What is your believe religious or not?

Google it if you do not know the definitions, if other please specify below.

I'm a Christian, though I put Muslim cause right wingers assume I'm a rapefuge supporter and who am I to disappoint them.

[Sivad]

I'm not religious or even a theist but I do believe there's a necessary being because I find the concept of brute fact completely implausible.

Agnostic- Atheist.

[Ganeshas Rat]

I voted for an atheist though I am actually an ignostic. I tried to make a definition of the word 'God' to have some starting point for thoughts about differences between people's understanding of this word and failed to find some for several years. Neither I noticed that someone is close enough to this. Right now I think it's impossible to definite. Gods that have no absolute powers like gods of Ancient Greece that must accept game's rules are just developed aliens (not about extraterrestrials even, just non-human sentient form of life). Gods that have absolute powers like the Christian God that is omnipotent and omniscient should be more complex than our universe is: it means that we can't understand or imagine it in the best possible case and more important, God that is more complex than an universe it created can be treated as an universe himself. If he's able to imagine some man perfectly (and that's what omniscience means) it means its thoughts are as complex as this man - with its personality and participle structure and so on. So why there is a need to create a man if its thought is more than a man?

Pantheists will endorse this: "Of course, I always talked we live in God's mind". But if the universe is not something separate from God, then why do I need God? It means I am already God itself as all other living beings and every grain of sand at an ocean's shore. Our god-like capabilities balance each other and the situation doesn't differ if we consist of God's flame or ordinary matter. The answerer that gives the same answer to any question gives no new information at all.

So either I am an ordinary matter living in the world (possibly) surrounded by ordinary matter whose capabilities can be considered godlike if you have only primitive technologies in comparison or I am a material shadow of a true world existing somewhere else that doesn't care about my shadow existence or I am God itself. In any case talking about god doesn't have sense, so I treat the word (not the possible phenomena behind it) exactly as articles in English language: useless, hostile pieces of information that produce no information but spam my input channels, I hate them.

Catholic of cause...

Denomination of Christianity.....

[Zionist Nationalist]

Agnostic- Atheist.

Since when you become atheist? I remember you said you were a muslim

[anasawad]

@Zionist Nationalist
Was.

[Zionist Nationalist]

@anasawad what happened how did you became atheist/agnoist?

[skinster]

Atheist, as a way to get to the point quick. But when putting time considering this shit, agnostic seems to fit much better.

Overall, who gives a fuck. To each their own.

[Oxymoron]

Athiests are just the worst assholes.

I am a Hebrew of the Kabalistic persuasion mixed with a small dash of Paganism.

[Oxymandias]

I am offended there is no Zoroastrian option. Now my uncle can never be represented on PoFo! /s

Anyways, voted Agnostic because I admit that I simply do not know.

[skinster]

Athiests are just the worst assholes.

You spelt New-Atheists wrong.

@Zionist Nationalist
Just got tired of the idea of god and religion as whole.
Had tons of doubts for years, but kept trying to keep holding on to it and rationalizing it because "god" and honestly, hell.
But at the end, I just gave up. Too many logical contradictions, too many illogical concepts, too many lies and horrible laws and social orders propagated with bad consequences and frankly, horrifying crimes being committed and kept in order because the so called "God" said this is how things should be done.

And fuck Islam really, 'm tired of hearing how 'll go to hell for every little thing. And how my wife and most of the people I know are just doomed to eternal torment in hell because they were "bad" people. They didn't do anything wrong to anyone, atleast that I know off, they didn't harm anyone, many of my friends are infact liberals and eco-friendly and donate to charity and try to help others when ever they can; But all going to hell, why ? Because some believe in a different god, or ate bacon or drank alcohol or smoked weed, or had sex before marriage in a relationship.
I mean what the fuck ? Those are crimes ? Fuck that.

And even the idea of hell and heaven is stupid. Its scary from the outside but its stupid. What kind of 5 year old black and white view of things does someone need to have to create such a binary system where one half goes to eternal joy and the other eternal torment because of minor deeds. And I had a problem with this concept since as far as I remember but now it just took over fully.
I mean, really, think about it; outside the horrible criminals and amazing charitable and good people, the divide is just stupid. You'd be essentially sending regular near identical people some to heaven and others to hell because of minor things or words or even thoughts that they had, even if no one knew about it, because god sees all. Fuck god.

And where is this all powerful god when things goes south ? All the bad things in the world are not good enough for this god to intervene, but had sex ? He's going to punish you to eternal hell. Fuck all the famines, genocides, natural disasters, wars, etc. pre-marriage sex is the ultimate crime.

I don't know if there is a god or not, but I do know one thing for sure... Or two things actually.
1- Islam, and pretty much religion in general is filled with lies. And although I defended it because, you know, hell. Fuck it, its just false and frankly, stupid.

And 2- If there is a god, then he or it, at best doesn't care, and at worse purely evil. Either way, not something worth worshiping and obeying.

[Godstud]

Agnostic/Atheist/Buddhist.
You need to have an option to choose more than 1.

This isn't a buffet @Godstud,

Yeah. I once came to the same conclusions about Lord. I guess the starting point was Darwin's autobiography where he wrote: "So I really can't make myself believe into a god who doomed my father to eternal suffering because he was an atheist, my father was a good man who didn't deserve this."

It inspired me to write some verses and, hm, I hope the forum will endure as it endured much worser things. Not sure if I'm even able to translate it properly... Hm, so

► Show Spoiler

I learned to be a better slave
To Lord, to find the shortest way,
And from the cradle to the grave
I taught myself how to obey.

For all His Glory I'd been eating shit
Lied naked in the mud with winds
To gnaw the body. That was it,
The moment for my will to bind

To His inviolate still silence.
The happiest night was when I put
A rock into my hand in violence
And smashed my organs like a brute.

The victory to free myself
Of physical pathetic ties.
I died as saint and my unchained self
To Earth said easily 'Goodbye'.

My spirit soared into the heaven
Into the palace of the mighty Lord.
I looked around, there were seven
Angels approaching me without word.

They had no faces, only flames.
"Enjoy," the first pronounced to me at last,
"You finally reached all your aims
So celebrate and break your fast,

There's only happiness and glory.
Enjoy yourself, please drink the wines,
Don't use to it, it can be boring."
I turned around looking signs

Of those with whom I'll share
This endless feast. No person,
Wherever look, just empty air.
"But where..." "They take their lesson.

You'll find them in the well.
Just take a look." I run to where
He pointed, looked and, well,
They all together really there

Down in the endless pit, their souls
In fire, and the meaty juice
Flows into abyss' cracks and holes.
"Don't worry much, it's just their use,

Enjoy the fact that you was holy,
Your conscience is clear."
The angels left and slowly
Closing doors cut off my scream.

[Godstud]

This isn't a buffet @Godstud,

Why not? Atheism and Agnostic are almost identical. Buddhism is, in some cases atheistic.

Odin's done good. You don't see any ice giants around, do you?

[Sivad]

You spelt New-Atheists wrong.

Yeah, there are compelling arguments for atheism with the probabilistic POE being the strongest, but those New Atheist twits are philosophically and theologically incompetent. They give atheism a bad rap. Because of them and their ignorant obnoxious followers a lot of people automatically associate atheism with crude scientistic materialism. They've done to atheism what the fundamentalists have done to religion.

[Pants-of-dog]

As an apatheist, I believe god exists, but she does not care about us, and I see no reason to care about god.
