I think that is a perfectly reasonable answer. The only thing I will say is that you probably changed and started playing the dance when you did find out what it was called.
What...on earth...are you talking about, lol?

Quote:I find myself in a state  of reevaluation knowing that what you are saying here about your beliefs is probably true. My only problem there is that I question where the point that your learned what it was called if you are an atheist since I think that is a pretty common belief which would be difficult to not know about.
I cant recall when I first heard the term atheist and said..hm, oh yeah.  Why would I know anything about atheism in a "historically" believing world?  You know we non-believers aren;t grown on atheist farms or anything like that...right?


Quote:What makes you say I am automatically a hypocrite based on my beliefs? I am not saying those things lead to things that are miraculous or divine. 
Fairly simple, really..you let loose a minor bitchfest about how atheists™ weren;t thinking for themselves..a common bit of nonsense for the faithful...then immediately assured yourself (I guess?) that you weren't a hypocrite...directly before listing off not only a common belief, but a common set of rationalizations for that belief.  Now...sure...sure, you could have arrived at the exact script of every other nutter in existence, by enormous coincidence alone...in a "historically" believing world.........but if you already find it unlikely that some minority viewpoint is thinking for itself...the likelihood of your scenario being representative of anything other than groupthinking hypocrisy must be even less than that.

Right?
