There are over 23, 000 atheist jedi.  Wowsers.

Damn, there are fewer net Agnostics than I though. Well, "I could be wrong about what I'm thinking" never was the strong suit of internet citizens.

Agnostics and Atheists are kind of hard to tell apart in discussions. That might explain the perception of their numbers, Paelos. Plus, I suspect most of the jedi are in this camp as well for all practical purposes (ever saw somebody counter a religious argument with Jedi teachings?)

I don't like to label my personal spiritual/religious feelings because I have a hard time determining how I actually "feel" about such things, but I suppose if I'm anything it'd be Agnostic as well, Tebonas.

Bollocks.  I can tell by the way you speak that you are of the Jedi persuasion, Ahoy!

My comment should have been, what is the deal with the disproportionally high amount of agnostics and atheists on this board?

They don't have any faith in MMO designers; why should they believe in the ultimate MMO designer?  At best, even if he exists, he doesn't know what he's doing.  PKs, PermaDeath, and class imbalance galore?

Yes, Raph is not God.

I believe that shattered many a belief system.

Shit, I've been found out!  [waves hands]You know not that I am jedi, move along.[/waves hands]

In all seriousness, there was a time when I flirted with atheism, but when it came down to the deeply honest truth, I have the belief, irrational as it may be, that there is something tangible beyond death.  I respect Christianity far more than any other religion(since I don't consider Buddhism an actual religion), but a lot of it just doesn't "connect" with me.  Hence my agnosticism.

So, basically, whatever belief system I posess is half-assed and subject-to-change, sort of like World of Warcraft patch dates.  I'd rather have that, though, than place my faith in something batshit insane like Scientology and it's thinly-veiled pyramid scheme.
