Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

Newcomers to the forum should register an account using their nation name, and start a new thread in the Welcome Centre. Make sure you stop by Rucket Park for all your spam and games!

Theism:
1. the belief in one God as the creator and ruler of the universe, without rejection of revelation (distinguished from deism).
2. belief in the existence of a god or gods (opposed to atheism).


Deism:
1. belief in the existence of a God on the evidence of reason and nature only, with rejection of supernatural revelation (distinguished from theism).
2. belief in a God who created the world but has since remained indifferent to it.

Atheism:
1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God.
2. disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.

Agnostic:
1. a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience.
2. a person who denies or doubts the possibility of ultimate knowledge in some area of study.
"Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." ~ Robert A. Heinlein

Would the term be Deist then? If not, it is now.

I am a athesist, whose framework against religion is centred within the remaining Christian elements of the society I live in.

IE: I'm sure i don't believe in 'God' in the Christian sense I learnt mainly of in my upbringing; nor am I a believer in God in the sense of religions I know less about.

"worship of one's own smug sense of superiority."
To be honest I think all people who hold beliefs that are the result of the best of their reasoning and knowledge are smug around people who care to differ.

I agree that some christians can take it too far, but there are moderate ones.

Before we ask for proof, we need to ask the other person to define he/she/it (god). You can't prove an empty cognitive thought.....

That was a very lighthearted and basic point for my own humour. If we were to look at the wider factors and influences on the subject and considering different aspects and interpretations then I wouldn't be posting in this topic :P

Its not that I can't, is just that I can't be bothered! And I'd rather be doing RL work and getting it out the way than arguing my personal beliefs to strangers on a NationStates forum because the latter takes FOREVER and goes in lots of little circles :hilarious:

That isn't a valid counter point, it is just a side step. So to make thing clear what you said was a statement, and not an argument counterpoint (even what you said to Neo).

Viper what do think is gonna happen to you when you die.

Well, if you mean when I am dead, I will start decomposing until I am going to be incinerated as by my request. After which, 1/4 of my ashes will be spread across the Gulf of Mexico (around Key West), 1/4 of my ashes will go into outer space, and 1/2 will be in an urn above my kin's fire place.

I want to be incinerated, then spread near the White House, Congress, and in Japan. I hope I got to heaven, or something.. I don't know, all I know is that I believe Jesus died for my sins, and that Jesus wouldn't do what Republicans are claiming he would.

so you don't want to believe that after your life ends that in someway or another you keep living, I doubt you don't want to keep living after death
