RE: False perceptions about Atheism and Agnosticism

June 6, 2013 at 6:48 am

Stat, I consider myself an atheist. Here's why.

I do not believe in the existence of any god.
I lead my life in accordance with that... as if there is no god whatsoever.

In practical terms, I assume no god.
Mentally, I leave that option some wiggle room, just in case some god does present itself. Until then, I assume no god.

This does not equal belief in the absence of gods... but I admit it does look a lot like it.

Now, I'm no philosopher, but this is how I describe myself concerning gods. If other philosophers define atheist as something else, I couldn't care less. Maybe they're christians like you and want their opinions to stick, so atheists are seen under a bad light... or something. Human ulterior motives go over my head...
