  Arbo. to answer your Question to me. I believe Satan is in contol of the earth...I believe Jesus is my LORD & Saviour.
  I also believe love is a very needed tool to exist. As to the end of the world. ??? NO BODY!!!!! knows the time of the end.
  I lived through the second world war, lost my baby of 3 days in the buzz bombing.
  We all thought the end was then. But" love thy neighbour" was in the
  picture,Today it seems love is void even between neighbours.I have spoken to Germans who say even though we
  were killing each other in each of our countries we were loving each other English loved each other
  Germans loved each other. I think we may be relying on the scripture 2nd Tim 3: which talks about the end of the world
  In my many years I DO believe those traits are MORE in Evidence NOW than I have ever seen.
  Yes !it sure looks like the end when we read that. BUT it will be MY end soon ...I am sure & I hope to live with MY LORD
  & Saviour . IN PARADISE!So It is as if that scripture is for me,because these ARE MY last days.
  I do believe God has allowed Satan to roam on the earth as he promised he could make us all turn on a creator
  Yes he is doing a big gathering work >BUT as for me!!!!! I LOVE JESUS CHRIST!!!!! I also remember Paul who said
  "IN Fact everyonewho wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.""I ve been there,am still there,
  My persecution was losing 3 kids in death, losing One to the WT, losing grandkids, great grandkids to the WT,
  Now losing some to drugs they are involved in( NOT JWS).I still LOVE them ALL ,They are costing me many tears & heartaches
  Cost me lots of money getting them out of jail etc. BUT CHRIST giives me the strenth to carry on till the end.

  Done.

  I'm somewhere between atheist and agnostic but I chose agnostic on your poll. What I really am is a thoroughgoing skeptic these days, and that includes being able to label myself definitely in relation to the existence or non-existence of God or gods.

  I identify with what is currently the fastet growing "religious belief" in this country - i.e. No Religion.

  You didn't list Universalist.

  Mostly I call myself Secular Humanist because I believe in the human spirit, not the holy spirit.

  I am a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church. It is a liberal church with folks of all beliefs.

  Like others here I will accept evidence as the basis for what I believe, but that can change as new facts come to light.

  I do not believe in the supernatural, including god, creator, spirits, etc. as there is no concrete evidence to prove their existence.

  Thanks, you made my day grammy.

  What really annoys me is when people say, "You're not really an atheist. You can't know for sure that there's no god. So you're really agnostic."

  This flimflammery works on an essentially meaningless definition of agnostic, because the word is conveniently used this way only in regard to atheism.

  The fact is, even the sincerest, most devout believer can't evidentially know there's an intelligent creator, much less that it wants to be worshipped, and certainly not that it's any specific deity from their chosen so-called 'holy book'.

  So unless everyone is 'really' an agnostic - making the term contextually meaningless anyway - atheists are not agnostics.

  2+2=5

  The fact that I look at the different response options, and can't decide, probably shows that I am still working things out. I swing from Christian belonging to no denomination/spiritual but not religious, to a sought of agnostic view. But I am still thinking about many things. I guess for now I am happy with being a mentally diseased apostate, or maybe a disciple of Jw.net or Jwfacts.

  I only ever knew the world inside the walls of the WT. Now that those walls are down, I am looking at the world very differently.
