Proud extremist for Linux (that counts as religion, right :wink: ).


@Khan_Sama: You just defined a fundamentalist. But there's nothing bad with fundamentalism in principle. The quakers are also fundamentalists in so far that they want to return to the fundamentals of Christ's teachings. Fundamentalism is bad from exactly the moment on when you act again your fellow humans.

That is incorrect. I am an atheist, and I do not believe god doesn't exist. I simply do not accept the claims that gods exist.

Also Henrik you can be an agnostic atheist (one that claims no knowledge) that actually believes that gods don't exist (strong atheist)

I would call my self an extremist. I think I subscribe to Christian-Existentialism, but I've not read enough books to know for sure. I know what I believe, but putting it into someone else's words is something else entirely.

Most people would call extremists the people who picket in the streets. I'm the kind of extremist that absolutely believes, but I won't force my beliefs on someone because doing so would violate them.

No one listens to a screaming man, but people will lean forward to hear a whisper.

Belief it or not topic

You can do logical numbers on the concept of belief. I know that beliefs are not facts, but I can believe in facts. Ha. :lol: I can also believe in lies. :roll:

I personally do not care if there is a God. No thanks. Have no interest in religion, except as a curiosity.

My belief system is based on careful consideration of that which I have studied and sorted out through analysis. It is eclectic, and based on various philosophies, scientific theories, workable moderate political systems, personal observations and experiences. It is based an individual choice, and evolves over time. 8)
