove which one is better, but both people are right. God is what you make him.
I personsally don't believe that god exists, but i haven't been presented with any evidence to suggest he can't exist. Just as you wouldn't create a scientific theory without proof, i will not make a definite statement about a higher power without first having evidence one way or the other.
AT-ATI personsally don't believe that god exists, but i haven't been presented with any evidence to suggest he can't exist.
So in other words, you're an agnostic atheist.
Meaning you acknowledge that you cannot possibly know the answer (gnosis = knowledge; agnosis = no knowledge), yet hold a belief one way or the other in spite of that.
Agnosticism is a reasonable stance to take (atheist or theist) because it admits limits to one's knowledge as a disclaimer to their belief. Gnostics (e.g. fundamentalist Christians, flagrant atheists) claim they know the answer, which is a laughable thing to claim regardless of what ontological stance one assumes.
I don't practice a religion. That being said, I definitely believe there is something out there that we can't fathom. I just don't know what. I don't not believe in a god but I also don't fully believe in a god.
To argue about which religion is right is pointless. No one can prove a religion wrong or right. In my opinion, everyone is wrong about religion because there is no proof of what the religion believes in and it is not 100% backed by fact. However because we can't prove it to be 100% wrong, to dismiss the idea would be illogical.
