Neither one of those is a religion.

Beliefs are religious terms. Saying you're an Athiest is same as saying that you are in a Religion that doesn't belive in god.

OKAY OKAY I DRIGGIN DICTIONARY.COM'D RELIGION AND IT IS A SET OF BELIEFS ABOUT NATURE AND OTHER *SUPERNATURAL Beings which atheists do not believe in.... Go dictionary.com and it IS sillt to believe there is someone greater than us.... we are great people and praying does not get what we want.... action is!

I'm agnostic. I definitely don't believe in a Christian god, but I'm a very superstitious person and I believe that there are forces out there that just can't be explained.

That pretty much sums me up as well.

Personally, I think it's because being a teenager is difficult and it's hard to have any set belief in something when you're having trouble. Some people may say that teenage problems are stupid and immature, but think about how you felt when you were a teenager. Think about the things that bothered you. It didn't matter how insignificant or immature they were, all that matter is that they bothered you in that moment. In that moment of your life you didn't know where to turn to.

My opinion on god is that he indeed lacks a presence on earth. People say that if you pray god will help you. However, all I have learned about god points to the opposite. God gave us free will. God gave us the ability to decide and create our own path in life. In order for this to be true he cannot interfere. So there is nothing but faith. But, for a teenager, it's hard to have faith when there is no evidence of something being real. And will all the controversy the different sects of christianity have about their own god, how would one even know what is right and what to believe in?

Personally I do think there is some higher power. There is purpose to events in life, though I'm unsure about a grand purpose or meaning to life.

A lot of it is that everything seems to be in black and white. You believe or you don't. Most people probably believe that you have to be part of a religious organization, and follow all their beliefs, to claim a religion. And being agnostic isn't something you hear of every day. I think mostly it's because people who are agnostic, since they don't tend to lean to any particular side, don't really argue about it. While atheists and theists are at eachothers throats, agnostics are going about their lives.

I am 21 and a Christian, I have no intention of being an Atheist or an Agnostic,

I enjoy christianity, full of great people. I come often to my friends' church. However, I am not going to try and influence your beliefs.

Same here, I respect other beliefs and don't force mine on others. I am also not against gay marriage (not for it either, but still).

It's great to hear from people with similar outlook on life. Thank you for your response.

I am Atheist because there is no way to prove any religion, and I don't wish to blindly believe in any religion without proof.

Religion did not actually come around until after man began to get more spare time with Systematic Agriculture. Forgive me for thinking logically.

[xLady Tsukiyox]

I guess you can say I'm still technically a teenager because I am 19. Except I'm a Christian. I have tried Atheism and Agnosticism, I couldn't continue with either because I find it hard to actually believe in myself due to issues I've had with myself for the past 6-7 years.

However unlike most Christians, I don't have a fear of God. For me fear can lead to hatred and anger towards God and also a form of disrespect. Which is what I feel has lead many atheists to dislike YHVH and his followers or at least the nutty ones.

However the atheists who claim God doesn't exist and say Christians are idiots for believing in YHVH are what I like to call angstheists. They're about as annoying as the fundamentalist Christians.

Though I disagree with your point of view, I won't attack you based on it.

Ah, Intresting. However, I am looking if I want to settle with a religion or be agnostic. I try to enjoy my life the best way I can. Thank you for this intresting information.
