Welcome OP!
The DOUBT is Satan tryin' to get atwixt your brain cells. Just close your eyes and say JesusJesusJesusJesus! until the DOUBT begins to disappear. Or the police are called.
As for me, I'm a god-hatin', wine-drinkin', woman-lovin', IT-workin', "g" hatin', FSM-worshipin' atheist musician.
No Gods for me. Other than the FSM (SBUH) of course. I make a mean linguine with pesto; blackened Cajun chicken on the side.

Quote:Atheism, just to clarify what others have posted, is not the belief that "there is no god or gods" but rather the lack of a belief that there is one.
It depends, that is the description of an agnostic atheist, but a gnostic atheist will believe there are no gods/disbelieve the existence of gods. Most atheists identify with your last proposition, but some of them prefer taking it further and they become gnostics, they deny the existence of god and claim 'god doesn't exist'...
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

If you like ambiguity, I really can't tell you the best position, probably agnostic theist or agnostic atheist, after all you believer or lack belief but are not certain that you are right. You clearly don't fit gnosticism (to have knowledge)

You know what, this intro thread just about sums up the fucking confusing bollocks about defining theist/atheist/agnostic.
Why the fuck do we make it so fucking complicated, maybe because we enjoy the debate?
For me though, you either believe in (and have faith in) one of the multitude of gods available OR you don't. This fucking about with definitions means nothing in reality, for me you either are in the land of make believe or you are not.
