this isnt supposed to cause conflict but im sure it will .. lol.. i just wanna know what the popular vote is.

simple question: do u think there is a god? a creator? or any form of higher being? or anythign like that?

simple as that.

(please dont just look.. vote)

(and yes.. i voted)
skeksis
oh cmon ppl! vote!

your poll is rather narrow fielded. As is, the only option is "yes I believe in god" or "no I don't believe in god"
What is your definition of god as applied to this poll?
What if my concept of 'god' doesn't fit into your parameters?

I'm guessing the Christian God, or maybe he means any God? O_o... Not sure but it seems as if he's talking about the christian God. If so, I'm a beleiver!

I thought about making this topic like 2 days ago. I wanted to see if there's more Atheist than christians.

Edit: Heh, I made it even. 2 to 2 now.
JMPD1
Nice generalized slam on non believers in your sig zero.
I suppose if I said all believers were narrow minded, you'd be jumping up and down..........

Thanks for putting words into my mouth. I'm showing how something when they down us for having faith they're wrong because I'm sure they have some sort of faith in someone/something. Don't try to put words in my mouth, I don't appreciate it.

dude read my original post.. it says: 'simple question: do u think there is a god? a creator? or any form of higher being? or anythign like that?' that broadens the whole thing.. if u dont fit quite into it then vote no and say why, or vote yes and say why.. why make it so complex? cant u use ur head and think of how to fit into this little poll? if u cant why even post and make it difficult? (no disrespect intended)
JMPD1
So you are saying that ALL atheists 'down you' for having faith?
Is that putting words in your mouth?

If I had, in my sig, something like "what bugs me about christians is they are all so smug", I would expect someone to call me on it, no?

edited: nevermind tongue.gif i would delete what i just wrote but i dunno how.. how do u delete a post.. i wanna delete the 1 im writing now.. like.. this is just an edit.

I didn't say they all did now did I? I didn't say some either but maybe I should have because of course someone is going to complain. You still made a wrong assumption.


You know, you could have been more polite and PMed me about this issue instead of making yet another off-topic topic.


It's going to be taken down since it's making people cranky, now stop complaining.
JMPD1
wasn't complaining, I was pointing out the inherent prejudice against 'un-believers' that is rampant in the world.

Also, I have a one man crusade against blanket statements wink2.gif

Am I the only one who pointed it out? If so, please, reinstall it. I may be overly cranky this morning...
ShaunZero
So far you are the only one to point anything out about it. I'm not prejiduce against Atheist, I just think they're being rude when they say bad things about us just because we have faith when they have some sort of faith also.

Now, I think we need to get back on topic. If you want to continue this conversation PM me.

JMPD1 you are a hypocrite loud and clear. You slam Zero for having a sig that "talks down all non believers" yet you've yet to say a word about all the non believers sigs that clearly slam Christianity- i smell a double standard. wacko.gif

I am a believer in the Lord Mithra and his father Ahura Mazda.

As a Deist, I had to check "Believer", but because of the non-specific wording of the Poll question, it will seem to imply that the majority religon (Christianity) outnumbers those that do not accept its' tenets. This will be patently false, the Poll should be either locked and a newer more specific poll put it its' place or just start a new more specific poll. yes.gif
