It never sat well with me that the stereotypical Atheist (as opposed to mere Agnostic) is alledgedly NTP while STP is so often tied to mainstream religions. They're practically the same type.
.....Maybe it's because you can sway Ti to work for any side you choose if you use it the right way, but Ne vs. Se would make it more of a social issue, where Se-using STPs support an active religious structure in society while Ne-using NTPs feel intruded upon and threatened by it.
What in the hell are you talking about Se and STPs. As if Ti isn't an ISTPs MAIN function. Maybe you should look in the mirror about swaying Ti. Ti as a dominant function is not swayed, it is the dominant one. I have my beliefs, I believe in my beliefs, am I religious? No, I don't really like religion and believe its a part of what screws up the world. Is it gods fault, no, its man because man is very good at swaying Ti to believe what it wants. But you know what, apparently I am an atheist, who when it comes down to it has recently found that I follow the words of the bible more then most Christians. And you know what I follow? Love thy neighbor, help others, the things that revolve around caring for others. Do I worship? NO, I don't believe in worshipping anyone or anything. Do I go to church, ehhh...with others...why? because my time is best spent doing what I do. If you are raised with REAL morals not just a set of RULES all you have to do is look inside to know your path in this world. Do I need something to believe in? No, why, because my internal beliefs are so strong that I don't need to take on external beliefs from a bible. Like I said, the kicker is that as I talk to REAL christians, not just followers, the ones who actually take EVERYTHING that's said into account, not just a paraphrase here and a paraphrase there, I have more strength, more morals, and more back bone then those who go to church.
Welcome to a dominant Ti, it rules our world and all our other functions are here to support it, especially Se which SEES the real world and not just close its eyes and be forcefed by others.
Do I question whether I am atheist or not, no. Why, because in the grand scheme of things, that doesn't mean shit. I follow my morals, be nice, be courteous, be helpful, and stand your ground. And just like I have told countless others, if Worship, bow down to me, follow me blindly is what god is all about, then he can kiss my ass. I will support any religious activity that revolve around the principles of caring and kindness, those that revolve around "FEAR GOD", vengeance, etc. can go cry in some corner together singing kuumbaya or how ever the hell you spell it.
Stepping down from my pedestal and in ISTP style, walking off on my own path. Screw social structure
