Why Something Rather Than Nothing?

[Exian]

Also, I'm an atheist now. Well, not now exactly, they have to form a theistic religion first, but...

So, as an atheist, you define yourself solely in opposition to various opinions held by different individual theists.

It's like a conservative who just hates the left but has no ideas of his own.

You have refuted 23, say, concepts of God, and are waiting for some theist (me, perhaps?) to give you the 24th concept to reject.

Is that how it is?

Well, I do, after all, hate god. Is that what you were driving at?

No, that isn't the sole definition of myself. But in order for me to label myself an atheist there has to at least be one defined position of theist. And I consider my atheist position tentative. I constantly put it on the line when honestly reviewing any god claim. It's not a position that I hold dear- that must be correct at all costs. If a god claim presents it's self that I find I cannot reject, then I will say I am not an atheist.

(I don't hate what I don't believe in- to clear that up.)
