Since joining, my view of religion in general has become more negative. Not sure how much influence the forum has had, especially since I'm not a very active member.

Wow, this threads still around! I've taken this quiz several times before, don't believe I've posted the results before. 1. Secular Humanism (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (97%) 3. Theravada Buddhism (92%) 4. Liberal Quakers (85%) 5. Nontheist (80%) 6. Taoism (75%) 7. Mainline to...

wow there seems to have been a lot of deaths on these forums. Mark, Deb and Randy, and now Flow :(

If your beliefs are so blatantly illogical, I'm afraid I cannot possibly take them seriously.

Boring? Are you saying your belief system doesn't make logical sense and you acknowledge it? Why would anyone believe something that doesn't make sense? How so?

That definition sucks because it says "one God", defining monotheism rather than theism in general.

whao! I didn't even notice it said "Panentheism"! I've never heard the term before! I like to end my sentences with exclamation points! It makes me look excited!

"Nontheistic Christianity" is the biggest oxymoron ever. Why don't they call it "Pantheistic Christianity"?

The reason it took me so long is because I was afraid of atheism. An atheist was the absolute last thing I wanted to be known as. My initial thinking that lead me away from Christianity was basically that all religions essentially serve the same God, so I shouldn't be exclusive to one of...

Nice thread. Although it should read "faith/religion or lack thereof". Except that's kinda long lol. I also came from a Christian background. My "deconversion" was a very gradual process. After I stopped calling myself a Christian, I still held firmly to theism. I started to learn more...

Hehe. When I first saw one of your posts, I thought you were a new incarnation of Mee. Welcome to the forums!

aww I really liked the way it looked with the green background. didn't see any problem with it.

I had another interesting dream experience last night. I dreamed I was lying in bed when a blanket started to move on its own accord. Then a blanket (maybe the same one) flew up and hovered above me. It was flapping around, and it was shaped like it had a head and two arms. It was a ghost...

yeah! another star trek avatar!

this page kicks arse

I like this explanation. I think if anyone is going to ask something like this, they should just say it instead of attempting to make it esoteric by talking about meanings of lives. So, I believe that any reason for your choices to matter is completely arbitrary. Does that make me a...

Since when is this a Chrsitian forum?

I think some people are missing the point. The point is that "what is the meaning of life?" is a nonsensical question. Meaning? What kind of meaning are we talking about? If this "meaning" is not the definition of a word, then what is it? Can anyone rephrase the question in a way that...

Come to think of it, I have had quite a few dreams that include fighting in some form. It might not be as much as 75%, but it is significant. Interesting ideas. Most of my dreams are like the one I just described, where the plot changes in the middle of the dream, and my mind pretends the...

It means.... I'm going to hell? It was probably inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, although I've never actually read it. I've read about it.
