What Religion do you follow discussion thread.

[Othelos]

I would say that I'm Christian in name only. The only reason I even go to church is because of the negative social stigma in my area of those who don't go to church and because it would give my mother a heart attack.

Service for others (such as going to church for your mother) is an admirable quality.

it wasn't selfless service, it was aversion to conflict

Doesn't matter. It remains admirable. A correct choice made for less than perfect reasons is still a correct choice.

[Threlizdun]

None (agnostic atheism), though I've recently undergone a growing admiration of certain religious figures.

I do not understand what people mean when they say agnostic. What agnostic are they: Agnostic Atheist, Agnostic theist...

They mean they actually don't know.

For me it's agnostic theism; I don't know but I've decided to remain at least marginally Catholic.

Like which ones though?

[Christian Pacific]

Baptist Christian.

[Bunkeranlage]

I'm a Methodist Christian, formerly an atheist and, very briefly, an apatheist. Quite a long story.

Apatheism is more of an attitude than a position...

True, true. I do remember a time when my beliefs regarding this could be summed up as "meh". Not sure what other word can be used for it.

They mean they actually don't know.

If a person cannot claim to be a theist they are an atheist. Agnostic is a descriptor of what type of theist/atheist they are.

Usually it's more of a apatheist position, or just an agnostic atheist one. I rarely see agnostic theists.

Both of you are wrong! In all seriousness I was not really trying to avoid conflict, me and conflict tend to get a long quite well But I digress, it's partial service for others and partial attempting to avoid a messy situation.
Just a word of warning, only the poster knows the reasons why they did it not y'all. Just a tip.

I'm an Orthodox Jew.

Yeshua has interested me for the last few years, though I still have to read more about him. The literary Satan has proven a rather fascinating symbol of humanity and individualism. I am currently taking a class on Islam, reading the Qur'an, and reading a text detailing the events of Muhammad's life and the history of Islam. I'm trying to leave my skepticism behind and learn about these figures from the perspective of a believer, and I have found that their teachings and the mythologies surrounding them are positively fascinating.
