I was brought up to be a christian and always struggled with faith. I think IF there is a god, he kicked me to the curb a long time ago. It would be nice to believe in something..

I'm agnostic; I use to be Christian but I began to explore other religions and eventually became atheist. My mom is a really strong Christian and she doesn't know that I'm not; I haven't talked to her nor seen her (or my little half brother and sister, who are about 3 / 9 years old respectively) in about 8 years. So I don't believe that there is a god or that there is no god; I'm neutral I suppose.
What is most disturbing is the amount of prejudice one faces when they aren't apart of a certain religion.

I'm also agnostic. I'm currently living and working in a very conservative Christian area, which I often find somewhat difficult.

Started out Christian, then converted it to my own personal Christian beliefs, then came to realize that morality, faith, and all of the good in the world has nothing to do with made-up rituals and stories. A much happier atheist now.

Kaviii most of us will put down agnostic or atheist because we don't have anyone here for us. People always talk about a god watching over you and protecting you, but with the loneliness and depression, etc, faith usually changes into a belief of nothing or a belief of no god because the god was not here for you.

I just think that many people who are agnostic or atheist are actually quite angry at God, because they feel that they have been given a raw deal in life. I do feel that way too--that my life has been WAY more painful than most people's and that it's unfair how much I've suffered.
I do like the Bahai faith, too. I went to a Bahai place in Haifa, Israel and to the Bahai lotus temple in India.
Sorry to say I don't really trust Iranian people (several bad experiences) which is probably why I won't become a Bahai even though I've met a few people who are and they are very nice and cool people.

Hmmm. I definitely don't feel that way. I was never raised to believe in God, and I spent quite a bit of time in college (both in and out of classes) thinking very hard about religion etc. For me, being agnostic has nothing to do with feeling alone or ignored by God. Instead it's a believe I hold based on academic and philosophical logic. My own loneliness is about my inability to connect with other people. With billions of humans around and not a single solid relationship with any of them, I don't need to feel neglected by a deity to feel alone.
I'm curious though, how many people who consider themselves agnostics once belonged to some other religion? It seems like a couple of the other posters agree with you.

That isn't personally why I am agnostic (or before that, atheist). I have a mindset that I cannot believe anything unless it is proven visibly (I can't believe in a god unless s/he comes down and shows me their power, whatever that is and I can visibly see the results).

but this is what faith is about isnt is about isnt it? i mean in faith you have to believe in that particular thing even though god wont show himself to you. some might argue that gods power can be seen everywhere where good things happen like simple acts like helping a lady walk across the street etcetc
what puts me off religion is that most religious fundanmentalist people who think they have a ticket to heaven already are hypocrites eg; bilyl graham, ted haggard and pat robertson

It is what faith is about, but it isn't something I believe in. I find it hard to put faith into anything, let alone belief in another life that I can't see. The only thing that I know I could put faith in to is my love for my girlfriend, and that is it.

I also arrived at atheism similar to the way Elaeagnus did (although I decided agnosticism isn't viable.)
Kaviii, I wanted to respond to your comment even though I wasn't part of the conversation (sorry
- God hasn't abandoned you and he doesn't hate you. There is no god, so nothing is looking out for anyone instead of you; a hard life is just what was brought to you by the past. I found that worrying about, thinking about, or hating a god was really a huge waste of time and effort for me. There's nothing even there, yet many people waste so much on it, argh. It's distracting from REALITY (which is better than religion.)It's very freeing to see life as...you get what you got, could be good, could be crap. Can't change that, and it's not fair. So you do the best you can do with what you have.

Hi Downgrade, but I think that there are so many evidences of a God in this world. For example, look at butterflies. Colorful tropical birds. Flowers. Coral reef fish. There is really NO reason for them to be so beautiful, to make us feel so good, and yet they are and they do. There are so many beautiful and wonderful things in this world.
