On the fence between Christianity and Atheism.

I believe a God created the Earth, and perhaps created organisms...but I definitely think evolution has happened. I don't really believe in the bible.

You don't sound like much of an atheist or a christian. Maybe you should go with free-thinker.


Yeah dude sounds decent. I guess the closes thing to me is "Deism" technically if I wanted to give myself a title. I kind of believe God just created the world and then left it alone so things could evolve. I like the sound of free-thinker though :)

I was like this for while when I started disbelieving in christianity. The conclusion I came to was - we can trace all matter in this universe to one point in time, the big bang, we aren't sure what happened before the big bang, but does that mean god? I don't think not knowing is a reason to believe in any god, let alone one attached to any religion, so my default stand is disbelief.

Do you believe in the christian god?
If not, you're a deist :)

wow...this poll is retardedly offensive.
so only atheists are free thinkers, so i didnt think on my own, when i decided Christianity was by far the most logical believe system their is.

in my experience, almost all atheist i have come across are the least free thinking people there are, instead functioning as a hive mind.

Firstly, YOU are the one trying to be offensive in that last sentence and secondly, I've never really met any atheists like that, since most atheists come to atheism as a conclusion. If you think that's offensive to a religious person, you don't know what the term "free thinker" means.

Argument stops here please, like I said at the start of the thread, no arguing. 

Definition: Freethought is a philosophical viewpoint that holds that opinions should be formed on the basis of science, logic, and reason, and should not be influenced by authority, tradition, or any dogma.

For example: Someone may reject the belief of the Adam and Eve story based on science, logic, and reason, however if they were influence by authority, tradition or any form of dogma the only science, reason and logic they may accept will be what fits with said story, while rejecting any evidence agaisnst it.

I make my own beliefs, but basically I am (not my current ego) the source of creation just like all of you

I'm really not one for talking about world views and belief systems on message boards (not really sure why I posted on this one... I think it was AndresPetMonkey's avatar that hooked me), but if you have questions that you want to ask, go ahead.

Don't be too mean though!

These threads are getting out of hand. OP, are you conducting some sort of research with all these religious-themed threads?

 

On-topic: I'm an atheist.
