Why are so many people capable of believing anything?

[Siro]

What kind of atheist would you consider yourself?

One who doesn't really care.

or

One who actively looks to disprove any form of higher being, is fairly serious in their disbelief that they treat their disbelief like a religion.

I care very much. I don't think it's irrelevant. I think it matters. I am also agnostic in a sense. I didn't actually scour the folds of space and time and found only an absence of gods. My philosophy on life would take several pages to summarize. If you're interested you can read the debate I had with Atheist Preacher.

It's a few pages in.

You're not going to feel that same spirit cranking some Eminem, even though the guy has written a few good songs that pump you up. You're not going to feel that same spirit watching a Porno.

Depends on your religion/culture.

Being a person who doesn't care I probably won't read anything on this topic that takes over 1 minute to read.

The worst thing in the world is listening to "intellectuals" debate over God vs No God. It's so ridiculously boring and pretentious sounding. Or at least that is how I feel about it.

I would consider myself agnostic, but I really don't give it that much serious thought. If God does exist, I really don't think he cares that much what we do. If he doesn't, then he doesn't.

One day I will die and I will find out, until then it's not a big deal.

I understand your thought, but if God is our creator, then by that very definition he is our father. I think a father often cares very much about what his children do.

Also, I think pretentious is my least favorite word of all time. People overuse it in a way that makes it seem like talking about something meaningful is something to be embarrassed about.

This in line with how I think as well. I also think He has a much larger sense of humor than people attribute to Him. I can not immagine ""perfection" with out a sense of humor. Just look around. There are examples of His humor everywhere.

I think platypuses are my favorite of his jokes.

I read the title and assume this thread to be mis-categorized. Mods, please move to the "Utah Jazz" forum.

I actually thought of that animal immediately when I posted that.

I do not think we are alone and I do not think he is bored of us.
