(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The thread that was the shining light of the last two debating sections(ugh, really?) that was God vs Fact has been trashed or something(ugh, again) so this thread is here to take the place of that one.

Some extremely basic terminology...

Theist: believes in a god(s).
Deist: believes in a god(s) that created the universe but subsequently abandoned it and/or believes that reason and observation of the natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of god(s).
Atheist: does not believe in a god(s).
Agnostic: does not claim to know if a god exists or believes that such knowledge cannot be known, depending on the definition. Typically when I personally use this label I'm referring to the former.
Gnostic: claims to know one way or the other if a god exists.

There are some more but that's the basics down. I'm an agnostic atheist. What are you and why?

Edit: Thanks to whichever mod/admin butchered the thread's title and poll. The poll now makes no sense whatsoever.

I believe God gives me power to continue throught the difficulties of life.I want God to be with me and i want me to be with God.I just feel like this..

Why do you believe that when other people get through the difficulties of life just fine without a god?

Is it rational to think a god exists based on hope and feelings?

I dont know what others do,i know what I do..And what i want and know to do is believe to Him.And for me it is.

Reality doesn't change from person to person and reality won't change based on your beliefs.

This sir is your opinion which is fully respected by my side.

Its not an opinion. Its a fact. Your life might be different based on your religion, but reality is the same for everyone.

Reality is, that our sun will expand in some odd billion years and consume our planet killing all life on earth. Your belief will not stop this, or save anybody.

I think that there is a debate whether the sun is growing or shrinking actually...

On topic, Jesus is my homeboy! Romans6ForLife!

Its not growing or shrinking (yet)
When the sun (You must login or register to view this content. ) bloats becoming a red giant it will consume the earth and then it will shrink to become a white dwarf star.

I used to believe in god until i guess he abandonded me should i say and i was holding on but everything in the bible is so contradictory so i just let go of that little bit of faith i had left
