But in all honesty, most religions just waste time and make life more stressful... Success is much more easily obtained with less obstacles, and to put it bluntly, "religion" just gets in the way. But I'm also not saying religion is bad, if you're Christian, or Catholic, or whatever, I don't have anything wrong with it because it's YOUR belief not mine.

Very well said...

@syphongamers first post.
i think you should look up the definition and origins of the word "morals" before you describe them as whole, rather than pertaining only to religion, to be "stupid," which even so, is somewhat uneducated. :p

what the fuck. ok but seriously. the question was a serious question. it has me bewildered.

I've had the same argument countless times, saying "nah I'm not an atheist because that's still a belief" or whatever, and so have a lot of other people (including yourself apparently).
Anyway, after looking into it further, I've come to the realization that we're all wrong, and that we are in fact, atheists. (Though I hate to say it, because I don't think everything should have to be labeled in such a way)

A belief that something doesn't exist is also just a disbelief, and the two definitions of the word support that:

Quote:

1. the doctrine or belief that there is no god.
2. disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.

So, while the first definition makes it sort of a "belief" like a religion, the second shows that the word is also used for someone who simply does not believe in god (or supreme being).

Of course, that first definition being there still makes shit annoying as fuck, and could allow you to continue arguing that you're not an atheist and that you just don't believe in god, but there's really no point to it.

Not having a religion wouldn't make you agnostic (though someone who's agnostic doesn't necessarily follow a specific religion).
Agnostic would be more along the lines of being uncertain whether there is a "higher power" (see: god) or not. Basically thinking that there may possibly be one, but aren't sure as there's no real proof.

In other words, you're a pussy and don't want to say there is no god because you're afraid you'll go to "hell" if there is one. :D (<<< That's a joke -_-).

Sorry buddy... Don't mean to offend you or anything, but religion is stupid and pointless. It doesn't benefit us in anyway. People may think it does. But in the end it doesn't. The worshiping of a god or a higher being is fucking ridiculous.

Yes you are entitled to your own opinion but you shouldn't bash someone for having a faith.

I never said it actually WAS. I just said its more Agnostic than anything else, except Atheism but then that's not believing in god at all.

Not one time did I bash anyone for having a religion. I just said it was stupid, pointless, and non beneficial. And then I defended my opinion when blackops was calling me ignorant

Ok but do you have any reason to arrogant about your opinion i mean just keep it to yourself.

Re: ?uestion.

Lets note that you calling any religion "bullshit" is ignorant of you. I am not arguing about religion whether it is real or not.I am saying that making ignorant statements like that makes you ignorant
