atheist or theist whats your opinion?

Question

i'm agnostic heavily leaning towards atheism just wanted other people opinions on the matter.

Answer 1

As a theist, I subscribe to neither agnosticism or atheism. However, people must make their own choices, and I support their right to freely do so. Before arriving at any decision, particularly on matters of choosing one's beliefs, it's best to study the matter carefully and do as much research as possible. Whatever you choose, do so with as much information and knowledge as you can possibly gather.

Answer 2

I'm a weak agnostic atheist, I qualify for both weak atheism and weak agnosticism.

I think strong agnosticism is as good as saying the supernatural exists, as their position is no matter what we uncover we can not understand the supernatural.

I think we now have a clear picture of the evolution of religion from polytheistic to monotheistic, and most organized religions disprove themselves. I don't see any evidence to give deities any other more thought than any other archetype that could come out of the human mind.
I think while strong atheism is not a illogical as claiming a deity as fact, it uses the same false logic.

Answer 3

I was an atheist for many, many years, and I would defimnitely choose that over monotheism.

I have evolved into paganism, when I discovered the philosophy I was cultivating (a philosophy I had considered to be rather non-theological, actually... until one moves past the arbitrary definitions of theology growing up in dogmatic montheism imposes) had strong similarities to basic Wiccan philosophy. After years in Wicca, I've gone off onto my own into animism.

Answer 4

Agnosticism is difficult view of the world; I applaud the strength of a person to admit, contrary to human ego, "I don't know, I'm not sure if humans are smart enough to ever know". (which is my brand of agnosticism). I can't truly be Atheist, because I acknowledge there is a chance a higher power does exist.

While people who belong to an organized religion have a strict guideline of morality, ethics, behavior, and live in a black & white world; I bumble around looking for my own definition of what is right - I see the world as shades of gray and try to do more good than harm.

Don't label yourself as an "ist", find your own path that can bring forth good into this chaotic world.

Answer 5

Whoa. Slow it down now. I am an atheist, but if I were to try to convince you to be one too, I would become that which I dislike. This is something with which you, and you alone, must come to terms. It is the core of my beliefs that there is no right religion, only the right religion for you. And yes, atheism, at least in the strong form, is a religion. Just use Merriam-Webster's online dictionary to confirm this, since strong atheists believe with ardor and without (absolute) proof (substituted for the word "faith") that there is no god. Good luck.

Answer 6

If there is no God and we are just here by accident then it doesn't matter either way. But what if? If God really exists and you coose to pursue him then thats good news for you right? But if God exists and you do not choose him, you're screwed. Period. Mabe you should look into this a little more in-depth before you take your chances.

I will be praying that God calls your heart to him.

Answer 7

My opinion is you need to make a choice one way or the other. Right now you are going with the atheists whether you want to or not.

Answer 8

Your intellectual guess concerning the evidence of God doesn't matter at all. All of us are intellectual agnostics in that we can't have absolute proof of God nor proof that God doesn't exist.

But we have to live our lives regardless of proof. Christians live their lives in the hope that God exists.

Atheists live their lives in the hope that God doesn't exist and that is because they don't want any authority over how they live their lives. It's no wonder that teens especially turn away from God just as they turn away from the authority of their parents.

If God exists, He alone will have to reveal Himself and I don't think He will reveal Himself to those who hope He doesn't exist.

Answer 9

the same, agnostic leaning towards atheism, I don't know that god does not exist, but I suspect he/she/it does not

Answer 10

What can they show you outside of their thoughts ? What can they say that cannot be better described with logic ? Why accept fear and superstition as normal ? What can you see ,touch, and quantify ? Who believes words on paper above fact ? What is due to you, is due to everyone !
