I used to be religious. But the more I thought about it the more it seemed too unlikely. There are many religions out there. All which claim exclusivity. However the concept of everything being in its place(Ya I know its not perfect.) But to the point where there is complex life and such makes me also believe that everything simply isn't here by accident.What is everyone's religious beliefs?
Particularly Dylan and Josiah - I really have no idea wtf is going on there.
I'm... I dunno. I was brought up Catholic, but when I was 12, I asked myself in the middle of mass if I actually loved any of the people I was worshiping. "Not really."
So I went through communion and whatever, but now I quit. Sometimes I think there's a god, one who loves trolling me, and other times I'm pretty sure I'm just comforting myself. Basically, I'm sometimes a deist, other times agnostic.
I don't go to church because it's boring, but I love that my family celebrates Christmas.
So I would say I am a weak atheist at best or a (here it comes) agnostic(generally what I fall under)
I still attend church though out of keeping an open-mind to the religious and spiritual(since I am already open to the secular side of the spectrum as well)
Also lol Dylan, Your parents don't define your religious belief as if it were a breed of dog or something lol. However I think you were just being purposefully jocular.
And yes it is unfortunate and awkward for me though when people(religious usually) are like "Your name is Josiah? You must be a christian." Its hard because...
1.)Its awkward explaining to some christians that you don't believe like they do
2.)Its hard to make a friend with someone(anti-theist) who just makes an assumption off of your name.
Also @Underload: Alakazam-Kazam+blasphemy=lol?

I like how he bounces everywhere with the gyro.
Same it was such mindgames. reminds me of "juking" or crossing-up somebody in like football.
Also not only would he reverse b the gyro but he would then gyro cancel and reverse it again. truly amazing

I'm not sure. Religion is a touchy subject. And in my past I have had difficulties with people being tolerant of others beliefs(mainly mine.)
I mean you could have two people. Considering the relevance to us. These two people are into Smash(very much so) they also could like the same music, the same tv shows and generally click in everyway(personality wise and such.) But one thing can make them not friends, their spiritual views. Even with the scenario I just mentioned if one is a hardcore atheist(anti-theist) and the other is a deeply religious person. All the compatibility is overlooked. So I understand your hesitance to talk about your religious ideas. However. same for people with other lifestyles. I liked you before I knew what your beliefs were. That won't change for me.

Only jerks define a friendship over religion. It's really just another difference in opinion, and it shouldn't affect people. The key thing beyond tolerance.
I myself am slowly becoming more and more anti-religion. I would never force that opinion on others, and even let it remotely affect any type of relationship. Some of my best friends are really hardcore Jews, Christians, and Wiccans. We're more than fine and I loves them.
In the end Chunky, I'm pretty sure none of us are jerks.

I'll say that I like to hear positive things that religion has done for people. For a couple of my friends and I, it has given us hope.
I'm Christian myself, and been pursuing it more ever since the start of the year. I never thought that actually pursing it would be something worthwhile. For once, I don't feel shackled to anything; I feel free as I can be. I'm not sure how else I can explain it, and I'm sure I've done a crappy job on it. There was a heavy burden on my mind that plagued me for Heaven knows how long, and I feel like I've been released from it. That's the best I can do.
I tolerate all religions that people believe in. Loosing close ones and friends just because of religious tension seems a bit... lame...
I've never had to deal with a religion fanatic (other than well... I'll get to that later) or the sorts. The people who my friends call religious fanatics were pretty calm towards me. Maybe it's because I just politely told them that I appreciate what they're saying, but I believe in Christianity? Has anyone else run into any kind of fanatic that preaches?
There's only one person that bugs me who is "religious". He constantly says he's Christian. As much as I want to believe him, he's always talking down on it. This I don't appreciate at all.
I really have no idea what I just typed in this whole thing because I just got done LARPing and extremely exhausted. Just steamed thoughts from my head to the keyboard.
EDIT: For clarity issues, I've been Christian my whole life; I just never payed attention to it for half of my life...

even I dont get it, what the hell mes?
Allright, here's a more in depth stance on religion by me.
My parents are devout Christians. The FIRST reason I became atheist/agnostic is, I simply don't want to go to church. I would much rather spend my Sunday playing videogames, I didn't want to spend most of a day being bored at church. As I became older and entered high school though my eyes really opened up and I turned into the guy that doesn't believe ANYTHING until you give me cold.hard.proof.
And throughout the years it pretty much got to a point where I learn the bible is not the end all be all. But you know what? You don't have to believe in anything and you can certainly believe in everything. It really doesn't matter.
Religion does not suck. If anything it teaches good moral standing. Without morals people would definitely be much worse off. Before you think its a complete waste of time note that simple fact. Atheists are actually the most prone to crime and murder, because they simply don't believe in any form of divine repercussions or morality. You know if I ever have a kid, I don't want him to be an inconsiderate jerk. I want him to be a good Samaritan and productive member of society, which again comes from my Christian foundation and belief in good moral standing.
What sucks is PEOPLE that attempts to force religion/atheism|agnosticism on to everyone else. Just believe what you want guys.
This is the way I feel not just towards religion, but just about everything else that requires some form of tolerance, including racism, homosexuality, vegetarianism, pro-life/choice, etc. Feel and believe what you want, but don't try to force it on me. Not saying that I wouldn't listen to you talk about something like that or any issue really cause I love talking to people, but don't FORCE me to believe in something. Again I'm just drilling this forcing thing into your heads, I'm forcing you guys to read this.

Also, I dressed up in a suit for a job interview I had right, and man was it an ego boost. I just felt devilishly handsome like I was just balling out of control.

I think so, and maybe Yang. I had a Ferdi account but that one got banned and I'm too lazy to create another one with a Ferdi variation. On just about everything I go by Ferdi or SuperFerdi now though if Ferdi is taken. TechnicalStasis sometimes cause I thought it was cool.
I got the job and training starts today. To keep it short and simple, I'm going to be selling Cutco knives. 15$ pay for every presentation you do(nobody has to buy anything, they give you 15$ for doing a presentation for someone). But you can get commissions depending on how much you sell, and you can start getting like 1000$ a week paychecks in like 2-3 months if you really work hard in selling these products. It's also a strong resume builder and Vector is a very well known company. And you know what, something's better than nothing.
If you guys are interested go to www.workforstudents.com it's where I went to and fill out an app. No experience needed just have good attitude to work with people. I filled out an app, got an email immediately, and set up an appointment the same day, and went. To be honest I didn't even know what the job was about until I went to the interview, so maybe you guys will be able to do different stuff depending on where you live.
