He made agnosticism sound just like atheism, which as you know is not always the case. I just found it overly amusing how he basically made it sound like it was a plague upon the earth that must be exterminated. I'm agnostic and I think that it's a possibility there could be some godlike persona somewhere. I do, however, tend to draw a lot of philosophies from a religion, though.

That's... and? I'm an agnostic atheist that thinks there could possibly be a god. That's sorta the point of the agnosticism I don't claim to know one way or the other. And I know I could get it in the public domain, but I would really like a snazzy copy. Especially since my taking a copy as someone who is at least slightly educated regarding the modern theories means someone who just doesn't know won't get fifty pages of potentially swaying bullshit. That, and I really like books. And I have scissors. I could just remove the rant and have a nice copy.

Aw man, that video. I noticed he said humans have six senses, which is actually wrong, with or without the 'common sense'. Humans can sense their equilibrium, they can sense the location of parts of their body without looking at them, they can sense pain...even what we think of as 'touch' is a mixture of temperature and pressure senses. As for the 'something from nothing' idea from the origin of life, people say that it violates the laws of thermodynamics to create order by random chance, but the fact is that the law only applies to closed systems, and the Earth has the sun pumping energy onto it constantly. Even the Catholic church understands that the Bible can't be used as basis for a scientific observation. I remember seeing an interview with the church official in charge of the Vatican's observatory, and he explained excellently that the Bible was written down more than a thousand years before the emergence of science as we know it, so the Bible simply doesn't include any scientific fact. But anyway, that's my religious rant. Maybe on Thursday I could pick a copy up before I go to class. I figure I probably live at a big enough college that they'll be handing out the books here.

PattonFan said If everything has a maker, and everyone has a maker, who is the maker's maker? Click to expand... See, that would be presupposing there's something greater and more complex than God. And a fundamentalist religious person wouldn't accept that as a starting theorem. An evolutionist, on the other hand, might entertain the possibility.

Hey everyone, just browsing through here and happened across this thread So excited, because the site I usually discuss religion on just axed the religion forums. Boo to them Something I saw that intrigues me is how different people view atheism and agnosticism. I'm an agnostic atheist and a humanist as well, so I'd like to clear something up, If I may. Theism is the belief in God or a higher power Vishnu, Horus, Apollo, the FSM, etc. The a- prefix inverts the meaning thus an atheist is someone who does not believe. Agnosticism is a bit trickier but follow the same rule. The root of the word is greek, gnosis, meaning knowledge. A Gnostic, then, is one who knows. The person who coined the term agnostic meant it to represent exact what its literal meaning is- one who does not know. Therefor, one can be both agnostic and atheist without it being a contradiction of terms. In fact, as it is impossible to know 100 whether God or a higher power does or does not exist, it can be argued that we are all agnostics. In the same vein, we are all atheists to at least one god or even thing out there. No one, or at least very few, believe that Osiris is real anyone who does not is atheistic regarding Osiris. These are the actual definitions of the words. I hope to be in here a lot if religious threads are common it's a main area of study for me.

To quote Ghandi I don't hate the Christian God, I hate the Christians Click to expand... I was raised as a Christian, and I was forced to attend church on Sunday mornings or my mother said that I would not be allowed to live in the house. Once I turned 18, I went to college, and have never set foot in a church again, much to my mother's dismay. I find it incredibly hard to be a Christian because there are alot of things in the Bible that I do not agree with. That, and I had terrible experiences going to several different churches and I found nothing but judgement, resentment, and scrutiny. I want to be a Christian, but I dont know if I can. So therefore, I think I fall under the category of agnostic theistdeist.

Thread: Through Heaven, Hell and Earth (Lost_One17 and I)

How many moons had it been since the former General of Eternal Moon Kingdom Albel had departed his beloved home land, which had been consumed by the flames of fire and war? Albel didn't know the answer. Wandering the Earth in search of a place to settle down once more was no easy task. For his own part, Albel made most of his living as a mercenary slaughtering enemies of rising kings and protecting traveling merchants. Middle East, Greece, Rome, and eventually the New World were all places that eventually blended in all together in his memories while traveling. He was such a long lived being and many of the dealings with humans he had were such short lived according to his perspective. However a curious thing happened on the eve of a harvest moon, in the province of New York in the new world, something had happened that forever changed his world. While working as a body guard for one of the politicians he caught sensed something greatly disturbing in the air. He sensed an aura of innocence and pure light. Being a Vampire, it was instinct that ordered him to seek out this aura.... and capture and corrupt it. Alas, he had other tasks at hand Oi Smith! get a move on! Said the old man he was guarding. His voice snapped Albel back to reality What is it? I have to meet with some people at town hall. The old man responded. Albel nodded and continued to follow him. Still wandering the presence of the one he sensed on the streets.

How long had it been since HE had sent her to the mortal plain to act? How was she going to be punished this time for listening to HIM. Seline had spent the last thousand years cursed with wings of black, the mark left by God himself as a constant reminder that she was his angel of death. Though now unlike in the past she is not allowed to kill her target directly. Seline let out a soft sigh as she looked around the huge city. WOW! It's so big. She said in awe looking at all the bright lights. And I am so lost. Dropping her head she let out a sigh. Who in your name am I supposed to locate ONE evil soul in this place when there are so many? It's like trying to find the needle in the needle stack. She spoke to the sky. Crossing her arms with a huff she rolled her eyes. Fine have it your way, I will figure it out on my own and this will be a growing experience. She grumbled and headed off into the city. Great gotta find a corrupt, evil soul in New York of all pla- She was cut off by the presence of a strong aura of darkness and deception. A chill ran down her spine and goose bumps rose across her skin. I think I found what I need. She said moving in the direction of the dark aura.

The city hall meeting was filled with the noises of venmon and malice. Thought the old man was getting him good money. Albel couldn't help by yawn in absolute bordom at the meeting. The ancient vampire adjusted his tie carefully as he was hearing the polticions argue endlessly about bills, policies, and slander. He was used to hearing it since the days of monarchy when old monks argued endlessly about philosophy. It was boring then and it was no different now. He looked at his pocket watch carefully checking the time. The hour hand hit twelve, and the hour of rescess had arrived. A deep sigh of relief entered his breath, as he followed the old man to the bathroom where he waited outside trying to sense and ounce of trouble. Amidst his waiting a little girl approached him adorned in black dress, and sporting white hair. May I tell your fortune my lord. She said to him quietly. Albel was rather confused at the sudden question. He looked at the girl curiously. It had to be some kind of joke. The last fortune he recieved triggered the events of the fall of his once beloved home land No thinks me lady, It still has been long enough since I went to a teller Oh I believe the fates will want you to hear this. Why's that. Destiny wanted to award your role in the last War of the moon. The little girl shot back. Again, he looked curiously at her. The little smiled and continued You will be blessed with the wings of death. She proclaimed. Before Albel could do anything she vanished within an instant. The old man had come out of hte bathroom. Time to get something come now Albel Smith. Albel nodded in response following the old man to the cafeteria. It here that the same Pure lighted aura spurred on his mystical senses. Things were getting interesting.

Seline followed the dark aura the best she could until it disappeared. Shit. She muttered to herself. Well I guess now that I am here I might as well get me something to eat. She said with a hint of disappointment in her voice. Walking to one of the pizza joints that peppered the city. Ordering a slice of cheese she turned and leaned against the counter. Taking a bite she sighed heavily and looked out across the bright city. At freakin' midnight you should be able to see the stars not need sun glasses. She growled to herself. Finishing her pizza she stepped outside and leaned against the outside of the building watching the busy streets. People moving in a blur of constant motion. In the chaos of the city a little girl wearing a black dress and white hair stood perfectly still staring at Seline. A chill ran through her body making her blood ice in her veins. The little girl raised a small pale hand and curled her index finger calling Seline to her. Blinking rapidly she looked again and the girl was no longer there. I don't like this. She said to herself rubbing her arms in a feeble attempt at warming herself. Thinking for a second she finally gave into her curiosity and walked in the direction the little girl called her.

Your check will be in the mail the old man said Albel, handing him the receipt for his services. Albel Slipped it into his coat carefully. With the job for the day done, Albel took it upon himself to do one thing when night fell upon the city Hunt. When he was in his hundreds, he was always had the luxury of killing his opponents in battling and drinking his blood for his own. There was no need for him to keep hidden in the shadows. The times have changed though as Father Time aged the world gradually changes came which made it hard for him to outright kill victims. Thus a new method of hunting was developed. Many masterless Vampires would have to take to learning hypnosis and seduce theier vicitms and only take just enough blood from their prey to stay alive. He smiled bitterly every time he looked in the mirror and saw his reflection to get ready for a hunt which nonetheless became as dull as the bodyguard work he found himself doing in this very era. After checking himself in the mirror carefully in one a subway station. He went out for another night. Perhaps club Zanzibar will have something intriguing tonight. Though the type of Women that came to his favorite club were always of the same thread. However, before he can even walk a few blocks. He saw a little girl again, a few feet away holding her hand out to something or someone. She was the only that seemed to always stand out again in the crowd. Curious about the fortune he attempted to approach her. Though after only blinking one second she was gone. Before he knew it, he sensed again. That pure and innocent light he wanted to extinguish not out of fear but pleasure. When approached her position he recognized something, someone he knew didn't belong to the earth any more then he did. His eyes gazed at hers, matching the distinctive aura with her very distinctive beauty....

Seline stopped dead in her tracks when she felt the dark aura that close to her. Hey eyes darted around until they caught hold of a man's standing not to far from her. She could see it, his dark aura. He was handsome but she knew his type. Walking slowly towards him she set her eyes ready to fight him. A little voice in her head was screaming at her to stay put or run away, anything but go to him. Walking with long slow strides she passed by him and gave him a quick glance. I know what you are. She said in the moment of passing and vanished from the street. Standing on the roof of the building at the corner of the street her wings were spread. Sinking to the floor with her hand over her mouth her heart threatened to rip from her chest. Calm down. He didn't see where you went. She tired to calm herself but was having a good deal of trouble doing so. Taking a deep breath she released it slowly. Ok, what the hell is going on, first that strange little girl then that guy. Whats going on in this city? She asked finally building the courage to peek over the ledge of the roof looking for him in the crowds below.
