We can start off I guess by getting people to state their own faiths. I'm an atheist, aways was, though a good portion of my extended family are Christian fundamentalists (and more than a little crazy).
Discussion and arguement are welcome, but no flaming or bashing please.
Have fun.
Of Raven heart and Sable mind.

Deist? I've never heard of it. What do you...worship/do? |
Basically, its belief that a higher being created the universe, and the higher power in the universe is reason.

Was always an atheist, Never baptized, whoot whoot. If there is a god, he did not want to have anything to do with me.

That sounds like Christianity... |
Our reason is the higher power. There isn't a god going around giving us choices, and we aren't destined to follow it. It gives us a reason as to how the universe was created. Also, there is no afterlife. Its almost exactly like Atheism, except that we believe that some higher being created the universe. Atheists don't know what created the universe, and Agnostics believe...no higher being created the universe.

I am a Deist, and also apparently a disciple of Raeness, which is something my friend tricked me into becoming. |
....There is a story here I want to hear.
^Agnostics don't know what they believe....get off the goddam fence already :p

Atheism is the lack of belief in God. Agnosticism is when a person is unsure whether there is a God or not, but opens up the possibility that there might be some higher being out there.
You all know what I am by now -__-

The last time I had a topic like this there were problems and religion tends to start many, many problems. I'm going to discuss with the rest of the staff how this should be discussed. I'm thinking of making a Mature Discussion section (although I'll probably call it a more interesting name) and place serious threads there.
Sorry for this, look out for an announcement on what we are going to do with serious topics that require maturity, knowledge, etc. to be discussed like these.
Signature thanks to Shu.

^ I may be wrong about most or all of that, don't flame me for it please, but I'm 95% sure that's correct...
And also, I'm personally Catholic, but I do...question...my beliefs. That's about as far as I'll go with that.
EDIT: Sorry Blazer, didn't see you posted before me. It's okay if you delete my post.

I'm sorry, but, I've come to a temporary decision. The last time I had a topic like this there were problems and religion tends to start many, many problems.

That's fine. I think you're making the right decision.

I don't speak german but I'm sure you all know what that means. (Just look at the two words you know)
But I find that a really wise saying, after all it's difficult to shake someone of religion (as are drugs) and people who "awaken" from their religion are often resentful of their religious selves and the religion they were a part of (just like druggies go on about how they never were happy with themselves and are so happy to be "cured")
I know this is heavily anti-religious, I put in "awaken" to upset those of you who are religious, feel honoured;)
