    The thread can't possibly be locked if we aren't discussing beliefs. It's just asking who on here is atheist.

    Present and accounted for.

    There are a good handful of Atheist groups here on MFP.

    I don't believe there is a specific god, but I believe there is something more.... does that make me an athiest?

    no, i think that would make you an Agnostic

    Actually I don't think that's quite Agnostic either. From my understanding, Agnositcs don't necessarily believe in a god, but they don't deny the possibility of one either. They believe there is not enough evidence on either side to know for sure.

    (Former Agnostic here, now Atheist).

    it makes you agnostic ...a belief that something is there but not sure what.

    Nope. Not quite. See my previous post about atheism, agnosticism, and ignosticism. Agnosticism deals with "knowledge" not "belief". A belief that something is there but not sure what is still a belief. Atheism is the lack of belief and agnosticism is the position that we don't (weak agnostic) or can't (strong agnostic) know whether gods exist. :wink:

    It's not about beliefs. It's about divisive topics. Here's one of the mod's explanations for the lock earlier:

    Dear Posters,

    I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread.

    The forum guidelines include this item:

    15. Divisive Topics Are Better Suited For Groups, Not the Main Forums

    Divisive topics, particularly those that seek input from or are relevant only to a select group of users, are better placed within an appropriate Group rather than the Main Forums. For example, topics relevant to only one religion should not be placed on the main forums but rather within a group related to that religion. We reserve the right to move any topic to a relevant public Group which interested members may join if they wish to continue to participate.

    If you would like to review the forum guidelines, please visit the following link:

    At our discretion, this locked thread may be deleted entirely in the near future.

    Why would religious preference make a difference here?

    It's so they can cause a handful of useless arguments. People seem to have forgot that this a health website:sad:

    I have the Satanic Bible, The Bible, The Tao of Pooh, and a book about Buddha on my book shelf, I think those put me somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

    For good measure I also have a Hindu Gods Stained Glass Colouring Book.

    I believe in a higher power, but I think mankind's implementations of organized religion can be flawed and lead to tragic cultural misunderstandings. The exclusivity of most organized religions just does not work for me.

    There is a group for atheists. You can introduce yourself there and find like minded friends for support there. This thread will be locked soon.

    It is funny how you mention this thread will be locked soon, yet you didn't say the same thing at the Christians thread.... *le sigh*

    I kinda like what steve jobs said in his book and i think he hit the nail on the head on what i would truely like to believe and i would like to strive for. I dunno if this is the exact quote but he asked a priest if god knows every thing and the priest said yes. He said how come god hasnt helped the homeless find homes and the hungry find food. The priest said god has a plan for them too. the quote was "people tend to focus more on the word of god than emulating living their life like jesus" i kinda like the way he said that. To me its very true.

    Just had to throw in my .02

    The only reason I said it here was because of how quickly the other one got locked today. I don't think I said anything rude here at all.

    I keep an open mind about God but all of God's self appointed spokesmen are full of beans.

    Oh I wasn't trying to say you were rude. I was just making reference about how threads about Christians no one ever says anything about it will be locked, but as soon as someone says atheist, someone always posts about saying bye bye to the thread. This time it was you, but trust me, it was just an observation.

    Most of the Christian ones I see do get told it will be locked. Then, of course, there's the fun bashing/ridiculing of Christianity before it does. My point is that in both cases, the person looking for like minded friends can respectfully be directed toward the groups without others insulting their beliefs/non-beliefs. I wouldn't like it if a Christian commented in here saying something ugly about atheism anymore than I like seeing Christianity ridiculed.

    why dont you say the same in the threads looking for other christians?
    I'm not sure that's what they meant...

    Ive just noticed that everytime there is an athies thread someone always comes in with BLAH BLAH BLAH this is a fitness site BLAH BLAH BLAH,but I never see that happen on a christian thread. That what i thought they were doing
    LOL gotcha
