I like to think of myself as more of an omnipotent, omnipresent zebra who defies the idea of a gender.

I'm an apatheist (don't care about whether or not gods exist) ignostic (the concept is ill-defined) gnostic atheist (I know gods don't exist).
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?

Oh yeah, I forgot that. I'm apatheist and ignostic too. Gnostic against selective inconsistent claims.
I like collecting badges.

If I were a Zebra, I'd be a Quagga just for the nerd factor.

I used to identify as an agnostic for quite a while until I read more and realised that the idea of proposing there is a 50/50 probability doesn't make logical sense. But I sometimes fear that the word 'atheist' may make people think we are suggesting we know for sure there is no god when that isn't really the case. I'd like if there were a better word which helped to encompass the idea that it's 'atheist because of a lack of evidence to the contrary', not because we know there isn't a god.
