I want to start an Atheists and Agnostics club?

That sounds like a beautiful idea, I commend you. If I went to your college I would most definately join, because though I am a Buddhist I am also an agnostic.By leading through example you will give a good name to atheism and agnosticism. You should hold conferences to learn about other beliefs, to show that you are open to other ideas...

welcome to the club sister.  I don't think you have a problem at all.  I think that you are a free thinking and open minded person.  It's when you feel that pressure to conform and be like everyone else and resist it, that you truly begin to gain a greater perspective of reality.  I suggest you read "the herd" chapter from Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil".  This is the book in which the phrase was coined "God is dead".  Don't let that scare you.  What I think he really meant to teach was that organized religion and the God they invent is dead.  He challenges you, in the chapter entitled "the herd", to ask yourself if all these things that people are telling you that "God" has said are indeed from "God".  Or, are they something made up by leaders of church to influence the masses opinions to get a desired social result.  That result is control.  Don't let anyone but God control you.  He wouldn't force control on you.  He doesn't want to control you.  He offers suggestions and you choose freely.  To me though, all this damnation and hellfire are not products of Christ at all.  Christ is like the sweetest friend I have ever had.  I don't live right at all.  I have done bad things in my life.  Yet, he has never left me.  People, on the other hand, have behaved terribly...  and for that matter... so have I at times.  I decided that I would not be controlled by "the herd" either.  People will accuse you of rebellion.  Rebellion it may be, but against whom?  God?  I don't think so...  The "herd", definitely.  I had to separate myself from them, and while it is lonesome at times, it is at least free.  Knowing God should never feel like being in a social or political prison in which you are interrogated and punished.  They're like religious nazis and they have confused social control with God.  Welcome to freedom sister.  You may find groups that you "fit" with...  I never did.  This is the tragedy of the genuine individual.  Perhaps you should start your own "group" on yahoo groups.  If you do, let me know, and I will join.  This topic is certainly worthy of discussion.  Don't feel like you are alone.  There are many, many, people who have went through this...

They need one forum for Christians only and one for atheists/agnostics.

I recommend you look around in Yahoo! Groups.  There seems to be at least one group on every conceivable topic.  Chances are you will like several, and have plenty to chat about and plenty of grammas (and aunties?) to chat with.

Alright... welcome tony_copeland to Theos Mart! Here, we have a large selection of religions for you to believe in. Personally, my favorite would have to be the Pagan Religion. Now, with this religious group, you have a lot of choices! You could be a Druid, a Shaman, a Voodoo practicioner, a Witch, a Priestess, a Priest, or any number of other things! You have the freedom to pick and choose your Gods and Goddesses at will, though, they might not always get along. Should you join this religion, there will be a need for intensive study, such as reading books and finding things out on your own. I suggest that you find a spirit guide, should you choose Paganism. A spirit guide -- whether it be a fae, an animal, a dragon, a unicorn, a demon, an angel, a God, a Goddess, Buddha, whatever -- will help you through life and help you make the right choices! But wait, there's more! If you choose Paganism, you get a one-way ticket AWAY from Hell because they don't believe in it! So, what will it be?

Ok... so... is this the REALLY true religion?\n\nor is this the really, really true religion... or maybe this is the really true/truest religion.  Oh well... welcome to your new religion... I'm laying odds you'll recruit many new members.\n\nPersonally, I'd join, too... but you'd have to take the god part out of it.

At this very moment....\n\nI would make the religious fanatics...of all religions....just back off and cut it out.  Stop trying to force your beliefs and politics on the rest of us.  Atheists too.  We all can believe what we want, why all the radicalism...here and abroad?

Like a previous post stated, your place of religious affiliation is a good start.  You can also try volunteering for a cause you believe in - you automatically hook up with like minded individuals, and you already weed out mercenary gold-diggers.

I do not agree.  What I think would be nice would be for each of us to open our mind, be tolerant of the different religions and beliefs and respect each others diversity and learn from others. I practice my freedom of choice by ignorning hateful, blasphemous and disrespectful questions on this forum.

Perhaps you might want to post this in the religion category

A lot of things! Go to college, not waste years being an agnostic, spend more time with my kids, try to understand my parents better, generally just be a better person from the get go! If I only knew then what I know now!

:)\n\nI know I can be such a prick!\n\nI have opened my email contact information. Just hope I don't get spammed with hate mail.\n\n(I tend to make a few theist "enemies")

Well, this forum is not the place to do it.\nI'd personally start by collecting respected members of each community, and allowing them to discuss what they have in common.\nExcept for Buddhism, I'd think you'd get at least a few things, but...\nWell. A respect for the afterlife.\nNo actually, the agnostics probably would object to that....Hm.\nThat list is a toughie.\n\nYeah. 'Specially since Buddhism kinda rejects this world, you're going to have a hard rough to hoe with this list.\nBut anyway, that's how I'd start.\nGet'em together, away from spectators.\n\nAt least, not spectators who are allowed to speak.\n\n-Stephen

Would it not be better to ban YOU from yahoo. Do you think that only atheists should be allowed on yahoo?

I'd give it a go with you.  But I have to admit, I have a debate addiction and I'll still be tweaking holy nipples here on YA.\n\nBluueNikkie, there may be some groups already, but we have an excellent group of characters and ours would automatically be better!
