Same here. I really don't believe in religion and I think it's the cause of all the problems in the world today, but I did it anyway for the hell of it.

I'm an athiest....have been for over 20 years, before that an agnostic, and before that as a child I was a Baptist.

This test, as I understand it...isn't suppose to tell you what religion you are, or even believe. It just tells ya what you have in common with other beliefs

According to the test I would fit in with the Unitarians...they do welcome athiests into their church from what I understand.

And they don't so much as have a preacher preaching at them as they are more interested in discussions as a group as to the nature of gods and God. They discuss with each other the ideas of what faith means to each of them. For some that means there is a god and for others there is doubt and for still some..they believe in a force but not a sentiant force.

That is why some athiests can fall into that catagory (unitarians)...because some atheist do believe that an energy exists in this universe...but it's not a god by any stretch of the imagination, and or the energy is something that continues on in a different form after we die...but it's not a soul...it's just pure energy...thoughtless, shapeless, and that it will drift off to be absorbed back into nature.

I used to at least have some faith in the lord above, and then I was told that I couldn't have premarital sex by my girlfriend's mother, and she said that I was evil and wrong, so yeah, at this point, fuck God, and fuck anyone that tells me what I can't do, especially if they went and got nailed to a fucking tree.

Atheist, but they said secular humanist and what-not first.

So I'll tell you what you can do; its possible to have faith in God and to choose not to follow the example of Christ to every last detail. Example: Your girlfriend's mother when she decided to judge you and confront in a negative way. It may have been acceptable if she did it out of concern for you, but it seems that she was only interested in protecting her daughter and controlling people, which she has no right to do (except for maybe protecting her daughter).

Having premarital sex may not be a great thing in God's eyes, but thats not for me or your girlfriend's mother to decide. The bible is like a guidline from God about how to live our lives. Its up to us individually to decide if we want to follow it..

Yeah, see, this is about the time I say bullshit. A man isn't judged by a book, a book most of the followers can't read in its original tongue, a man is simply what he does on his own. There is rarely a right, and very rarely a wrong. Consentual Sex can't be a sin, and it's just plain stupid to think that it is.

Heres what I think.

Agreed that a man isn't judged by a book. I believe in God and after that comes trusting the bible. I trust that Jesus is who he said he is and that the things he said are the same as what God would say.

I agree that generally speaking there is rarely a right or wrong, but I think there is one exception. If what Jesus taught is true, then when the bible says that consentual premarital sex is a sin (ie; wrong in God's eyes) then I'm happy to trust that this is true.

I will still explore the reasons for it being wrong because I'm not satisfied with finding out that I shouldn't do something simply because it's a sin. I always need reasons otherwise I find myself half-heartedly believing in things, which drives me mad. I am yet to find a sin that has no good reason for being a sin.

If anyone wants to disagree with what I trust that God thinks is right or wrong, thats fine by me. I guess I posted because what your girlfriends mother said got me angry, nobody should talk like that to anyone.

I dont believe in the Christian God or any religioins view of a God for that matter.

And how can an instinct be wrong? Why would people even need to be told whats right and wrong... that whole concept goes against being human.

You've got it mixed up. First, you trust the bible, then you believe in God. The whole concept of God in the Christian sense comes from a 2000 year old book that some superstitious people took too seriously. If it wasn't for the Bible, you wouldn't have a god to believe in.

I am yet to find a sin that has no good reason for being a sin. Masturbating.

In the USA the most popular version of the Bible is the King James version. With is probably the most butchered version of the Bible that we have....although it is one of more poetically translated version.

Many people don't even realize that the very earliest versions of Holy Bibles had many more books in the them but due to political ideology - many books and/or chapters of 'books' left in the bible were edited out. This was done purely for reasons of power and control over the caste system that was in place in Europe at the time.

Those in power didn't want the 'masses' under their control to challenge their leadership.

Kings and popes have all had a hand at gutting the scriptures and leaving in only those things that helped confirm their rights to hold a throne or their rights to force people to go to their church and collect taxes for said chuch and keep care of the priests of that church.

Many of the chapters left out of the bible did deal with what the common man should do about the corruption of leaders.
But most people back then couldn't read and had to rely on the monks, priests and educated rich people to tell them what the bible said. They were never told that the holy scriptures gave them rights too.

I just don't understand how any Christian can form a complete opinion about their God, and world around them when they won't accept any other version of the bible except the one they grew up with.

Other versions are still out there, in print, and the "lost verses, chapters, and books" that were removed are still available for study but mostly ignored by the mainstream Christian today.
The sad thing is...unlike their european ancestors of over a thousand years ago, the Christians today can read.

They just prefer to remain ignorant of their own Bible's history of being edited, and cling to the idea with sheer narrow-minded opinions that their version of the bible is the correct one.

Yes, complete and total frauds.

If you want to follow a book that has the main character get nailed to a tree, then you're welcome to it.
