i am an atheist

Nosis · February 26, 2009, 02:18:17 PM

what ever gave you that idea? i just find the content in this thread so uninspiring, i can't bring myself to write up a fleshed out reply to it. too many regurgitated concepts and not enough genuine thought.

me? i'm an existentialist pseudo-agnostic anarcho-nihilist humanist subjectivist post-modern gnostic narcissistic pagan with satanic leanings.

hail satan and praise odin.

Yes, b/c there's plenty of genuine thought coming from you Gnosis.

If you can't write a fleshed out reply, then don't respond. Sounds too easy I know.

I have no idea which cartoon it came from (pretty sure it was a cartoon though :S) but I totally agree with it. The bible was written as a story for a man's wife, over time pages got lost, including the page with the authors name. Truth is, what matters most, is belief. Belief so strong can make anything possible, even if others do not see this. Belief is what makes people happy, and belief is what I believe in. If enough people believed in something so strongly, then it must be true right, at least for the believers. I do not believe in god in the slightest, but I believe that there is a force of naturalistic proportions at work, and it is watching over us, or not.

I can't say what category I would put myself in, I have not been brought up to be racist, malicious, envious, religious, atheist etc, so I try not to think of categories. But, if I had to, I would be a "loner". Against the world and it against me. Just the way I like to be.

P.S. Sorry for the over use of the word belief, and sorry for the complete randomness. I am simply put, bored.

Do you not believe that everyone is connected one way or another? I don't know if this idea of "loner" should last....that would make you "better" than everyone else on some level....b/c you didn't follow what they did. This in turn would make you arrogant, which you don't seem to be, but being a loner means you follow your way and no other way always.

I believe in everything being connected in some way. However, I would not say Iam alone...at least I hope I'm not.

Kiory · February 27, 2009, 02:12:20 PM

Well the funny thing is, I am extremely arrogant, and I do believe I am better than everyone else. It's what makes me, me. I prefer to be alone because then there is less possibilities of me depending on others. I have so called friends, they love me, I'm not sure why, I wouldn't go out of my way to help them though, then I have "close" friends who I adore so much and would die for. My cat, for instance, is my best friend, and I would jump in front of a car for him. This may come across as a bit odd, but if you had the same mind set as me then I'm sure you would understand.

Westfall · February 27, 2009, 03:39:16 PM

I'm arrogant enough to say I'm glad I don't have your mindset. I'm sure you do just fine and all, but being humble about yourself seems to make you better off. While I understand you don't want to depend on pol, you will hate being alone all of the time. This holds true on your deathbed.

How many non-friends do you have to every cat?

Kiory · February 27, 2009, 04:11:07 PM

I'm not sure I quite understand that question. You will have to forgive me, for I have not been blessed with intelligence. :-\

Westfall · February 27, 2009, 05:57:13 PM

LOL I was asking the ratio of "friends" to friends.

Kiory · February 27, 2009, 06:15:04 PM

Wow, I can't believe that I am stumped by such a simple question. I know it's simple but I just can't answer that. :S

Westfall · February 27, 2009, 07:49:32 PM

Haha, (fake friends):(real friends)

Kiory · February 28, 2009, 12:16:48 AM

Ah ha! Now we are getting somewhere, Mostly fake.

As everyone should know, never go full retard.

to westfall.

yes, i do believe that death is the final chapter.

but i believe that there is indeed something left of me after i die, and that is my genetic information which in my descendence. and in a way, that is me.

think about it. are you like your father or mother in your behavior or way of thinking? (not only in physical appearance).

Westfall · February 28, 2009, 07:49:28 AM

Therefore you do not believe that death is the end Roberto.

@ Spekkio: How? Because your input is limited due to your set thoughts of not knowing? Enlighten me with the agnosticism knowledge. Who are you to judge if you have no set thought? You don't know, therefjore judging is hypocritical.
