Re: Will The Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up?

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] If you want to be accurate, you are a nontheist. With your definition of "agnostic", it's pointless to even use the term, really. You are "agnostic" in regards to everything, so in terms of God-belief, you would be more forthcoming with people if you chose a different label than "agnostic". I'm an agnostic nontheist skeptic, myself. [/ QUOTE ] How about, I don't give a flying [censored] what you call me. I'm hmkpoker [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] It's not a matter of what someone calls you, it's a matter of what you call yourself, when asked if you believe in "god". Just be intellectually honest, here... you don't believe in god, that makes you an atheist. But, since that term is f'd up these days, you can use "nontheist" and be accurate and candid. [/ QUOTE ] That's not the answer to OP's question though. He asked who is certain. I am not certain. I lean pretty strongly on the side of disbelief though. If this makes me an atheist, that's fine. It's semantic squabbling, and I really don't care.

I don't really care all that much either, but rather than just calling you a "copout", I thought I'd try to be rational with you.

Is anyone here certain that there is no god? [/ QUOTE ] I am certain that the Bible's claims are bunk.

Now, I'd just prefer the Anti-Christ if Nietzsche didn't steal its thunder already.

I would suspect that you hold David Hume in a higher regard than I do King James.

Meh, sounds like the conclusion of a chronic masturbator. [/ QUOTE ] I actually stopped masturbating due to guilt, and ferociously took up christian apology. So I suppose your post has 0% meaning. Care to try again?
