Strong Agnostic-Apatheist
Basically while I do not believe in a god I admit the possibility that there is one, but I don't care anyway.
A little more in depth, I believe that all of our religions are wrong because they are made by people trying to explain natural phenomena. This does not mean that there is no god, but rather that the gods that we have created are false. I have not seen enough evidence of divine influence to make me believe in a god, so I choose to not believe. I believe that if there is a god, we lack the mental capacity to comprehend its form, desires, or influence, so I have no intention of trying. I intend to live my life by my rules, and hope that if there is a god it cares as little about people as I suspect, so it doesn't choose to punish me for ignoring it (which if I am right it won't care about anyway).

Thanks for the thread. It helps for those of us who don't really fit in a specific rhealm of religiosity.
There is no real name for religion to our people. It was so intertwined with the lives of the people that it was never named. Hanen't even researched a label for it. Lets see. It is monotheologic, in tune with nature, has good and evil, various rituals, prayer, and meditation.
Not really looking for a label. Just like living and dying. It just is.

I see this thread has gone the right way, nothing like "worshipping" the human body.
I am interested in PR's choice of beliefs, seems a mighty interesting combination
"Pagan Buddhist, with Wiccan, Druid, Shaman, and Egyptian leanings."
Will have to do me a little more reading I think
Why have they taken the sky from ME

My question for the atheists in the bunch: are you strict philosophical atheists (which holds that there is no valid argument proving the existence of God) or dogmatic atheists (believing that no entity "God" exists? Just found out there was a difference, so I'm curious.

Oh yes, touching is good too
Of course this does all depend on me having his permission to even look in the first place. He seems friendly enough when fans want a photo of him, but this could be a bit much...

Just to be fair, I'm one of those that understands "God" is a creation of m/woman, likely man, eh? However, I'm not quite so arrogant as to believe I may not be mistaken. It's just that certain horrid circumstances in my life haven't left me predisposed to accepting blind faith.
To those who believe: I say, peace be with you. I've no argument with any of you.

Okay, I definitely think that religion and politics are the touchiest of all subjects. But it's okay because we are all Browncoats here. I can't say that I follow any particular religion. I believe that there is definitely something bigger out there than all of us, but what, I don't know(Maybe, Firefly). That is probably the biggest question yet to be answered. I am not saying religion is bad. It is good for people to believe in something and to have faith. I just try to keep an open mind and always be willing to learn more about this subject in any capacity. For me, keeping it simple works, treat people how I would want to be treated and go about my business. All of this is just my opinion and I am not as educated as I would like to be on this subject. But there is one other thing I would like to add "....There's no place I can be since I found Serenity You can't take the sky from me!!!!!"
