To me it seems close to pandeism - but maybe that's just me
Like you said it makes more sense than following a religion, even though you don't believe in it's creed. Like that priest in Denmark I believe.
Back to Pagan Atheism, it does seem to be very much about reverence to nature, whilst not getting into all the spiritual stuff. Or at least a different type of spiritualism - which doesn't rely on the existence of the supernatural. The idea of god's and goddesses seems to be viewed as unimportant and distracting. As that is just a human thing, to put a name to a face, and extrapolating information which in the end is useless and which can not be verified. That's what I get from it at least. Maybe it's also similar to Spinoza's and Einstein's idea of god or maybe I'm going way off course - as that concept is panentheist in nature

Actually I'm all rather confused about it. For Catholic atheism it is because they see the Vatican as a important historical force, which can create unity. For Jewish Atheism it's because of heritage. But for Pagan Atheism apparently they believe they can connect with nature, but there is no intelligence behind it. I think at least. here is a link:

And yes it is on beliefnet

Oh yeah you about Christian/Jewish atheism and stuff.
Well I was reading an article yesterday on Pagan Atheism.
What is your opinion on these beliefs?

You're more Buddhist than me
Looks like I need to improve on The Noble Eightfold Path
I think I keep getting Quaker as I have pacifism and nature on high

Yeah I try to not talk religion to my family, but they keep preaching to me
Plus even though my mum spent like 5 years in Israel doing Bible study, whenever I mention a verse she doesn't like, she says it's not in the Bible. So I show her it, then she says that those verse are irrelevant as other verses contradict them. Wait, surely if the Bible contradicts itself that's an area for concern, right? Bah, next time it happens I'm just going to not reply - like you said. I've given up really, besides I know what will happen.

Well at least they aren't telling me that I should have never been born and I should die any more. So things are getting less tense, I just need to ignore all the stuff in the house now

And even though I haven't played games for months, it seems I won't be needing them. I'm going to do some volunteer work at the local nature reserve. Me and my axe know not the meaning of mercy, time to split stumpy.

Ok I re-took the quiz:
100% secular humanism
96% Unitarian universalism
88% Liberal Qaker
79% Neo-pagan
76% Liberal Christian
74% Theravada Buddhism
Hmmm I don't know which result I prefer interesting lol
Have you tried it?
Don't worry I'm in a weird mood
Anyway it's just intersting as it's really different from like a month a ago.

Oh the article seems to be a satire from what I can tell from the net - I should have checked it's authenticity first

haha I agree with you totally

I think I'm allowing my family situation to take a bit too much control over me
It's not that I'm becoming ant-Christian, it's just that whenever I hear someone sound like these hat-preachers I just loose it
And the self-righteousness of my family is driving me insane
Maybe I should just go back to computer games
Well at the moment I'm looking at some stuff on paganism and Buddhism to calm me down.
Oh a pagan put a link to this onion episode on teen shamanism - quite funny actually

I'm not going too mad am I?

Ok so I've just done the quiz on beliefnet here are the results:
100% Liberal Quaker
98% Unitarian Universalism
86% Theravada Buddhism/Secular Humanism/Taoism

LOL I'm still panendeist though - I think at least
Any ideas on what I should do now, about how to get my family to stop driving me insane, and for me to keep calm. Maybe I should just leave off the forums - I don't want to have another embarrassing outburst lol

Right I deleted the psychiatrist thing, I'm unsure if it is true. Do you know anything about it, it was on yahoo news and stuff but it could have been hoaxed. Ah I wish my family would drop this whole thing, I think I'm going a bit crazy

Haha I see you saw the thread.
Bah I give up, I think I over reacted.
But my family has been going at me again for not being Christian.
Oh it just gets better...

Plus I'm unsure about the source about the psychiatrist - still it words the situation beautifully.

OK it's not good. Oh and sry if this all bothering you too much, but try being saturated in this, if you need a rest from me just say

Oh this is too good
The psychiatrist of Israel's prime-minister has committed suicide. This is what he put in his suicide note:
“I can’t take it anymore,” wrote Yatom. “Robbery is redemption, apartheid is freedom, peace activists are terrorists, murder is self-defense, piracy is legality, Palestinians are Jordanians, annexation is liberation, there’s no end to his contradictions. Freud promised rationality would reign in the instinctual passions, but he never met Bibi Netanyahu. This guy would say Gandhi invented brass knuckes.”
