So thoroughly devoid of god belief, of course.You know enough to call yourself and be acurately identified -as- a gnostic atheist.

Too bad, you didn't get to make that call. I'm also interested in what about us enables or facilitates god belief, but..since I know it isn't "gods".........gnostic atheist
Hmm...I have a harder time accepting a person's knowledge than their ignorance. Or is that normal?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
