Hahaha xD

Atheism is the belief that there is no god, or no "superior" being.
Not having a religion specifically would be more Agnosticism(In my opinion...). I'm Agnostic, I'm uncertain of a specific belief being right or proper, so I choose not to have a religion.

Dude, religion is bullshit. Religion is just a set of stupid fucking morels some power hungry fuck made up. God is not real. ANY GOD (in my opinion). Religions are authoritarian hierarchy designed to cloud our free will. It's all a big fucking load of horse shit. I share the same feelings about religion as you. I don't have one at all. I'm not open to it. They're pointless. What good does it give you? As far as atheism... Thats just a way for Christians and Catholics to undermind people who don't believe in their pointless icon of a savior.

That really offends me. Explain your reasoning, show me proof that any god is worth anyone's time and I'll shut up right now.

I'm not saying that you should believe in a religion.But when you say religion is bullshit that is being ignorant.

I didn't say that you have to either. But religion...Is bullshit. What is the point??? You get some self satisfaction out of it for a good 75 years and you die. And THEN...nothing happens. No religion and no god will do anything for us. EVER. It's all made up.

well thats what im saying. i think that you should develop your own beliefs on how you want to live your life. the fact that beliefs are categorized is stupid to me. people who identify with one religion believe in all of that religion's core values. its like being a democrat or republican. most people who identify themselves as democrats will vote the same way on the same issues as other democrats. what does abortion have to do with health care or gay marriage? people should just choose what you believe, and not conform with the guidelines of that group you are in. and fuck the stories, why do you need stories in religion? it should be all about the morals and values. nahmean?

dude, take the blunt.

Religion being bullshit? Not completely... its just what you believe. Personally, I don't think a certain religion has it spot on. So I prescribe to my own beliefs, I believe in a higher being but I'm skeptical, that's why I guess you could say I'm "Agnostic". 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.

Silly boy stfu :)

didnt take the time to read all of your posts, but ill come back and double post later.

@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

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.

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

No. Your wrong. Lets note that when I say religion, I mean EVERY religion. Not just one. So I'm not being ignorant because I'm not being byist to just one religion. Religion is bullshit end of story. It's an absolute waste of time. It's fucking fake BULLSHIT

Yes I do have a reason. It's called being forced as a child to believe in bullshit.

I don't have a religion, and I have no problem with any religion unless they refuse to accept something that can be backed up with scientific facts because it goes against a book some dude wrote a couple thousand years ago. If believing in a god is what makes you happy, and you don't try to force it on me, more power to you.

I think there are more people on this forum that are of no religion / unspecified as opposed to people who actually follow a certain religion.

You know there's over 600 forms of Christianity? And that's only in the US.
