I would say I am against religious people who are closed minded to the point of hating anybody who does not share their believes, but I can not bring myself to say I hate religion because of some stupid people.

I know Megan explained it... but I posted a bunch of stuff about it on the last page when someone asked.. and I'm really proud of it, lol. Embarassed

It is someone who is basically uncertain as to whether God (or gods) exist or not.

Here is the dictionary definition of Agnostic
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/agnostic

Here is the wiki definition of it..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnosticism

And another website to check out..

Yeah, I'm not against religion (in a personal/spiritual sense), I'm against dogma - that makes organized religion my number one enemy.

Since there has been no actual fights about religion for once I'll tell mine.

I'm a Catholic. I was brought up being a Catholic from the time I was born. I was baptized, had my first religion, so on and so forth. Many people throw questions at me saying oh how can you believe at this and that, well I just tell them my facts and then I finish. People always say that the facts are so much against religion that it's unbearable. I don't care what anyone says, I've been brought up in a Catholic family, and I won't change my beliefs just off of facts that people aren't entirely sure about.

Also, I do believe in Evolution. I believe God created everything, and then Evolution just kind of took place.

what i don't get about some people is that they refuse point blank to read hp just because it has witch-craft. i mean it's not like J.K.R. is saying, "Here do magic! God doesn't exist cause in my story people do magic." it is a fake story J.K.R. wrote that came to her on a train ride. and is not implying that magic is real and god doesn't exist. they celabrate christmas and easter for crying out loud. some people in my school don't talk to me because i like hp and because i have a picture (sighned) of dan radcliffe on my binder. it drives me mad they think that because i read hp that i'm in a secret socity that spends their weekends try to do magic!
