I'd just like to say though that I don't think of myself as an atheist. For years I had trouble describing my beliefs to people. No one really seemed to catch on to what I was saying because to them there were only two options: atheism, or theism. Then one day somehow I stumbled upon a page for pantheism and viola! I had found the name to the philosophies that were already inside me. I love pantheism because it's exactly what I want from both atheism and theism. I'm still definitely all for agnosticism, but now I can be an agnostic pantheist. Hooray. ^_^

 

[BlueViolet]

In your boat, Shaun.

I used to be an angry atheist, then I got tired of arguing with people who weren't ever going to understand what I am saying. It's not worth it.

I consider myself a good mix of the first three, I'm certainly apathetic in my atheism and scientifically geared towards it, but I would also say I'd like to consider myself agnostic because I strongly believe in the power of someone's personal energy. I'd also like to believe that their is an astral plane and other dimensions out there besides our own.

Technically, I believe in God. But I don't believe it is the same as the Creator. And I don't believe it's necessarily anything else we like to think it is either. And I don't think the Old Testament God and the New Testament God are the same being. But I still consider myself a Christian.

Meh... whatever. Apathetic Atheists tend towards disbelief because believing takes more work. These are the people who won't argue religion, even if a total nutjob confronts them because arguing just seems like a waste of time they could spend doing something else.

[JoleneBrody]

Mine is pretty spot on. I'm open to the idea of some sort of other worldly beings having some sort of hand in human development, but I ain't got two shits what it is! I'm kind of leaning towards the alien ant farm theory these days. I mean fuck! You know if we had the technology to create life on another planet just for observation and study, we would!
Pretty 100% positive for myself it's not a "god" that demands any form of "worship".

My family is VERY religious, dad is a pastor even. I still get along with them even though they make me want to bash my head into walls. Then again, anyone who can't carry on a single conversation without finding a way to mention something they are obsessed with always drive me nuts.

 

[Nordling]

A lot of the questions were really unanswerable, because they contained two statements, one of which I may have agreed with and the other I may have disagreed with, so I gave a "C" to those.

 

[BlueViolet]

And I don't think the Old Testament God and the New Testament God are the same being. But I still consider myself a Christian.

The personality change was crazy different, seriously.

Also, I went to Christian school up until 6th grade. I get children's Christian songs stuck in my head like EVERY SINGLE DAY. It drives my girlfriend crazy. Just sitting on the couch and I'm like, "Jonah, Jonah, did not obey God immediately~, Jonah, Jonah, down in the depths of the deep blue sea." Hand motions and all. Oh, and especially "Father Abraham had many sons."

I also had the same Bible study teacher as my mother and grandfather in elementary school. My mom and I shared a 1st grade teacher.

 

[JickyJuly]

I actually very much believe there is a God, but not one outlined by any of the structured religions. I like to think of God as nature, a parental figure and a creative force.

 

[Evvie]

I also got apathetic atheist, which I am extremely pleased with.

makes sense, outside of spiritual pursuit for personal development im more or less agnostic. though pantheist would maybe be more accurate. im just too damn jungian in that respect. any god (or goddess) is just fine by me. if i feel like praying i pick whoever suits my mood and go to town. which is pretty dang rare really. i might pray once or twice a year as a mental exercise, but it sure isnt done with any belief that whatever it is we humans call divine gives a rat's hairless tail aobut us.

One question really bothered me. The one that went something like, "I'll happily debate religious people, but I end up calling them names in the end." I feel like there should have been another, similar question with an alternate ending, like "...and respectfully disagree in the end." Because, while yes, sometimes you just find yourself facing a blatant idiot, a lot of the times, you're simply dealing with someone who interprets data differently.

Fairly accurate but I do love my religion. It fits me perfectly. I just don't like people who are preachy, like my sister for example.

Not surprised my mine:

 

[HiGirlsRHot]

Mine is pretty spot on. I'm open to the idea of some sort of other worldly beings having some sort of hand in human development, but I ain't got two shits what it is! I'm kind of leaning towards the alien ant farm theory these days. I mean fuck! You know if we had the technology to create life on another planet just for observation and study, we would!
Pretty 100% positive for myself it's not a "god" that demands any form of "worship".

I was skeptical of the quiz, but identifying me also as agnostic was spot on accurate. I am not smart enough to know if God exist or not. I can't imagine why any God smart/powerful/wise enough to make the universe would want the adulation of humans. On the other hand, most of the smartest brains in physics and cosmology believe in God, so who am I to tell them they are wrong.

Not to be contrary, but I'm not sure that's true. My understanding is that most physicists are atheists or agnostics (what I call a "weak atheist"--which is what I label myself).

This is probably more of a semantic disagreement. What I should have said is that most famous physicist classify themselves as agnostics and say that you can't prove or disprove his existence. So for instance Einstein declared he wasn't an atheist. This group would include Einstein, Carl Sagan, and Richard Feynman, and generally Stephen Hawkings. There are also a sizable number of Nobel Laureates who are a religious, Max Plank, Werner Heisenberg, and Freeman Dyson, and more recently chemist and physicist like Brian Kobilk, William Philips and bunch others I had heard of listed here.

Yes, as you go back in time, the more you find pious scientists. As far as today, a good many scientists refuse to label themselves, like Neil deGrass Tyson. Quibbling over the exact definition of atheist leads to folly, but technically, "agnostic" means someone who asserts that the existence of God or gods is impossible...which is quite an assertion in itself. I try to be more humble and call myself a "weak atheist," which simply means that although I don't believe in God or gods, I don't state positively that he doesn't exist, simply because the evidence is completely lacking, therefore, by default, I disbelieve.

But, at any rate, only about 7% of physicists belonging to the National Academy of Science (NAS), believe in a supreme deity. The percentage is even smaller among members of the British Royal Society.

Agnostics consider the possibility that they may be wrong about God's existence, no matter which side of the fence they stand on. Agnostics are the penulimate skeptics in the religious debates.

That's not what I understand agnostic to mean. This, from Merriam-Webster, is more in line with what I understand the meaning to be:

a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god


That's a good description of my position, although, I, as I think the majority of agnostics do, suspect there is no god. I scored as agnostic, and I expected to. My second choice, if I was to label myself, would be apathetic atheist: I've just gotten tired of arguing about it. Basically, I can tolerate most beliefs if they are kept out of my face.

*And yes, the test-maker spelled "penultimate" wrong.

 

[Nordling]

Yes, see that "unknowable" part is what I quibble with. It's true we don't "know," but to say it's unknowable or even probably unknowable is kind of a paradox in the whole agnostic set. I'll stick with "weak atheist."

I'm pretty zen about religion, largely because I have my own life and as long as someone else's BS doesn't infringe on mine, we wont have a problem. In fact, most of the religious people ive ever met in my life have been wonderful people as a whole, they just happen to believe in an afterlife and a deity. That didn't stop them from just being nice to talk to. Even the more militant ones, after politely telling them that I wasn't interested and that I still liked them as a person, stopped trying to preach to me.

Probably helps that I'm a foreigner with an accent. And I really AM lovely
