A philosopher, you say? What's your philosophy, if you don't mind my asking? I always love (and I don't mean this to be condescending at all) to hear how some people can have these neat and tidy worldviews and guidelines to live by. I just try to get through this life without killing anyone and consider myself golden. My opinions change too often to plan farther than that.

LOLS @adam....Im a born again Christian. I think if you believe in something I gives you some help in the hard times of life. Even if that is believing in nothing for some.

I'm an atheist.
I'm actually pretty impressed that this thread (which regards some VERY touchy areas) has remained so civil. Yay!

"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."

I am surprised how many people here have been born more than once. I know Freud had these ideas that some people want to crawl back into the uterus, but I didn't think it actually happened.

@ The Fox
I agree. I was going to stay away from this thread entirely until Corbie's awesome post compelled me to applaud his wonderful belief system.

@Adam
Sure, I believe in the existence of this ultimate truth and that this truth exist within everything, you know, including ourselves, it's an invisible connection, like when you're worrying about something and you open a magazine and curiously it talks about what you're thinking, because everything is just one and the same thing. For me that means that you can learn even the most important lessons from everything, that includes videogames.

i believe in a benevolent higher power. i believe that people have tried to define it and what it may or may not want from us as lesser beings, but in the end, they are only people... and as people are so very prone to putting words in one another's mouths and twisting things to their own ends, i do not subscribe to any organized religion. i'd rather take my chances with what's in my own heart and mind than what someone else is trying to persuade me to believe.
i believe in reincarnation, and I have since I was little.
i do not believe hell exists outside of our own minds or our own makings.
i believe that arguments over religion are pointless, so i'm glad this thread has been pretty civil so far.

Absurdist/Atheist. Richard Dawkins style! Be afraid, be very afraid... Haha

Although to be honest, as long as no one starts a discussion I'm gonna remain Switzerland as far as people personal beliefs are concerned. We're here to talk games, that's it. However, if pushed... Well, let's just say I'm not big on that whole thing about being respectful of religions.

Alright I'm kinda going to stray off topic a little bit, but what is your view of how we got here? Creation/Evolution?
I believe in Creation, and there is a creator.
Hopefully this doesn't turn people away now...

@Kizzi.....I believe in Creation but I also believe that once we were created there has been a process of natural selection. Survival of the Fittest. I believe that creatures do change such as the humans pinky toe barely used, .... coal plant blacked out the woods with burn coal causing the woods to have a black coating on them and the white moths actually adapted and their color changed to black to survive, etc. Life has its unique way of adapting, growing. Everything does....... Even the gaming industry. I mean seriously in just twenty years look how far its come. Its astounding. Thats human adaptation to changing enviroments. In short I just think life is simply amazing. I do believe there is a higher power (God) that rules but I'm not completey blanking out that people and creatures changes because simply science shows that it does. (for the recored I really dont think we evolved from apes, thats just absurd)

@slapshot: ya I too believe in micro-evolution. Animals may change within their own species to adapt to their environment. And the ones that couldn't make certain changes ended up becoming extinct. I don't believe in Macro-evolution. Animals don't evolve from one species into another.

I also believe in Creation and micro-evolution. I do not believe in macro-evolution.

I'm not gonna answer this right now cause first I really wanna make sure that you're absolutely clear on what you're doing here... This is a slippery slope here and once sliding starts there's no turning back I'm afraid. This civil and friendly environment we have here will be irreversibly gone. If you really want to I can directly comment this but like I said before, I have no respect for religion. In fact, if the subject is brought up I have no qualms about mocking not only the religions themselves but also the practitioners aswell... Which I why I like to avoid the subject altogether, it's just not worth it. So how about we keep religious discussion to a bare minimum, ok?

Ok, remember I'm a philosopher, I belive that a kind of supreme essence which I called Soul of the Universe ("God" if you like) generated life in the universe (yes, I believe we're not alone), and then left it to roam free and became whatever it wanted or needed depending on the circumstances, it found a perfect place to spread on Earth and from there on I totally believe in Darwin's evolution theory.

I'd share my views on religion but I've already met my quota for offending people this month.

I believe that those who mock others based on their beliefs are not very settled into their own. You should believe what you want to believe, regardless of what others think. It's your world, everybody else just lives there.

Oh and if this thing starts spiraling out of control, I will stop it without hesitation and bring the hammer down if necessary. So be nice.

Djungelsomething, everyone is being civil right now. It's like you're threatening to argue. Why? If you're worried about the topic turning sour, don't read this thread. You don't have to keep warning people about how disrespectful you are capable of being and asking others to keep their discussion to a bare minimum. That's just a bit bizarre.
