What's your religion?

[professor goodstain]

Those pesky Baptist terrorists and suicide-bombers, why are there so many out there? :rolleyes2:

That paragraph i wrote was not sarcastic. They go to an extreme to counter an extreme. And to an extent they've at least opened some eyes.

I understand that the best way to beat temptation is to give in to it.

You are CORRECT. Give in till all is lost. Then the temptation is no longer tempting.

[Blackmail!]

Are you a hot man with a big .........?

A big rake? A big hoe? A big trowel? A big plumb line?

[Costrin]

A big rake? A big hoe? A big trowel? A big plumb line?

Ooh ooh! Mad libs!

Hmm... a noun...

Apple tree!

[Nonsensical]

A big appetite? A big ego? A big pair of sneekers?

Excuse me, not too long ago you referred to me as a soft porn peddler.

My favorite thing about typologycentral rules: You can be as brutally insulting as you like, as long as you don't use any bad words!

EDIT: Insulting people in free verse helps, too.

I have no religion except...happiness maximization. Everything reduces to that.

Agnostic.

And I'm continually surprised by the number of athiests who seem to find it necessary to harangue me with with hopes they can convert me to the "dark side."

Were I to chose my own religion, I would select Shinto.

Certain places do have an aura.

They probably just want you admit that you must have a guess one way or another (which may or may not be true for you.) Most atheists are actually also agnostics; this just means they aren't certain but guess that God as described by mainstream religion probably doesn't exist. I've met a number of self-described "agnostics" who are really essentially agnostic atheists, but refuse to make the leap to atheism because of some kind of stigma attached to that word. Atheism doesn't require faith or absolute certainty, nor does it require one to dismiss all possible imaginable conceptions of God (most of us are perfectly ok with abstract/metaphorical gods.)

If you are so uncertain about God that you have absolutely no guess whatsoever as to whether or not he exists, then yes, you are agnostic, but that term is not reserved especially for people who agree with you on that--remember that "agnostic" just means "without knowledge."
