do you belive in god

Trasher02 06.05.2007 02:12 PM

No.

king_buzzo 06.05.2007 02:15 PM

Yes and no.

sonicl 06.05.2007 02:24 PM

A prediction: This poll will come out with a vast majority of people not believing in God. Why? Because they're the sort of people who are lkely to vote in it. People who do beleive in God will abstain because they will read between the lines and see that it is no more than an extension of the "God does not exist" thread and that it is just an attempt to draw people into a logicless argument.

sellouteater 06.05.2007 02:28 PM

why? one can vote anonymously. besides, the existence/inexistence of god does not depend on the results of an internet poll-- right?

and there need to be no argument, just voting.

sellouteater 06.05.2007 02:28 PM

ps please excuse my bad spelling

If only anything interesting would be said in the matter. Ranting is not the same as explaing why you don't believe in God, and throwing insults at people who do is just stupid, in this time and age.

i was simply answering to sonicl's concerns. i am an agnostic some days and an atheist on other days, and i don't think people need to be insulted for their beliefs unless those beliefs pose a threat to others, like in the case of jerry falwell, the opus dei, anti-birth-control catholics, those who are putting the breaks on stem cell research, and other people who try to make political advances for their faith.

I forgive you, as I am God.

like this?
 

SYRFox 06.05.2007 02:42 PM

No, I don't believe in god, and am proud of it

!@#$%! 06.05.2007 02:44 PM

this poll, by the way, lacks a gods option. what is it with monotheism's monopoly?

sonicl 06.05.2007 02:49 PM

Why are you proud of not having a belief, SYRFox?

sarramkrop 06.05.2007 02:50 PM

See what I mean? And what's with just answering yes or no? What does it say about anything? I'm not gonna bother answering the question (no), because I've already indirectly explained why I don't believe in God on the revolution thread. It's just tedious when you get some person going: ''I don't believe in God! He doesn't exist! He sucks!''. What the fuck does that mean?

Edit - ^!!!!*

SYRFox 06.05.2007 02:51 PM

Provocation :p

screamingskull 06.05.2007 02:57 PM

yes in a way, the i don't want to go to hell way.

atsonicpark 06.05.2007 02:58 PM

if you're asking if i believe in shigeru miyamoto

SYRFox 06.05.2007 03:00 PM

So do you think Super Mario's Jesus? And Donkey Kong = Judas?

Glice 06.05.2007 03:05 PM

I agree with sn@ke. Racist.

yesca 06.05.2007 03:06 PM

cmon porks, do you think we all memorized your responses from some ancient thread?

explain yourself.

i'll tell you why i don't believe in "god"-- because "he" cannot be proven and i have little faith in that which cannot be verified.

as for my own religious instincts, i do have my superstitions and rituals, and i do fine with them.

beyond those trivial responses to the uncertainty of life, i also have considered the possibility that there may be such creatures in the universe that may seem as deities to us, and also the possibility of true god or gods, but i disagree with the inherent cyclopean machismo of the judeochristianislamic tradition.

"god the father" & all that crock-- pardon me-- if there is a "higher being", our conception of it is worse than idolatry, and i'd rather worship a rabbit's foot. this antrophomorphized version of "god" with its attending character defects is old time relijun.

in that sense im an agnostic. i refuse to believe things in either direction.

sorry, no intention to offend the easily offended, just an attempt to explain myself.

The difference, as I'm sure you realise, is that you come across as an erudite and intelligent chap rather than an idiot waxing rhetorical. However, I rather fancy anyone with an opinion/ conviction (he says secularly) on the subject at hand has better things to do than explain their theological leanings to a message board.

well, now that you mention it, i could in fact take a nap... thank you.

val-holla-ing 06.05.2007 05:17 PM

i don't know. magic 8 ball has my answer.

terminal pharmacy 06.05.2007 05:31 PM

i believe in god because millions of people do, however i personally donot believe in god for a personal religious view. i believe in the transformative and mental health benefits of music, music can make us feel in a micro second. my spiritual well being relies on aural pleasure, strike me down blind but donot take my hearing.

pbradley 06.05.2007 11:41 PM

where's the "Atheists with something to prove are just as annoying as evangelical Christians" option?

_slavo_ 06.06.2007 02:15 AM

I do.

sarramkrop 06.06.2007 03:17 AM

I keep on reading the name of this thread as ' Do you believe in good poll?' or 'Do you believe in good Paul?.

ZEROpumpkins 06.06.2007 07:34 AM

I am Jesus Christ, and I hath rose from the dead. Believe me or you shall be damned. Prove me wrong, Christians.
