Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm an agnostic, meaning I don't believe in God, but don't believe there is not a God.

I voted no because I don't believe in anything that I would call God, but it's not strictly true. I believe in a few things, but mostly I don't believe in anything. Anything which might be considered real, and not just an abstract concept, I don't believe in.

However, as I constantly point out, there is no singular idea of what God is that everyone agrees on. God can only be known to exist if you relegate God to an abstract concept, such as the feeling of love or determination.

I'm a neo-rationalist. Neo-rationalism is the ultimate extension of philosophy that can't be argued against on any level. There's a big difference between arrogance and being right, and the only way to tell the difference is to doubt all your assumptions; which is what I do.

I voted no, but yet again...not entirely accurate. I am agnostic, I've tried to belive in god or a controling deity, but it hasn't worked. My belief just can't stretch that far. I spend alot of time studying science, especially the human body (im a wannabe medic, applying now for med school) and the complexities of it amaze me every lesson and with every chapter of a text book that I read. I do find it hard to imagine that this has all been the work of random instances leading to the evolution of this complex system, because theres a back up plan to everything, and most of the time it works brilliantly. This leads me to wonder about a deity having a hand in the process. At the same time its possible to see how certain hormones or amino acids obviuosly evolved before others, leading to the specific function of a system, such as the kidneys. Damn kidneys for being so facinating!

thanks for letting me join!

I would define myself as agnostic (atheist when mad), although I sometimes lean to pantheism. I believe that the laws of the universe are the only conception of God that any human could grasp and feel confident about. All other religious concepts that humans have created seem to be very synthetic, and suited only for the times they were created. For example, a man creating a religion today would most likely include an explanation for the sciences we currently understand, but not include any reference to the future technologies that an omnipotent God would surely know of. Religions always seem to be conveniently constructed for the time periods they were created and the history before that. I think that's a big part of why religions now are so outdated.

By the way, I just joined, I love the concept of the guild smile .

(The atheist when mad thing was a joke razz )

I'm agnostic I suppose, but leaning towards Buddhist ideals. I don't believe in any creator gods, but I think there's an afterlife and the idea of a religion devoted to enlightenment appeals to me. I think if there is a higher being, then they are not that much higher than us and wish to be our teacher/mentor instead of a bullying parent.

Those are my beliefs anyway, muddled as they are.

I believe that there very well could be a creator god, or a god who, uh, somehow manages our 'souls'.
But the idea of a sentient, omnipotent being makes only very little sense to me...
