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.

im an aphilatelist

wassat?

my religion involves not collecting stamps.

my religion involves not collecting stamps.

My hobby is not being a pokemon trainer, and I derive great philosophical meaning by not knowing the title of every episode of DBZ.

lol

i liked your point.

[Hebalobia]

Hey, you forgot Wiccan!!

Wow, 19 out of 39 Atheist or Agnostic. Where is this forum, the third firepot on the left in hell? That's where I have George Carlin saving me a spot.

[New Heliopolis]

Where's polytheist?

[Dakini]

Poll fail.

"Agnostic" shouldn't be an option.

Nor should "atheist" really. It's not exactly a religion. "None" would be a more appropriate option.

[Secruss]

Where's Theistic Satanism.

[Poliwanacraca]

I went with "other." I believe in God; I don't believe in any organized religion.

[Hayteria]

Poll fail.

That too.

And Nanatsu, why did you ignore my earlier post?

[South Lorenya]

ssshhh, they DID include the heathen/infidel option -- it's the top one!

Seriously, though, I've realized that NONE of the human religions are the right one. Yes, they have some parts that are correct, but they have huge, gaping inconsistencies in them.

[UnhealthyTruthseeker]

lol

i liked your point.

I do know differences between the various dubs, who the voices actors were and for approximately what episodes they did what voices, inconsistencies between the dubs and the original Japanese, and inconsistencies between the anime and manga, but dammit, I don't know the name of every episode. As you can see, I have very low standards when it comes to having a life.

[Enadail]

I'm culturally Jain, but I have to point out its not Jainist, no more then its Muslimist or Christianist.

The religion is Jainism, the followers are Jains

[New Manvir]

This poll is suspiciously missing the "heathen" option.

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

And you're a filthy Spaniard.....

*runs*

[Maurepas]

I consider myself Agnostic, for the simple fact that you cannot objectively prove there is no god...

But, for all practical intents and purposes Im pretty Atheist, and argue as such at prettymuch all times...

I asked you this on an earlier thread ("Care to share your religious beliefs?") but it got buried:

I am curious. Digambar or Svetambar? Were you raised in India, and are you still living there? Were you under family/social pressure to marry within the faith and keep it going, or is it accepted that some will go off their own way?

[Atreath]

Satanist. Do I get a cookie for answering?

[Jahca]

Christianity isn't a religion, its a relationship with Jesus.

[Grave_n_idle]

Christianity isn't a religion, its a relationship with Jesus.

So is crucifix masturbation.

[Vojvodina-Nihon]

I'm being oppressed! You left off Mithraist!

also, yay, Poliwanacraca's avatar is back.

[Peisandros]

I'm Catholic.

I'm Digambar in that my parents are. I was born in Germany, raised in the US, still here. My parents recognize I'll marry whom I choose to, and I'm sure they'd be happiest if I did marry a Jain, but I feel like I'd marry another Jain, more so because I feel like I relate to them most. I also don't know if I'll be comfortable marrying someone my parents disapprove of, but that might be because I don't think my parents would disapprove of anyone I choose to marry. Doesn't mean I'm not open, and doesn't mean I haven't dated outside Jains. I feel like being Jain has given me some personal qualities I haven't yet seen in any non-Jains I know. I really haven't seen them in any Jain I know either. I'm a bit of an idealist.

[Sapphista]

I don't see Wicca...or any form of Paganism
