I take the Ontological argument's definition of God - "God is that of which nothing greater can be conceived" as my 'belief' in God. An all-powerful celestial being would be so distant, so great, so beyond our simple human existences and the rules we follow that there is simply no point in trying to worship or make contact with it. It is so far beyond us that even the concept of 'existence' comes into question.
And therefore there is no point in trying to show some sort of recognition in something so transcendent, because it really does not care for us.

If by some means the gods and spirits of our religions were to proven to exist - we might call them "God" or whatever, but the way they are described shows that they are fallible, restricted beings when in comparison to a true, all-mighty God. They are frauds in comparison, no matter what power they have over us. They take human or physical form to contact us - that makes them limited, and therefore not the greatest.

And were these celestial beings to come into existence and start laying down their supposed religious laws - they would still be evil, twisted, cruel things. As a human being, I could only oppose them. And the religious groups that stem from such religions have done so many horrible things in the world, and are so out of place in modern society, that I have a huge dislike towards them.

My spiritual beliefs are agnostic, my religious beliefs anti-theistic. Those are mine, of course, I will never try to influence anyone else to my point of view.

If you want to retain credibility in anyone's eyes, feel free to leave out any mention of Glenn Beck.

Just a shame we can't add "demise of organised religion" to the list, really.

The Iranian election has been manipulated through the use of jamming communications, burning ballot boxes, arresting opposition members unconditionally and purposefully putting police and military in place to quell any resistance. Naturally, a country full of young activists aren't going to stand for it. The government's announced results and statistics of "their victory" have gone from unlikely to impossible.

This is democracy in action, help out. The internet is taking a big role in the protests, and that means we can all uphold this ideal that is as important to us as it is to them.

Justice.

Obama FUCK YEAH

I hear there is a greater chance that you would disintegrate whilst shaving than the LHC destroying the world.

Oh lawd, I randomly click on Newgrounds and it happens to be the exact day that Castle Crashers is finally finished.
Sounds absolutely awesome, I only wish I had an Xbox 360!

Good work, NG staff.

Russia were frankly unremarkable, to the extent of boring.

I voted for the Pirates, but I do wish Turkey could have won, with the lead singer who looked anywhere from 20 to 40 years old.

What annoys me the most is they use completely moronic words and assume they are common use, and are constantly making them stupider.

A year ago, I heard some fat bitch say "Oh my god dem donuts look well ming!"
Jesus fucking christ, they can't even use the word "minging" now.
Fair enough, your grammar isn't good, but when the stuff that comes out of your mouth doesn't even relate to any part of the English language, that's plain retarded.

And of course, what annoys me the most is that that the "pakis" and "chinks" (I fucking hate these words with a passion) they do nothing but whine about speak better english than them.

The funny thing about Depeche Mode is that they're only good when somebody else is covering their song.

"White to cream"

lol.

Oh, please. I expect people have said this every single year for the last few decades film has existed.

Film just changes, and goes through fads. You may have grown out of being amazed by film, so yeah you'll say it's not as good as it was.
in 20 years you'll look back on these years and realise it's been just as good as before and after.

I practicallymade videos for everything in high school.

They're definitely the most fun.

Heh, we just did powerpoint presentations when we got those assignments.

Captain Obvious rides again!

Dragonforce are more of a guilty pleasure than an actual band to hate. I know they're crap but I still like them.

Spent an entire day taking photos of trees.

FUCK YEAH TREES

Considering how much they altered book 5, I can't possibly hope for a faithful conversion, but it might be good enough on its own.

OH GEE, WEREN'T THAT OBVIOUS. No.
If you're gonna be so terribly ambigous , don't get angry when people get mislead.

Nowadays, people use gay for it's ACTUAL definition. I know, how shocking.

I guess what I was trying to say was that I don't believe in "God" (male) that features in the big three Theistic Religions. They're too specific and human-like to make any sense.
But I can accept the possibility that God does/did exist, but in a way so seperate from our existence that it is pointless to think about it.

I don't know about classifying religious beliefs, so whether this has a name or not eludes me.

Anyone got Online Play for this game? Let's have a match.

There are only so many shades or grey you can take.

The two gay kids from my school were extremely easy to talk to, and were always polite and interesting.

I suppose they just weren't the GIRLY BITCH type gays you get in other places.
