I want to say that I am an agnostic, and I don;t need/want anyone trying to tell me what I "really" am, and will block such people if they make themselves a nuisance to me.

I will not say "There are no gods" because that cannot be proven. A being intelligent enough to create what we see as the universe would be so far above us if it wanted it's existence to be in doubt we could certainly neither prove or disprove it.

There may be a "clockmaker" who created the universe with elements keyed in to create life eventually, and the "finely turned universe" argument really has not been disproved set it in motion and watches it operate for reasons we can't imagine. Again, a being that could create the universe we see would have to be beyond our comprehension.

So I am an agnostic, and don't need people coming at me telling me "No you're actually..." STFU!

I've had experiences in my life I cannot, obviously, "prove" that lead me to believe there may be more to our existences than the physical. Is it wishful thinking? I can't prove it isn't.

There are things I'm much more certain of, tho.

While there may be a creator and a 'Purpose" to life beyond what we know or can know now, I am pretty certain that the judeao christian god is not the creator of the universe and the purpose of our existence is to either grovel at his feet for eternity or burn in agony for eternity.

Most mainstream religions are human social constructs meant to create ands impose order, to give the "right" people an advantage and to put the "wrong" people at a disadvantage.

Thus most religions elevate men, oppress women, justify crimes against the "infidels" and so on.

I'm glaring at you, christianity and islam. Both these religions are clearly human constructs and meant to create hierarchy and control.

Christianity is as best we can determine a creation of the roman empire meant to quell rising jewish rebellion after crucifying countless jewish dissidents failed to do anything but incite more rebellion.

Islam was clearly created by an arab merchant and pedophile as a cash cow after he saw how successful the catholic church was at raking in the profits...

Also ancient judaeism now is known to have made a big deal of the asteroid that we now know took out the cities of the plains, most famously soddom and gammorah.

That terrible thing happened and it had global impact as we know know after being tipped off by some ancient babylonian astronomical tablets, and naturally when huge amounts of flaming hot brimstone fall from the sky and destroy several major cities primitive people knowing zip about real astronomy, meteors, orbits, etc, will assume it was a deity, and assume he had a reason to do it. So the stories of how S&G were destroyed (BLAME THE GAYS!) and how people could keep the big deity from doing it to them.

|And of course today we still see christians and muslims blaming the gays for fires, earthquakes, diseases, etc.

Christianity and islam are just militant offshoots of judaeism that spread not by the force of their truth but by the force of their violence.

No, I will not say there is no creator and nothing beyond what we scientifically call life. I have reasons to feel there may be.

Hell, I think my current life may well be some sort of result of being a real prick in a past one. I can;t prove it, don;t try to tell people to send me monye and do what i say because of my belief, it';s just something i pretty deeply feel.

But christiasnity, islam, other major religions mostly concerned with telling people how to vote, live, etc, sorry, I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
