Nondenominational Christian

Not really a super religious person, but I'm confident God exists and created everything.

I'm not really sure what to believe right now. I'm an Agnostic for the time being. I've heard Christianity and Atheism/Naturalistic Science both give pretty good arguments for their positions, but they've each been lacking in answers/decent explanations at different things.

For example Atheism hasn't been able to explain why we consider things to have meaning or value other than say that if we want something to have meaning, we must pretend to ourself that it does, on the basis of subjective opinion; same thing with morality too, in Atheism there is no such thing as absolute morality. Of course there's also the other huge problem in that Atheism/Naturalistic Science cannot explain why anything exists at all rather than nothing.

On the other hand, I have never once seen a Christian be able to legitimately "debunk" the theory of Evolution or the various scientific dating procedures that point to the earth/our star/the universe being billions/trillions of years old. Nor have they been able to explain scientific issues moreso related to morality, such as why we are only able to cure debilitating diseases by aborting babies to harvest their stem cells for research, when Christianity says abortion is fundamentally morally wrong.

And on the third hand, there are so many other religions out there besides Christianity whose believers have personally experienced supernatural things supported by their religion firsthand.

There seems to be both naturalistic and supernatural things going on everywhere I see. I just can't decide which one is the best because a good deal of them all seem about equal, each in different ways though.

All i've got going for me is the knowledge that there is such a thing as absolute truth.
I think of this fallacious statement Youtube Skeptic "Thunderf00t" made in one of his videos - where he outright declared "There is absolutely no such thing as absolute truth." But is that statement absolutely true? If it is, then it's a self-refuting statement. On the other hand, if it's not absolutely true, it means that absolute truth does exist, somehow in some way.

I never thought of religion like a store shelf



I see no evidence for a god.
But I can't rule out that a god created the universe.
So I am agnostic.


As for the afterlife, there's no evidence there is or isn't one.
The only way for me to find out is to die.
It would be pleasant if there is an afterlife.
It can seem scary or upsetting to think that there might not be an afterlife, and one day I'll be completely gone. That's not something I can really comprehend. I can't fathom the idea of there being nothing and not even being able to think.

But if there is no afterlife when I die, it doesn't matter, because I won't be able to be upset or scared. And in some ways that's reassuring in life.

I'm an Agnostic for the time being.
agnostic does not mean unsure. it didn't when you made that poll and, unsurprisingly, it still doesn't

I'm only athiest because every christian I met is a bible humping perfect person who secretly hates everyone and insists on bringing Christianity up in irrelevant times

Christian

Perhaps I'm biased because I'm a Christian who believes in heaven/hell, but the thought of there not being an afterlife (which, as I said, I do believe there is one) doesn't scare me. I think of it as falling asleep and never waking back up. Which, might sound bad, but there's no you left to think like that, so it's all good.
