JA, did you come to religion on your own or did you inherit it from your folks as most people get their faith?
How much of your faith shapes who you are as a person? What would you be like with out it?
You are interesting in that you have made these seemingly contradictory belief systems make sense in your life.
Does that mean that there are two Gods you don't believe in?I am diagnostic.
Am I agnostic?
I doubt it.
One can definitely be spiritual without believing in a god in the literal sense.
Then you would love my patron saint of Atheism, Richard Dawkins.Haha! Brilliant!
I'm a devout atheist. It's like being agnostic, but more people hate you, and you're expected to be a total jerk about it (even though I'm not).

Ya think so? He is one of my heroes when it comes to Evolutionary Biology. What do you think makes him obnoxious? His aggressive anti-religious stance, or do you think his logic is bogus?Indeed, he's who I was referring to. Pretty much constantly makes all Atheists look like total jerks every time he opens his mouth. As if we didn't have the deck stacked against us with the whole going-to-hell thing.

I think Christopher Hitchens is much more obnoxious, actually. Equally militant, but not so well spoken as Dawkins.
Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic? He isn't sure if there is a dog.
