Whats not awesome about getting naked and dancing around a fire?

Falling.

Also, I know a lot of people who get naked and dance around fires. You most likely don’t want to see most of them naked. I know I don’t. The problem with skyclad ceremonies is that the people who like them most tend to be the ones you want there least.

I call myself a “spiritual non-believer” – at least in the sense that while I have some ideas about the nature of fate and life and whatever comes after life, it definitely doesn’t fall into any specific religious belief system. I have a strong aversion to organized religions and magic books people wrote that claim to be the word of God, and in general I don’t believe in a god in the sense of a single person (or even a group of people) but more along the lines of a collective, largely apathetic glob of wisdom and knowledge which infrequently (if ever) interferes in small ways to move the universe in a positive direction. Generally, I’m of the “we as people can’t really ever comprehend the big issues” mindset, but it’s often an interesting intellectual exercise to examine the big picture in a way that seeks to better understand some levels of the greater world in which we live.

Then again, religion or faith or whatever doesn’t really play a huge role in my life, except when I’m bored or when something really huge happens, like people dying. Then I take it upon myself to make some shred of sense of all of that, or otherwise I would be betraying the human gift of curiosity.

A Lutheran(ELCA) attending an Episcopal Church. So I guess I’m Episco-Lutheran.

3. No, I do not know how to make the cookies/sugar cake/Lovefeast buns. I’m not a goddamn Keebler elf.

Aw, but the Keebler elves rock!

Not when the usual response to your religion is, “Oh, do you know how to make the cookies?”

Still, I suppose it’s better to be part of a religion known for delicious baked goods than one that sends souls to hell.

Militant Atheist Log in to see images!

Seriously though, no belief in the supernatural, pretty certain I’m never going to be proven wrong in that, maybe technically speaking an agnostic atheist because I can’t claim perfect certainty. But that’s really only on a technicality; there’s no actual doubt in my mind and as far as I’m concerned the issue is proven enough to satisfy every standard that matters (just not the “absolute perfect certainty” standard)

The militant part… well, if I come into contact with someone strongly religious, I’m not going to keep my views to myself. Not going to seek out an argument, but I won’t back down either. I enjoy the debate, but I don’t take it personally – generally just have to hope that whoever’s on the other side is able to separate an attack on their illogical beliefs with an attack on them personally.

i happen to be a non practicing muslim…

Atheist, formerly Catholic. The older I got, the more I needed answers than stories.

I’m an Atheist, not because there is proof of no god, but because there isn’t proof of a god.

I’m a Roman Catholic.

But, a lot of my habits are culturally Jewish.

agnostic mostly.

I only lean towards atheism when christian bumholes push their views in my face. More of a “**** you loldongs!!!11one heil satan!” than a real reaction, I do that **** for the lulz to stir up the crazies.
