Jewish Agnostic IOW, I was raised Jewish but I believe that there isn’t enough evidence to conform or debunk the existance of god, and thus I do not “believe” that he does or doesn’t exist. I do still adhere to many Jewish traditional and cultural customs, though. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > **Ellis Dee** , I think it’s related to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=257926). When I clicked on your link, I was greeted by this message: > [@](#): > > “ **Sternvogel** , of the **Cafe Society** board ye may read freely, and of the **General Questions** board, and of all of the other **SDMB** boards and features, save for this one, to which access is forbidden to all save those deemed worthy by **Cecil** , whose Word is Law.” Okay, not that exact phrasing, but in that spirit. Could you summarize the content of the thread? To answer the question posed by **Czarcasm** : I was baptized Roman Catholic soon after being born in 1959, but my father didn’t agree with the Vatican II reforms, so I was only a “churchgoer” for a few years in the early 1960’s. When I moved to Lafayette in 2001, however, I began attending the local Unitarian Universalist Church because my sweetie is a member. I doubt I’ll ever “sign the book” and become an official member of the congregation, though. My personal belief system falls somewhere in the Deist/soft theist portion of the faith spectrum. ---

None. I find no reason to postulate the existence of a supernatural force and don’t feel “atheism” or “agnosticism” qualifies as a religion. **Czarcasm,** wouldn’t it be interesting to see what each poster’s parents were or what religion they grew up with? I’ll bet most follow in the family’s footsteps. Not me. My parents were devout fundamentalist Presbyterians. I began questioning their beliefs by puberty and thoroughly rejected them by age 25. ---
