Lol I have read most of the major titles on atheism. I think there is a lot of retarded shit in the bible. Thats awesome. Now lets focus our efforts on what you DO believe in. labelling yourself as an atheist is a fad at this point. People do it to feel superior and intellectual
I agree with most of the points made. But you are essentially defining your existence by what you are against
And the same "greater than thou" ness that the over religious have in their tone, much of the atheist community has

i am defiantly not an atheist. i just do not believe(in) certain things, that is all. i do believe there to be a supreme being, i just do not believe in god. i would describe myself as being nonreligious.

i think that it is funny that there is so much homosexuality/sexual abuse when it comes to the "church"(pastors and the other people in charge or in powerful positions within the church). the people that are supposed to represent god molest kids and then there are the homosexuals. maybe i am wrong, but doesn't the bible speak against these sorts of lifestyles/activities?

Im of the opinion that it cant be ruled out, consciousness can effect a measurable force on inanimate matter. It can literally change the outcome of events and its no where close to being accurately understood, yet alone tied into everything else, it might be easy enough to classify the speed objects drop in a vaccum, or the peculiar velocity of light but the most complex questions we have about this reality remain unanswered by science, so to me it seems foolish to rule something like a thereafter out because we can assign a particular charge to an electron, or calculate a redshift, when we cut down to it we're nothing but a bunch of fucking fools who have no idea whats going on with anything. Aside from the most basic and elementary things, things that slap you in the fucking face with their simplicity. The broader picture, I believe, is still lost on humanity.

That type of belief is an oxymoron. 'God' is not the given name for the Christian god, it's a formal title for a position. The closest I've come to for an actual name for the Christian god is Yahweh but after having discussed this with my cousin, who is a priest who majored in theistic studies said, and I'm paraphrasing here, even Yahweh is a colloquialism stemming from Judaism. So saying that you don't believe in god but do believe in a supreme being is like saying you don't believe in a supreme being but you also believe in one.

Tell me seed, what draws you to believing in a singular creationary being? Is it the allure of being inextricably connected to something so unfathomably powerful? Is it the idea of potential permanence in a sea of transience? Or is it something else?

i believe that there is one in power. that which is the highest power. one creator(although i do think there is another name for "it" that i do not know) that will always be the one at the top. it is just waiting for the right time to make it's move. receive that as you will. it just sits back and watches the show so to speak, and lets people do as they please.
when i refer to the "one" i am referring to the one that created everything that is known to the human race.

Really? Is the afterlife whatever your ego is willing you to imagine? Im sure whatever petty material fulfillment's you desire are at the forefront of this change. When god sweeps down Im sure you'll be banging supermodels all day and breaking banks bro

Im nothing more then a dream of a god, a momentary break from being all knowing and all seeing and eventually I'll return to that level of being because there is no separation between anything, and the most powerful force is inseparable from the lowest, and everything will be remembered, its the forgetting what you were that brings life to whats always been.

I'm actually an atheist. I'm not super knowledgeable about religion but I do like to look into their beliefs and their roots to see if there is any merit to them. I mean it's just as stupid to blindly reject something as it is to blindly accept it. My point was that your saying that you don't believe in [ambiguous term], however you do believe that there might be an [ambiguous term.] This is oxymoronic.
The etymology of the word 'God' is debated. Upon some research I've found that the word 'God' is a relatively new word (peaking in usage in the late 1600s to early 1700s) and, contrary to what I've said before, has evolved to be the proper name of the Christian God, but it's roots are not as such. The roots however are what are debated. The German; Gott, the Persian; Khuda, the Gothic; gheu. Most of which mean the light, the one invoked, the one to sacrifice to, ect. Although, keep in mind, this is information gathered in like 10 minutes of research so there's probably more concise etymologies out there.

I gave myself the name Idiot because that's how everyone should feel about themselves and hence I feel this about myself, some might call it depression. I've been called many things throughout my life and I'm not gonna lie, Iv'e been called an idiot, stupid, ect. but the ratio of being called smart (or similar) vs stupid (or similar) favors smart. Regardless of that, and even though everyone thinking of ones self as an idiot might be overbearing, I do believe that humility should be more prevalent in society.
