Some days I'm a 'atheist' if you want the truth, but I know that's when I'm pissed off that He's not coming out to play, as you put it. Why do you have to classify yourself as anything? If you're unsure, you're unsure.
Maybe I'm being picky but let's just make it clear that I never referred to your god or any other as "He" since I feel it gives greater weight to the concept than it deserves.
Because it's a label nothing more ... if you believe in a god you're a "theist", if you don't you're an "atheist" and I really don't accept the validity of "not knowing" in this context.
