If that's agnostic, then that's what I am.

The latter half of my post wasn't defining what Agnosticism is >_>
I was just saying that I'm Agnostic *pause* and that I try respecting people's religions.

Agnosticism = Basically anywhere between Atheism and Theism

I'm a Christian :] (not prodestant or catholic, i'm just a plain Christian)
And there isnt any religion i disagree with unless it's satanism.
I'm a constantly chilled person in real life, so i've learned to control hatred, anger..that sort of thing xD so basicly theres not alot that bothers me, aslong as i believe in what i want.

I like and agree with your post.

Christians are awesome people to hang out with, there very nice and caring, and usually will have a good influence on whoever they hang around with.

Thank you
It's my out look on life - just relax, let everyone else be and never be bothered about what anyone else thinks or says (negative things of course )

Satanism isn't really a religion though, it's just a philosophy based on indulgence. They don't worship Satan, it's basically just Atheists thinking "I have nothing after this life so let's enjoy every aspect while I can". Downside is, it's a little selfish. It works for some people, not others. Different strokes for different folks. As for other religions, I believe in (forgot what the theory is called now) but that they're basically all different versions of the same story. Different paths to the same end goal.

I'm an atheist, and if I can say this without offending anyone, religion disgusts me. Not that I don't respect people who do follow a belief, but in my experience, religion tends to embody a disproportional sense of self-importance and egotism that irritates me. I'm quiet about my belief (or disbelief, as it were) and I've never gone out of my way to express it or attempt to bring anyone else around to my side; yet, whenever I get asked about it by someone who does have a belief in some form or another, I always get assaulted by these people who, for reasons unknown to me, feel themselves to be more important than me because a book told them they are. What gets me the most in these conversations is the seemingly widespread mindset that people who don't follow some doctrine or another need to be "saved", and the people who do follow are the only ones who can. I respect followers of religion when they can respect my views and can present a sane state of mind and logical reasons for the path that they choose to follow, but only then.

I'm okay with religion when the main focus is community instead of devotion, where the followers commune to benefit everybody instead of just gathering to praise a deity.

Hm. Probably my longest post on this forum. XD
