Are you religious?

[Kate]

How would you describe your spiritual beliefs?

You can vote for more than one if you want. This is a secret poll.

 

[Nadia Maximus]

Wow, so far 100% spiritual

 

[Frankie]

I am a religious spiritual humanist with firm belief in e-smoking.

 

[Kate]

You could have ticked all the boxes Frankie

 

[jimmy2pax]

I used to be Agnostic, but now I'm not so sure.



Brian.

 

[Bertrand]

Atheist / religious bigot. I'd like to be more tolerant, but there you go.

 

[PeteMcArthur]

Difficult one here Kate Does religion involve faith? Not all do Your leaving us out in the cold here. Just to confuse the issue I voted spiritual+humanist which probably comes closest to my beliefs or lack of them.

 

[Kate]

Sorry my child you will have to seek your own inner guidance on the meaning of religion and faith

I can't say really, I don't believe in the easter bunny, santa or the tooth fairy and my view of organised religion is similar, not too serious.

Atheist / religious bigot. I'd like to be more tolerant, but there you go.

The worst moment for any atheist is when he feels grateful for something and has no-one to thank.

 

[Kate]

I thank my lucky stars I'm not superstitious

Come on folks, get voting if you haven't already, this is a formal academic study, the future of esmoking depends on it.

 

[Bertrand]

Nah. The worst bit is when he dies and realizes the Catholics were right. (Recalling the old Rowan Atkinson sketch, although I think the Jews were right in that one.)

EDIT: mpaa hasn't gotten to this one yet:

What is a humanist and why are there so many of them?

Do we have them in the West Country?

 

[Kate]

"Humanism is a comprehensive life stance that upholds human reason, ethics, and justice, and rejects supernaturalism, pseudoscience, and superstition...

"Humanism has appeal to agnostics, apatheists, atheists, empiricists, freethinkers, Objectivists, rationalists, and scientific skeptics."

The poll is showing some very interesting results. There are more anti religious people here than religious, I wasn't expecting that.

I'm Still trying to deal with Santa not being real...

Kate, Say it isn't so...

 

[Reign]

I believe in a higher power...but have no interest in confining that belief to any one religion much less any denominations.

John 6:44 "No one can come to me (Jesus) unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

 

[frazzledglispa]

I officially recognize two Deities, the Invisible Pink Unicorn (May Her Hooves Never Be Shod) and Kate Bush, who is Queen of the Universe.

 

[Kate]

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a good one, I like the idea of being a Pastafarian.

There's another parody religion that's based on something to do with gravity but I can't remember anything else about it at the moment. Anyone come across this?

 

[frazzledglispa]

Kate, are you talking about Intelligent Falling?

The "theory of gravity" is insufficient to explain all of the implications of falling, therefore things fall because a higher being is moving them.
