Welcome to Gaia! ::

Christian - Presbyterian.

I love the church I go to back at home cause it feels like a small family and I like that...they were the first to accept me for who I was and try to help me when I needed it. I mean, I have been a 'Christian' all my life, but for years was an aethiest...however, to me from what I have come to realize...at least for me...I felt empty as an aethiest. At the same time, I respect that other people don't feel about it like I do. I have met good Christians and bad Christians...so religion to me does not mean you are a good or bad person. To me, like I have said before, I can not prove that God exists...and there is no actual proof to say that there is no God. So that is where I am there.

My option is not up there, so, I cannot directly vote in the poll.

However, I am a Mechanistic Materialist, (philosophical belief system) that does not deny the existence of God, but limits His omni-benevolent state of being, and defers Him, to It, That Which We Know Not What. For one, I cannot claim that God is a "Him," for the sheer fact that to be human is to be imperfect, and if someone omni-benevolent if even remotely human, then It is remotely imperfect and the question of His said divinity arises. I also do not believe in the creation of a universe in just a few days, nor do I believe in a systemactic explosion happening in space and time. I believe that That Which We Know Not What is the reason the universe came into existence, but beyond that, Its workings in the matter of all that is living is obsolete. It starts things, but does not create them nor guide them. Billiard Ball A, hits Billiard Ball B, and thus, Billiard Ball C has to move by default.

I also believe that God is the answer to How, not Why. (just like in southpark) That It is capable of presenting the tools to life, but in that instant Its responsibilities end.

There you have it, Mechanistic Materialism in a little nut shell, just in case anyone ends up asking. XD
