kinda disappointing thats there's almost as many religious members as non-religious ..i meam the youth of today is supposed to be tommorrow's future ..if half of you still cling to outdated notions of faith based morality the future is bleak indeed

Buddhism still count? :D
 
Sun Worship, it provides everything with life, and we can see the sun
 
The funny thing about Scotland is that 99/100 people that get christened/baptised as a child never read the bible, and aren't religous in any way whatsoever. Technically they're Christian though.

I know their parents definately don't own a bible either.
 
It's less about religion here (Scotland) and more about tribes. It's quite pathetic really.
 
Interesting on buddism, i think thats a good philposophy, worships life rather than gods, and some of those chinese monks up in the mountains can kick serious ass!
 
Nah laddie, yer missin' ra point here likesay, ken?
 
Christian, I don't practice though (as in going to church)

Yeah Solipsism does make some sense

The funny thing is I've always had ideas that are basically part of solipsism but I've never heard of this philosophy untill now.
This just goes to show you that any idea you have no matter how bizarre, you can be damn sure someone has thought of it before...

Faith based morality is a good idea. Only problem is people exploit it. Originally the Bible was a collection of moral stories that were not supposed to change the world for whatever reason, but more tell people what the best way to act would be, given theoretical situations. It was pretty much a rendition of Aesops Fables.
Only difference is that people started to take it literally.
 
Faith-based morality is horrible.

That is the blind acceptance of moral propositions without a shred of reasoning. There's nothing good about that.

Literal or not, the Bible is one of the last things you should base your morality off of.

no it's not it's a horrible idea ..I really dont need some ancient book to tell me that killing my neighbour is bad ..especailly since the book in question is full of immoral acts justified by religion
 
I just thank the zombie master that he didn't include agnostic as an option.

A LOT more if you consider the flood that flooded the world, sent by God from Moses to perge the criminality plaguing the world

i think the 10 were from job and their deaths were in a way commissioned by god because he gave satan the right to kill them.
so if you dont count all the people that were killed by pharoah and others as being part of satans "army" then everyone in the bible was killed by god. which is kind of ironic for someone who considers "murder" a sin.
 
Ok yeah I was wrong about that, I have heard about some of the stuff that's in the bible, like when Jesus killed a kid for kicking over a structure that he made or something, or he pushed Jesus over, I think that was it.
So it's a terrible idea to take advice from a really old book. I think that's what we've all learned.

oh and ATHEIST FTW! . should have put deism on there i think thats what most people mean by other. whats up with the title ? i don't think people actually become their religion , its just a doctrine they follow.

A monitor must of changed my title because i had it as "do you belive in an after life part 2"
 
atheist

and to anyone complaining about the lack of agnostic, keep in mind that it's generally defined these days as a form of weak atheism

and nightblade, samon changed the title, and I added a few extra options/corrected spelling mistakes :p

What I think you are missing is that you are calling "someone". YOu can't give God any human name because he is not even close to being on the same level of us.
 
Yes... we exist, he doesn't :) it's as fundamental as the difference between tangible beings and hopeful, outdated concepts

Ennui has been reading Nietzsche and it's not helping to weaken his atheism to say the least :p
 
I like where Nietzsche says that one must bleed dry the righteous pigs in order to quench the void of ignorance in one's own soul.
 
I don't know. Never read any Nietzsche. Not much of a philosophical guy. I was assuming you were serious.
 
I totally wasn't.

But it would be badass if he did say that.

That is anti-logic, and thus not allowed here. :D
 
in any case the commandments are derived as being anti-god or in other words they contain all the actions that directly go against the nature of god so it would be kind of ironic for that same god to abide them.

I'm sure he said something like it.

He says a lot of crazy shit like that, I'm reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra and it takes 3-4 minutes per page because I have to read it all twice and then figure out what in the hell he's talking about :O However there are loads of interesting points he makes. I'm not sure if I subscribe to his theories and ideas in general, but it's definitely food for thought. The Ubermensch (overman/superman) and the three metamorphoses of the spirit are in particular are tasty.
