Atheistic agnostic - that is, I don't believe there is a God, but if you can prove that there is, fair enough. (Oh, btw: This thread has a projected life span of about 20 minutes, before Matthew finds it and locks it for being about religion) -- |

>>This thread probably has a projected life span of about 20 minutes, before Matthew finds it and locks it for being about religion. I'm sure it won't come to that as long as programmers can stay calm By the way my vote is for Atheist, although maybe thats not the right discription, I think believe there is "something", just don't subscibe to a religion. |

The problem is people rarely can stay calm. Someone will always end up insulting someone else or someone will take someone else's remark as offensive, and before you know it it's all degenerated into a flame war. -- |

Maybe, but its sad to think that people can't talk thinks out logically. Especially on a forum titled Off-Topic Ordeals. I've personelly found the people on this forum the calmest out of any forums from other sites. |

Quote: I'm sure it won't come to that as long as programmers can stay calm Which they generally don't. Matthew closes these things as a rule. I'm Christian; in fact, I just bought Lee Strobel's A Case for Christ. Exellent book, and at only 9 bucks Cdn, I recommend it highly, to believers and skeptics alike.

Yes, it's sad, but also true. People aren't logical beings, no matter how much we try to be. -- |

>> Yes, it's sad, but also true. People aren't logical beings, no matter how much we try to be. Well so far things seem to be going well. The results so far are intreasting, anywhere else and the ratio would be very different but so far Atheists are the majority.??? |

I already told you: Quote: It won't last long enough to get an honest estimate Whether the thread works or not it'll get closed; Matthew dislikes religious discussions on this forum. I'm happy the troll responses haven't begun (aside from Inphernic's; who's he quoting?) but it's only been twenty minutes -- |

I think all religions are created by humans in order to gain power. BTW I just live my life as I want to until a god heals my tinnitus. I won't be a true believer until then. And why the hell does my browser go out of focus all the time? |

>>It won't last long enough to get an honest estimate. Its unlikely its a fluke (something like five or ten percent of of ameriacans admitted to being an atheist). This poll currently has a ratio of something like Atheists:Believers 4:1 (counting myself). >> someone is BOUND to take what Trezker said as offensive Why it seemed like a harmless opinion. |

I think all believers can be sorted in two categories, good ppl and brainwashed ppl. No matter which religion good ppl are always good and the brainwashed can get fanatic in a flame war like this. |

No all ppl can be sorted in evil, good, normal and brainwashed. But I agree on atheists. |

I think someone should remember my theories from the last time I was appeared in a religius debate here. Even if it was about half a year ago. |

Religion isn't bad. Its the people you should blame. As people evolve things are changeing very fast. Compare now to a hundred years ago when people took religous word literally. Notice how attitudes towards women and black people the same time (most)people stoped taking religous word seriously. Now look at countries where religion is not strong. See a patern? |

There's a lot of Christians, a couple of Catholics, at least one Jehovah's Witness. About half of us are Athiests (rough guess).
