Not really. I have a sort of taoist take on the world and I pray sometimes (no idea to what I'm praying!). I think the existence of a higher power is unlikely, but I have no way of knowing, but prayer helps me anyway (like a lot) so it almost doesn't matter either way to me.

This is going to sound like the biggest hippie stoner thing, but sometimes things are real without necessarily being literally real, like they have an emotional or psychological reality to them. That's where I'm at with spirituality. I also really like what Carl Sagan had to say about having a sort of reverential awe of the universe.

Agnostic, there is no other logical position. You can't prove or disprove either, therefore embracing each possibility is the most sensible option.

Agreed. He get on my tits.

Dawkins can be a real cunt, but when you hear some of the shit he has to deal with from creationists it's no wonder he's become as anti-theistic as he is. It's kinda the same way working in retail (not me anymore, thank *insert diety*!) makes you despise the human race just a little bit. Plus, like it or not, he's still the reasonable one in most of the debates he gets into.

Bill Maher is a real cunt about his anti-theism too, but he's a funny cunt, so I'll allow it.

I'm kinda confusing

I'm a Christian (greek orthodox) but I DONT believe in the old testament of the bible and I DO believe God created evolution and the big bang theory.

However I respect all religions and atheists as everyone has a right to choose whatever religion they want

Also Richard Dawkins is an idiot. He gets angry when he doesn't get his own way like a big cry baby

Yeah, about Richard Dawkins.
He's no Christopher Hitchens is he?

I'm an athethist / humanist and even I can't stand the guy.
