All after everyone said they didn't want labels
I don't care about beliefs. They mean nothing to me. Their just based on feelings. Thats all it is. FEELINGS.
Nope, still wrong.
A belief is nothing more that accepting a premise or proposition as being true, or likely true.
One can accept a premise or proposition as being true for bad reasons (based on feelings, fallacious thinking), or one can accept a premise or proposition as being true for good reasons (demonstrable evidence, reasoned argument, valid and sound logic).

"Do i know there aren't any type of Gods? Including extraterrestrial and some far-out thing?"
Many of us atheists here do not claim to know, with absolute certainty, that gods don't exist.

I am going to continue to post this to you until you get it, or put me on ignore. A belief is nothing more that accepting a premise as being true.
Quote:Im tempted to say if u must put labels on me then call me agnostic theist. Cos yall pushing me away by trying to force beliefs onto me.
That is a legitimate label to hold. That would mean you do not claim to know if gods exist or not, but you believe they do.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
