I am not an atheist, but there are a lot of things that I disagree with in my religion. In this forum I would like to see if atheism is the right path. I hope to find answers. Thanks a bunch.
Hi FT ... welcome to our little corner of cyberspace.
When you define yourself as "skeptic" what do you mean? I mean because there are those around here who would define themseves as such when they are quite the opposite, buying into various conspiracy theories and so on. Not meaning that to be offensive, just asking
Kyuuketsuki, Thanks a bunch. No offense taken at all.
By Skeptic I mean that I doubt the validity of all religions and their divine nature. This might be a little different from the standard skeptic definition, which is more close to agnostic views. I do not want to become an atheist without studying. (It would make me no better person than I was, blindly following the Koran and now blindly following atheism). I have very limited knowledge, I would love to improve on that and come to some sort of conclusion.
