What are you?

[bong_man]

Im wondering how many people on these boards are atheists,agnostic,religious. Im a atheist was raised that way and im very happy with it :)

[JunkYard]

Umm, I'm religious, but I don't stand on any one doctrine. I've believed in God all my life, man. I simply can't help myself, it's in mee blood, lol! :p


Junk~

[Polymirize]

I don't feel you've offered enough choices to be comfortable fitting myself into one of those pigeon holes...

[Matt the Funk]

I don't feel you've offered enough choices to be comfortable fitting myself into one of those pigeon holes...

Same...

[Erosea]

I think the options are pretty bad. I'm not religious (I don't follow any particular organized religion) but I'm probably the most spiritual person I know and I have my own set of beliefs. I think adding "spiritual" to the poll would really help it out.

[bong_man]

Not enough choices? What else could you be....

[Podge_Boro]

im not too sure what to believe
so i class myself as athiest

[660]

if ur not sure what to believe your most likely agnostic then. It just means that your not sure there could easily be a greater power that started it all or it could also just be an eruption of energy due to cause and effect relationships. Don't just call yourself an athiest though you may never know the truth but don't claim its impossible without hard evidence

[smoke it]

athiest

[rebgirl420]

atheist and i will raise my future kids when i have em' atheist

[Samwhore]

Im religious, but Im a satanist, so, yes and no at the same time, I love my religion, but I wouldnt call it one

[jdmarcus59]

im not too sure what to believe
so i class myself as athiestbelive in the light

[jdmarcus59]

atheist and i will raise my future kids when i have em' atheist
i will cry for you,

[Jizzle Blizzle420]

Im a non-denominational christian, i dont judge others or anything, i think its peoples right to believe whatever they want.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

atheist and i will raise my future kids when i have em' atheist

it might be just as wrong to force your non-belief on your children as it is for parents to force their beliefs on their children. why don't you just give them all of the available information and let them decide? that's what i did and my kid ain't killed nobody yet.

come to think of it, i'm not sure what he believes these days.

[Veratyr Star]

The end is near.

2012

I'm ready.

[Samwhore]

hmm first of all are u kidding i dont mean to be offensive jsut alot of ppl joke about that and if ur not kiddint (i really dont think u are) tell me more cuz all i get is opionions from ppl who think that if ur atheist then u worship satin and u have no morals so yea tell me more

yes, I am a satanist, it doesnt mean that I rape little kids or kill animals, I have the satanic bible and every thing, to find more visit Official Church of Satan Website (http://churchofsatan.com/home.html) click on theory/practice

*being a satanist is different from being a devil worshipper

[cannavore]

I read almost all of that site now.

Very interesting to say the least. I'm definitely going to look more into it.

[Samwhore]

I read almost all of that site now.

Very interesting to say the least. I'm definitely going to look more into it.

read the satanic bible, the site IMO is a little biased

[bong_man]

Samwhore... Question. Whyyyy are you into that????? i just read it and cud'nt stop giggling lol prob cayuse im baked but AH SURE :p

[Samwhore]

Samwhore... Question. Whyyyy are you into that????? i just read it and cud'nt stop giggling lol prob cayuse im baked but AH SURE :p

well, I thought I was an atheist, but always believed that I was my own god and a lot of the "sins" in the bible were things that made me happy, satanism fit my beliefs best, and I like the designs better

[Veratyr Star]

If you read the nine satanic statements, the eleven satanic rules of the earth...etc you will see that it describes how most of us act and feel, yet we still pretend to be christians and go to church.

[Samwhore]

^^^exactly why I believe, but I dont know, I dont really consider this it a religion, more of a lifestyle, so I still dont know what to vote on the poll

[bong_man]

but to believe in satanism you have to believe in christianity, which means you believe in god and believe in satan. not sure if that makes much sence lol I find the The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth things pretty sweet lol,

[Samwhore]

no no, satanism states that their is no god or satan, It believes that man, (yourself) can very well become its own god, so basically,

yourself= god

[bong_man]

ooooo right cool cool :) was wondering how you could believe that your your own god but another god exists and satan exists to lol :) i'd say ur athiest! :P

[Samwhore]

I really have no idea,

[Veratyr Star]

but to believe in satanism you have to believe in christianity, which means you believe in god and believe in satan. not sure if that makes much sence lol I find the The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth things pretty sweet lol,

That isn't true at all.

If your saying that, then being a christian means you believe in satanism also :wtf:


I'm still too lazy to put effort into any type of religion.

[Samwhore]

That isn't true at all.

If your saying that, then being a christian means you believe in satanism also :wtf:


I'm still too lazy to put effort into any type of religion.

thats what I love about satanism, no effort,

EXCEPT: PARTY HARDY ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!

[Veratyr Star]

Lol, well then.

fuck yeah.


Isn't there a religion where you get to smoke mary?

Uhhh... sign me up. Lemme find a link to my new religion.

[Veratyr Star]

:'Marijuana Religion' : Cannabis Religion: THC Ministry (Hawaii): The Hawai'i Cannabis Ministry (http://www.thc-ministry.org/)

THC Ministry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_religion)


Haha.


I've seen the light and I believe.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

i see by the poll that at this point non-believers outnumber believers 3 to 1. i suppose this means that we stoners are a bunch of godless heathens, damned for eternity and excluded from the blessings of the lord. oh well, shit happens. time for another bowl.:hippy:

[rabbitslayer]

but then satan=?????

I believe Satan in "Satanism" refers to some pagan figure that they claim the Catholic church demonized.

[Jaerl]

I'm kind of more of a Scientologist..

[Polymirize]

Not enough choices? What else could you be....

That's a tough one. There doesn't seem to be a descriptive category for what I believe. But if I was to attempt to define it negatively, I'd say that I do NOT choose to label myself in accordance with a certain doctrine of belief, be it positive, negative or uncertainty of.

[NewbiePacker]

I love people who openly admit they are Athiests. These are the same people that preach there is no god or whatever, but at the sametime are trying to push their beliefs on you. And not all are like that. Im no religous zealot in the very least, but if one really does not believe or care if there is a god or supreme being, why does one have to openly denounce it or preach that they are a an atheist? They just hate the fact people have beliefs, and it works both ways, look at the islamic radicals thay are tring to destroy us, that the extreme opposite. Would it be nice if people just left others alone and not care about it. Some believe and some don't. I also feel the same way about hard line christians and the jehovah wittness banging on my door and im not a big fan of the jeovahs either, but at least they are trying to make people live honest and have morals. And I find most people I have come in contact with that do have faith are generally better people than those that denounce it or do not believe in a supreme being. Ive met some Buddhists, and let me tell you, even if I believed in that or not, they are good people and live right. And I repsect them for that. Ive also known others that had no significant opinion on the matter and they too were good people.

[mrdevious]

I don't feel you've offered enough choices to be comfortable fitting myself into one of those pigeon holes...

My sentiments as well....

As far as a diety-type god goes, a separate conscious entity that started and dictates existence, one that panders to the human condition and has a set of rules... I'm an atheist.

For spiritual/mental practice and exploration, I'm primarily buddhist. But I also draw on many other pieces of wisdom from many sources.

For my belief on the total nature of reality... still working on that one, will get back to you when I have all the answers :thumbsup:

[divestoned]

the folks who believe god dropped adam and eve off,and said he'd be back...are not only insestual...but also quiet nieve. I believe science has fairly disproved many religious myth's.

Dive:stoned:

[bud luv]

I am god.

[FreeVenice]

God's my buddy, everyday all we do is go around a screw with peoples lives. . . he's alot better at it than I am. . .

[PatrickHenry]

Let me break it down for you guys. If you believe or follow the Church of Satan's teachings: you are religious for the purpose of this poll.

Agnostic means you don't know or don't want to draw any conclusions as to the existence of a higher power.

Atheist means you don't believe in a higher power.

Not sure how it could get much simpler?

[Storm Crow]

The young are often agnostic or claim atheism- it's part of the "young and dumb" syndrome that we all go through. Experience and time usually correct this. Talk to me about your beliefs when you hit 50 or so. Most of you will have a religion by then.

Me, I'm Wiccan. I keep a low profile because I live in a rural, red-neck town, but Wiccan I am, non-the-less. (I even help the Catholic kids with their catechism lessons when they were in the after-school program- I know my bible, but Christianity is not for me.) I'm a solitary, which means I don't have a coven.

When I was in college (first time around), I had both day and night classes and rather than ride the bus home, grab a sandwich and get right back on the bus to go back, I just stayed at the college. To fill the time, I read my way through the library (speed reader + 4 hours = a lot of books). Religion was in the low numbers on the shelves and I read most of what was there and came out Wiccan. "And if it hurts none, do what you will." And before you ask, yes, I cast spells occasionally - usually for healing- and yes, they often work, Goddess willing. (Spells are just prayers with props to get you in the mood to communicate with Goddess.)

I'm more what is called a "kitchen" or "Green" witch- I use herbs a lot and I'm not too fussy about my spell components (the Gardnerian-types are SO serious and ritual bound- they make me giggle sometimes). A few hundred years ago, I would have been the "Granny in the woods" giving out love potions and advice to the village lads and lasses. Goddess bless you all. - Granny:hippy:

though it's true that the closer you get to death the more likely you are to embrace religion, not all of us atheists fit into the narrow mold of your above stated "syndrome". my "young and dumb" years were spent as an agnostic, searching for some bit of truth that would enable me to embrace a meaningful faith. though i dabbled in eastern and western philosophies, i never found more than myth and magic or smoke and mirrors. i maintained my status as a seeker until relatively late in life. the exact circumstances are unimportant, but i finally came to the realization that all faiths seemed to be based on nothing more than wishful thinking and that if any answers did exist they would not be found in dogma or dusty tomes. i suppose i'm still searching and will be until the day i die, but i no longer seek faith. now my quest is for a way of life that utilizes those few talents i possess in a way that enriches both those around me and myself.

I agree. The "young and dumb" syndrome alluded to is simply a poisoning of the well type argument. One could just as easily say Storm Crow has hit her old and senile years. Neither argument is effective in making a logical point.

EDIT: MY 420th post. LET'S SMOKE A BOWL!!!!!!!!!!! <///////////:::;:~~~~

[bong_man]

Thats just because people turn into cowards when they get older :p

[JMRinFLA]

I'm a Pagan. Don't see that on your list.

Samething..


im atheist and i dont preach to anyone but if someone asks about it ill tell them

yep its right there, RELIGIOUS! :hippy:

You put that very well.:) I agree... but I only wish I could find out the answers!:cool:

[Oneironaut]

I'm an atheist and proud of it. The lack of any good evidence for Yahweh or Allah or Zeus or Vishnu or Quetzalcoatl means I'm not buying it.

[Daveracer]

***This is my opinion, im not pushing it on anyone and im not trying to offend anyone***


"Young and Dumb".

I like this. The only reason why there's so many older religious people is because they're hoping to hell that in a few years, when they "go", that there's something other than nothing there for them. I don't think they can accept the belief that there's nothing there.

So can we label these people "Old And Trying To Make Up For Every Bad Thing They've Ever Done"?


Personally, i don't believe in anything more "spiritual" than a human. IMO, thinking there's a spirit looking down on us is equivalent to a 4 year old thinking there's a monster in his or her closet. No proof. A crazy story where 4 guys could have been smoking up and just writing their hearts out. Just seems a hell of alot more logical to me.

Another thing i find funny is when you ask church officials the question "why do bad things happen to good people?" They respond "it's the will of god" or something similar. No, fuck that shit. What a cop out.

All the church scandals simply solidifies (sp) my beliefs. God's "messengers of his word" rape little boys. Yeah, that's what god wants, right? :wtf:


And i'm not ignorant about Christianity. I've read the bible and i went to a Catholic high school. Religion turns me off BIG TIME.

I also like those gung ho Christians with bumper stickers all over their car, and the Jahova's Witnesses that show up to my house every few weeks. Yeah, thanks but no thanks weirdos.

[crazyape]

i would say that you're greatly right! lol seriously if we have to be really objective, there's the same chance of having something or nothing after death. But i would say personnaly this be more rallistic of the "empty" theory. Also, some religions like christianisism don't deserve to have i place in the hunt for the truth of the death because of what they did to other humans

[FreeVenice]

Not sure how it could get much simpler?

Last time I checked, religion was a very complicated thing. . .

[Purple Banana]

I believe that long ago, when pirates ruled the seas, and global warming didn't exist, there was He. Set forth with two glorious jewels of light buried in his flesh, He ascended upon a mountain, some trees, and a "midgit."

I believe in His Noodly Appendage- the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I also believe in myself, the good will of people, the right to your OWN lifestyle, and the beauty of nature.

[lazy smoker7]

I believe in god... I dunno why... I just feal it. Even tho sometimes I doubt his existance... but what do I do when I am scared shitless? I pray to god.. so thats why I believe in god. you may not agree that there is a god and thats ok just dont hate on me because I believe in god.. we all have are beliefs... plus also i believe in god because weed and the nature around us is just so BEAUTIFUL and I just think some type of good god created all this for us.. I just dont understand the Pain part of life and why would god lets it happen.. really frustrates me inside that sometimes thinking about this...

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

i am omnitheist.

very pagan like, could be considerably Buddhist, but it is a philosophy more than anything else.

[S.P.Q.R.]

Im religious, but Im a satanist, so, yes and no at the same time, I love my religion, but I wouldnt call it one

Kind of the same here. I'm religious but i'm a Pagan, so i don't like to classify it as a "religion" because it's not organized and such..

But still, I qualify as religious

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

im spiritual.


and i dont like labels either.

[mrdevious]

Dude, I just wanna thank you for being a theist and not being a total asshole, declaring everybody else undoubtedly wrong and all your answers unquestionably right. I don't know why more religious folk can't at least be open enough to ask all the questions and consider all the options, even if you don't understand them yet.

[Coelho]

Indeed... though im only 24, i feel like i have lived muuuch more than this (after i started to smoke, of course. you all know time pass way slower when youre stoned). The amount of wisdom and experience i learned during all the time ive stoned makes me feel like i was much older. Many friends of mine says sometimes i behave like an old man. Anyway... now im religious again. I was raised christian, then in my early twenties become more and more un-religious. But then i started to smoke, and realized the importance, and truth, of the religion. Even atheists have one. I think atheists religion is the reason, or the science. So, now im religious again. Not the one which goes to the church every sunday, but the one who believes in God and sees His kindness through many simple things in the life... Its like ive read somewhere:

"A man that claims there is no God is like a fish that claims there is no water."

[Abunai]

I was Christian raised, turned into an Athiest, sort of a buddhist, not really...its weird because my dad was a Christian/spirtual before, now he's just sprititual...my mom I'm not sure of, but shes buddhist now and my sister was Christian -> then buddhist...I can't follow anything but my own collected views on life lol...

I want to start a new religion, one that brings everyone's religion together...but goes more towards good ethics like world peace ;D. one day...

[PlantBoxer]

Once I found the word Deist, then and only then did I know I found my belief....for myself.

[stinkyattic]

I pretty much consider myself an atheist, but spiritual, and still a good Unitarian, lol.
