In any case, those two don't possibly go together. According to the Christian faith (which is where blasphemy has its origins), denouncing God is an act of blasphemy. Nice try, though. |
What I meant by that was that I respect any religion, I even went to christian camps last year. |

I myself have very secular beliefs, as the internet has showed me how little I care for any form of religion, be it atheism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, or any of the other major religions. All I really see it doing for me is starting a bunch of arguments and I don't like arguing, I like debating. "Lol you believe in God!" and "Well then explain such-and-such a situation!" arguments don't do much for me.
I also believe that 90% of the internet is mentally challenged from some of the posts I read on this website (not hinting to you OP, this is an honest topic. ) |
Fixed

I became a vegan last year after seeing a cow get struck on the road, then learning about it getting slaughtered on the news. I'm also an atheist.
Any other vegetarians or vegans out there? |

1. Even if the cow got drugs then killed, it would have no different outcome than the previous incident.
2. It won't |
Are you some kind of psychic or something?

I dare you to try to have no beliefs; the logical paradox will make your head explode. |
Off topic- Rckr... what movie is that pic in your sig from?
on topic- I believe in God/jesus/etc. I also believe that we humans as a race are destined to destroy ourselves eventually. I also believe that Guitar Hero is something created by Heavenly forces as the greatest gift to mankind since sliced bread.(sorry I had to...  )

| Apathetic agnosticism (look it up!!) for the win, even though I was raised in the Catholic church. It's always fun to talk about the origins of the universe with my friends of varying beliefs but I prefer not to start the conversation myself. I've learned that dinner conversation should be kept to the weather and the local sports teams. Politics and religion create unnecessary arguments. |

This man tried to convert me to apathetic agnosticism, the bastard. He's just as bad as those church people who come to my house occasionally on Sundays to talk to us about God in which my mom feels too polite to ask them to leave.

I've always held the opinion that atheists are actually more religious than agnostics, exactly along this line of reasoning. The conviction to completely disbelieve in the possibility of any religion (existing or to come), any higher power, etc. is, in my mind, just as much a leap of faith as being religious.
However, I think you're grievously over-simplifying Nihilism. That's hardly what a Nihilist believes. Besides, Nihilism isn't any sort of organized belief; I've always viewed it as a philosophical stance, and as such the details can vary from person to person.

I actually have a rotating signature so it could be one of five pictures. Still, none of them are from movies. |

This. I've always been a nihilist myself, my own style saying that "If you try to define a truth or universal meaning to life, you'll always be wrong". That being said, my other belief is that if god exists, he would be apathetic to the needs of humans, so it's pointless to try and prove he does/n't exist, because if they prove he does exist, everyone will pester him and he'll bend the universe to make it so that everyone forgets about it, and if we prove he doesn't exist, the fundies will disreguard it and everyone will ignore it so that they can live in their happy shelter of naivete.

Agreed. I don't find it important to my everyday life and there's no evidence one way or the other. It all relies on faith. I think not being raised to believe anything has something to do with it too. I was never forced to go to church, read holy texts, etcetera. This is not to say I was raised atheist, it is to say I was never told what to believe one way or the other.
As for the other question, I'm not a vegetarian or vegan. I think I know all of one offline, and every third girl on certain sites says she's vegetarian/vegan. I often wonder if they are. |

I have no doubts that there is a higher power. Otherwise, how could anything exist (if that makes any sense). Also, I think that the majority (or at least many) of the organized religions are just different ways of viewing the same thing.
I am NOT a vegetarian/vegan, and will never be. I gotta have my meat.

I'm somewhere between deism and agnosticism. I used to be a fundie Christian but a combination of gaining some knowledge of science and making some observations of religious people and reasons for conversion, the void they filled with YHWH, etc. led me to see the light (or since I'm now an evil satanic nonbeliever would I be more correct saying I saw the darkness?). I don't really feel like going into more detail right now; I want to get at least some sleep tonight.
As for the other question, I'm basically a fucking carnivore. My diet consists largely of caffeine, meat, and junk food.
