well this is getting into semantics...
but then why are atheists usually distinct from agnostics
i would be careful labeling your self with something what has such a broad definition. seems like agnostic is defined more precisely to where you stand in your "atheism"
seems like by calling yourself an atheist but standing as an agnostic you will always have to further explain yourself or no one will actually understand your thought.
oh sure. that's why i'm agnostic. i don't like presume anything. unlike Atheists. lol
I think as long as you think it's likely that God doesn't exist you can count yourself atheist

even then you have to define what god even is. you can still believe in a high power or order but still not think that power is some old man in the sky.

Look, if being an atheist just means that you don't believe in any sort of Christian type of God, then yes, i am an atheist as well.
But seeing as how being an atheist means you are "100% sure there is no higher form of consciousness, no ETs, UFOs, angels, demons, Gods, Goddesses, living earth..etc" then yes, that means you are not intelligent because any of the things i just listed COULD exist. Of course we cant prove if there is or isn't, but to say "theres no proof of them" doesn't mean shit because things are being proven and disproven every day at an alarming rate.
this thread sucks. same with any atheist.

I don't believe in the existence of the Christian god, nor do I believe in the existence of the gods of other organized religions. I do not consider myself an atheist or agnostic either. I'll call it "spiritual" for lack of a better term. This is due to OBEs I've had and the many "higher" entities I have encountered. If I had never had an OBE, I'd probably consider myself an atheist. But I left my body as well as this plane of existence...

Being atheist requires a certain level of intelligence.
So I guess you do qualify...

No, what i said is the truth. Being an atheist means you are denying the things that we are not sure of. To deny something we are not sure of isn't intelligent. Its being close-minded.
