What are your religions?

[scythe]

Maybe you need to hang around on some science forums. The Jews are kicking butt in that field. Or maybe some of the agnostics or atheists that posted are Jews, I've heard it's pretty common.

[Strontium]

@scythe Sadly, my science education ended with AP Biology in 12th grade XD

Well yes, I have debuts on the existence of God, but I still am Jewish. An agnostic or atheist who defines as such primarily wouldn't also be a Jew. Maybe they grew up in a Jewish household or are ethnically Jewish but even people like that, like my good friend Ari, refute religion for pure atheism.

Technically I have a personal pantheon, but I typically answer that I am an omnist, Or that that I believe in omnism. That is to say that I believe all religions are equally (in)accurate and (in)valid.
In my personal pantheon, the jedao-Christian god is the 5xgreat-grandson of the actual creator. This has been influenced by memories of past lives, personal experiences, and research.

I'm not religious nor am I an atheist or an agnostic. I just don't believe in any gods but I am willing to change my mind in the face of empirical and repeatable evidence. I am against 'organised religion' but not spirituality or belief in god(s).

not allowed to draw horns..sounds like the older version of dont play GTA or you will do drugs and end up in prison

in my country 30 years ago people believed Left handed people were cursed and they were forced to draw with their right hand.

@Mythos i feel you,its weird how your forced to classify your self as an atheist just bcs you dont believe in God
atheism it self that way feels like a religion (where you only believe in what you see : p )

I do not have a religion

[TACOBERTO]

I'm a pretty straightforward Atheist, started out Catholic but never had much education in the faith and failed to embrace it early on. Usually called out for it in my family but nothing serious.

How does that influence my writing for my comic? I'm not really biased for or against any particular religion. Doesn't impede (or on the flip side inspire) my writing. I've created some fictional religions for my story to get some world building and as an explanation for some of the differences that exist in this fictional world in comparison to ours. Another odd thing is the main character is religious so it's going to be difficult writing the world view and perspective for someone who is so different from my own.

I was raised Christian, but I believe I am Agnostic. We were never very religious, we only went to church on easter and as the years went by not even then. I was expected to still partake in lent, but I stopped. I believe something is out there, but I do not 100% think that it is God. I really like the idea of rebirth like what certain religions believe in.

[scythe]

I just don't believe in any gods

Not saying you should adopt the label or identity, but I'm certain that makes you an atheist.

[tayo_rafferty]

@scythe Not everyone who believes in Jesus is a Christian.

[Isky]

I'm a Pastafarian.

Wiser is the man who keeps his mouth closed with pasta, than the fool who doth chew and speak, spittling like the beasts of the field.

[tayo_rafferty]

@nerosmoke The Greeks felt the same way about Zeus.

[scythe]

Yes, but I don't see how that's relevant. Atheist is a binary descriptive label, not just an identity you can choose to subscribe to or not. You can't decide what you believe. So, if you don't believe in god, you're an atheist. If you do, you're a theist. That's all it is. So it follows that when it comes to the question, "do you believe in a god", there can only be two kinds of people in the world, atheists and theists.

Again, I'm not saying you have to attach your identity to that label, or associate yourself with other atheists, but saying you don't believe in god, but you're not an atheist is like saying both your parents are human beings and your children are human beings, but you're not a human being. Not believing in any gods is the very definition of an atheist. In fact, it's the only definition.

[scythe]

religions are false

Well, at least you got one thing right.

[Momomori]

I'm actually muslim. I was born into a muslim family, but my mom is a former Christian, but I do honestly believe in my religion, and except all people's beliefs, because dats just what a decent human being does

[indagold]

I'm Jewish... well ethnically on my mom's side. Most we do is buy matzoh.

[nketchen]

I'm a Christian. I pastor a small conservative Presbyterian church in Colorado. I draw a dumb comic about a couple of the Protestant Reformers: Marty and John

[lunaartemisasama]

I am a Catholic, a bad catholic

[bakasama25]

So would that mean you're Kevin Smith kind of Catholic?

[lunaartemisasama]

I don't know who he is.
