Spiritual? Religous? Could care less?

I believe in Karma and Mother Earth

im an agnostic with nihilistic tendencies.

i just dont see the point in investing time and energy looking to validate magic and superstition. i am a man of science

i was raised by devout catholics, studied judaism, deism, taoism, buddhism, hinduism for a while, found some truths in each of those, let the parts i couldn't swallow fall away, and was left with common sense and realized i didn't need any of those to tell me how to live. i accepted agnosicism into my heart as my lord and savior and have been content ever since then (for the most part).

 

Hail satan!

 

I'll go with hdh with the dreads thingy.

I'm totally athiest.

Jokes.. Pastafarian.

Interested in Satanism ^^

I like the book "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. And "Theres probably no god... An Athiest's guide to Xmas"

 

Dawkins, because he publishes his "theorys" as pop science.

 

i think you mean theories, mr pypes

 

can somebody explain agnostic to me please. =]

 

I mean whatever inline spellchecker says I mean.

 

Like Wikipedia?

I was raised as a Lutheran, went to a Jesuit high school and now I guess I would qualify as agnostic. After being a part of those communities for a while I realized that I don't really buy into most of what any church has to say. They've taken "a good idea and built a belief structure around it." You can't claim to know the unknowable. You can't call something The Truth just because you believe it and it is true for you. My feelings about "God" are as follows: the connection between people and each other and between animals, plants, and the earth is a greater being. That being has some seriously amazing faces as well as some incredibly fucked up ones. I see God when I surf, and we've gotten really cozy a few times on shrooms.

 

honestly dragonvine, pastafari is probably the easiest thing to take down.


plus the scripture is funny to read

 

seriously? lately i've been thinking similar things...

 

If you are agnostic you 'sit on the fence' as to whether you believe there is a god or not Simply put ^^

Lol yea, I have been touched by his holy noodly appendage

 

what exactly does that mean?

 

he's having a catholic baby

 

Agnosticism is a scientific approach to religion - it is the belief that a god of any sort exists cannot be proven or disproved as of yet by cold hard fact. From Latin, gnosis means knowledge, the prefix a- means "without."

As an Agnostic you can have "leanings" toward one thing or another, like NP said, he has nihilist leanings. Personally I have atheist leanings, but I do not call myself an atheist, because atheists wholly deny the existence of a god whatsoever - an approach I find to be unscientific, even though I do find the ideology to be realistic.

So, true Agnostics are not the indecisive fence-sitters they're made out to be by people who pretend they can know something that hasn't been proven We're just realists.

From the perspective of science, there is SO much more that we do not know about the universe than we do, so to claim that there is or is not a god, as fact, with a serious lack of evidence toward either of these black and white perspectives, is seen by Agnostics as narrow, near-sighted, and pretentious.

We're not the pretentious ones :toetap05:

 

baptized catholic, raised episcopalian, studied the major religions, live a rasta lifestyle but that's as far as it goes. i believe in science and intuition.

 

100%
I've thought that since I was 12 or so

 

Raised Christian as a child, realized how Christianity is the religion of tools, as with most of organized religions in my early teen years.

Now I am very spiritual. I meditate everyday, believe in several different philosophies, such as reincarnation through the dimensions of consciousness, animism, karma etc. I guess if you had to lump me into a term for it all it would be New Age, but something about that doesn't quite click with me

 

agnostic... my last name is samson.. so im never cutting my locks off.. even tho i am only agnostic.
