Just out of curiosity, I'd like to see what the majority of the NSers beleive, whether it's a religion or philosophy or pretty much anything else. And of course, to argue about it. Just don't bring up Pastafarianism. Please.

To start, I'm nihilistic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism).

Absurdist/Existenstentialist, depending on my mood.

Catholic.

I'm Lutheran, but that's just because I've been raised a Lutheran. It's like the best out of all the Christian sects.

I like the concept of Buddhism though.

I'm not too familiar with the labels for philosophical schools.

I fall into the Evangelical Calvinist/Reformed school of theology, though.

Ah. I forgot. Please include a link to some information about what you post (wiki r0><0rz). Not everybody will know what everything means.

The closest I match up with any philosophy is "secular humanist."

Buddhist philosophy blended with agnosticism and a sprinkle of apathy

edit: and wiki is down perfect timing...

Born Catholic, saw the light and adopted the teachings of Buddha as a philosophy.

Been fine ever since.

I'm a nihilist, physicalist atheist. My concept of "morality" is of my own formulation, which I term value ethics.

"The reality is in this head. Mine. I'm the projector at the planetarium, all the closed little universe visible in the circle of that stage is coming out of my mouth, eyes, and sometimes other orifices also."

I wish this was my philosophy because it would be fun. My real philosophy changes a bunch but mostly it is "Maybe there is no God but if there is, I want him to like me."

Ten points for knowing who wrote the quote.

Negative fifty points and a rotten pastrami sandwich for anyone who googles it and then claims that they knew the author of it.
