I think I'm becoming an Apatheist

[Rock]

I was going to start a thread on "Atheist Fatigue or Atheist Burn-out" when I saw this one. I have fundamentalist Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Deists in my family. Discussing religion with any of them is like arguing about the best flavor jelly bean with someone who has no taste buds. It is a lost cause. There is something broken there that makes them NEED to believe. I've found the folks who are passionate about Atheism can be just as frightening. Its a NON-BELIEF! Whats to argue about?

I've finally gone beyond being an Agnostic Atheist and settle on being an Ignostic. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignosticism). Its not about comfort or being right. Its about knowing that we don't know and going on to have a nice, productive, happy life.

I find it humorous that I'm the guy who is trusted to unlock & lock a church for volleyball when the regular guy (the church's childrens pastor) can't do it. Yesterday a new player asked me what my religion was. I said to myself, "Oh shit here we go again." I told him I was agnostic/atheist/ignostic (for simplicity's sake!) and asked if he was a Christian. He said no, he was a Free Thinker, he believed in everything! WTF!? I just played volleyball. You can't fix stupid and I have no further interest in saving the world from itself.

I read every book on apologetics I could get my hands on and got ordained several times when I was a Christian (years ago). When finding the truth became more important than the fellowship and my unanswered questions would slumber no more, I read about as many books on atheism and disbelief. I'm not angry, righteous, resentful, or lonely anymore.

My dogtags in the military had "NONE" for religion. I think thats the best answer I can embrace.
