i think we should revise this again
this poll ended in 2003
now were in 2009
(almost 2010)

do you think it be alright if I restart this poll by using the same choices as the 2003 poll? The reason why I wanted to start the poll over because then we could compare if any increased/decreased?

I think that is a fine idea! It would be interesting to see that.

Now, Nines, we have to be nice to the new-comers. Can't all be thumping them upside the head with Bibles now can we? xp ninja > totally being sarcastic, BTW

Have you been directed to the Wiccan FAQ yet Redtears? I think you would learn a lot by reading it.

But once more, I welcome you to the ED and indeed the MR.

[Gopher dude]

I don't really have a religion.

I have a weird religious mind set.

I don't beileve in any god, because I have no reason to beileve in god because when it comes down to it the absence of proof is proof of absence.

If you can find proof of god then it exists, if you can't then it doesn't.

BUT the intelligent mind does not set out to block out ideas, it only serves them with a healthy bit of skepticism.

I would beileve in god if we could flat out prove it, but god is a concept baised on faith, and to me; faith isn't logical.

So I can't beileve in a god derived from faith.

I'm not an agnostic because I find that we can wrap our heads around some basic idea or picture of what god could be.

And I'm not an athiest because I beileve that it COULD be possible that some god-like entity could be born from the collective lives of every organism in the galaxy.

I.E: every living thing makes up a part of god, like how every cell makes up a part of an animal.

I swear you teenagers and your need for independence

[Goddess of Sci-Fi]

I'm an eclectic witch.

[JamesByGrace]

Orthodox Christianity, specifically the OCA. Curious, are there any others out there? Somewhat new to Gaia.

Actually, I know a lot of teens that crave being around people. Myself, on the other hand, I like to be on my own.

I know a lot of adults that are that way, too.

[Prince of Fish]

I'm a Discordian and proud member of the 'Temple of the Fishy Dawn', which is a cabal I made up with a completely arbitrary name to differentiate myself from other Discordians, whom I usually can't stand. Srsly, you can all go burn.

I'm currently a catechumen in the Orthodox Christian Church (also an OCA church.) Before that I was raised Catholic.

You are what I'd like to call an Agnostic. You wont believe it until you see it. You're logical. BUT it's good to hear that you're open as well smile

[Faemir]

I'm atheist.
