Would you consider Humanity and empathy as my Religion?
Organised religion has failed bitterly. Furthermore, religion divides and alienates fellow men. I think the answer to the quest for Truth is spirituality; Spirituality is personal and psychological. Its practiced in private, inside ones mind. While religion is acceptance of some social behavior, its about socializing. Just imagine...many people gathering to communicate with the Supreme Being? They are so utterly conscious of one another, sensitive of mutual interaction, the whole thing is so shallow, that its very difficult to concentrate, let alone entering a transcendental state.

I'm a protestant and yes, I do believe in God. I live in a Muslim country with a moderate outlook on life and orientations - that said, misunderstood religion can in some instances become a serious obstacle for trans life.

Ooops - I had no intentions of bringing gasoline to the highly flammable religious debate going on today... so let me hasten to say the majority of my transsexual friends and lovers are muslim! And I promise you guys that there's NOTHING hateful about them - on the contrary. They are muslims the way most westerners are christians - moderately and focussing on the positive aspects in stead of the potential conflict-points.
Well, not many conflict-points when we lie in bed sweaty and exhausted anyways :-) My own little contribution to inter-religious understanding :-) H |

100% Agnostic. I don't believe in any type of god, simply because there is not proof of one. I'm not closed to the fact that it is possible though, but someone better have some proof outside of really old books.

An infidel and proud of it. Actually I'm a non-denominational Christian. I do believe in a higher being, this higher being is good, but don't believe in most of the religious procedures of worship.
I talk (pray) to this higher being just as I would a good friend. Works for me. And its keeping me in line. LOL |

my friend stop watching the news because you surely don't know what you're talking about. muslims are not bin laden, nor najad nor all these terrorist people who kill people in the name of islam. I am a christian living in a country which is divided between muslim and christians. I am catholic myslef and have a lot of muslim friends, a couple of them are my best friends. muslims are not those that you see on tv, these are extremist people and we see them in all religions, you want to hate, hate the people who are like that not a whole religion.

And if I might add, there are Muslims and Muslim organizations out there doing what they can to combat the extremists. There are many Muslims in my community as well. Recently, during a flood threat, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, and others were side by side filling sand bags. Quote:

I don't believe in any kind of gods. Not the Christian God, not any other. Though at least some of the others make some kind of sense. Unless I see some proof that shows, God (or any other god) excists, I'll just believe in myself.
Also religion is a very dangerous thing. But I'll let George Carlin talk instead of me, he's better with words. :D About religion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeSSwKffj9o About the ten commandments http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCz0-HY1TLU |

the is a science fiction novel, Wyrm by Mark Fabi. while the book itself received mixed reviews, it does have and interesting theory.
consider religion as a ,ind virus, of mind meme, that started because of some random inexplicable event that happened eons ago. naturaly this mind meme evolves into something greater over time. and the name for this meta mind meme? Group Overmind Daemon.

Agnostic. Atheist about all wordly theistic religions, but agnostic about the possibility of some unknown higher being, whether it's good natured, "evil", completely indifferent, or something totally beyond our understanding.
As far as the original "Satanist" comment, though, honestly a lot of people have a major misconception. LaVey Satanists are atheists. It's a non-theistic (no gods) religion, much like Buddhism or Taoism. More of a philosophy. They do not believe in a devil or "boogeyman". The devil is just a metaphor for the things Christianity calls "sins". LaVeyan Satanists say things like "lust", "gluttony" and "pride" ("Tha DEVIL, Bobby Boo-shay!") are only human nature, and love should be shared for those who deserve it, not ingrates or enemies who will not appreciate or reciprocate it. Instead of turning the other cheek or letting yourself be walked all over, seek vengeance. It's all about balance and moderation of these things. Personally, some of it's a bit TOO abrasive for my tastes. I'm not big on vengeance, for example, or fighting, or the sort, unless it's a last resort. I'd be more with the passive aggressiveness of Buddhism on things like that. But, I do think a lot of things about the "religion" Anton LaVey created make sense. I respect philosophy over theology, but even that said, many theistic religions are still cool mythologies with some good lessons. I'm not exactly an expert on anything though. My life philosophies are a random mishmash of things I learned from google searches or pop culture, mostly. lol IF there is a truly loving God, I think being a good person should be enough to pass his/her "judgment". Sending Gandhi to hell for picking the "wrong path" (with little to no evidence to guide him since every religion is equally valid according to "blind faith" sans facts), but letting in a serial killer because he asks the "correct God" for forgiveness sounds like very flawed morals to me.

God knows
Conventional Christian upbringing & background - fairly liberal. Totally disillusioned about hierarchical Religion which has repeatedly been abused in a quest for power, and as a consequence shamelessly exclusive. From my background I have been left with a deep conviction that God exists ( The Numinous ), a strong feeling that Gnosticism & Buddhism have found much of the path to oneness with the Creator, and a growing interest in Zoroastrianism and Taoism. ( The journey is long but the paths are many )
Otherwise I am an almost total Hedonist ! |

Atheist.
The universe and everything within it (and everything outside it?) runs entirely according to natural laws.

Even with that said, the premises of secular humanism I find, like you, to be a bit too abrasive in regards to the conclusions that follow. As I stated above, I find a Hindu metaphysical construct to best address some of the problems of duality of phenomenon, the nature of "good" and "evil," etc. |

I've been brought up te be a roman catholic, but like my parents I've given up on religion.
It's great that we've put down some basic rules for living like a good person, but I really dislike the judgment over others that seems to come with religion and the fact that the people who shout the loudest are those who break most of their own rules.

Herein is the problem of your statement, it relies on a materialist and empirical ontology and then assumes a dualist (?) ontology perhaps? You reference the realm of the empirically physical, and seemingly defer the majority of your premise to natural law. However, at the same time, you mention the possibility (by virtue of your parenthetical clause) of something existing outside of the universe. This admission clearly falls outside of the realm of empiricism and materialism, and even the heart of your world view. As best as contemporary science can tell, anything that exists outside of the universe is not bound by natural law, as natural law breaks down at the singularity of the big bang. What then, if not natural law, guides this realm outside of the universe? (Various ontologists have referred to this realm as the "atemporal" in exploring these possibilities.) So, by admitting a possibility of existence beyond the universe, you have to admit possibilities beyond the materialist and natural law-bound. You would perhaps better refer to yourself as an agnostic than an atheist, as you seem to have some leniency regarding your paradigm. No offense friend, I've met very few truly hard-core atheists, as the underlying architecture of their view does not in fact exclude the possibility of God. Alas, much of this discussion devolves into a matter of semantics of how we define words such as "atheist" and "agnostic," so I mean no offense if you care to disagree on semantic grounds. |

I'm not saying there are multiple universes, but it's a possibility. We've thought that our planet is the only one, only to be proven wrong. Same with our solar system. Our galaxy. Maybe our universe too. There are two possibilities. Our universe (or whatever spawned it) came from nothing. And by 'nothing' I mean nothing - no energy or matter at all, no space/time, absolute nothingness. Nothingness could only be defined as a complete lack of any attributes because anything else used to describe it would be something. The other possibility is that our universe came from something, or whatever spawned that, which has always been. Either possibility seems shocking to me. But to say our universe came from God seems even more shocking. Because you'd have to ask where did God come from? Nothing? That's even more shocking that a god capable of creating the universe could have come from nothing. I don't think we will ever really know which of the two possibilities happened. But I would at least like to see plausible theories that explain, without any holes, how it possibly could have happened. But like I say, I doubt we would be able to test it.

Similarly, the hypothetical ideas of multiverse theory lack any sort of observational or empirical evidence. At best, they can make certain predictions within a mathematical construct, but the larger theory is not falsifiable based on the devolution of physical constants at a singularity. Within a materialist paradigm, I see NO material evidence to suggest that multiverse theory is even remotely more plausible than the standard big bang model. The latter is backed up by observational evidence, thus if you apply Occam's razor, what seems more likely, just when discussing cosmology? The more complex theory (lacking true empirical evidence) of a multiverse, or the standard big bang model (which is backed by observational evidence)? Quote:
Ultimately, I think we agree. I think it remains a question for the ages, and one that science and empiricism will NEVER ultimately answer. It just perturbs me within the semantics of such discussion, that what is often called "atheism" is more often used to support the logical assertion of what amounts to an agnostic paradigm. Quote:
Now to wager against myself, I will employ Occam's razor. What is more probable regarding conceptions about complexity? Here, I'm utterly clueless. The hypothetical existence of "God" obviously adds degrees of complexity to our view...But does not the existence of a multiverse? Which is more complex? Which is more likely? And ultimately, if you defer to things such as statistics, which is statistically more likely? And more importantly, WHAT is even used to evaluate probabilities that exist outside of our observational realm? |

My life isn't all science though. I interact with the rest of society, and to me it seems that the progression of society is hampered by society's belief in a god. Many refuse to accept things like evolution, or the fact that the earth is over 6,000 years old or the big bang when there is abundant scientific evidence to support these theories, while their own theistic approaches to these phenomenon fail scientific tests. In that sense I am "opposed to theism" and an atheist. As I said above, we've seen one universe. It's not a big stretch to hypothesize that the process that created ours created other. As for a god, we haven't seen even one.

Atheist, there is no great reason for existence, life is just a bunch of stuff that happens. Having said that if people have a faith & it gives them comfort, good luck to them unless they are hate filled fundamentalists, be they Muslim, Christian or any other denomination.
Religion & science though do have something in common, they are both attempts by mankind to explain life, the universe & everything. |
