nah.. the fallacy IMO that those of faith have is that God could or should prevent such things. Pffff...

yin and yang man.. there is no renewal and rebirth without death and destruction. It is the cycle of life.

I used to, but weren't religious enough to go to church. I'm in a strange situation regarding my upbringing in that my father is actively anti-religious, but my mom is a (very heterodox) Lutheran.

Why should you share, not because the OP, but for the rest of us and perhaps for yourself.  One of the numerous reasons why this site was so great all those years ago. We not only worked together but we came to know each other, and came to care for each other.  The site, and those that posted here had personality and expressed it. Nowadays…very much less so.  Perhaps it is just me but I see people new to this site since I left it and returned and I don't think I could tell you a single thing about them based on their posts.

Definitely not necessary, no one is forced to have or express a personality online haha.. but it is one of the main reasons this site is not what it once was.


I’m still relatively new to this site, and anyone who’s seen my posts knows that I’m not too forthcoming about personal details.  That’s entirely my choice, as I’m sure it is for many others, and (for the time being at least) I’m comfortable with that.  It seems to me everyone’s expected to share and overshare with the entire web, but everyone’s going to seek his or her own comfort level.


As to the original question: I’ve never completely disbelieved, so if you absolutely positively had to pin a label on me, it’d be agnostic.

Well, I have to say you've set your expectations rather low. Although I can see you at the final judgement getting your sentence from a giant buttocks in a white wig:

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I have almost always called myself an agnostic, since I don't think that I can really know. That said, I relate much more to atheism than theism. I've been studying the Koran a lot of late....

The closest I came to religious formal studies would be in my Philosophy classes, and Sociology and Anthropology to an extent. It is fascinating, but the more I have self-studied religion, the more concerned I have become.

If I were to give a discourse about religion, it would not be deemed politically correct, and as much as I despise political correctness, I would be loathe to share my views here.

I have a problem with those who claim to practice it as well as those who created it.
