  • "Allah is not obliged to be fair in all the things he does here on earth."

    It's an African proverb that basically means 'Life's a bitch, trying to justify it's ups-and-downs as god's will is pointless.'

    I'm agnostic and the ZA would likely push me into full blown atheism. Even if god does exist, I'm not going to bend over backwards to please some asswipe who sends an army of flesh eating monsters to terrorize those he claims to love.

  • I'm Agnostic myself. I think that if there is a higher power or something similar out there, then we can't really know. As for what that would make me think in a ZA, I wouldn't be blaming higher powers or anything, I'd just treat it like a disaster and do my best to survive.

  • HAHAHAHA! all right! :D

    I also don't believe in these types of matters on "YOU WILL BE SENTENCED FOR ALL ETERNITY"

    What kind of justice would condemn someone for that. what kind of sin would be as severe for the guilty to be convicted FOREVER?

  • And then...?

    An end to consciousness.

  • I will tell you what's then, You decay and then turn into a stardust again. The whole idea of a spirit can not really be proven even philosophically. We certainly don't quite understand how our brains work yet, And that's the whole point of science. If you have something to improve our knowledge, Do experiments, Prove it, Change the world. But we don't accept blind faith.

  • I couldn't agree more, blind faith doesn't help us evolve as a species. Sometimes i wonder where we would be without religion...

    If the bible never existed, or any religious scriptures for that matter...It might've turned out for the worst though. Back then, civilisation needed a guide for what's wrong, murder, rape, theft, was perfectly normal for some.

    Now in the modern civilisation, people are smart enough to understand right from wrong. In a way, we NEEDED religion, or a certain guideline at some point in history, probably. Thing is, it got twisted along the way and used to fulfill their personal agendas, lies and corruption took control, greed took over what used to be an example for all.

    We used it as a tool for control, keeping people in the dark about the true nature of things, burning "witches" for their knowledge and laughing at those who knew better than them.

    The whole system is corrupted. Only knowledge and technology can make us advance in our modern world, religion is, in a way, obsolete. Although it is still an admirable goal, not everyone needs it.

    You're so damn right! xD

    However, People still need religion. Humans aren't that smart enough as a species to figure out their own rules unfortunately. There were a few spots in modern history that could be used to do so, But they weren't used unfortunately.

  • Agree. blind faith is the worst of all. it generates fanatics.

    There is so much we don't understand and probably will never understand, a lot that can not be proved either. but these things do not cease to exist because of it.

    for example:

    If you could magically enter into the kingdom of the ants and say to them that much above them, there where the whole world is blue (sky). there are "gigantic birds" all made of iron, as large as 1000 nests, which can fly at unimaginable speed!! The ants would laugh at you so hard, and soon the entire nest would be talking about some nut who thinks "giant iron birds" exists..

    The ants would never believe that story. because it is completely out of knowledge of them. it's another dimension of reality. and yet, we all know that there are airplanes. ;D

  • I don't believe in God. (Though I still find myself using terms like "Oh my god", "God dammit", etc.) When a ZA happens though, what will change my mind? Nothing, not even a little. It'll most likely be the work of humans that cause the Outbreak in the first place.

  • It's not a similar condition. With all due respect, All people that called for religion, Jesus, ... Etc. Didn't actually give knowledge, They give a code to live by, To never oppose. THAT's why religion is wrong. I hope i didn't offend you.

  • I don't believe in God or heaven but I think death is just a passage to another place.
    I think that because, many times, people who were coma said that they saw their dead relatives or/and they saw and heard what happened in their room but in a third person view. So I think coma is when you are stuck between those two worlds.
    And I also think those two worlds are somewhat connected to eachover. That would explain some "surnatural events" and the coma thing.
    I don't think there is a selection (heaven/hell/purgatory), if you die, you go there that's all. It might take you on another planet in the universe like some sort of wormhole or even a parralel universe.
    Anyway, that was my theorie about the after life :)

    No offense taken. every opinion have to be respected. But let me ask you something: What is there after death?

  • I agree, not every humans can figure out their own rules, some of us can, i think it just comes down to each individual's own personality. The fact that atheists and agnostics even exist is a sign that we might be going in the right direction.

    Thing is, each person is different and, in a way, unpredictable. What defines us is how we think and how we act. If you think you need religion to live your life happily, then do it if you want, there's nothing that i say that would change your mind, same thing for my case, nothing a religious person says to me would turn me into a follower of whatever it is they want me to join.

    That's fine, that's just how it is, the most important part is to not tear each other apart over such a petty conflict of ideology.

    Religion is part of our history whether you want it or not. The only thing you can do is choose to believe in those ancient scriptures or not. That's all it comes down to. Just don't go too far with your own beliefs, the last thing we need is a pointless war between cultures over religious beliefs.

    Sadly, it does happen, lot of people died in the past because of it. Yet, you'll never see an atheist or agnostic kill people over religion or anything for that matter, that's a fact.

    In the end, it's fine to believe or not, just know your own limits, going too far in both cases brings us back to the bloody stone age.

  • As a few others have already said, I believe in agnosticism. I'd kinda just go with the flow and book it when danger arrives. I do think there'd be too much going on to worry about religion at the moment, though.

  • In fact, there's no such thing as a "religious word"...a word is a word...nothing else...unless you believe in witchcraft or something...In which case the word might carry a certain power or magic xD

  • Don't worry :P

    In fact I am an atheist who never believed in God just science. I want prooths before starting to believe something. And to be fair, there are a lot of inconsistencies in every religions. All the plagues of Egypt can easily be explained naturally for example.

    I don't know if you misunderstood but I agree more with your opinion than others, I just have my own theorie about death ( and if you think about it, it's not non-scientific :P )

    Or maybe it's just your subconsciousness...... Science.... It works, Bitches. This is only a joke used by scientists, Not meaning to offend you.

  • It's not wrong, it's the people who live by their code that twisted it. If Jesus did exist, my guess is that he had a noble goal in mind...then he died and people used his teaching for their own gain...such is the way of our species sadly...although i do believe that there is still good in humanity, i believe we can make difference in the long run.

    I believe in my own self and that's enough for me. :P

  • Yeah, I noticed. xD I'm open to all non-scientific theories. After all, It all started with them. What really piss me off about popular scientists is that sometimes, They act like religious people when you speak to them about something we barley understand like Bermuda Triangle. I'm not supporting any crazy motherfucking theories they come up with about that place, But something is odd about it and it needs to be studied. Don't ya think?

    Yes, I believe in God and would continue to do so during the ZA. The belief of the Christian religion (and Catholic denomination) is that God is omniscient -- he knows everything, so logically it would have to be a pre-destined event for the world. It would probably be our Judgement Day (which funny enough states that spirits of the dead, but probably not zombie-wise, will rise and fire is somehow involved).

    As for how it would affect me, I think it would just affect some of my moral decisions. I would have trouble shooting (murdering) or leaving deadweight behind. But at the same time, I believe that I would have to convince myself to do so if it were in cases of self-defense. I would not become a bandit or just shoot people for the sake of just doing so. I don't think my faith would disappear but I would just become really angry and have lots of questions for Him.

  • Putting a guideline is wrong according to my morality. It's natural because I'm a Chaotic-Neutral. But it can be useful to others.

    It's not wrong, it's the people who live by their code that twisted it. If Jesus did exist, my guess is that he had a noble goal in mind...t

  • And for the people who were in comas and claimed to see everything in third person view, they often proove it by telling "this day you came and said to me that and blablabla" and they are always right.

  • It's thought that the subconsciousness is capable of doing such things as it's the key element of dreams. But you can't really say for sure, We don't have the enough scientific technology to prove it.

  • In my opinion what they saw was just their mind using their own memories and knowledge and projecting it into their sub consciousness. As for those who died and came back, most say that they saw a "long tunnel" with lights at the end of it. The brain slowly dying would explain the "tunnel" that they saw, as the "light" slowly withered away and the oxygen started to fade away.

    Lack of oxygen would make you hallucinate and what they saw was simply a projection of their own mind and beliefs. Even an atheist might see "Heaven" or "Hell".

    It's akin to a lucid dream. There's no way to know if what they saw was genuinely true or not. It's like trying to believe someone on drugs, which the patient might even be on for all we know.

  • I strongly agree :)

    Everything needs to be studied before blindly believing it.

    And about my theory, it's just a therory x). I am just studying multiple possibilties. The "your consciousness fade" is very pausible as well but I don't say one or another is right because we have no prooths of it. Just theorizing.

    And I also agree that some scientifics are very VERY annoying the hell out of me, like they figured out everything and their opinion is the only one plausible.

    Yeah, I noticed. xD I'm open to all non-scientific theories. After all, It all started with them. What really piss me off about popular scie

  • Now that you say it, it strongly looks like sleep paralysis could be the same process ( if you don't know what it is, you should do some reasearch. It is a very interesting subject).

  • Relax man. we're just having a good conversation here! :D

    That's why I'm not fan of any religion in particular. I read about it, I agree with some things but not everything. and use this knowledge to establish my own culture about it. Spiritism was the one that seemed far more real and it had a well-defined moral foundation. and so is a spiritual reference for me.

  • Yeah, the "long tunnel wich leads somewhere" thing never convinced me, I prefer your explanation.

    And, I am just theorizing like I said above, I don't particulary believe my opinion is right. That is why I call it a theorie :)

    Last thing, your explanation about the sub consciousness is really good and you could link it with the sleep paralysis it is very similar and we have prooths of it.

  • That is totally right.

    I don't mind religious people, they are doing whatever they want with their lives as long as they don't harm someone but some scientifics just want everyone to admit they are right and sometimes without even solid prooths. And they fight eachover ( religious people AND other scientist ), very professional...

    YES! And then they start fighting religious people. And make debates that aren't really debates, But street fights. And then we're supposed to watch them fight.
