Basically, I'm trying to figure out which religion I belong to.
First of all, the choices:
- Atheist - firm belief that there is no God
- Agnostic - belief that since God's existence can't be proved, religion is irrelevant to life
- Irreligious - lack of religion and/or hostility to religion
And here is how I think:
The claim that there must have been a God to create the universe, because nothing can exist without a creator, is highly flawed. If the universe needed a creator (i.e., God) then the creator needed a creator. If this creator didn't have a creator, but just "existed", then that raises the possibility of the universe already existing, in a "tremendously dense and hot state about 13.7 billion years ago". There no longer is a need for a creator.
I am also hostile towards religion. I hate religion. Maybe I am irreligious?
I don't know which one I belong to.
NOTE: I'm not trying to start a stupid religion debate. And if anyone dares to say or even think that I'm narrow-minded then all I have to say to you is this: provide me with one credible piece of evidence that there is a God, something that
hasn't come out of someone else's mouth, and I'll open my mind. I will. Until then, no.
