No, I worship the Amphibious Rotini Monster.

Short answer: I am.

Long answer: I completely believe that gods that possess self-contradictory properties, according to the rules of logic, do not exist, because they cannot. This writes off the Abrahamic gods and many others. (Any god that is both omnipotent and omniscient, for example.) Additionally, as for gods that could theoretically exist, I do not believe in them on account of there being no evidence of their existence: I take the approach that scientists do, of placing the burden of proof on the positive, not the negative.

Three who answered. I can think of at least 3–4 more I know.

Maybe you should attach a poll if you want quick numbers.

I'd tell Kola he should have just set up a poll, but he has me on ignore because the truth hurts.

What does it matter?

"But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."

I believe in all those gods.    Since the dawn of time, man has struggled to deal with the infinite, and has come up with complex mythologies to express something that is beyond human ability to even conceptualize, let alone put to words.

Caleb, as you know I respect peoples freedom to choose...a;though I may not agree with them.

I would like to know because I like spending time (and ideas and thoughts) with people who have similar interests as mine. It is readily apparent that some posters here have problems with my beliefs and have noted so. But anyway,its no different than me choosing people to hang out with who like baseball or hot rods or certain foods.

I am in no way saying people who are atheists are wrong or bad people. It is very clear many folks here who are atheists are very good people.

I happen to believe quite strongly in a "spiritual" manner that is based on NA Indian tradition. It appears the freestarter crowd is mostly atheists and this would definitley turn me away from ever considering moving to NH and hanging out with folks. Then again, most here dislike me anyways as we often disagree on just about everything.    

Now go ahead, ammo up and start firing.
