That sounds more like atheist.

I see you're kinda new to these forums, and maybe kinda new to religious talk in general. No biggie really, just don't try to get into any major controversial subjects for a week or 2. That's my only advise to new people. Unless you know 100% what you're talking about.

Atheist; I've been a sheep in the past, then it occurred to me that the whole religion thing was just a house of stacked cards.

Bensonist, same thing as atheism, but my name is on it, therefore it's better.

Atheist; Spent well over a thousand+ hours debating and researching about it. The more I learn, the more confident I become.

1. Since when is necrophelia a religion?

2. heretic

n 1: a person who holds religious beliefs in conflict with the dogma of the Roman Catholic Church [syn: misbeliever, religious outcast] 2: a person who holds unorthodox opinions in any field (not merely religion)

I see no requirements of having no religion. You fall less in the category of "Heretic" and more in the category of "Poser"

My personal beliefs are atheistic, but are somewhat similiar to the buddhist faith.

Note:

Atheism is a belief there is no god. This means you believe in an absence of deities, not that you lack a belief in the presence of dieties.

I'm agnostic, seeing as there isn't any proof for or against the existence of dieties.

Roman Catholic, in confirmation right now. I love my religion and I fully believe in God.

Atheist, I have believed in God in the past, but times change for me.

I believe in rebirth, myself, and everything is balanced out. There are very pure hearted people which dot the population of annoying morons that flood the population.

Can we please try keeping this topic civilised? No problem with questions ^_~ Just a request from me, although it isn't my business.

I'm agnostic. Nobody knows if there is or is not an afterlife, nobody knows if there is a God(s) or if there is not a God(s). People can only make speculations, which makes it so stupid when people tell others that they are wrong about the afterlife.

There's really nothing wrong with Hinduism except for its commonality with the monotheistic branches in the realm of defining what is 'right' and 'wrong' (and thus eliminating general headroom for choosing your own direction.)

I do not believe in a god, so I am atheistic. But I do think that the forces of nature act in ways which some would consider "godly" This does not mean I am religious, as I believe anything can be explained, just that scientific forces rock.

Not suprisingly I am an Atheist. Perhaps I am something else but I simply do not believe in religions or anything along those lines.

I am atheist. Why? Well, one day I was argueing with my friend over the subject of God and religion and we came to the conclusion:

QUOTE

"Why don't we leave it at that religion is just to keep people in place and to show them that their lives DO have meaning?"
"Because, there IS a God."
"And what proof is there?"
"Jesus."
"What if Jesus was smart, and I'm not saying he wasn't, but maybe he just thought that if he were to say he was God's son, then he could show that the people that they should be good and they won't go to hell. All religion does is tell us that there is a reason to live and if we are good for that life, we will live graciously after."
"... Fine ..."

I don't really care what religion you beleive in, its all cool. Just be happy

Necrophelia

I didn't think that was a religion.

Well, I'm one of those Christians that don't believe in group worship, and talk to God alone, and think everyone mis interprets everything, and I don't read the bible, etc, etc.

Only reason I think God exists is that I get so many things I don't deserve, and it can't be "fate" or the fact that the world is just being nice to me, there's gotta be some greater power out there looking out for me, and I just manifest it as the traditional Christian God. =/

Well... If anyone knows Dante... (Dante's Inferno) Apparently... according to his beliefs... I'm considered a Heretic and would burn in a molten coffin for all of eternity... But... I choose atheism mainly because:
1) I think worshipping something you don't know is there is just a waste of time.
2) God, Jesus and the Bible are all symbols of faith and are not real.
3) There is no Heaven or Hell, you just go into the ground because I don't really seem to understand why living a life is a test when it comes to what side to go to...
4) I also hate people who believe in God so heavily that people die mysteriously because God "smote" them... Its just STUPID. If that is the reason why... How come Hitler wasn't smoten for exterminating thousands of Jews, God's children?
