What would my beliefs on god be considered?

(This post was last modified: December 20, 2013 at 7:33 pm by taylor93112.)
I do not believe in a personal god such as the god of christians, Muslims, Jews, etc..
But I am agnostic to the idea of a creator. I do not think it is possible at this moment to have any idea whether there was a type of creator in the beginning.
So would I just be an atheist to personal gods and agnostic to a creator? Lol. Is there a simpler term? Or is this just simply atheism?

Well, it sounds like you're an agnostic atheist, as are most of us on the forum.

I figured I would just be considered an agnostic atheist. But I am not a deist. Deists definitely believe in a creator, right? I'm just saying that there is no way to know.

Stop thinking about "knowing" and start thinking about probabilities.

What fraction of one percent should be applicable to an all-powerful sky-daddy who suddenly decided to "create" everything one boring Tuesday afternoon?
Seriously. Think about it.

That's true. I see where you are coming from. But if "the possibility of 'god' is equal to almost anything else" like you said, wouldn't being agnostic about it be the most intellectually honest position?
