My mom is a religious nutter. She's one of those Christians that takes the Bible literally, but even as a kid I knew a lot of it was bullshit. And then when I got older I found out that Christians as a whole have been misinterpreting the Old Testament the entire time and then REALLY facepalmed, specially since they keep fucking doing it to this day.

I'm convinced this is purgatory because just enough stuff goes right for me despite it usually being fucking shitty to live on this planet.

Agnostic, because I'd like to believe something greater than ourselves is out there, but I just can't put complete faith in that without some sort of evidence to back it up.

Let's see:
Religions are bullshit, all of them, just read a "holy book" or 2, they're nonsense.
I don't know whether a god exists but there's no such thing as omnipotent/omnipresent/omniscient.
If the universe was a conscious creation, it was probably created by scientists, not a wizard.
Even if a god in the way we think of it exists, there is no afterlife because why the fuck would god want to be pestered by souls of hairless apes for all eternity? What does god get out of there being an afterlife? The answer is "nothing" unless he's harvesting souls for energy or food but if that's the case, there's still no afterlife because we either get eaten or burned.
I have this fun hypothesis I came up with a long time ago:
If you look at an atom, it's a big ball with smaller balls travelling around it, that's a lot like a a solar system.
What if a solar system is an atom, a galaxy is a cell, a cluster of galaxies is an organ and the universe is just 1 living thing?
The universe is expanding because the thing is still going through it's growth period, it takes billions of years for us but for that thing, it's not nearly as long, just like our cells go through thousands of generations throughout our lives.
Black holes are essentially cancer which eats healthy cells.
This can also go the other way::
What if our cells are galaxies?
What if, whenever your stomach aches, there's an intergalactic war going on inside you?
What if viruses are really highly advanced civilizations which invade a living thing, mine for resources and move on to another living thing?
I can't prove any of this but, as far as I can tell, nobody can disprove it either and it makes a lot more sense than any religion I can think of.

I'm ambivalent.
On one hand, I've seen enough horrible shit happen that I can't believe that there's some omniscient being with a 'master plan' (What master plan could possibly involve a 6-month-old getting beaten to death by their drug-addled parent?)
On the other hand, I've seen enough amazingly logic-defying shit to lead me to believe that something is going on.

I'd like the movie version of "Percy Jackson" be real because I think hanging out with a Pierce Brosnan centaur would be pretty awesome, not to mention Alexandra Daddrios titties

It's rationally clear to me that there is a God and no man could have invented something as intricately constructed as Islam is, let alone alone an illiterate man, and so it is apparent to me that this is the religion of God.

God is real and his son was named Jesus.
Its funny we just had a sermon about the Bible itself. Most of the events in the new Testament were formally written about 20-30 years after Jesus was ressurected by people who walked with him. Which means most of the people who witnessed Jesus were still alive and could call out any mytholigizing or just ignore the religion. The apostles knew their continued belief in Him would and did result in their tortuous deaths but they put it out there snyway.
Thats all side stuff though and not why I believe. Really the biggest proof for me is how it hits you right in your soul. Nothing on this Earth fills that hole.
God Bless

The idea that Christians, Jews and Muslims can all hold the belief of "Those people are going to hell for worshipping the wrong people" despite not having any actual evidence than some dusty old manuscripts proves to me that either:
a) There is no god, hence why this infighting in the God fandom exists in the first place.
or b) There is a god that is willfully leaving us in the dark about his existence. In which case, fuck him.
That as well as shit like the paradox of the stone, holy books contradicting themselves (eg: the death of Judas) and the fact that mostly the only people into religion are the ones that were told to believe it since they were gullible kids or are just morons that enjoy being wilfully ignorant because they don't want their life's worship to have been for naut.
I do not hate religion, the Bible mostly gives good morals to live by and people can believe whatever they want as long as they don't hurt anyone but as far as I'm concerned, Christianity is no different than the beliefs held by the ancient Greeks, which we only call myths because there is no-one that still believes in them around to be offended.

Grew up Christian. Never saw evidence of a God or a similar being. Spirtuality is cool, but I'm not a spiritual person.
I agree with the above poster. Let people believe whatever they want. Just as long as they don't hurt anyone else or force their beliefs on the populous.
