third generation huh, looks like you've got one generation to go before your family will be released from its curse of unbelief

Atheists serve no one, does not apply nor can you hate something that does not exist.
You are easily confused.

Nope- I don't think that's what "other" means in this case..............Other would be- religious choice not mentioned above.
I don't have a religious choice not mentioned above. So I am clearly not "other".
I clearly believe in double negatives however- and you can not take that to no bank.

1. I think all faiths, or lack thereof have been put into some type of classification.

2. It would have been presumptuous if I named the thread "Cicero, What Religion are you???" It was after all a general question aimed at no one in particular, if a thread asks what kind of cell phones people have and you don't have one, is that presumptuous?

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to waste time classifying something that does not exist.....

Yeah- you're right with your cell phone analogy though. I'm being a big jerk today.....sorry.

Apatheist Buddhist. I won't say atheist... I'm not agnostic because I don't 'not know', i 'dont know and don't care.' I won't say there isn't a God because you obviously can't prove there isn't a god and, as per the Babel Fish rule, god can't prove his existance to man, etc. So if there is a god, we can't really know, and if there isnt, we can't really know... So I just don't give a shit. For all intents and purposes I'm atheist, I guess, but... I admit there's a possibility that he exists. I just don't care either way.

I was raised non-practicing Catholic and have moved away from organized religion since graduating from high school (I went to Catholic school K-12). April and I are getting married Catholic partly because that's what she wants to do (though she's not a practicing Catholic and not a religious person in general) and partly because our parents (especially mine) would probably blow cylinders if we didn't.

I would say that April and I are "spiritual"...I believe many different things, but primarily I believe in God and I also believe in karma and heaven. I try to do right every day so that I can live a good life now and in the afterlife.
