| Metallicube said: I personally think that being an athiest is no better than being a fundementalist Christian or any other hardcore religious person. Just like we cannot be sure there IS a god, we cannot be sure there ISN'T a god. I prefer agnosticism because it keeps the door open to possibilites, and it isn't based on the stubborn assumption that there for sure is or isn't a god, because as humans, we can never truly know that. I believe there is some higher "power" out there, but that it's nothing like this personified human-like figure that most religions make it out to be, that "watches" over us, make conscious decision and has feelings like we do. Religious people say that god made us in his likeness. I think the irony is that WE have made GOD in OUR likeness |
I think most people who say they're atheists actually mean it in the sense that they're agnostics who think it's more likelly that there's no God. And how unlikelly it is for there to be a God or which kinds of gods have what kind of linkelyness can vary a lot between these people. But most of them believe there's probably no God. See that bus up there.
