I honestly don't believe I have it in me to become a christian again, too many logical fallacies, inconsistencies and contradictions. But I do believe there may be someone/something up there that started all this off.
Does atheism fall under that or is there another name for it? (For the record I don't believe this being is still involved with us or is probably just watching on a cinema screen type of thing eating popcorn)
As an atheist, I do not acknowledge a creator in any way, shape or form. No intelligent design, just physics. Anything else and I am not an atheist.
Personally, I do not accept any "first cause".

Here's the problem. Since Gods are made up beings that no one even knows what the fuck they are (including theists) no one has to think too hard about them. Is Derek a god? If God just means "creates universes" then yes he is, but that's just replacing one question with another pointless label.
Fuck Derek. Turn your damn practice realities off when you've finished with them. You hear me? People down here think you're some sort of omnipotent being. Ironically, you probably are with regard to this reality. Not so much in your own. People are eating wafers and thinking they turn into bits of your dead son. Sort it out.
