I think I'm becoming an Apatheist

[Justtristo]

I've listened to the same tired old arguments from Christians here for purchasing their wonder product "God", containing "Salvation", "Jesus", "Sin", "Hell", "souls not included" etc, throwing out buzzwords like there's no tomorrow. I'm struggling to even read half of the endless stream of words they put out these days. Their sales pitch is quite frankly, awful. If there is a god, they failed miserably to convert me (on the assumption they're trying to as opposed to trolling of course).

I've tried to reinvigorate my love for discussion with them by watching Atheist Experience, George Carlin and Carl Sagan talk about issues of varying importance but I have to admit my passion for engaging them in debate is waning rapidly. Several times since I've joined this forum I've deleted my entire response because I no longer cared.

I'm developing a lack of interest towards belief or lack of belief in a deity. The label "God" used in any context is as meaningless to me as "great moogly googly". I no longer even care arguing about qualifiers for god's existence to my fundie mother or defending what atheism is with my college friend.

What's happening? Are Christians and other theists, by presenting their case for a deity so poorly and unconvincingly, to blame for this sudden lack and downward spiral of enthusiasm?

Welsh Cake,

I feel much the same way as you.
So my advice to you is to work on defending your positions if the need arises and not actively argue with theists.
