Religion is evil, the world would be a far better place without it.

I agree with other posters, IT people are generally logical thinkers.

I hate all religions, but I do have my own god. I just don't claim to have been contacted by him, write a book (bible) and attempt to convince others to follow my personal view of my god.

So I guess I am not technically a Atheists or am I.

you would be agnostic, a fence sitter. while agnostics dont beleive in any single religion the dont deny (nor necessarily accept) the existence of a god.

agnostic = fence sitter

unless, of course, you beleive that there IS a god named bob, rather than that there MAY be a god, whose name could be anything.....

481986 2006-09-07 10:01:00 You are right, Cicero, I do know the answer:

"Don't waste your life, there isn't one".

Cryptic I know, but you can work out what it means, a saying I originated 20 years ago when I was working in a factory infested with believers. I put a little spin into the saying to get their pygmy, pinhead brains working, suffice to say most of them couldn't work out what I meant.

Certain. HTH.

how ever i dont agree with their brain washing so reject it.
at the same time i have a large extended family heaps of grand children and could be described as a very christian sort of person.

i only believe in the here after in that what you do in your lifetime has an effect on the next generation.

so the less inteligent will sheepishly follow the heard and believe if they do nothing but pray they will get to their heaven.

how ever it is in my reality it is what you do for your fellows that gets you a spot in the minds of the next generation.

I make violins and cellos as a retirement hobby and with 100 plus instruments built i can imagine some one in 200 years time looking at my name inside a cello and saying what a lovey sounding instrument he made.
