Id prefer agnostic actually, I don't like atheist.....not really a big deal however but that would be negative points for me I guees, but I don't vote based on identity so not much points lol

I am friends with atheist and Id date one but that is a negative for me, not that its huge deal, I can understand why some people don't understand the importance of spirituality in philosophy or why someone has a disdain for religion not that I agree with it. I think its a very important aspect of life and many of the lessons taught by the prophets are very important.

I think people who claim they are atheist have a sort of mental block and its a serious mental illness just like a religion is.

I have a good friend who is a quantum physicist. He does not even consider a god. He knows science is true. He likes tangible evidence. I myself am a Rastaman. I love Jah and give thanks to Ras Tafari. My friend does not label himself an athiest or anything at all when it comes to religion. For him religion is a box left blank. We get along very well because we don't care what the other believes as long as we are kind to one another and treat everyone and everything with the same respect we expect from others.
Is my buddy morally fucked because he likes science and not storybooks? Am I a fool because I believe the words in a book written before anyone spoke english? Who cares as long as we are kind to one another and we work together to move our world/communities forward as a whole? We as a whole have bought into stereotypes and prejudice for far too long. We are all humans. We should try to help each other and figure out how to look past obstacles like race, religion, sexual orientation and whatever else singles us out as humans and help each other. Everyone is struggling with SOMETHING. Money, Depression, Abuse, Addiction...
Would you rather have a world full of friends you haven't met yet or a world full of enemies you haven't battled yet? Why does it matter who I pray to or DON'T pray to?
Spend your mental energy on something useful. Spring your babylon trap without me.

It is very important if you don't want to your government to persecute you for your faith.

So these prophets are all knowing wise guys? The lessons we cannot learn ourselves?

Your religious beliefs don't matter at all. As, contrary to what religious people want you to think, morals are not defined by religion (morals define religion). The only time I oppose somebody for their beliefs is when they oppress another belief in any way.

That's a real nice incomplete sentence that you replied with. When is the last time someone was burned for being a witch? Wake the fuck up. Grow the fuck up. This is 2012. If you are still racist and prejudice YOU are the one missing out on life. Stop worrying about everyone else and live your life. Why do you care if I love a different god than you? Do you dispise me because I smoke Kush and you like Haze? Do you eat mexican food or are you gonna be anti-american if you have a taco? Do you call your french fries freedom fries? This is retarded. We have plenty of important shit to worry about without wasting time fighting over beliefs. Here is the answer... BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER AND HAVE RESPECT FOR THE LIFE WE HAVE. How can that fail? Oh yeah, some people are way too important to participate in a collective society and want more, more, more. Grab your MORE. Wal Mart is open. While you're playing with your plastic toys I will be RICH with love and passion for life and the experiences I am allowed each day. You're a ganja grower. I would assume you are more open minded...

I never dabbled in quantum mechanics, mainly stick to number theory, but a God or many gods doesn't really seem logical to me. One could believe that there's something behind the way the universe that, we so happen to inhabit, acts... but... I'd suggest looking into Schrodinger's cat. I don't want to dissuade anyone about their beliefs; however, the probability of some entity controlling an entirely random universe that is completely separate from every other universe in the multiverse (which this deity would have to control as well) is too low for me to believe that there is anything out there. I choose to believe in mathematics.

I don't see what difference it makes because most of the assholes in politics are hipocrites anyway and if there is a hell I will surely see them there. I'm not betting on it though.....
