I think I count as agnostic (under the PROPER definition, not this butchered "contrarian theist" one) because I think the question whether there is a god is silly as there is nothing to even pose the question other than a few unreliable texts that could just as well be completely made up.
BTW, about that t0 talk there: Some theories suggest that time started with the big bang, as such any question "what came before the BB" is stupid as there is no "before the BB".

Mano, i think you could best be described as an Irreligious Theist.
You should brush up on the terminology before you throw it around though.

Also, this thread is built to create an UBAR FLAEM WAR, we all see what you did there manored.
What? :)
Im just curious, altough I just noticed that atheist and agnostic are pretty much the same thing wich means that there is no point in deciding between one. So the matter is just if you have a religion or not :)
Oh, and If you believe in afterlife or not. That makes a lot of difference :)

I personally find the idea of some all powerful deity watching over us to be laughable.

Rattle, why do you think - HIS Hollyness - the flying spaghettimonster is pictured with devoted Meatballs ? Those once all were heretics....
Me, i believe in free flatheating rooms with Radiatorposts in soon to come Flamewarthreads..
One Good thing is that gods can become historical figures simply forgotten by all believers. Somebody remember Zeus or Rah- there you go, Allah, Jehova or however.. nice place in the Museum waiting for you.

Taken from an interesting intoxicated conversation I had with some chap at an illegal party in cambridge. This is the only idea of a "god" I would accept if forced to do so:
(This is a dumbed down translation)
God does exist. He created the rules and parameters which govern matter. if you like.... he designed and built the ultimate physics engine.
But due to the way this engine works, he has no physical way to control, edit or affect his creation. Powerless.
So even if there was a way to communicate with him, we wouldn't have to listen to a word he said......

cheers felix, I wasn't aware of Deism.
I will read into it sometime.
But for now it is friday evening, so I must go forth and socially degrade myself by getting messy to generic repetative techno.

n.
One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.
why do people have such bizarre ideas about this
a meaning not
theist being one who subscribes to a specific god
people seem to believe it only applies to "God" but such a notion gets really old because it comes from Christian dominated culture.

A theist is someone who believes in the existence of any god. Diests, monotheists, and polytheists are all theists. They have different opinions as to the nature of the god or gods they believe in. They are all still theists however.
An agnostic is someone who does not "believe" in God... but either believes that the existence of god is possible, or just does not care to form an opinion one way or another.
An atheist is someone who does not believe in any god or gods at all. They believe that no god or gods exist, and the existence of such things is not possible.

An agnostic does not believe in God... an atheist believes in no God.
It's really that simple, if you think about it.
