      I think it needs a duckling in the foreground and a clown in the background, for scale.
      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

      Fine... How do you draw a fourth dimension? Would I have to say that 3D = a point?

      Now you better not make me make a fifth.

      o.o The one with the duckling and the clown is epic.

      To add the fourth dimension you could have just added another axis at a random angle that isn't horizontal, vertical, or pi/4.

      Nearly 10% Christian…
      That was a very good start prediction!

      I think there may be some sort of God but not in any of the religion's point of view.

      i'm neither religious nor am i atheist and not even agnostic
      i don't believe in a god or any other being that controls the universe(and i'm not open to the idea),i don't believe life was a stupid accident either
      i am spiritual though,but spirituality is not the same as religion(there is a connection)
      i believe there is life after death and i believe life and indeed all existence has a purpose

      Well I'm Atheist and I don't believe in an afterlife nor that existence has purpose, so I'm a bit of a Neo-Nihilist.

      Atheism and agnosticism are not mutually exclusive. You can be both. Gnosticism is concerned with knowledge and theism is concerned with the existence of a god. EVERYONE is either gnostic or agnostic when it comes to the existence of a god. In the same way everyone is either an atheist or a theist. If you believe in a god you are a theist, if you don't you're an atheist. If you KNOW something with 100% certainty then you are a gnostic. In other words, NO ONE is gnostic about this particular subject.

      I think some religions think 99% belief is not total faith in that religion.

      Also, athiesm is denying the existance of a God. Agonisticam is being not sure of a God.

      Most people are athiests in someway (from somewhere I've read): Christians usually don't belive in Hindu gods, Muslims usually don't believe in Norse gods…

      However, most people see that athiesm is the belief in no gods.

      Not quite.



      You can be as agnostic as you please, but it is on a separate scale from theism. Atheism is the lack of belief in a god. An agnostic atheist is one who does not believe there is a god, but does not claim to know that there is not. By contrast, a gnostic atheist does not believe there is a god, and claims to know for a fact that there is no god. The same can be applied to the theism side of the world. I suppose you could be smack in the middle of the chart, and that's one confuzzling area to be at, if you aren't sure what you stand for. So yes, you can be unsure, but usually, people have some idea of what they believe in regards to a God. So, if you're saying that you genuinely don't know, then you don't really believe in any specific god, do you?

      My problem is in my head I'm very agnostic, I don't believe in things very strongly because they don't have enough evidence for me. However, in reality I'll argue like I believe the shit of things I'm not necessarily sold on.
