| I'm not entirely certain what label fits me best, for expediency I usually just say Catholic. I don't know sweet dick all; however, I believe in a reality beyond that which we perceive and choose to explore that believe through the rituals and practices of Roman Catholocism. Additionally, I believe that I benefit from the practice and exploration of faith (not just my own); subsequently, whether or not there is any reality beyond our perception I deem there to be value in faith. |

| Agnostic. I don't believe in any conventionally defined deity, but I find it impossible to rule one out. |

Lack of belief = atheist. Don't run away from the word buddy.

I don't take any particular view of reality all too seriously. I'm not sure what that's supposed to make me. Agnostic? Post-modern?

I think religion serves a purpose of explaining what science can't quite yet |

So can anything that has the capacity to make up on the spot.

No because if you make up on the spot it's inconsistent with the other . Religion is standardized that doesn't change, that's why it has a social function. |

| I am an Atheist. I believe that with the amount of scientific evidence (sure we don't have tons of evidence but it's way more than religion has or ever will have) we have now for the several theories of creation/evolution/etc. that it's absurd to believe in a god, afterlife, soul/spirit or whatever. I mean come on, it's been thousand of years and despite the advances we have made as a society in the fields of science, technology, medicine, etc. people still believe that bull? It surprises me that a majority of the world's population still believe that when they die they don't actually die but instead go to either a wonderful place in the sky where they live in peace forever or to a horrible place somewhere in the core of the Earth where they will be burned and tortured... forever. Seriously, I feel like I'm describing the plot in a fantasy video game. Religion is an absurdity that has no place in modern society. |

As cute as your efforts to participate in theological philosophy are, I'm going to have to tell you to off. |

| People should seriously watch the movie "Invention of Lying". It explains why we were fed the religion bull in the first place lol |

I find it equally as stupid to completely deny the possibility as it is to blindly follow one, so I just consider myself an agnostic, though I'm not a fan of most labels. I don't believe in any conventional religion or deity, but I don't completely deny the possibility.
Mostly I just follow the ethic of reciprocity. |

I happily called myself an atheist for many years, and I only stopped arguing against religion because I became so utterly bored of it. So eat your ing words, dolt. |
