Ok here is a metaphor that i belive in

There is an mountain and on top of it their is god. There are many many paths to get to him and no way is wrong and no way is the best. They all lead to the same purpose and everything.

Right now religion causes more problems that solve. Non belivers are the worst they just wanna change everything with the word god.

Well either way they're wrong. Earth only has one moon, those other objects are "pseudo-satellites"- asteroids in a similar orbit to the Earth.

But anyway, back on topic:

Not all non-believers are Richard Dawkins wannabes who think religion should be banned. Some of us are quite happy to let others go about believing whatever they believe in.

QI is amazing. **** yeah I got to be in the audience for an episode.


For now I'm just someone on the outside looking into the whole subject of religion. I don't follow a particular faith but it does intrigue me greatly. A few years a go I was very interested in the teachings of Buddhism, but being a teenager stuck in some town in the valleys I couldn't look into it as much as I liked at the time. Maybe some day I'll look back into it, I liked the fact it seemed to be more a "spiritual philosophy" which I could understand, rather than believing in one creator.. which I could never get my head around or still can't to this day but hey.. I'm sure that's for another thread.

Hahaha, like me? You'll find that a lot of killing comes from religion.

You're the monkeys with weapons!

Also, I'm atheist but I have morals. I just don't believe they come from God.

amen dude lol. religion is just meaningless rules that have nothing to do with what the bible says, but what you follow still has to have a name.

ever since i started taking being a christian seriously, i quit doing alot of stuff, lie less, and make decisions less based on what on want rather than what God wants for me.

Not religious.

If I was religious I would probably be Buddhist or Muslim. I will never have the faith to believe in a religion but I would still like to study them a bit, maybe read the Quran/Koran or something. Mainly interested in the philosophy.
