just wondering what percentage of the people here are religious.
An atheist myself but I don't really think it's mentioned too much. if you google a concrete statement biblically on the act of suicide you won't find one, people just try to infer that a decent amount. that aside tons of things like not having sex before marriage, raping a woman and then paying her dad money to marry her, how to treat your slaves and so on. People have generally moved on from the bible, even Christians and most of them think they're to be forgiven. I rarely see religious posters so I figure most of them are lurkers.It surprises me there are Christians here; no judgment on my part, but isn't CTB against your religion? Genuinely curious.

Maybe they could jump off a roof and repent while fallingIt surprises me there are Christians here; no judgment on my part, but isn't CTB against your religion? Genuinely curious.
The only unforgivable sin in Christianity is "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit"It surprises me there are Christians here; no judgment on my part, but isn't CTB against your religion? Genuinely curious.
So there is nothing in the Bible against suicide, but they're moving further away from the Bible .. sooo??? If they think suicide is to be forgiven they still think it is a sin.An atheist myself but I don't really think it's mentioned too much. if you google a concrete statement biblically on the act of suicide you won't find one, people just try to infer that a decent amount. that aside tons of things like not having sex before marriage, raping a woman and then paying her dad money to marry her, how to treat your slaves and so on.

Not sure what you mean. I was bringing it up not being mentioned in the bible so regardless of what their opinion is it's irrelevant since there's not an objective statement on it. For moving further away from the bible I meant that in this world they're not even letting the morals in that are commanded or outright laws to matter too much to them. So, from their perspective it either doesn't matter or can be forgiven. Hence why they can be on a suicide forum. Sorry if I wasn't coherent.So there is nothing in the Bible against suicide, but they're moving further away from the Bible .. sooo???

No idea. How is that relevant?And the price of fish in China is.....?
they are similar but atheism is a definitive belief that god or whatever does not exist. agnosticism is not really having any solid beliefs about it.Atheist and agnostic is the same thing, bro.
Wrong, atheism is simply the lack of a belief.they are similar but atheism is a definitive belief that god or whatever does not exist.
they still aren't the same thing. agnosticism is "having an open mind"Wrong, atheism is simply the lack of a belief.
Agnosticism is the belief that we don't know. Which ends up in atheism, hence my first post.they still aren't the same thing. agnosticism is "having an open mind"
atheism is a FIRM belief. agnosticism is the belief that there may or may not be a "god". just google it...Agnosticism is the belief that we don't know. Which ends up in atheism, hence my first post.
Please just read what I said again. I am right about this (and double checked everything just now, since you seemed very confident).atheism is a FIRM belief. agnosticism is the belief that there may or may not be a "god". just google it...
Hard atheism/soft atheism, you mean? I ignore hard atheism altogether since it's ridiculous to claim that unfalsifiable things are false. Either way, there's no real difference imo between all the types of agnosticism/atheism. You don't believe in God(s) due to there being no good evidence, done and done.Eh, people use words in various ways. Atheism can mean both lack of belief in God as well as positive belief in the nonexistence of God, depending on context and who's speaking.

Yeah, I don't disagree on agnosticism, I've never really found it a useful term. But people do use the word atheism in different ways. Merriam-Webster says atheism is:Hard atheism/soft atheism, you mean? I ignore hard atheism altogether since it's ridiculous to claim that unfalsifiable things are false.

]Atheist vs. agnosticWhat’s The Difference Between Atheism And Agnosticism?
Atheism and Agnosticism get mixed up a lot when the question of divine existence comes up. How familiar are you with the difference between them, pray tell?www.dictionary.com
These definitions are a little ridiculous. Atheism is not a belief or a doctrine (if you use a sensible definition, not that one). You can't neither believe nor disbelieve at the same time, either you have a belief (theism) or you don't (atheism/agnosticism). If someone says they're not sure, then they lack a belief per definition.There is a key distinction. An atheist doesn't believe in a god or divine being. The word originates with the Greek atheos, which is built from the roots a- ("without") and theos ("a god"). Atheism is the doctrine or belief that there is no god.
However, an agnostic neither believes nor disbelieves in a god or religious doctrine. Agnostics assert that it's impossible for human beings to know anything about how the universe was created and whether or not divine beings exist.
yes YOUR "opinion". you are arguing with your opinions and not actual definitions. there is where you went WRONG in the first place. and yes i am very confident. do confident women bother you by any chance? just asking..Please just read what I said again.

Agree to disagree, then.yes YOUR "opinion". you are arguing with your opinions and not actual definitions. there is where you went WRONG in the first place.
