ditto what RACETRAITOR said.

i am a proud agnostic.
all religions suck.
i'm not smart, arrogant or brave enough to say that there is/are or isn't/aren't something(s) bigger, better, smarter and faster than us somewhere.
but i do enjoy an afternoon of lively discussion near a lake with tea and crumpets!
rss Cool

I wouldn't call myself an agnostic. I'm still an atheist. To me it's more about disbelieving the lies put forward by people pretending to speak for God.

And if there is this hypothetical god, it certainly doesn't need our worship.


atheist or agnostic?
which statement will you stand behind?
you haven't ruled out the notion of a god, which to me, indicates agnosticism.
c'mon RACETRAITOR! pick one!

I'm an atheist who thinks the main issue is about religions, not stuff that exists outside of time. That sort of thing isn't even worth debating.

I'm sure every religion would like to think it's got some sort of tie to the supernatural. But it doesn't.

Many atheists realise that you can't be 100% certain about anything, I would consider myself 99.9% atheist, that's very different to an agnostic who may be considered more of a fence sitter. It also means I haven't ruled out a god either in same way I can't prove Russell's Tea Pot orbits the sun.

Can we bring girls? and not talk about Nietzsche. Or just talk about girls or atheist girls.

Any girl atheists on here?

So you're a weak atheist, then?

Weak atheist: Does not believe any gods exists.
Strong atheist: Believes no god exists.


I'm not sure where I lie on that spectrum.

I would say I'm very strong in my convictions, either way. As I said, I'm more concerned with the belief in God than in any God itself.
