Let's start afresh for 2008, see where the numbers are. The first poll has been closed and unstickied, but not deleted so that we can compare last year's numbers to this year. If your faith is not included in the poll, make a post here defining your faith so it can be tallied with the rest. Beany's thread (http://www.totse.com/community/showthread.php?t=2092333) may also be ultimately counted with the results, as it's all-inclusive and leaves plenty of room to fill-in-the-blanks if your faith has not been covered here.

Atheism for the win!

im sort of between pantheism, taoism and atheism.
but i picked pantheism since its a fair middle-ground between the two.

so as of now roughly 11%(1) of totseans are pantheists!

Why is Atheism on this poll if it is not a religion?

It is a significant portion of My God.

I backspaced "None" and inserted atheism. Shortly after posting the poll, I regretted the backspace, thinking to myself: Someone's gonna call me out on this. ;)

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think you can edit poll choices. Regardless, I think it's pretty safe to assume that if someone without faith was going to vote on a poll regarding what faith they were aligned with, Atheism would probably be their best fit.

Yeah seriously, there are about 4 choices up there that would fit into my strain of metaphysics.

Before I made the new poll, I announced it in the other poll thread and asked everyone for feedback on what they'd like to see up there (thanks for all your suggestions, Van). I let it linger for a couple of weeks before doing this one. Sorry if you missed it, nshanin.

Here's what I'd suggest:

1. If you'd like to vote in the poll, and your beliefs are so mixed that you can't possibly narrow it down to one, then either choose what closely matches your primary belief, OR -

2. Choose "Other", OR -

3. Refer to the suggestion in the first post of this thread, which reads:

To complex/don't want to get flamed

Other it is. :(

Gnosis

Although pantheism could work, I think alone it does not describe my beliefs. Mix in solipsism and the belief in the infinite, and thats something closer.

Other it is.

Agnostic.

Atheism is not a religion it just defines that you don't believe in a higher power...

Well whaddaya know, regs are open.

I'm surprised that there aren't more people choosing agnostic.

I'm surprised that there aren't more people choosing agnostic.

I would have chosen both 'atheist' and 'agnostic', but the poll only allows one option to be chosen, so I went with the former. My reason for this is that I am practically without belief in any God, which is one out of two definitions of atheism, the one that encompasses both definition two of atheism (the position that god, whatever he may be, does not exist), which I hold concerning the Abrahamic gods, and the brand of agnosticism (the suspension of judgment about whether or not God, whatever he may be, does or does not exist, based on the belief that it is not currently known or knowable) I adhere to concerning all other gods I have a clear conception of.

Agnostic here.

Atheism. No change since last time.

Prizism.

Prizism.

Alright, I'll bite.

Agnostic for me

satanism, lucifanianism (probs not spelt right), whats that religion that worships chaos? oh and the one that i would probably have put myself into is bahai but it wasn't there. i'm not really bahai but thats cause i dont know anyone else who is and cant share my view points and worship with them in all they ways i am supposed to but i have read many books on the religion and it is very good.

w00t, I'm the first jew.

Gnostic.

also the Illuminati and the alien sex death cult

You forgot Satanism, bro.

I'm not your bro, bub. Choose "other".

Thats quite clever. "Other" it is, then.

"None what-so-ever dude"

I believe in 33 crore GODS of hinduism with all my heart. My GOD's Can beat the shit of your GOD.

hinduism FTW for bringing the most colourful of all religions.

brutality, peace, love, sex, union, selfishness, etc., all on ONE PLATE

Mine is up there look it up.

Agnosticism for the win?

I hold some beliefs in Buddhist philosophy, though I'm for the most part, undecided.

Yeah, I'm a pagan. My gods can beat up... No wait, in all likelihood, our gods are the same entities, so...

Wow thanks for the info, but really i am a bit pro American and i don't give a shit about Al Qaeda and Talibans, They are not Muslims and are greedy sonofbitches that should be killed and beheaded ASAP.

Bastards == Al Qaeda+ Talibans

Maybe my search for truth without choosing a religion is a somewhat buddhist attitude, but I chose other

Did you ever consider that they just might actually be telling the truth.

Also, FYI America does control Taliban and actually fund them, i should be blaming you for creating the mess in the first place.

Yes, I did, and I went a step further and consider the possibility (about 50%) that they might be lying too, and there's no way to tell which one are they telling tell according to our current scientific knowledge, except through extreme "pain-receptor-stimulation" .... among "others"...hehehe..

Well, as the ancient Chinese saying goes, "there ain't no S&M with just sadist or masochist alone," so if none aspires to be talibans, no matter how much money we pay, there won't be any talibans, at all.....therefore your just as blameable...

Anyway, i don't give a ratass who is helping them, i want them killed or removed ASAP. I don't like getting bombed each day. It's a pain in the ass to travel local nowadays anyway but now i have to keep a lookout for suicide sex deprived perverts and pussy lover bombers.


I am tired going to sleep will finish Zeitgeist II - Addendum tomorrow, BTW its funny how USA is controlled by Federal Reserve Bank.

I'm an Agnostic Atheist. I don't believe in a god, but I am smart enough to realize that in my short stay on earth I will never truly know the answer behind the existence of the universe. The fact of the matter is that you, me and everyone else has no fucking clue on exactly how existence came to be and we will never know.

Pastafarian. :rolleyes:

I'm Pagan. wo0t.

What do people mean when they say they are pagan? Is that like an actual "thing" now?

I mean, the term was used to refer to people "of the country" who did not follow mainstream religion and worshiped nature and had rituals involving drugs use, etc.

Is that what you mean? Or do you mean something you read in some recently printed new-age-self-help-type book?

I think paganism is still the same thing. The worship nature and animals.

No, that makes you a computer nerd.

Surprised only 20 people voted other. I'd be agnostic if I didn't have my own religion.

doesn't the poll results ( high for atheism) simply show that humans are naturally conformists and that quite possibly neither the rejection or embracing of religion is right, wrong or ultimately the answer. And that whilst you might think you have individually substantiated your beliefs, you really are the product of thought control and the sum of an equation.

There's not enough information to come to such a conclusion.

Voted Neo-Pagan. Issue's slightly more complicated than that.

Is there really 8 Neo-pagans on these boards?

Christianity

No Nihilism ftl.

I'm athiest, all you crazy fucking religious people! I am not saying that religion is wrong, I am simply saying all of humanities problems are either directly or indirectly religion's fault...

Where's neo-fascism

Haha not funny, but techinally it was Hitler's vision.

Totseism.

"Other". I'm what you'd call...transcendentalist... or something. "Live and let live" is my remedy for the sick machine that is society.

There's not enough information to come to such a conclusion.

What if i used anthropological information to come to this conclusion?

I.e. Atheism and Christianity. America, Australia, New Zealand, Britain- "Western culture".

Indians are Hindu's, Middle eastern are Islamic; Asian are Buddhist.

You see the pattern?

The pattern indicates that at least a significant proportion of have an association between their Religion and there Culture.

Now i now co-relation does not infer causation; but this hypothesis seems plausible and is a good start at trying to come to a realization.

Gnosis

You called? :P

Everybody who hasn't voted mark Scientology to fuck with the stats, for the lulz, and for Xenu.

Eastern Orthodoxy (Krishchen )))

there should be a "New Age" option.

I would choose it. Its vague enough to lure anyone unsure of what they'd be defined as, but still more defined than "other"

I mean, there's a section in barnes & noble labeled "New Age" .........does it mean anything?

I bought a couple of books in that section, and while some of them are complete crap, a portion are really interesting.
I must say they did improve my life greatly.

I think most of the "New Agers" voted either "other" or "Gnosticism".
