It may have escaped your notice, but my religious beliefs, as I assume most peoples are, personal, and this is the way I prefer to keep it, as I am not accountable to anyone else on Newgrounds, or anywhere else, for that matter.

I believe in God.
I don't argue about religion on the BBS.
I'm not about to force someone to believe what I believe.

Shouldn't there be an equally as angry and overweight man on a religious side claiming there is something inside the box? Moreover, are you agnostic to everything? Do you believe that one should not argue against the existence of father christmas because there's no evidence to suggest he doesn't exist? If not, why does something such as the existence of God with just as little supporting evidence demand more respect from you?

I consider myself atheist. It's unfortunate that there seems to be an attitude towards atheists online that seems to be that atheists don't believe because they're trying to be edgy and unique. This is a foreign concept to me, because where i'm from it's normal to not believe in something with zero evidence to support, and you are the minority if you do. Not to say we are anti-theist, we're mostly indifferent to religious people - it's just recognised as illogical and strange if somebody tells us we're going to hell for not holding beliefs in an ancient system - something that would probably be considered normal in a religious dominated place (e.g. USA).

Like some people have already stated, I'm an agnostic, you could even argue agnostic theist. However at the same time the idea of some magical floating man in the sky with a magnificent beard casting magic is incredibly unbelievable to me.
