Not sure if that is an architecture reference, a poker reference or something else altogether. Guess I'm confused.

Godless seems to work for many...
But it does look a bit like godzilla...

I feel that if you're not a theist you're simply an atheist. Some of us are self proclaimed atheists who wear the label and some are not.

'ante' means before, prior to.

Ahh .. the architecture reference then. So we are the lobby before the great room of theism, hey? That's okay. Just as long as we don't go in, we're still not theists.

Other than on here I'm a no. As in: Them - "Do you believe in god?" Me - "No." Or perhaps: Them - "Do you want to say a prayer?" Me - "No."

No works fine. No god for me, thanks. Please save someone else. I guess you could classify yourself as a naysayer.

Perhaps, harder to remember than "No" though. If they carry on speaking you can proceed to the "No, fuck off!" group. They are considered by some to be a bit extreme. I think they're okay though.

So if "no thank you" doesn't get it done, go to "no fuck you very much". Sensible. Good to have a tiered response.
