If you tape Rage's mouth shut, he can't use it for other activities. ;)

They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...
always constant, accurate, and intense."

I am definitely atheist. I don't understand how anyone can be religious in the 21st century

I am certainly Atheist.

In fact, I'm not too sure of the validity of tangible reality, period.


I was raised Catholic, but never believed and was kinda blasphemous as a young person. Then in college I studies philosophy, meaning I studied religion profusely. I even studied Crowley a bit, just out of curiosity  (underneath all the spooky ghost nonsense it is all about communicating with your higher self, but it is really all a load of shit. I can convince myself of things in better ways )


I think that lots of good people really really try hard, and they were raised with something they could trust in. As long as they mean no harm to others I cant blame someone for wanting to believe in something.

Ive read about people going into "trances" , though. Sometimes though self injury, sometimes though transcendental meditation. And the "speaking in tongues" phenomenon always fascinated me.... I kinda think that is how animals communicate, but that is another topic.

what is that ? I think that it is not experiencing "god" , I think they are experiencing "Self"

Hopefully when I die, It'll be warm :) But, no I am not religious ...

Is it just me, or does that guy look like an even more retarded version of Simon Cowall?

Organized religion to me is just a bunch of people fighting over who's imaginary friend has the best perks.

Do it my way and you'll get to heaven, do it his way and you'll burn in hell.

I don't believe in god (not the way they portray one anyways), I don't believe in heaven or hell.

If you speak to god, you are praying. If god speaks to you, you are schizophrenic.

Very true.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Honestly, when you get right down to the knitty gritty, religion is just an excuse to be an asshole.

Just like Asperger's ;)

But seriously, you're right. Religion is a big waste of time. As an agnostic deist, I personally choose to believe that there is a God out there, but I wouldn't know if he truly exists.

No heaven/hell for me, though. Just God.

We could never be too sure about anything. That's why we should always take the most reasonable approaches. Believing that you don't exist would be as reasonable as believing that you won't die at all if you were to stand in a dreamy manner in the middle of the train track while a train approaches you speedily and runs you over into several pieces.

True.

And as the "speaking in tongues" bit, I believe it's just people speaking plain gibberish. Easy for me to understand.

Nice one. I've always thought Moses, Jesus, and the other prophets either had schizophrenia or they had narcissistic personality disorders.

^You are welcome to. :)


Oh I forgot to answer the original question. No, I am not a believer. I like to see things to believe them.
