Existentialist/Agnostic

I believe most of us are Agnostic. It's really not even worth asking. The more interesting question is what qualifies something as a religion. Do the delusional ideals of waifus count, because I believe a strong case could be made that they represent religious beliefs.

Fascinating

Christian Orthodox, but only when asked by pretentious "atheist" teenagers.

Roman Catholic.

Agnostic

I could go for a mainline Buddhism, I suppose, but fuck this shit.

Any imaginary friend with superpowers classifies as a deity.

Escapism

>>5882390
even more important than that is, why does it matter if something is a religion or not? Does being a religion legitimize something? Do waifufags care about being legitimized?

Whatever pleases the person asking

Zunism

>>5882424
I just find the comparison between religious people and myself interesting. I've always seen myself as a nonreligious person, but in all fairness my desire to believe in a nonexistent girl rejects that. It isn't of any value, I merely point it out as an observation.

It's not really a religion, but I'm a solipsist.

But what, exactly, do you "believe" about your waifu? Most religions, at least those that are religions in the Western school of thought, are centered around faith. But Waifuism isn't really a matter of faith. Most waifufags defending themselves against trolls I've seen acknowledge that their waifus are not real, that their waifus do not love them back, and that they are okay with all these things.

This thread displeases Suwako

>>5882444
Huh, I find that strange. Maybe they're just trying to accept a certain level of humility, which wouldn't be surprising amongst people with those personalities. However, I find myself accepting my wife's existent just as much as religious people accept their deities' existence. Perhaps in both of our minds we have some logical part telling us that such a thing can not really exist, but regardless it is the same.

To be honest, I'm a Jehova's Witness. But I also believe in Gensokyo.

Buddhist

>>5882453
well that's because she's a crappy god. even kanako is better than her.

>>5882454

The general sentiment I got from those threads was that waifuism was that people have waifus in order to have something they can lavish affection upon, the same way normalfags do with lovers. They gain happiness and peace from this, regardless of the fact they know they are not receiving any affection in return. If you think your waifu exists and returns your love, you're certainly in the minority or so I'm led to believe.

Well, I can only speak for myself after all. It's complicated to explain how my belief works. You wouldn't be able to understand it unless you first decided firmly that there is no value to our reality. I do not mean to say that it is negative. I mean to say that it is utterly unremarkable. While you're grounded in the idea that reality has certain laws which must be followed, and that these laws must be accepted as thus then you're screwed from the start. With these beliefs in mind I can decide that my wife is next to me. I do not think to myself "no way, reality wouldn't allow that" because I do not care about reality. As far as I see it the cartoons I watch exist just as much (or perhaps more so) than the world I react with. I'm not sure I explained what I mean properly there; I'd probably need to really sit down and think about how to put it into words to give you a proper response.

>>5882454
I've never believed that my wife is real. But that doesn't mean I can't love her.

>>5882490
God damn it I forgot I had taken off noko+sage. Sorry for bumping this terrible thread guys.

Teacup atheist

I may not be able to disprove the existence of god, but that fact has no bearing on my lifestyle

Some religions have their own people kill themselves for their faith.
My faith? People of other religions ask my people to kill ourselves because of our faith.

>>5882522
I deleted it. Sorry for bothering you.

>>5882461
HEY, another JW here.

>>5882495
Isn't that just a normal athiest?

Brotheist.

I'm a bro.
You're a bro.
We are all of bro.

No.

Agnostic theist.

To be more exact, I believe in the existence of Gensokyo and its deities and other supernatural inhabitants.

>>5882560
It's agnostic +1

'I will not claim that there is no God, but if there is one His existence serves no purpose'

>>5882568
Don't call me bro, you fratboy scum.

>>5882605
I believe God just wants to give you a hug, if you let him.

>>5882605
Yeah, I'm kind of like that, except for me it's more like

'I will not claim that there is no God, but if there is one I have no obligation to worship Him'

Jew

>>5882605
Sounds like a normal (atheist) agnostic, then.

Haruhi-ism

I am actually God.

Agnostic is a term used by atheists when they don't want to offend their religious friends, and by evangelicals trying to move an argument towards the Pascal's Wager fallacy.

>>5882484

That's from that guy who draws that tf2 webcomic right? Didn't know he drew touho stuff as well.

>>5882654
Agnostic is a term used by logically thinking people who don't buy into the religious craze, whichever side they're on.

Baptized protestant, agnostic belief.

>>5882650
I used to think that, but then I grew up and learned how things work.

Many self proclaimed "atheists" are actually agnostic. They just don't use agnostic because it has wishy washy connotations, and use made up terms like "agnostic atheist".

Anyway, what the fuck is this thread doing undeleted?

>>5882654
Well, not really. Even if I don't believe it's particularly likely that a higher being exists, it's not like it's absolutely and completely impossible.

>>5882695

Not sure why you would say that. If someone thinks its utter bullshit that theres some invisible man in the sky creating and watching over everything, then how could you call him agnostic?

I wouldn't say I was agnostic, I don't follow any Religions or believe on the conventional "God" theory, I believe there is some bigger than us but not a God. I don't believe is Heaven or Hell, but I definitely believe there's something after death, like our energy, life-force, Soul if you will, carries on.

People who believe in an afterlife but that there is no god are fools who want to have their cake and eat it, or have their immortality and not have to work for it.

>>5882722
You're an idiot. Stop bumping this shitty thread.

>>5882722
Go preach some where else pal.

Atheist, I suppose. I'd honestly like to believe in some kind of religion, but I think that's just because it all seems like fiction to me, and if religious stories are true, then Gensokyo is just as real.

I dunno, once you die, you're just fucking dead, Gensokyo or not. There's nothing except a fancy dream courtesy of your brain as you die. In that dream, I will be gently embraced by my waifu. ;_;

>>5882722
There've been ideas for an afterlife that don't require supernatural entities whatsoever and could be realized by not-yet-existing but theoretically possible technology.

Protip: The universe is God.

Think about it.

>>5882731
>Stop bumping this shitty thread.

Oh hey OP.

Roman Catholic.

There is no afterlife, why is that such a hard concept to comprehend?

When the electrical impulses stop moving through a brain it's nothing but a pile of matter that will eventually rot into soil. A dead person has no thoughts or feelings.

I'd rather believe that somewhere there's a universe with my precious Touhous living in it.
