Hey. Don't really have much idea how to introduce myself without giving away all of my personal details so I guess I could just outline my basic views.
I am, I guess, Agnostic in the fact that I do not try to discover the reason for my existence or search for the [divine] truth. I live my life by my morals and principles. The events I experience in life influence my morals greatly and I do not force my beliefs on anyone else.
I accept the beliefs and religions of everyone I meet and a lot of the time, my interaction with them results in the growth of my own beliefs. I live for life and just enjoy it while I am here.
I love a good debate. Even if I do not believe the opinion of the side I argue for, I will still argue till blue in the face just to protect my self pride.
So that's the jist of me really.
Hey everyone.

Welcome Saevio! Hope to see you in the forums.
Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.
Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.
There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.
