| You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don’t believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).
Agnosticism is a philosophy that God’s existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

Which religion is the right one for you? (new version)
created with QuizFarm.com
I am an atheist. I’ve found for a long time that being a non-believer is about as bad as being a child killer. When you tell somebody that you don’t believe there is a higher being out there, you automatically become a bad person.
I believe in science. Prove it to me. Show me the proof that “it” exists. I want facts. Timelines based on carbon dating, actual written documents (not copies of copies of copies of some scrolls that nobody has every really seen), etc.
I was recently introduced to the Invisible Pink Unicorn by Marie. Marie rocks.
Taken directly from their site:
The “believers” famous sayings about faith in the invisible pink unicorn is that, like other religions, it is founded in science and faith. Science – that states that she must be invisible, since we cannot see her. Faith – because we know in our heart that the invisible pink unicorn exists.
I have emailed Ben’s dad and my dad and Cherie to find some good books to start learning more about Buddhism. It’s more a belief system than faith that an all mighty (and very vengeful) God is out there watching us somewhere.
I believe in karma. From Wikipedia
Buddhism teaches followers to perform good and wholesome actions, to avoid bad and harmful actions, and to purify and train the mind. The aim of these practices is to awaken the practitioner to the realization of true reality and the achievement of Nirvana.
Buddhist morality is underpinned by the principles of harmlessness and moderation. Mental training focuses on moral discipline (sila), meditative concentration (samadhi), and wisdom (prajΓΒ±ΓΒ).
Religious people don’t sin for fear of punishment from God. I do nice things because it’s nice to be nice. And there is no fear based motivation to do the “right thing”. So really, isn’t it more meaningful when I do something nice? Rather than the Christian that only does if for fear of going to Hell? (I’m am certainly not saying that ALL Christians do this.) And is it really okay to tell somebody after they’ve raped and killed a child, “Oh it’s okay, ask for forgiveness and live an eternal life of peace and happiness because you are forgiven!!”
I don’t know. Marie is an anthiest too. I really love Marie. It’s so good to be able to tell somebody that you don’t believe and not have them look like you aren’t worth associating with.
And she goes shopping with me! π
Sounds like you and Marie really are meant to be friends, that’s great to have someone (particularly FEMALE!) to hang out with, that has a daughter yours can hang out with… AND that you guys share so much in common with.
I thought the post was funny because I’ve been thinking about a post I want to make regarding religion… not the same subject as yours, but just venting a view after reading misc. weblogs.
hehe We REALLY do have a lot in common.
It’s funny because I actually used you as an example to her the other day. You are are like the only person I know that has pretty much the polar opposite views from me on most political topics yet we can debate/talk about it and walk away friends still.
I look forward to your post. π
And I REALLY need to fix the comment layout. heh
I don’t know wether a higher power exists or not. However, I do believe man should be judged by others by there actions and words.
I am not real sure if you have really asked a question here or not. I do not in anyway push my religion on anyone. However if a fried asks, then I am more then happy to tell them my thoughts and beliefs. So do you really want to know this?
You are more than welcome to discuss your religious beliefs. π
Hey sorry that this is taking so long to get back to you on this. To be honest it is taking a very long time to put all my thoughts into writing. I promise I will have it to you as soon as I am finished so as to have a basis of my general belief to begain a discussion
