Quote:"The atheist does not say "there is no God," but he says "I know not what you mean by God; I am without idea of God; the word ´God´ is to me a sound conveying no clear or distinct affirmation." ... The Bible God I deny; the Christian God I disbelieve in; but I am not rash enough to say there is no God as long as you tell me you are unprepared to define God to me."
This is nice and all, and would make by his quote, make me an agnostic atheist(but strictly in a semantic future tense sense).
I hold no belief in any current claim of any type of god. But the future has not happened, but even then, I do not see a future where a plausible "God/god/deity" will ever prove to be a possibility.
My current position is there is no god. My strictly semantic "technical" view of the future is "I don't know", but I still place my bets on a god not existing, or even necessary.
