Are you also a fan of the Christopher Hitchens?

I'm agnostic atheist. I can't believe in something without some sort of evidence. At the same time, I'm not really sure what evidence would convince me that there are one or more gods. If I heard voices, I would assume hallucination. If my reality were distorted, I would assume I've gone crazy.

If you ever did get these, part of me would probably want to say "Welcome to my world"

I'm undecided if I'm agnostic or not.
Nah, I'm Agnostic Atheist.

This is on-topic, but only if you understand it

Frank was an agnosticinsomniacdyslexiac. He stayed up all night wondering if there really was a dog.

What if Jesus Christ jumped down from heaven and kicked you in the balls?

I agree with most of his religious views yes, not his political views though...

Belief makes gods, right ?

Well then... I worship myself and believe only in myself, so that I might make myself a god !

A poor name to be honest. That religion of mine is obviously a religion for rampant egoists, and no rampant egoist would accept to have the name of another person on his religion.

Therefore we have two choices:

1-Call it [insert-your-name-here]-ism as you supposed, and plunge into confusion because every practitioner is using a different word for that religion.
2-Call it a standard name. Egotheism seems fine since it is focused on the self.

I therefore call it egotheism, and WILL proclaim it since I invented it. Though I hope this idea that I had way back (do any of you people remember a post of mine about this ?) is original and hasn't been called by someone else already.

Good point and nice idea for a name

Well, some n00b beat me to it in this same thread. Too bad I already posted something about egotheism way back.

I don't seem to find it, I think it's on a religion thread... but i'm pretty sure it was on FULL CAPS FOR EMPHASIS.

I do remember Nar attempting to kickstart a religion with himself as deity. If you did succeed in this, what style of teachings would you preach?

1. There is only one God and that is Nary
2. Do what he tells you or you'll suffer death by ragetoon

You are mistaken, girl, yet again. I have no interest in shepherding other people, nor do I claim to be the only future god on there.

I have no interest in preaching. This is my own religion, and if it goes mainstream it'll lose all originality and I'll get bored of it, and especially the misinterpretations people make of it.

Plus, I am aware most people would not accept it.

I also did laid out the basis of that religion in my previous post.
