I understand the premise behind "Theist" in this forum and I don't particularly believe in an all knowing, vauge higher being that looks over us. I just like to argue with people and learn things. Can someone tell me what I should put in the little box that says "what are your views on religion/God?" Or if there is a good technical example of a "god" that you look to in times of referenece? Thank you.

What really am I?

Maybe try looking up "Deist"?
 
How can there be a technical example when science cannot analyse it?
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. 
For the longest time of my life I believed in a totally neutral force driving the universe. That would be deist. But then I came to the conclusion that a totally neutral force doesn't need people believing or worshipping. It wouldn't care.
And I came to yet another conclusion. Me doing the same thing our stone Age ancestors were doing. Staring at the moon and the stars, not understanding them and in lack of a better explanation calling them gods. Only on a higher scientific level. But it was still filling the gap of knowledge. ![[Image: Bumper+Sticker+-+Asheville+-+Praise+Dog3.JPG]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-d-3rfdI7nG0%2FTerwtFyFXoI%2FAAAAAAAACak%2F7kFSmHeVrng%2Fs320%2FBumper%2BSticker%2B-%2BAsheville%2B-%2BPraise%2BDog3.JPG)

I can't tell you exactly what mine is, let alone tell you yours. I can tell you that atheist is as close as I can come without being specific. If I get into specifics then my view of atheist (what I believe/don't believe) would probably not match exactly to any other atheist here or anywhere. Why don't you tell us more about your belief(s), we'll tell you more about ours, then as you define things more you can change your view as you see fit. Beliefs often change. In my youth, theist, then neutral, then atheist. Who knows what in the future, not me.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
I do. Well, it is my bread and butter.
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.'
Hey there,
Deist might fit you, but since it sounds like your beliefs are fairly specifically your own, rather than those of some organized religion, why not try and define it yourself? For instance "whatever I feel like today", or something else snarky or funny. I'm technically an atheist, so I just kept it simple. I could have put something about my own take on philosophical Taoism, but I don't want to confuse people, lol. But really, I think of myself as an atheist AND a (non-religious) Taoist. Hmmm...maybe I ought to think harder about my own definition...... Er, but back to you. Yes, you should define it yourself. It might change, too.  Good luck figuring it out!

Personally I think if everyone just put "Sean Bean" then there would be no confusion.
