I have throughout my life gone through some severe spiritual swings, but I cannot help but believe in a supernatural or spiritual world, and I prefer to encapsulate my lack of understanding of those supernatural things in the guise of a creator. | |

I think the radicals give other religous types bad images. I believe in God, I attend Church, I pray. To me, being religous isn't about rules and regulations of what you can and can't do, its more about the belief (and relationship) with God. | |

Atheist, God and I never really connected. I don't really spend a whole lot of time dwelling on the subject, however, I just try to live my life as well as I can. | |

btw, I was just thinking about it, and just as time is something that we could possibly only perceieve to be the way it is, however it could be something totally abstarct... I was just thinking about how logic could be the same. Maybe logic is my crutch? Its my religion, when I am feeling down or am having a hard time, I fall back on logic. While you pray for strength or what-have-you, I try to think things through, in a logical manner. | |

Les_Worm - you don't believe in carbon dating? The half-life of carbon-14 is about 5730 years, thats a verifiable fact. Granted the range of carbon dating is maybe 50,000 years or so max before the accuracy starts to break down, but that's still pretty compelling... | |

I appreciate everyones points of views and beliefs but like I said I am not here to debate anything because rarely are minds changed on subjects like this when most people are so stubborn (myself included). I probably have some stuff that would really make some of you think and if you wanna chat about it sometime hit me up on IM and if I'm not busy we could bounce questions (that neither of us really have the answers to) at each other. | |

i'm a biology major and know enough about evolution and creationism to destroy most creationist arguments. the way i see things is the best way to approach the world is to believe what i understand. Sure, its pretty hard to argue against a lot of things, I could say everything was created just 1 second ago and god made you with your memories, and you can never prove me wrong, but rather than insist something is true because it can't be proven right or wrong in any way, why not go with what I know to be true and work my way from there? | |

I prefer science because it constantly questions itself and constantly changes as we uncover new information. No scientist has ever said that what we believe now is 100% how things work and now we understand it all but we have got closer and closer to understanding all the time. | |

I said Atheist, but I suppose I'm really an agnostic that is fed up with religion and therefore identify with Atheists more. |

I imagine the main thing keeping athiests from critically considering the Creator behind strings, life, evolution, carbon14, and man, is that if there is one great being behind it all, critics might have to change their lives. It's much easier to pretend someone else's viewpoint is laughable; God makes them uncomfortable. | |

"God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e., everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time." ~Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, Good Omens, 1991 | |

oh, I would like to say that I do believe in karma. Maybe its just a very simple form of what most religions originally are / should be. It keeps people in check... it keeps them from being selfish greedy assholes. And then theres the fact that karma sounds almost like carmel, and carmel is really tasty... | |

the arguement of theism vs atheism is pretty much unsolvable, so i don't bother with it. I mean you've basically just got two equally crazy groups. Group A has never seen god, rely's on only what they can see with their senses and decides there is no god simply because they can't see it. Group B Insists there is a god, and can explain away any arguement against god because of faith, and the fact that god is all-powerful, all-knowing, ulimately merciful and ultimately just (we'll ignore the contradiction there). Neither group has any reasonable evidence, so both are equally wrong imo. | |

I personally am agnostic. sounds like you are too. I don't really like people who have shut the door either way, because its impossible to believe/not believe in god for any good reason. | |
