Christianity. I'm going to leave it at that and not get into a discussion over beliefs. This site is way to dominated by atheists to have a decent religious topic. 

We are building a Creationist theme park in Kentucky.  Maybe you could meet some people there who share your beliefs, while you ride the Jonah Fish Submarine or Noah's Log Flume.

Serioulsy though, I grew up in a very religious family with preacher grandparents, so I know a lot about religion.  Thats why I'm an atheist.

Seriously???

Yes.  We already have a Creationist Museum with exhibits such as cavemen living with dinosaurs 10,000 years ago.

I don't understand why you just don't move.  Still in highschool or something?  You might mellow out a bit if you didn't live in such a bizare area of Kentucky.

Graduated, then got a job and moved across the country.  Kentucky is still my home, regardless of how embarassing some people there can be.

China accepting christianity to some level would be amazing. Not only would atheism become much weaker in the world but it would also start the spreading of our religion in the far east and Asian continent overall, something our forfathers werent able to do before.

One can hope...

I wish that people stop following anctient myths and instead use logic and reason to guide their lives.

One can hope...

Christianity here - the biggest,the best, most spreaded religion in the human history !!!!!


Isn't Islam more widespread than Christianity now? Or is it just faster growing. 


Nope :) Christianity is still the dominant religion in the world and will hopefully stay so !!!!!!

I hope it does but I doubt it, Islam is growing way faster than Christianity.

Not to suggest that what you quoted was anything less than ridiculous, but this is quite offensive to almost anyone religious. Just because you don't follow any religion doesn't mean you have to look down upon those who do and insult them as such.

I'd say I'm a Christian (I believe in God) but I'm not really good about going to church or reading my bible. 

So wait, you believe that the quality of an eternity of life after death is linked to sitting on a wooden chair for a few hours a week and reading a book, and yet you do neither?

O_O

EDIT: In the words of CS Lewis:

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."

Thats why I'll never understand agnostics. How can someone ''not care'' if there is God or not

I think you've got the definition of agnostic wrong. It essentially means you believe that it is impossible to prove whether God exists or not.

As such I'm an agnostic atheist. I don't believe there is a God but I don't believe that it can ever be proven that one doesn't exist.

Agnostics are hard to pin down, but they are more likely to be skeptics who just say that it is impossible to know whether God exists. In a lesser form though, an agnostic would say that they do not believe either that God exists or that God does not exists. In this sense, they could just be apathetic to the question rather than full-blown skeptics.



noodleism - the thought of the creator being a spaghetti bolognese is just to delicious to pass up on

apart from that I'm roman catholic, but I only believe the good parts and ignore the bad parts

First of all, the majority of the Chinese aren't atheists (only about 14-15% of them are), they're Buddhists or Taoists.

Second of all, most of that part of Asia was colonised by Europeans. If they couldn't convert them by now, they ain't gonna (and you can ber sure that the muslims ain't gonna convert).

Third of all, Christianity is one of the worse things that could happen to China. The last thing they need is a radical religious sect ruining their developing country and halting their progress.

(and in the West, thanks to secularism, atheists have nothing to worry about ).

(Oh, and all reliable sources indicate that Islam is by far the fastest growing religion in the world. Even an organisation such as the World Christian Database says so).
