Yes, tell us more
Tell us more of yourself, Miniastic!
Im Phat....a onetime fundamentalist who is still a believer in absolute truth yet who is not necessarily a total Biblical literalist...(although I am familiar with pentacostal practices)
I consider myself more of a theistic evolutionist in that I dont worry about God creating the heavens and the earth in six days or anything....I just know He started it all! (way back when)

Re: Yes, tell us more
(Read this post in the voice of Peter Ustinov).
Incidentally, the religiosity of our happy attitude when urging upon the lament of tautologous axioms, is most derisive to the Hyde-side of me. For this we are the guiltiest of sorts, when indulging in our obliquity, for we claim belief notwithstanding our ever present skydaddy as entirely succesful by means of having doors without locks. I shall therefore shamefully divulge my musings in the most ostentatiously indulgent manner;
This most amusing of positions we call our ideology, is best enjoyed with coffee and a cigar, in the knowledge of it's inherantly ludicrous nature. Oh I am naughty for giggling at my crafty ideology designed to charm the socks off people!
But take heed dear Watson, for a burglar cannot break in if he is invited to steal from us!
And so I shall render us amongst the stars by means of my own cognitive dissonance, and a healthy dose of misanthropy by means of natural selection and secularisms that irk me fruitfully.
Yet you "know" something I hear you say. And so you're a light in the darkness of this atheistic empire!
My dear Watson, you only know that we are peaceful believers content upon not rocking the boat of discontent. We are succesful ambigutants by means of ambiguity I tell thee. My whole ideology is dependent upon your abstract incoherency, and my desperate hope that it somehow makes some fluffy philosophical sense or else we are doomed to the dust, and all the pennies I put in my Phat-bank, are as lustrous a a decomposing pink unicorn.
(Bye EvC. Don't hesitate to email some time Phat, with one of your rants that give me hope ina world run by Tyrants such as Queen Asgara.)Yes! this new member is the birth, and I am the dieing star! That irrefutable one that knows no refutation!

" 'My dear Watson,' said he, 'I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate oneself is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers. " - Sherlock Holmes,(The Greek Interpreter)

we are generally a friendly place to post.
What a load of crap that is. This place is as biased as biased can be.

    Haha, thank you for all the replies.
    What exactly is atheism? Sorry, I don't want to disrespect anybody. Here's a little more about myself:
    I on finishing up my HS diploma. I am catholic but the last time I went to church was my 1st communion and my mother always sent me in Moral education instead of religion class (I've never had 1 in my life). Religion is very interesting to me and hopefully I can learn a lot on the forums.

    What exactly is atheism?
    It means you don't believe in God. I suggest going a step further, and being a nihilist, like myself.
    But this is only a suggestion, and I offer it with extreme humility {IMHO).
    I can explain it further if you like, but only if you like.
    Edited by robinrohan, : No reason given.
