Forums - General - Discussion: Religion and Knowledge should be free

TBH, I don't believe in religion at all.

I believe that there might be some sort of all-powerful being that controls our existence, a "God" per se, and there is a Life After Death.

So, that would classify me as an agnostic?

You might be a Deist.

Do you believe in a "prime mover" that got the universal ball rolling but doesn't currently intervene?

While freedom of knowledge is one thing, expressing ot reciting that knowledge thus becomes freedom of speech, which is known to not do so well on moderated forums on the internet, not just vgchartz. So yes, there is freedom to know, but does the freedom to know result in the requirement to listen to another person's view or opinion? Or, a better question - are you certain that a truly intellectual conversation on theology can be had on not only the internet, but on a video game industry forum?

 

I have seen enough intelligent posts throughout this site from many users that I beleive that it is possible on this website.

Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte

Nakushitemo torimodosu kimi wo

no idea, all i can think of is the giant ball of garbage in futurama



I mean, like, got the ball rolling? Created the universe? Creationism but without divine intervention through history afterwards?

Like if a G-d made all this, and then... left?

hmm Deist, never heard of that one. Is it possible to be an agnostic deist?

Like I said I believe parts of religions, but what I didnt state is that I do believe in the big bang, M-theory, and evolution BUT I think something had to release the gravitational bond that caused the big bang.

interesting, never meet an animist. Very interesting views of the world. I agree with the thought that all living objects have a life force behind them. I don't totally understand the belief that all natural accurances have life forces though, I have a hard time seeing a form of spiritual or universal energy causing a rock slide. Care to explain the idea behind that?

Is anyone here prepared to say
Just what they mean or is it too late?
For anyone here to try to do
Just what is takes to get through to you

So let's all make believe
That we're still friends and we like each other
Let's all make believe
In the end we're gonna need each other

Stradle my hope and make me pray
To a God I've never seen, but who I've betrayed
To the people who live the earth, the life In a place I'll never be 'til I'm crucified

So let's all make believe
We're still friends and we like each other
Let's all make believe
In the end we'll need each other

Let's all make believe
That all mankind's gonna feed our brother
Let's all make believe
That in the end we'll all grow up

So let's all make believe

I'm a strong atheist, but if you want to get more specific, I'm also an existential humanist and an ethical hedonist.

I believe the burden of proof of a G-d is on the state, and until California proves G-d exists, I'll remain an atheist.
