Atheism...where do you fit in?
|
The characteristics of gods are left deliberately vague, so that when someone tries to analyse them the theist can just say "oh well, that's not what I mean by a god."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Just watched the last XMen again.
God is like Mystique. It can become whatever those who yield it to be to benefit the very few at the expense of everyone else. It's the most disgusting weapon ever devised. It goes one better than brute force, it turns you against your own human nature!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. 
Abstention
"Get in where you fit in."
I prefer getting in where I'm too big to fit in

I am a "Religious Atheist". I heavily enjoy Dharmic philosophies such as the Mimamsa school of Hinduism along with things like Daoism. I am also an advent Baalist and use Arabic/Islamic philosophy a lot.
All hail Baal, Master of the Cosmos! As for my position for theism, I am strongly anti-theistic, ignostic and anti religion. Religion is not a coherent concept, god is not a coherent concept yet alone being and if it ain't even clear then it is just dancing around with semantics which I hate with all my heart. ...Meow Also, when I say Baalist I do not mean a Baalist as in a worshiper of one of the many Baal deities throughout history. Baal is a title not a deity and has been used for kings, spouses and leaders. Baal literally translates to Lord/Master and is used to express ownership or rule. So what I call "Baal" is just the cosmos, it is a way of making the cosmos more relatable on an anthropomorphic scale. I just love symbolism so I could not abandon my fun with the usage of Baal. ...Meow Ut supra, ita inferius

I had to go with: Believer - No doubt...there is a God.*
No doubt....there are aliens too. I just don't claim to know shit about them. Until then I can only imagine their existence.
god is supposed to be imaginary

Compulsive procrastinator  Religious Views: Agnostic atheist, anti-theist, whovian, misanthrope?
Obviously there is doubt.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech 
To provide more accurate labels based on your definitions:
Quote:1. Anti-theist/Gnostic atheist & anti-supernaturalist - No gods/nothing supernatural about our world So you're conflating a/gnosticism, anti/a/theism, anti/a/supernaturalism & anti/a/religiosity. It's no wonder I can't choose. If you break your questions down in to more detailed & appropriate categories, you'll get better responses.
Sum ergo sum
