3 Christians.

Here's a first, Christians are in the minority. Go minority!

Yes, there are only three Christians on the poll. But I think you underestimate their influence. Put up a poll asking how many people here were indoctrinated by or were former Christians, and I bet the stats change DRASTICALLY.

A number of members have said as much that this forum has helped them come to terms with their irrational need for faith and declare themselve atheists. Heh. SD.net: Providing Flames of Support for Recovering Religionists.

If there was an all mighty, all knowing, all caring, omnipotent, transcendant, [snip 45 lines of text] , all loving God, He commited suicide and exploded in the Big Bang...

That should make me an atheist (or the pope of a new religion)!

Actualy I think that it would make you a deist.
There is a god, but he no longer interferes in worldly affairs, cuz he's dead, but he did create the universe by offing himself and causing the Big Bang. Yeap, that's a deist, one weird deist, but a deist non the less.

I wonder how long it is before some sheltered person stumbles upon this thread, and dies of a heart attack resulting from the shock of seeing so many godless infidels who refuse the bask in the glory of God.

Actually, I pointed it out to a sheltered person who was subsequently depressed that there are so many godless infidels who refuse to bask in the glory of God. Their reaction: "It's still only a handful of people, you know. You won't be missed when you're not in Heaven."

I like my odd beliefs that, by all things told and said, points to being an athiest.

I'd say I'm Aganostic, but since that wasn't one of the options, I put "Christian", since I'm being raised in a Christian household.

Millions of people are a "handful?" I see she went for the smug "you'll all burn in Hell" response. Typical.

I used to post at the Landover Baptist message boards like that all the time. And the fact that the United Methodists draw the ire of the Southern Baptitsts should be a point of pride on your part, don't you think?

Well...we don't let the local Southern Baptist church forget that we own their land

. One of the advantages to being the oldest church in a small town. We used to own nearly 70% of the land (IIRC), and still hold a fairly good portion, most of which we use for community projects (such as the local Little League fields that are on our land, which we rent to the city for $1/year).

the example he used was "For example is there a giant invisible green banana orbiting the planet Venus, I can prove there is or isn't (Agnostic) but I don't believe there is (Atheist)"

Reformed Christian. So reformed, that I no longer accept the tenants of God, The Son, or The Holy Spirit.

In short, I am an atheist.
