5 percenters

[s2a]

Would just like to know if there are any other Godbodies on this site. Don't be strangers Gods

I don't count myself amongst such a group (whatever percentage it may represent, which I suspect is much smaller than claimed).

I'm just an atheist. No group meetings. No social clubs. No newsletters. No secret handshakes, symbols/glyphs, or decoder rings.

*shrug*

The 5 percents reason that there are three groups of people on this earth:
The 85%-The masses that blindly follow religion
The 10%- Those that know what they are teaching is false/unproven, yet still choose to mislead the masses
The 5%- The enlightened who realize we are the "gods" of our own lives; we can truly do as we please without divine consequence

I find this interesting from a very different standpoint: the learned needs theory of motivation (McClelland and others) suggests that roughly 85 percent of the population is motivated primarily by the need for affiliation (called n Aff), roughly 10 percent primarily by the need for achievement (n Ach), and roughly 5 percent by a need for power (n Pow). Not exact numbers, but parallel. A few percent are motivated primarily or significantly by a need for autonomy--so the numbers round to more than 100 percent. There are also other needs identified under this theory, but they are rarely the primary need that drives behavior.

just an observation.

How can you imply yoursef as a 5%er and list your religion as Islam?

I am Satan ...

the 5 percenters consider white people devils, so I guess that is right in line with their ideology.

(We don't believe those are the exact numbers, before some ******** says so.)

I'm so unenlightened, I don't even know whether or not I should consider myself amongst that 5%. I've never thought of myself as any "god"above any others...

Another 5 percenter philosophy is that mathematics is the language of all nature, and in order to gain a full understanding of nature, we must do so by numbers (i.e. graphing natural occurences to figure out their patterns)

That seems to be sensible, but I'm no mathematician (yet, I still can read).

It is not a religious group, although we use the Muslim symbol of the star and crescent, and make references to "Allah". The Allah referred to is actually the founder of our organization who legally changed his name to Allah.

Obviously, within a court of law yet to be named...

Many of our members adopt god-like names, I guess you can call it a mockery of religion. We recognize religion as a man-made invention, and so see no problem in naming ourselves after gods, and calling each other "god". We are an organization completely centered on scientific truth and community cohesion.

Well, that's kinda not very interesting... but do continue...

I have an idea.

Howzabout a non-organization of simplistic unbelievers?

Let's call them...ummm..."atheists".

Perhaps our "causes" and "motivations" are similar, but absent all that desire of presumed mythological constructions.

Or do you really prefer Thor? Ra? Odin?

*yawn*
