Religious Beliefs
What are your religious beliefs? Do you have any? Do you disbelieve in religion?
Please, don't say anything offensive. Not only is it rule breaking, it's hurting someone, somewhere. Also, it doesn't contribute productively

I am agnostic in the sense that I don't believe in God because I don't know if he exists or not. I simply don't see any good reason to believe in something that you don't know exists. I do not think that morals come from God. Morals come from common sense, experience and understanding the consequences. I do not believe that we need a divine entity to guide our lives; everyone has a different purpose in life, whatever they make of it. We have the ability to find it and accept what happens, as things are, even if we are limited to what we can and can't see. I simply will not make any claims beyond that which I cannot see because it cannot be confirmed. I have no problems with other people having religion; as long as it doesn't interfere with other people's choice of lifestyle or their rights, then it's alright. Religion is a personal choice, and cannot be forced upon people.

I am a cynical, fatalistic, nihilistic, sadistic, Atheist. Also proberly a few other things aswell.
In terms of religion I am totally against any Gods or religion as I am an atheist. So I do not belive any gods or goddesses exist. I know them to be the delusions of weak minds unable to accept the truth of their own existances. Meaning they can not except that they will die and cease to exist.

I strongly agree with what both of you are saying. I am a very strong Athiest myself.

If you a very strong Atheist then how can you agree with Angelus as he is agnostic? This means he is not sure whether there is a God or not. Atheism means you belive there is no such thing as god.
You can only be one or the other.

Positive atheism defines atheism as not believing in God, but says nothing about his own existence. Atheists do not believe in God, but they may believe that God does not exist or don't know if God exists. Agnostics are specifically those who cannot believe in God because they don't know if God exists. There's actually a broader definition for agnosticism, one that includes a weaker definition. That you don't know if you should believe in God because you're not putting any credit in either of them. So actually, atheism and agnosticism can be used interchangeably unless you do believe that God does not exist.

I absolutly do not belive that God exsts and therefore I feel it is neccessary to make a clear distinction between the two.

I am a christian, therefore, I believe in God. I believe in the holy ghost, although I cannot see him, I pray and trust him to guide me and all the people who believe and not believe him.
You don't have to see something, for you to believe in it.

We choose not to believe that which cannot be sensed. There are lots of things we cannot see in the world, like air, but there is a way we can sense it and know that it exists. Evidence for such exists.
It is because I choose not to rely on such a whimsical thing as faith.

I have five senses, with them I am aware of the world around me. I do not use them all to sense everything however. Air I feel and hear but I can not see or taste it.
I can not hear God I can not smell him, taste him, see him, or touch him.
God does not exist. Faith is for those who can not belive in themselves who are not sure of their own senses.
