JangoFett

Again, no arguments here, just to see the diversity

I edited the atheist and agnostic options to cut out the usual pedantic bullsh1t about the definition of each word. Hope you don't mind.

Nah man, not at all, I want to avoid a flame war

but you didn't give an option for the different christain religions - such as the various protestant religions > anglicans, presbyterians, methodists etc

I demand an "Atari is God" option.

This is AH after all

JangoFett

There isn't enough poll options for the amount of christian divides
Each of the others have their own sub divisions.

This is a broad ranging one to try catch as many people as possible

It's Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael tbh. A disagreement over whether the bread contains a particular ingredient or not that goes back for yonks and people vote for one side or the other based on their parents' preference. :rolleyes: All just different flavours of vanilla really.

Single religion, multiple denominations surely?

Where's the Scientology option?

People waste time trying to explain the workings of the world with the flawed processes of reason and science. Instead they should be channeling their energy and living spiritually.

Scientology falls under "other"

I'll keep my personal opinion on it out of this thread, but it's under "other"

It's actually hard to tell if your being sarcastic or not.

I'd love to know what belief those who fall under "other" have.

I can't think of any other besides Bahai.

Apathetic Agnostics.

We don't know and we don't care.

i've linked the youtube clip before that shows the size of earth in comparison to the gigantic stars.. billions of times bigger.

not even god would be arsed with all the extra effort just to give us a pretty nighttime sky.

raah!

Not all theists/deists are part of a religion. Maybe if you had those two options you'd get a better look... or maybe not.

Its a religion based poll - not a poll for direct, money raking in cults that hires police, soldiers and detectives as well as having its own full time huge 20 story high investigation unit (in Clearwater, Florida, USA). Staffed also by hundreds if not thousands of lawyers/solicitors worldwide!

That would be agnosticism, but the poll options were edited to be ambiguous.


Atheism - do not believe there is a god, fair enough description.

Agnostic - believe there could be bordering on there is a higher power, but doesn't subscribe to a religion in particular, or believe in traditional bearded jolly loving deities.

If they were edited to avoid confusion, I don't think it has been a success.

For starters, your definition of agnostic is wrong. The person you describe could be an agnostic, but not all agnostics match the description you gave.

The problem is that many people who might identify themselves as agnostic or atheist might not know exactly what the word means or what it can mean. I think the way I edited the poll makes it much easier for people to decide "What is the correct option for me?".

There is always the "Other" option.

Pastafarianism. Also known as the church of the flying spaghetti monster, as previously mentioned.

I believe there is no God.

Boom, baby.

I choose Jedi but I'm pretty sure I'm going to convert to the darkside, much more fun.
