Atheists, Agnostics, and Sceptics

Any and all non-believers, gather and chat about your lives and your writing here!

I'm back! And I'm currently shaking my fist at my screen cursing my lack of internet skills for a lousy DP that always turns out blurry. xD

A Finnish atheist represent! Gosh I'm all crazy about these forums now, I should be studying but I don't want toooooo...

Anti-theistic Agnostic here... if that's even possible x3

Haha, same about the studying. Shiny new forums are way too distracting~

I'm watching cartoons on YouTube. At school. Life is good.

Agnostic Atheist - accepts the possibility of a deist god, but wouldn't worship it if I'm given a reason to believe. I'm 20, from Canada, and a third generation atheist. Anyone deal with (or pointedly *not* deal with) religion in their stories? I write fantasy, and I must admit, I seem to pick modern-esque settings simply because it makes it easier to have atheist characters. :p

I like to explore the Christian culture a lot, I like the stories of the Bible and its mythology overall, so I tend to include religious characters in my stories in one way or another. But my stories are never about religion itself. Last year I had a Catholic priest as one important side character, and this year I don't have anything like that almost at all. Maybe a bit of some crazily Christian buff going "WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT??" if needed, but nothing else, really :D

I RETURN FROM BEYOND

Upstate NY represented. :D

Atheist from the Netherlands present!

Atheist, Agnostic and Sceptic from England here! I will also be losing far too much studying time due to shiny new forums, which probably isn't good.

Hmm, didn' t know there was a place for us... or you. Whatever.

Um... I don't know what I am. Before this summer, I was a nondenominational, non-practicing Christian. Then my friend invited me to a Christian concert (RTL), and I felt... saved. I had a Bible and everything to read, and everything, but the farther I get into the Bible, the less I feel connected. I don't feel a connection with Christianity. And it's stressing me out, because my friend keeps talking about getting together to talk about the Bible that I haven't read for two months.

(and my insane wild crazy insertadjectivehere muse keeps whispering that Jesus Christ is a Mary-Sue)

Advice? I'm thinking about writing her a letter about it, cause I'm too cowardly to talk to her face-to-face.

I am.... hm. I think monotheism is a load of crap, but I'm somewhat favorably inclined towards a lot of Asian religions despite not actively believing in any of them, which is a stance that's difficult to sum up in one pithy statement. Atheist to the West, agnostic to the East? I don't know.

Regardless, I'm checking in from the rather Christianity-saturated Arizona, so it doesn't matter what I call myself because I don't ever fit in, anyway. Feh.

Ophiucha,

I'm an agnostic-atheist-antitheist-skeptic-whatever. I'm fascinated by the history of human mythology, not the notion of religion itself. Last year I wrote about faith and delusion in modern society, so it had a lot of criticism of religion. I don't think I could ever write anything involving the "supernatural."

Great to see everybody here!

I'm an theist that is greatly interested in all religions and finds herself writing a lot of novels and stories with major Christian/religious influence. While it is not the main focus on my novels, it is a big influence on the characters, their motivations, their lives and how they view the worlds. One of my novels is actually about a young boy with childhood schizophrenia, who thinks he befriends an angel, travelling through the Canadian Badlands in the 1930s with his father's tent revival show.

Hi, people!
I grew up without religion. Not truly atheist, but more like I just never had religion. I'm a skeptic and keep finding little things wrong and possible in the bible... said miracles may not be so miraculous.

I'm a 20 yr old Agnostic. My best friend from Cali is a LeVeyan Satanist & he's Wiccan. So I'm like, "Ack." I listen to Christian music. I go to church. But I feel... lost. Like, what do I believe. Why should i believe it?

The Miracle of the Ace Of Diamonds (Matthew 7:14) still has me stumped.

Not sure what you'd call it, but I don't think God gives a shit about what I, or anyone else, do(es).

I'll admit, turning water into wine is some solid magic. But making folly of the wisdom of the world shouldn't take much practice. I mean, most of it was folly in the first place.

Agnostic Atheist reporting! Oh, and I'm also a pastafarian because what isn't awesome about spaghetti, pirates, and beer?
