Very interesting. I used to be a "Christian" but the inconsistencies in the bible, in churches and other musings have led me to believe that if there is a Goddess/God - she is pissed at us and is leaving us alone to our own devices, is not omnipotent, or just doesn't care. Maybe we should just live life the best we can and leave everyone else alone.

Completely irrelevant but when someone says they're born again, I have this urge to ask them: "So you believe in reincarnation?"

What about the idea that there's isn't a "God" with a plan, but there is some "higher power"? And I don't mean "intelligent design" stuff... I'm talking about the idea of a "higher power" analogous to "the force" in Star Wars, Chi in Doaism. Something more akin to 'gravity', than to 'omnipotent man in the sky'.
Of course you could go the Douglas Adams route.... not only was he atheist, he was militantly atheist. There is nothing more than what you see in front of you, and when you die you're dust in a box. Life is nothing more than electrical impulses passing through conductive substances orderly arranged in neat little cells. All bunched together. *shrug* I could see the potential for any of the 3 camps to be "right". 1) All powerful man-in-the-sky 2) Yoda 3) Electric soup |

Wow this is an old post...
Anyways, where's the "I don't know" option? I'm agnostic, so that would be the best option for me. |
