Religion poll

[Psooindok]

I thought it would be nice to take a poll of what religion everybody considers themselves.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Oh gods, oh gods, no. Not another one of these. Please.

[Grave_n_idle]

Poll fail.

"Agnostic" shouldn't be an option.

[Robarya]

Atheist.

[Psooindok]

Sorry, guys. It's just that no one has made a poll about this yet.

[Tmutarakhan]

No, I'm not really a Jain, but I do prefer to do without clothing.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

No, I'm not really a Jain, but I do prefer to do without clothing.

And you're the more sexy because of that.

[Lunatic Goofballs]

Oh gods, oh gods, no. Not another one of these. Please.

I was just thinking that one of the poll choices ought to be,

"Oh Jesus Christ on a cracker; Not another Religion Thread!"

[Hayteria]

For now I've picked 'atheist' in the sense that I don't believe in any particular diety. 'Agnostic' simply means you wouldn't claim to know whether there is or not, just as I don't claim to know, but it's not mutually exclusive with atheism, nor is it mutually exlusive with theism. (Though for what it's worth, I do think it's probably incompatible with religious fundamentalism)

And Nanatsu, I fail to see the need to complain about this thread. Why couldn't you just ignore it? I've noticed quite a few persistent threads here that I don't like, but I try to ignore them instead of complaining about them.

Yes, that would have been a good poll option.

[Abdju]

One of them should just be made a sticky so it doesn't keep getting repeated, same for politics. No debate, just a poll.

[UnhealthyTruthseeker]

I don't believe in god or anything supernatural, but I chose other because I don't think that the label of atheism has much meaning. Why should I define myself by something that I lack? There's no word for non-astrologers, or for people who don't collect stamps, why should people who lack belief in the gods have a label? Instead, I define myself as a naturalist and an empiricist, because these are both positive statements of belief. Empiricists do not accept any proposition that lacks evidence. Naturalists do not believe that there is nothing supernatural. I believe that if there are gods, or there is esp, or ghosts, then such things possess a naturalistic explanation, and so don't qualify as supernatural, if they exist. Now, I don't believe in any of those things because they lack evidence, but I'm explaining just what I mean by naturalism.

I am a naturalist empiricist.

Indeed, especially when there are, oh I don't know, 4 more threads dealing with the subject of religion. You know, there are other topics that can be discussed: economy, world politics, silly news articles, inanity. Religion threads are good, in small doses.

[JarVik]

Atheist but raised Catholic.
Was even roped into being an alter boy, though I was already at least agnostic if not outright Atheist by then.

I didn't mean this to be a religion thread where religion is debated. Just a poll.

[Buffett and Colbert]

There does seeem to have been a surge of religion polls.

[Galloism]

This poll is suspiciously missing the "heathen" option.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

There certainly has.

You aren't a heathen. You're an infidel!
