Who or What is Your God?

WODIN

बुद्धकर&
Platinum
For all the Atheist / Agnostics on the board.

Religion...simply that which you do everyday on a continual basis with some measure of faith in the unknown.

Your God...That which you look to for solace, that in which you find personal comfort.

According to these basic definitions who or what is your God?
 
fucking money!

fuck being content
fuck feeling love
fuck feeling complete
fuck the after life and everything in it.

Give me money and fast cars.................
 
I find comfort in reason, rationality, and science.
science as a candle in the dark as Carl Sagan would say.
 
god money i'll do anything for you...god money just tell me what you want me to do...


your definition of an agnostic's religion is odd... but i put my faith in eagles football....

This is the standard sociological definition of religion Madbomber31.
 
Definitely a strange definition....but under those terms I'd have to say nothing. Pulling up second and third I would say Nature and Music.

And Wodin, that may be the standard sociological definition of religion but not that of atheism or agnosticism. Therefore your point is moot.
 
Religion: The quest to improve myself both physically and mentally

God: My family and I and of course nature

Your argument is superflous, this definition was developed to encompass the "Faiths" of Agnosticism and Atheism. For it requires just as much to not believe as it does to belive. Look at the fervent behavoir on both sides of the coin and you see similar behavoirs!
 
My religion is having sex with cute petite girls with tight pussies.

My god is Winona Ryder because she has to be the hottest piece of cute and petite pussy on this planet.
 
So far I see worship of Greed, Lust and Man.... what no Envy, Sloth, Averice, Pride or Arrogance. Afterall there are really only so many "true things" you can worship...you all are mearly expressing the manifestations of your worship.
 
I believe is a supreme power who rules, call him GOD or Budda of ALA
 
When I die, I must go before Crom, and he will ask me, what is the riddle of steel? And if I do not know it, he will cast me out of Vahalla and laugh at me. That's Crom. Strong on his mountain.
 
Crom! I've never prayed to you before, I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you will remember if we were good men or bad, why we fought, or why we died. No. What's important, is that two stood against many. That's what is important! Battle pleases you lord Crom, so I ask you to grant me one request, grant me REVENGE! And if you do not listen, then the hell with you!
 
wodin, personally i believe that putting faith in something means to believe or accept without knowing.
that in itself seems like a stretch when used with anything aside from love and relationships... (here you may counter with relationship to a god).

as for the mention of greed and arrogance (especially the latter) just look at your peers who honor the all mighty all powerful god... the arrogance is overwhelming.

as for your definition of religion.. i believe it is faulty because not even a third of the "christians" or "faith havers" practice on a daily basis unless practicing encompasses general human morality and ethics... then 90% of the population can claim their religion as human decency and morality.
 
re·li·gion (r-ljn)
n.

Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.


A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
The life or condition of a person in a religious order.

A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.

A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.


the final definition seems to be the one you are using... when most think of religion they automatically associate it with a spiritual belief... i do not like the final definition of religion (its far too broad).. reason being is that so many people battle or strive for something or other in a non faithful way... non spiritual as well... its just a "want" or an "end"...

My god is stronger, he is the sky, over your mountain.
 
I am my own god. I control my destiny and whatever surrounds it.

Religion= unable to cope with the fact your on your own in this little world. Feeblemindeness. Brainwashed by your parents to believe in something that doesn't exist. I could go on forever
 
You people are blind!!!!
Fuckin' BLIND!!!

Anybody whose head is free from their ass know that the second coming of Christ is ALREADY here...

....and his name is ELIAN GONZALEZ.

The facts speak loud and clear:

This 5 year-old survived the high seas for 4 days and nights in his quest to reach the promised land, America.
He was reunited with his father (a surrogate father since God was his real daddy) on Easter Sunday, the 2000th anniversary of his first son's resurrection!

You heard it here first!!!
 
U could say the last one MB, but you have to add in the notion of repetitiveness in order to show the fundemantal physical strucuter of belief.

One can pursue a cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion for a limited time and then stop. I.E.. Many vets from WWII and WWI would fit this example. I'm not saying all but many would.

Therefore you need to add in repetativeness to for a fundmantel baisis of religion to exist.
 
I'm a good Catholic boy. Although I'm not exactly living in a state of grace and I haven't been to confession in several years. When I suspect the end is near, I shall confess my sins en masse and will thereby be able to accept last rites (very important to me) and then die and ascend.

I GOT THIS CATHOLIC THING WIRED!;)
 
this repetitiveness you speak of... do weekly sunday visits count? going to church weekly, yet being a complete dick all week... does that fit your required repetition?

or even if he is "good" by general moral terms but pursues something on a weekly or bi weekly basis, maybe more frequent but not daily... and he pursues it his entire life... does that qualify as his "religion"?

simple example... a guy strives for the perfect body... yet, only works out 2 times a week.. however he does it for 40 years... its his goal, its what he wants more than anything... yet, his repetitiveness is not daily or even close to being so...
 
Actually madbomber yes a once a week activity would fit the standard definition under sociological terms.

IF SOMEONE SAYS IM SELFISH I SAY THANK YOU. IN THE WORDS OF MICHAEL DOUGLAS IN WALL STREET " GREED IS GOOD" . MIGHT BE SAD YOUR RIGHT. DEF. AGREE THOUGH!
 
Sort of related to this topic:

I am a humanist.

And with the state of humanity as it is right now, that's nothing to be proud of! :(

hardgainer (on the 6th day God really screwed up)
 
humanism... ah, it would be such a wonderful world if we all practiced...
 
i am curious... since to have belief in satan means you MUST have belief in god (simple connection) does that mean satanic folk are christians?
 
Honestly I don't know what I really believe in. I respect others beliefs and just think that there is something bigger then us out there. What it actually is, who really knows.
 
Actually in the Satanic Bible uses satan as purely symbolic and that they are actually atheists in nature. But then in their second book The Satanic Rituals they do nothing but worship satan so I don't know what the to think about satanists that go by Laveyan thinking
 
HAILLE SELASSIE, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS! GIVE THANKS AND PRAISES TO THE MOST I . JAH RASTAFAI LIVES!!!
 
God: Music. It is there to comfort me when Im down, when Im sick, it makes me happy, it maketh me lie down in green pastures, it caresses my soul.
I don't even have to be playing. It is within me at all times. Music is always there; in my head, in my heart, it is the very core of my soul . It tells no lies, and it never betrays you.

Religion: Fate. Ke sera sera, whatever will be, will be. The future's not ours to see, ke sera sera.
The trick is accepting that it is not the outcome that matters, but the journey. The outcome is predetermined and cannot be changed. How you deal with it is your free will and being responsible for yourself will affect you in your next life. Have faith in yourself and the rest will follow.
 
There is no god, but if I ever pray to anything it is mother nature, so that's my god.
As far as the whole supreme being thats all shit people made up so they have something to do so they don't feel like their lives are being wasted, to make them feel there might be something to live for.
 
"trust me trust me trust me trust me i just want to start this over say you won't go this is love i'll make weapons out of my imperfections lay back and let me show you another way only this one holy medium brings me peace of mind cleanse and purge me in the water twice as loud as reason euphoria i've been far too sympathetic no one told you to come i hope it sucks you down life feeds on life this is necessary" - tool

But money can buy you all of these things, so you should strive for these things once you've reached your monetary goals. Didn't anyone ever teach you this?

All Atheists should accept me as their God. What's an Atheist's main problem with believing in God? You can't prove He exists?

Well, I exist. Hhere I am. Worship me.
