El Dildo Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Theist - 100% certain one or more gods existAg-theist - Not certain but think one or more gods probably exist Ag-atheist - Not certain but think there's probably no gods Atheist - 100% sure no gods exist Using this, the most rational position to take is agnostic-atheist. But I don't use this and just say 'f*ck it, I'm an atheist' for simplicity. that seems really dumb you're splitting hairs that don't need to be split. someone can be religious in the denominational sense (Christian, Jew, Muslim). someone can be religious in the non-denominational sense (spiritual, pagan, nature, "theist"). and then someone can be non-religious. if you're not religious you can be agnostic or atheist. agnostic is just the pussy version of atheist. it's like someone who wants to give up smoking but instead of just quitting they bum one of those electronic cigarettes. if you're agnostic you're atheist. you might still be in the closet a little, but you're well on your way to atheism.

I cucked Alex Jones Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 you're either religious, agnostic, or an atheist. Well some people use four categories; you're either theist, agnostic-theist, agnostic-atheist or atheist. Theist - 100% certain one or more gods exist Ag-theist - Not certain but think one or more gods probably exist Ag-atheist - Not certain but think there's probably no gods Atheist - 100% sure no gods exist Using this, the most rational position to take is agnostic-atheist. But I don't use this and just say 'f*ck it, I'm an atheist' for simplicity. In addition are deists, who believe a god created the universe. Theists tend to be more religious and believe to prophets and miracles and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, all my agnostic friends act so much like my atheist friends I can't tell. One of my friend says he's agnostic but I've kept telling him he's an atheist for so long due to how he almost always hates upon religion, mine in particular. We're still good friends though.
