That's what you're going with, when I unwittingly served you up the gem at the end of my rant? I see that my first impression was spot on.

I don't get it. You mean that there's some sort of innuendo to be found it you wanting to fill him in?

If he's going for the homo angle, sure. Your mind is addled by your perversion.

Here I'm selflessly working hard to vet the new guy, and all I get for it is grief. Ingrates.  :(

Jacob

I'm not giving you grief, you cretin. I was feeding you a straight line.

For the record, I am not addled by my perversion; rather, I find it invigorates and clarifies the mind.

Yes, yes he is. He's a terrible, misanthropic excuse for a human being.

That's pretty much par for the course here.

Depending on my mood I oscillate wildly between atheism, pantheism and discordianism.

If I was presented with an evidence of Jahweh actually existing, I would probably be some sort of a gnostic, considering him an asshole demiurge.

So you'd think yourself created in His image, eh?

  Being new here, I honestly have no idea what this will spark up, but I wanted to get a general average of people's religious beliefs here, and I'd like to know why you people believe what you do. :hmm:

   I, for one, am Nothing. I live in the present, as I don't care what happens to me when I die. The closest thing to me would be Atheism, although I will nothe presumptuous enough to say, without a shadow of a doubt, that there is no God. If there is, cool. If not, awesome. Even if there were a corporeal God I'd still lack the capacity to care. I am also far from Agnostic. I choose not to believe in the concept of anything religious. 

   That being said, go at it.


re Euros: Plenty of atheist Euros here, but that's a Euro trait.  Like left-leaning governments, environmental awareness, or anti-semitism.

re Americans: most of the atheist posters here also identify themselves as "libertarians", yet display the same overeducated pretentiousness about atheism they despise in ivory tower liberal intellectuals, which is sorta funny.   Kind of like people who claim to be bisexual, but for some reason only suck cock.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

What I've always thought.  Your atheism is not rooted in your beliefs but whether or not you can suck cock.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning to Stir The Pot & say that I'm Agnostic (insert "Shifty" emoticon here), so let's just say that I'm generally an Atheist with a few vague Superstitions & a half-baked belief in Karma (on a moral level, though, as opposed to any kind of literal belief that I'll be reincarnated as a goat or a sloth or some damned thing for passing that old broad that was driving 30mph in a 55mph zone & then slamming on my brakes just to scare the living shit out of her)...

How many can honestly say their ideology is not predicated by convenience rather than morality?
