Yeah... you hate labels....

I'm an anti-atheist atheist too. I'm against people getting caught up in Dogma.

Dogmatic Atheists are just as bad, if not worse, than Christians and Muslims.

Eh, I'm not going to bother taking that test - but I'm an atheist who doesn't believe in God, (will never believe probably) but I cannot deny the existence of one. Hell, people can believe whatever they want to, it's just not for me. Too many bad experiences.

No one can deny the existance of God.

Even Dawkins says in his book, that by the strictest definition of the word, he is an Agnostic.

I think people misdefine what an Atheist is. An Atheist is not someone who doesen't believe in God.

Most people define Atheists as people who *know* there is no God. This is impossible.

Atheism is non-theism. Or... someone who denies theism- a personal God whom man was created after.

I mean ****, there are Christian Atheists... like John-Shelby Spong for example - and Episcopalian high Bishop - who denies theism, and is in effect, a Christian Atheist.

Anyone can "deny" the existence for God, however, no one can prove without a doubt the existence of God or the non-existence of God.

Same with the "soul." No one can prove or disprove the existence of the soul.

Same with free will. No one can prove or disprove the existence of free will.

All are basic philosophical questions. If you ponder these profound questions, I suggest you take a basic philosophy course in college or continuing ed.

Take Western Philosophy 101.

If you have a brain, and really care, this basic course will change the way you think about life, and death.

I guess by "deny" I meant that you cant deny it 100% without reasonable cause.

What's there to prove? You said "No one can deny the existence of God."

I said "I can." So what do I have to prove?

I would like to know of the church goers here how many of them believe the Noah's Ark story? Too me that is no different than Greek Mythology with Medusa, Posiden, Zeus and the rest of their fables.

But whose to say that Gods hand didn't guide evolution?

I know the Pope says he did.

Or Adam and Eve. You know I read Spong's "The Sins of Scripture" and he said "no one except for the most stringent fundamentalists take the Adam and eve story as literal truth anymore"

I was like, "wait... I used to"

And just as many to disprove it as well.

I don't buy the "big bang" theory of the universe, in fact, I think it's a boat load of crap.

If you don't believe in God because you believe in evolution, then I have this puzzle for you: How do you know that God didn't make the Earth approximately 4000 years ago, as the bible says, with the evidence of evolution. That is, he indeed created this earth the way it is, with all the fossils and all the other stuff that suggests evolution.

How do you know that God didn't put fossils here just to TEST YOUR FAITH!?!

Fact is, you don't know. I know you don't know the answer to that question so you might as well not even try to answer that question.
