- kingkilr 15y agoNode.JS isn't a language, python is just as compiled as java is, etc.
- EarnestoDev 15y agoYou missed Orthdoxy. Really? The true Christian Faith, kept untouched and not-updated by modernity since Christ. You need to document yourself a bit more before such a poll. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodoxy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodoxy http://orthodoxwiki.org/Main_Page http://orthodoxwiki.org/Main_Page Regards.
- udp 15y agoIt's a text field, you can type whatever you want.
- EarnestoDev 15y agoEverytime you give options you 'suggest' answers ;) Come on... everybody knows that. Atheist is 1st. IMHO, no programmer can be atheist.
- orenmazor 15y agowhy not?
- EarnestoDev 15y agoBecause a programmer knows the complexity of intertwined systems and the probability of randomness leading to it. Then he sees how the entire world interoperates and regulates itself, sees the pure perfection and knows it cannot be the product of chance. My code doesn't write itself, by chance.
- Navarr 15y agoNature doesn't either. It tries something. If it works, then it continues; if it doesn't, it tries something else. And thus x amt of monkeys were able to randomly recreate the works of Shakespeare.
- EarnestoDev 15y agoMonkeys know better. PS: And I'm so framing your comment! It's priceless.
- Miky 15y agoA programmer should, by that logic, see the complexity of God and see that He cannot be the product of chance. Perfect, omnipotent beings don't just appear by chance. Where did He come from?
- fferen 15y agoVery interesting, looking forward to analysis of the results.
- cpt1138 15y agoAtheism is a religion like bald is a hair color
- Navarr 15y agoThe belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods. Details of belief as taught or discussed. Atheism (movement regardless) is the strict belief that a god does not exist; hence a religion. Agnosticism/Non-religious is more not a religion.
- Miky 15y agoI think you'd find it pretty difficult to find an atheist who claims to strictly know with any kind of certainty that no gods/creators/things outside the universe exist (except maybe Hawking, but he's definitely not representative). Sure, plenty of people claim to know with certainty that specific religions are false, but there's a big difference between the two that is often confused and glossed over by people making the argument you're making.
- tzs 15y agoBy that argument, a belief that Santa Claus (as an actual being who lives at the North Pole and on Christmas Eve delivers toys to all the good children) does not exist is a religion.
- Navarr 15y agoSanta Claus is pre-determined to not exist; and as far as human culture is concerned Deities are not pre-determined to be non-existent. Though yes, there is the strict belief that santa claus does not exist and that is a belief. Atheism is a religion because people who self-declare atheism are normally people who strictly believe that no deities exist. Either way, whether is a religion or non-religion, it is something people cite as their religious views, hence the inclusion of it in this form.
- Udo 15y agoCorrect, but the survey has to have some option to specify non-belief so I think it's valid to include it as a choice. It's like saying: "Religion: none" and null is technically a valid value in this case.
- Fargren 15y agoI have a personal set of beliefs that doesn't fit in any organized religion (though it takes a lot from budhism and juedo-christianism). I'm not sure how to complete the poll.
