pgrmdave Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I am curious as to the ratio of people who believe in some sort of spirituality vs. those who do not at Hypography. There was a poll like this before that I believe was split roughly 50/50, I wonder if the makeup of the forums has changed. There are three choices in this poll: Theist - this includes any belief that includes a diety or god of some sort Atheist - this is for anybody who does not have any spiritual beliefs Spiritual Atheist - this is for anybody who has some sort of spiritual belief, but one that does not include a diety, such as Buddism, and New Age spirituality If additional choices are needed, I can add them in the future.

Turtle Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I went with Spiritual Atheist as it appears the spiritual meme is deeply ingrained in humans but wholly an internal bio-environmental phenomenon. As a human myself I find it a fascinating concept rife with, and for, speculation. :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C1ay Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I am a theist becuase what really created it all was it just here or did something create it, thats my thoughts.That one wants to theorize creation as a possible explanation of first cause should not be a reason in and of itself to believe that theory as fact. The existence of the universe itself is not evidence of a big bang, creation or any other causation of that existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes Benzene Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'm a theist, I'm proud, and am not ashamed. It's perfectly reasonable that people mock me for my beliefs. I believe strongly in "freedom of religion", or as the title of this thread mentions, "lack thereof". Whatever makes people happy or comfortable is fine with me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiked Blood Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I guess I'm an atheist. I don't believe in god, however, I don't rule the existence of a god out. I like to question answers, not answer questions.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthepon Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I believe in no god, but I do worship the mind, consious or otherwise. Boerseun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1ay Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I believe in no god....The "belief in no God" vs "a lack of belief in any God(s)" is the root of the false claim that atheism is a religion.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 What is the difference, would you say? Atheism is a subjective belief system, and a non-empirical one at that. Isn't that kinda what the word "religion" describes, or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrmdave Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 While I agree that there is a debate to be had about 'religious' atheism vs. 'non-religious' atheism, this is not the thread to discuss it. Please open up a new thread if you want to discuss that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormod Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I guess I'm an atheist. I don't believe in god, however, I don't rule the existence of a god out. This is called agnosticism, and could possibly have been an option in this poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
