As you can see, I was confused. It was a horrible time. I think it was actually two weeks.

Confused doesn't mean you were an atheist. It means you were confused. If you were an atheist, then you are a seriously deluded individual now, possibly in need of medication.

And you have no fucking clue what it actually means to be an atheist. Jesus. Don't believe in morality, wtf.

Atheist just means to be without belief in God. Not knowing if I knew God existed or not, made me not believe in God.

I would be agnostic theist if I didn't know if I knew God existed but still believed he did.

I didn't believe he did nor believed he didn't.

Wrong. xD

No wonder you're so fucking confused.

Agnosticism is sitting on the fence in regards to the belief of god. Does he exist, does he not exist, I'm not sure, that is agnosticism.

The general use of the term agnostic you are right, in the sense of being neutral between belief in God or denial of God. But Atheists here don't use that term in that sense.

The general usage of the term Atheist in philosophy and by theists, you are right I was not Atheist. ie. Don't say God doesn't exist. As Atheists to most people means denial of God.

However by the way Atheists here define the term (ie. not believing in God), then I was an Atheist.

Stop arguing for the sake of arguing.

I'll go with this, which is from wikipedia.


Quote: Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

But also per Wikipedia:

Quote: A proposition is generally considered objectively true (to have objective truth) when its truth conditions are met and are "bias-free"; that is, existing without biases caused by, feelings, ideas, etc. of a sentient subject.


So where does one find anything which is "bias free?"  Does it sit on the ideal chair or under the ideal sofa?

I'm perfectly happy with my subjective life full of personal biases.  If that makes me a nihilist by the above definition (which I don't grant as coherent) then so be it.  I share my biases with most of my community and we make up our own very satisfying purposes, thank you very much.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
