Faolan† 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 I agree with you. I'm an Atheist as of now' date=' but i don't actively go out and put down others in their faith like some people do. If someone has questions about my lack of faith, and they address the issues they have with me in a respectful manner, it ends up a peaceful and often enjoyable, enlightening conversation from both ends. I don't mind people telling me things about their faith at all, I welcome hearing about things people feel, and i like extending a helping hand. I can't say I'm doing any Gods work because I don't personally have one, but I am trying to make myself, and everyone i come into contact with better people. [/quote'] Until reading this post I would've mistaken you for agnostic hah. In any case welcome to the forums, people are kind and open about their beliefs (it's generally a relaxed place). If it hasn't been mentioned (that is if i didn't miss it in someone else's post) the IRC would be a good place to get started on that active looking for discussion with different individuals :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turnabout 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 Agnosticism and Atheism are hard to define. Agnosticism would imply I have a shaky belief of God but need further reason to solidify my believe. But as it stands it would take a solid amount of proof for me to convert, which I would be willing to do given proof, scientific mind set and all. Of course I have read the bible, and I know all the faith based arguments against this, so no need to go into them, just presenting my justifications. Thank you for the welcome, and I will try the IRC some time soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faolan† 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 Agnosticism and Atheism are hard to define. Agnosticism would imply I have a shaky belief of God but need further reason to solidify my believe. Agnosticism is not a belief pertaining singularly to God. the main difference (far as I can tell) is that Agnostics have a belief or rather inkling of something greater than themselves whether or not it be any distinguished diety or not that may or may not effect the world around them. The Atheistic approach is the absolute belief in the finite and solely physical, or to put simply that there is nothing out there beyond the tip of your nose until proven to physically exist so to speak. As a personal note I will add that I have nothing against Atheism itself, but let's just say I find myself in this forum rather than my local furry forum due to unchecked Atheistic zealotry. So therefore... the reason I though you Agnostic is that your presence here and what you want to talk about are in seeking the idea to find what may or may not be there, without some minor inkling or curiosity in the idea of a greater existence than our own, you probably wouldn't be here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turnabout 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 @Faolon A nice run down, but I may be less willing to yield than I appear to be. I certainly won't yield to social pressure very easily, just as you wouldn't from the atheist furs on your site. Though I was raised a Christian, I fell apart from the religion. I went to church as a kid, they had me take bible school, I'd go to bake sales and do food drives. But as i grew up it made less and less sense to me personally. So I stopped attending mass at church. But I still come by and drop off food, or shoe box gifts around Christmas, and I still donate to causes I feel deserve. So the way I see it I came out with a good moral compass with or without the religion itself. For me it is a matter of morality, and personal standards as well. And thanks to everyone else who said hi to me as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote'] well it's already been said in here but i'll throw it out there again, one of the nice things about the people around here is that accepting anything from us won't be a matter of yielding since nobody here as far as i've seen has the tendency to force someone else into a decisive position or cram things down throats as it were ^^ that said yield is interesting wording to use, as it does suggest you have an initial struggle with the acceptance of Christianity even before coming here :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turnabout 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2012 I had and have a struggle with people questioning me on the subject. It's an external situation, not internal. Thanks for all the acceptance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
