Religion is something that interests me greatly.
I am Agnostic myself because for me seeing is beleiving. Yet oblivion for is a bizarre concept for me
What are your thoughts on religion/god/heaven and all that?
Do you beleive, are you agnostic or are you an Atheist?

I think they're some nice little stories. There are some in the Bible which I guess you can relate to the real world - stories with a moral.
As for a God(s). I don't believe in that really. The Big Bang theory has some strong evidence as does evolution. I guess the only thing I would question is what got the conditions there for the Big Bang to exist. If a God created those condition, watched the big bang and things evolve today then God is a very patient being.

Without an element of believe death is far too scarey for me to think about, in fact it shits me up so much I kind of try my hardest not to think about infinite darkness.
I know I know, you won't know anything about it, but....that's enough for me, got to go and think of some nice things, not this.
Have a nice thread.

I'm agnostic. Until it's proved or disproved then I won't have faith.
Saying that, I'm christened and getting married in church this year. Oh well.

Surely you wouldn't have eternal darkness and stuff as you'd nolonger exist so there wouldn't be anything.
Bit like before you were born.

Bit like before you were born. Are you an Atheist Ben? (Serious question) Good point about "Nothing before you were born", but how much of an abstract concept is oblivion? Wouldn't it be nice to BELEIVE that after life you went to a better place, i wish that I beleived that. |

I probably lean towards atheism, but I'm not arrogant enough to say their definitely isn't anything.

religion is a method of control that has been used to great effect. don't get me started on the bible, what a pack of fictional twaddle and hipocrisy that is.

I can't prove there is no god or afterlife, but nor can anyone else prove there is. I do wonder why so many people's default setting is that there is a god rather than there isn't. you wouldn't believe that there are fairies or pixies, so why god?
