100% athiest. I look at religious nutters in the same light as any other conspiracy theorists believing in the royal family being humanoid lizards forming part of the NWO.

No more credible than "goddidit" to my mind.

Totally agree, but its more fun to think that we got a leg up from ET, than some smiting bearded bd who is jealous of a bit of competition hehe

Who ith the biggetht ath?

I went to a church wedding at the weekend. During the prayers I had a scan round the room to see how many were either praying (or pretending to out of respect). Out of a room of about 100 people I could only see three or four with their eyes closed and head bowed (not including the obvious ones ). I found it very surprising because I expected most people to at least pretend like we used to school but the majority of the room were simply standing and waiting for the next bit.

We also sang 'All Things Bright and Beautiful'. Those lyrics are a prime example of how manipulative religion is.
Each little flower that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colours
He made their tiny wing

For some reason this verse didn't make the cut:
Each brain-eating parasite
Each malaria infested mosquito
He designed them to eat other creatures from the inside
He made them spread disease and kill millions

The Lord God made them all...

I thought the whole premise was one of faith, even for the most committed. Isn't knowing that there is a God, short of him actually turning up at some point, beyond what can reasonably be considered logical? Much as you contend to know that there isn't a God is, although I'd argue it was marginally more reasonable to assert something you have no evidence for doesn't exist than something which you have no evidence for does exist.

Not suprised, it doesn't even rhyme.

All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.
Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom.
He made their horrid wings.

All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.

Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid--
Who made the spikey urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did!

All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.

I'm an atheist-leaning agnostic. I strongly suspect that there isn't a god, but I see no way to be certain.

If you're going to argue about semantics then you need to be precise.

If you view it as a continuum "Believe-unsure-don't believe" it makes sense. Believe and don't believe are absolutes, with the uncertain middle ground erring whichever way they feel.

There's a tribe in Africa that believes the Earth is the excriment of a giant ant god. There is no way of proving it isn't true. That doesn't mean you have to give it an ounce of credance. It's just a load of tripe made up to provide an answer to questions that we can't answer. Just like Christianity, Islam, Judeaism and all the other claptrap out there.
