What is *open relationship*? How is it different from a regular relationship?

What kind of religious view is "probably atheist but do have faith in life"?

How is *agnostic* different from *atheist*?

How would you describe someone who is *completely honest but might hurt people badly with what he says*?

I will *spot* you when you climb up the rock climbing wall. Does that mean *catch or support*?

I make *mean * rib.= tasty?

Thanks guys

"open relationship" refers to one that is not kept a secret
Or it could refer to an honest relationship

You are referring to a secular humanist. Many many great writers and philosophers in the west have been this. Examples: Voltaire, Kurt Vonnegut and many more.
Possibly an existentialist but that's stretching it a bit.

Agnostics question. Atheists deny

blunt

Spot means note your location

Sometimes an open relationship is one in which the two people are free to have casual affairs with others.

When you are doing something that could be dangerous, like rock climbing, gymnastics, or weight lifting, you may want to have someone spot you--stand nearby to help in case you slip or can't handle the weights. That person is your spotter.

"I make a mean rib" does mean "I make very tasty ribs." You also hear such things as, "He mixes a mean martini" and "She plays a wicked hand of cards." Just another way of using "bad" to mean "good."
