Atheists Unite
Not really, the poll is anon, but I gotta say, once I got over the general culture shock, being an atheist has been one of the hardest things about living here ...and I live in a gay-friendly college town. I really, really don't believe in any form of higher being/whatever, despite having superstitious tendancies (which I generally keep in check). But I find even the people closest to my way of thinking do the church thing as some form of insurance.....
this thing: believe/there is a god -WIN believe/there is no god -no loss don't believe/there is a god -BIG LOSE don't believe/there is no god -no victory So I would be interested to know how many here truly don't believe. You won't be named, God/G-d/Allah won't know.

Based on the thread title, I think you will end up with a skewered pole.

Funny.
I question things. Like: why is there even a question of taking into account or not taking into account something that there is no way of knowing, AND that I would never have thought of on my own/doesn't make sense to me. Why would I even question that? OF FUCKING COURSE I wouldn't.

I went "not atheist" because I'm agnostic. I don't really believe that the possibility of a higher being is very high, but I'm not gonna deny there is a possibility. I think we (people) just have no way of truly knowing either way and those that claim to know are just kinda being egotistical.

I used to though. I used to say that I don't believe in man's god, but how on earth could I possible know that there isn't some kind of creator? Now I just don't care. If my mind cant go there, then whats the point.

I don't mind religious people so long as they don't expect everyone else to take their make-believe game as seriously as they do.
