Broadly speaking, what are your religious or spiritual beliefs?

Asked by Nially_Bob (3844points) August 12th, 2012

Following on from my previous question regarding political beliefs I bring you the second inquiry of my very short inquisition: broadly speaking, what are your religious or spiritual beliefs?

As with last time I’ll start off with my own perspective. I am an agnostic atheist, that is to say I do not believe in a deity or deities, but am open to the notion of such existing. I also teeter slightly into the area of pragmatic agnosticism in that while I would shift my perspective accordingly, should a God or Gods be proven to exist, I have heavy doubts as to the plausibility of this being deduced via the scientific method due to the extensive potential subjectivity involved.

I am not especially spiritual in any regard, though I do like to believe ghosts exist. I don’t sincerely think they do but it makes horror films a lot more entertaining so on some level I almost force myself to believe it. Seems a little deranged now that I read it written down, but eh, cést la vie.

I would appreciate if any debate and discussion were kept respectful; be honest but courteous please.
