Me and my friend were talking and the subject of religion came up. He said that it was a christian nation. It bothered me because it isn't. My question is does it bother you when people say it is a christian nation?

I do. If no then why not?

I don't really get it. If two dude's or two chicks want to show the world they love each other then why should it be an issue? It's not like it's gonna hurt anybody.

would you accept him/her or would you try and put them on the "right" path?

I was in class today and we were having a debate about gay marriage but before I could give my answer someone said that they already knew I was against it. But they were surprised when I said I was all for it. Do you think that it is true that black people are more homophobic or is it just another useless stereotype?

just because I said that I thought that the idea that god would make people that he would then himself doom to hell(like gay people) is mean. What did god loving me have to do with the situation? For someone like me who is just now starting to come to terms with my own beliefs it can be a little annoying, So anyway why do they think that will change my mind?

P.s. I think that whole gays going to hell is just bull.

people always act like you're turning your back on them? Like I have to act like america can't do wrong.

I'm just bored and curious.

I would change the laws on gay marriage

Universal heath care

End racism(in it's latent form)

I always hear people criticizing the big bang theory because we don't know what caused it. Or I hear people say that something could not have come from nothing. So my question is who made god?

I have heard about this(I know I'm late) but what are they? They look like very colorful.

Picture it Sicily 1920...

How did you feel once you excepted that you were an atheist? Were you happy? Scared? Did you tell people? If so how did they react? I'm asking because after years of soul searching from being a strict catholic to an agnostic theist to an agnostic to an agnostic atheist and now just a plain old atheist I feel like I finally know myself. How did you feel?

Where do you stand on this scale

1. Strong Theist: I do not question the existence of God, I KNOW he exists.

2. De-facto Theist: I cannot know for certain but I strongly believe in God and I live my life on the assumption that he is there.

3. Weak Theist: I am very uncertain, but I am inclined to believe in God.

4. Pure Agnostic: God’s existence and non-existence are exactly equiprobable.

5. Weak Atheist: I do not know whether God exists but I’m inclined to be skeptical.

6. De-facto Atheist: I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable and I live my life under the assumption that he is not there.

7. Strong Atheist: I am 100% sure that there is no God

I'm about a 5

I have been thinking for a while about whether god exists or not and I have come to the conclusion that there more than likely is not a god. My problem is I don't know if I should talk to my family about it. I'm worried that they will try to convert me. Oh and if I think that there more than likely isn't a god would that make me an atheist? I don't want to scare them if I don't have to.

When I was a child I was taught that as long as you were good you went to heaven. If that is true you shouldn't have to believe in god in order to go to heaven. Right?

When I was growing up being a nerd sucked. Everyone made fun of you and called you names. Now all of a sudden it's acceptable to be a nerd. Like now I hear people saying they are a nerd or a weirdo. But yet I am still made fun of. Could someone possible explain that? Not complaining just curious.

he said that I hurt his feelings when I said that I didn't think it was plausable that god existed. What should I do? Should I never bring up religion since it seems to be a touchy subject? Is it hard to keep a relationship with someone if you have such varying beliefs.

At least in my state(ohio) it seems that way. It seems like all I hear is fag this and homo that. Why is it ok to speak that way when it is disrespectful?

for those of you who grew up in a religious household was it hard for you to come to the conclusion that there is no god? Did you tell your parents? How did they react? If you didn't tell them, why?

I consider myself to be an agnostic atheist(meaning I don't know if there is a god but I kinda doubt it) and I have been wondering whether or not I should tell anyone. I don't know any other atheists or agnostics. :(
