What religion are you?
Movementarianism:
I used to be in Robotology but got kicked out for unknown reasons.
Seriously, I consider myself a non-theist or ignostic. I was raised Methodist.
I was raised Episcopalian; I have faith and subscribe to core beliefs (such as the Ten Commandments), but I suppose at this point something akin to non-denominational Christian would be appropriate.
It's between the
First Church of Appliantology ...

...and the
Church of the SubGenius.
I am absolutely convinced of the non-existence of God and angels.
I believe there is no god but Allah, and Muhammed is his prophet (PBUH).
Hail Eris! Hail Discordia!
does whichever one you vote on become italicized to you?
Which religion am I? That's awfully presumptuous.....I live by certain philosophies when I choose. That is all.
If you now want to know how I was raised- my household was atheist.
And I have absolutely no regrets about that.
I'm not trying to be difficult here but, not everyone has a religious affiliation.
Most days I'm doing good just verifying that I exist.
Cicero thats what the "Other" choice was for.
Hard atheist, third generation.
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 not able to check any of the boxes either.
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.
Atheist/Buddhist/Pastafarian
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.

I just got
this for my jeep - havent put it on yet.
Awesome.
Oh, and by the way, I also play drums at a Christian church. If you can believe it, I agree with almost everything they believe, with the two minor exceptions of the anthropomorphication of the immutable forces of nature into a silly character of obvioulsy human-based design, and the deification of a mortal man who had a simple message that is almost universally ignored by those who use his name as an excuse for their selfish actions. Just those two things. Well, also anything else that is derived from these misunderstandings.
But, really, I agree with almost everything else, except just those two things. And their derivatives.
Really. Somewhere in there is the same basic message you can get from any other source, you just have to peel away about a thousand layers of bureaucracy, entrenched social injustices, political motivations, machinations for total domination of the male gender, etc.
But there's good stuff in there. Under all that. Really.
Religion: Good and wholesome and loving and everything else, with a bit of superstition in there.
ORGANIZED Religion: The devil.
I have an interesting history with religion. I was raised a Baptist but went evangelical in my teens. I grew out of that and went New Age in my early college years. Which got me into Taoism and Buddhism. I've explored Reform Judaism. If I had to identify myself with one religion, I would consider myself an Universalist Unitarian.
I think it can be successfully argued that Univeralist Unitarian isn't actually a religion. I believe they are a bunch of people who just want something to do on Sunday mornings.
Awesome.

TRUE DAT!
Yes, but without the cruet of imitation maple syrup.
I'm a Pagan, practicing Wicca, with distinct Druidic tendencies.

Go on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wine and cheese society. blah-blah-blah...
The religion of Abraham, The religion of Moses, the religion of Jesus, the religion of Muhammad. The religion of Islam.
The religion of Abraham, The religion of Moses, the religion of Jesus, the religion of Muhammad. The religion of Islam.
The answer to the first three is Jewish and the answer to the last two is Islam.
I remember one time I was in a store and the salesman, who it turns out was also Jewish, called me a landsman. I'd never heard the phrase before, so it took me a few seconds to figure it out.
BTW, noone has ever called me the "K" word (that I know of).
Kike? A name I'd never heard till in army. Me I'm just an asshole. bb
I have never heard anyone called a kike in person, must be a yankee thing.
I believe there is no god but Allah, and Muhammed is his prophet (PBUH).
I agree completely...
...with the first six words.

Someone should tell them about S...E...X :D

If you're
really feeling left out, I'll try to remember to fix that the next time I see you. ;)

Well he used to have sex to the rhythm of the church bells, but the ice cream man drove by and it killed him.
I don't have a religion. That dosn't mean don't believe in angels. It dosn't mean I believe in gods or god.
I believe in nature and that animals have the same right to be alive in a next life as we do. I believe in magic but abor excess.
I guess I am subscribing to the doctorin of a mid life changing point.
Life is good===what do I do with the rest of my life? Not looking for a religion that's for damn shore.
Knigger?
My chest aches from laughing.

It must be generational. I've never heard it up North either.
I had never heard the word until a Jewish friend of mine went by the online handle "homokike" (he was also gay.)
This thread made me curious about the
etymology:
derogatory slang for "Jew," 1904, perhaps originating among Ger.-American Jews in reference to newcomers from Eastern Europe, whose names ended in -ki or -ky. Philip Cowen, first editor of "The American Hebrew," suggests a source in Yiddish kikel "circle." According to him, Jewish immigrants, ignorant of writing with the Latin alphabet, signed their entry forms with a circle, eschewing the "X" as a sign of Christianity. Ellis Island immigration inspectors began calling such people kikels, and the term shortened as it passed into general use.
Hard atheist, third generation.
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
third generation huh, looks like you've got one generation to go before your family will be released from its curse of unbelief
> Univeralist Unitarian
UU is a byoG assembly - bring your own God.

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

Thats the understatement of the century.
Secular humanist. I don't know if there's a god or not, and I'm not looking for evidence either way. It just doesn't make a difference to me.

Athiest. Why can't I vote in this poll or make a new topic?

..and welcome :)
Hmm... Thanks for the welcome, and sorry about the double-post. When my first post never appeared, I thought my browser's anti-script system blocked the Quick Reply, which has been know to happen from time to time.
However, I have now told it to allow javascripts from this site, so it sould not be a problem again.

That remains to be seen.
I used to be a pagan, but saw the light,
admitted my sin, converted, and was saved.
Now I'm just a godless heathen.
Actually, I'm a Frisbeetarian. We believe that when you die,

:lol: I think I just changed my religious affiliation.
Hail Eris! Hail Discordia!
Right on.
Neo-hippie-pagan-chickie-poo, here.
Doesn't tell me what to think, how to think, or not to think. Doesn't care what anybody else thinks.
Works for me.
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. Please stand with hands on the yellow circles, your copy of Watchtower will be delivered shortly.
