It seems to me that, during my short time here on the forums, the majority of the AG Community is Atheist. Is this just me, or is there truth to my thoughts?

Do I count as a major contributor or just some guy that spams the hell out of these forums?

What's the difference?

Not yet, on this thread you are a contributor, on this section? Not yet, your time will come.

Mine won't though, I'm not active enough lol.

I generally found my debates, especially with Mage, ended up boiling down to the philosophy behind faith. Other than that I ranged from discussing biblical properties to other, more concrete, aspects of Christianity.

Considering it went down on faith then I feel ROUND 2 is in my favor.

Sonatavarius I have no idea what you was talking about so I'll just let that roll on. Good night all!!!!

I think I speak for most of us when I say everything :P

All I could figure out was that, due to exams, you're stressed and busy.

By the way - we're considering Atheists in this topic as someone who is not following a religion and does not believe in deities, correct?

Yes, that is my definition.

Also, wow. The topic kinda exploded :P

An atheist is an individual that does not believe in a deity, religion is unimportant as there are some atheistic religions.

Mind you we come in many flavors (agnostic, ignostic, apathetic, etc.) but that's for another thread.

Not to name names but people who are insulted repeatedly sometimes tend to not want to argue with that same group of people for long.


I agree, out community does a piss poor job of attempting to discuss, rather than debate, with others of different beliefs. Admittedly some aren't very competent but others were very fun to talk to about religion and other things.

Who cares about religion? I just want to become dictator and rule the lands with an Iron Fist granted to me by me. But yes the evidence is pretty harsh against religions because they have less evidence than atheists.

Eh, it's the majority atheists. The reason theists don't come here is because it's plain boring. After about 20 times of saying something to an atheist just have it go in and out their head everything. Then the atheist will turn around, proclaim him/herself as highly superior in intelligence, call the theist ignorant for sticking to their beliefs, send a link to Wikipedia/an atheist site, call the religous site uncreditable and biased, recycle another question, insult religon(and often do a pisspoor job of it) and call the theist a troll for defending his/her faith, the science is brougt in, the theist us called ignorant for being spectical of part if science, more debate that barely has to do with religon, the theist is called ignorant just for fun this time . And so it continues. And people really wonder why there are very few theists...

Amen brother, It gets pretty annoying, after taking down what they said about 20 times, they say it again. They keep using the same tired facts over and over again. What they don't realize is that they are keeping such a closed mind that they are on a warpath to destroy religion rather than have a clean debate. They are accepting theories and speculations as truth, then calling me an idiot for doing the same thing, but they're so all knowing cause they have some shaky- pseudo science speculations and biased resources to back themselves up

Exactly what have you "taken down"...

Because you're too stubborn to even look at them or consider them.

I'm perfectly open to a new idea. I'm not against religion other than that, there is absolutely no proof for it other than vague personal feelings. If god was to talk to me, i'd beleive in him. If he was to show me a sign, i'd beleive in him. God could if he wanted to, and since he supposedly loves all, he would, but he hasn't, and thus I can only conclude that he does not exist.

You are simply a fool if you wait for some confirmed sight to believe. If you are too blind to see the signs God places in front of you every day, then you are lost.

Or maybe, just maybe, they are complete crap and have been considered but rejected. Maybe I don't need a fancy explosion in front of me or God's voice to speak directly to me to believe. Maybe Ive tried being atheist for a time but it just was miserable and pointless. Maybe I felt a calling and that was enough for me. But because of all that I have become the stubborn one? Apparently I can't except both science and religon, because we all know that would be crazy?

Well I know for one, it's much more that you ever 'stuck up' and presented
