@ schmuck: you really are a smartass, aren't you? anyway, what faith do your parents live by?

naay loophole sa imo argument brother... im not saying man-made ang Ginoo, pero man-made sa imo pa, di katoohan? whats that? imong celpon ug uban pang kabutangan...

it's simple common sense, really. you can touch a cellphone, talk on it, slam it against a wall. you can feel, touch, see it because it's there so you know it exist physically. God, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of that. you may argue that you can FEEL his "presence" eventhough you don't see him physically, but what made you think it is a GOD? oh that's right---it's because your mind says so.

@ chadtukes: What faith were you raised before you became a nonbeliever in a divine being?

born and confirmed Roman Catholic. i don't know if that's got anything to do with my being Atheist-Agnostic though.

@ chadtukes: Even though you were raised as a Roman Catholic, at an early age were you already a non-believer of a Divine Being or something happened that erased RC in your mind?

@ Schmuck: if you don't believe in a Divine Being, what guides your behavior, your way of life? (innocent question ra ni)

the big difference between believers and non-believers is that non-believers do good deeds without fear of punishment from an imaginary master; THEY DO GOOD THINGS BECAUSE IT'S THEIR INSTINCTS TO DO GOOD AND THEY FEEL IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO, while believers only do good because of fear that they might get punished by their "GOD" it they do bad things.

i was raised in a very strict, devout, Catholic household and i became an atheist before i graduated from HS. year before that i was an Altar Boy. nothing really significant happened.

I'll see it coming a mile away.

@ schmuck: you really are a smartass, aren't you? anyway, what faith do your parents live by?

Catholic. Non-fundie like.

Tell me, what religious denomination do you subscribe to? And how does it make you feel to know that so far, the unbelievers(well, me and chad anyway), come from Catholic backgrounds?

[emow]

@ schmuck: Im filled with curiosity. At what point in your life did you decide to shun away from RC? Is it correct to assume that your parents are totally okay with your non-faith?

@ bluedes: I'm just asking questions, not to try to convince anyone to come to any faith.
