(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.

God never abandoned you and the Bible doesnt contradict itself.

you really believe that? dude have you ever read guinesis it states in creation.... which states the earth is around 7500 years old it and which we know the earth is so much older. and what about where it states in noahs ark... you could not physically put a pair of every single animal on this planet on you single boat

The best way to look at this stuff is' In the end do you fight to stay alive or relax and believe in afterlife.?

I Believe in Mankind in all its Good' Bad' ugly and beauty and rely on Science to tell me how long to live, so at the end family can carry on living with the knowledge i'll always be were they last seen me 6ft under or in dust.

I'm happy to live now then to simply die then. Tho some people never die,
ATEN "Akhenaten" AMUN "Tutankhamun" RA "Ramesses II"
there afterlife is that there never forgotten by Mankind...

!hence why people want to be Famous

Ill be finished with the whole Bible the end of this year so yes I have read Genesis. The Earth is young, and with Noah's Ark does the Bible state these animals were adult animals or babies? Plus it is just one family of animals so the cat family or the dog family etc. Have you seen the size of Noahs Ark? They are reconstructing a model of what it looked like based off the diminsions of what the Bible stated

your such a jack ass lol do you believe in dinosaurs? well they did exist satan didnt put the fossils on the earth to trick us :p so this earth is obviously older than that... close minded people these days geez

If science was true about it then why hasnt everything evolved yet? If we came from fish, Why arent all fish humans yet? If we came from monkeys, Why arent all monekys human yet? ... Science is a bunch of bullshit. God is real and without him your dumbass wouldnt be reading this.

I don't think you know what evolution is because if you truly understood it (even at an elementary school level) you'd realize why that was a dumb question. You sound like Ray Comfort. Evolution is descent with modification. Plus I don't understand what this really common misconception about us coming from monkeys, this is shit you only hear from the religious. We are not descended from monkeys, they are our cousins because we both come from a a similar ancestor. Plus we are more closely related to Apes, but whatever man.

I was baptised catholic but never did any church thing, so I was practically raised atheist whit a lot of my friends atheist and some are humanist (believe religion is a stupid question). So I believe in science but totally respect anything anyone else believes, and so should you.

I am a Satanist. Hail Satan!
