Faith or Atheism?

[Defiance]

As the poll suggests, you either believe in something, or you believe in nothing. The guidlines are, if you are not an Atheist, then you have Faith.

Atheism is not a belief in nothing, that's nihilism, silly.
Anyway, if I may quote from Einstein:

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."

Atheism wins?

Pretty much.
It already collected 100 votes.
But it was much sooner than I expected.
I pre-maturely ended Round 1 because it took a week to collect 80 people.

I'll start a new poll later tonight. Its going to be even more controversial.

Here's and idea for your next pole, "In the Bible God promotes, rape, slavery, torture, child abuse, murder, genocide, human and animal sacrifice, so using the Bible as your source of evidence for these atrocities do you consider God to be "GOOD" or "EVIL"

 

[Advi]

I have a faith in science.

 

[The Pi]

suprised so many people said faith

Being agnostic means you don't believe anything. Being atheist means you believe there is no God, which technically means it's some kind of faith as well.

I'm agnostic btw. I used to be atheist, but then after reading posts by a certain member (IIRC it was Depravo) I found agnosticism to be better suited to me.

I think "Faith" in the poll should be "Theism". It makes a hundred times more sense.

Good heavens! I didn't know I could be so persuasive.

Even on Facebook, you made a post about being agnostic, I think.

What about a third option for those of us who are on the fence.

Its going to be unrelated to religion, just like how this was unrelated to chicken.

I've already explained in a post in the past 6 pages why there is no, or never will be a 3rd option in my polls.

 

[TM2-Megatron]

Atheist here. I respect the choice some people have made to believe in whatever religion they happen to follow, but I can't do so myself.

 

[BORTZ]

Faith. Ive been a Christian all my life. Well like since i was six and i didnt really know what that meant till like freshman year in high school.

Ive make several posts about this on here so i do not feel the need to defend myself.

 

[omatic]

Atheism - I don't trust humans to talk to me about religion anymore.

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

Wow there's so many people who posted BS here, but I'm not bothered to correct them as it would take up a whole page.
Any way's I went with Faith.

And i just wanted to point out some experiences in my life which convince me that god is real.

First of all I'd like to point out the reason that there is so much evil, murder, rape etc in the world is because god is testing us, i could go into more detail, but it would be very long.

Now

1. There was this time in my life where a lot of stuff was going wrong, not majorly wrong but quite annoying, basically a lot of stuff was going wrong, And also this is around the time that i stopped praying a lot of the time. Basically My life was bad, i had lots of homework, i was irritable all the time and i felt lethargic 24/7. Then i decided to start praying again and as i did my life started to get much better and the problems went away.

2. Just recently, my mum was having the MOT for the car done and she was looking for some important papers of the car that were needed an she was really frustrated when she couldn't find them. So she started to pray while she was praying she remembered that she put the papers in her cupboard with all the prayer books and what do you know, they were there. Coincidence? I think not.

There are more situations but right now I'm quite sleepy so not bothered to type.
BTW I'm muslim for anyone who wants to know.

LOL, I do hope that this is your attempt at sarcasm? because I haven't heard anything as ridiculous as this in all my life.

I don't think talking to a bear would be very productive, but i guess he can give it a shot.

Would you mind pointing out why it is "ridiculous."

 

[worlok375]

My faith is wavering but I still believe.

 

[Njrg]

Would you believe in a god if a talking bear tells you about god?

 

[Yumi]

Atheism.
