Why do you label yourself as an Atheist and then proceed to postulate supernatural dribble?
Drop the superfluous nonsense if you're an Atheist.

It sounds like it's halfway between Pantheism and Deism to me.

I'd call that 'gullible' and 'thick'. 
Confused.

It's definitely not "Thinking Atheist."

Agnostic Fantasism which is on paper at least a lot more positive than the established majors though However such a belief while rather nice has no hard falsifiable evidence to prove it true and so is therefore equally prone to non existence as the other usual suspects [ still rather nice though ] You believe this since you want to and not because it actually is true though one can completely understand your human desire to shape this complimentary Universe however. But just remember here now that is not for our benefit and objective reality is therefore how we should really reference it or rather as close to as is actually humanly possible to do (February 6, 2012 at 7:52 pm)Gooders1002 Wrote: I feel when ever I pin something down something messes with my head throwing it up in the air, I base everything I know on cold hard facts but then I get this feeling like there just something there and I have know idea or it s my over active mind messing with me time and time again and the feeling is not in my heart but my head and I want it to go away when every I see something I go one way but at the same time I go the other when I see cold hard fact I just I just don t know what to belief You are a young man right on the cusp of adulthood and like lots of young men and women of your age you want certainty and want it now. How ever you need to learn patience because any pearls of wisdom shall not come falling into your lap just because you are frustrated and angry. Does not work like that unfortunately. I will give you however two absolute fundamentals which should guide you through this : stick to these and you will not go wrong : accept what is true and can be proven to be so and as I have already referenced in my previous post do not ever entertain the seductive notion that the Universe is here for our benefit : it is not I can assure you. One other thing Avoid thinking all the time rather learn to enjoy life however. For wisdom may come knocking when you least expect it so cut yourself some slack and relax a tad
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN

This was last night and I now have come back to reality since so, i was then confused now, I have dropped the superfluous nonsense so my current believe is correct and I am now happy for this thread to be closed and sent to the lower depths.
