"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored" - Aldous Huxley


I agree, using the weak definition of athiest, .... I am one.
My problem, and it is mine, I don't feel like an atheist.
You don't feel like someone who doesn't believe in God? I don't know; sometimes I feel rather inhuman when I get up a 6 in the morning to do my paper routes...still human right?
I think my beliefs and the way I reason are reconcilable at least with my understanding of what is an agnostic.

Deists, theists, atheists (weak and strong) and for that matter agnostics can, as far as I'm concerned, can use whatever definitions for themselves, so long as they make themselves clear. What is important is their ideas, thoughts and concepts.....good or bad.I guess the problem is a lot of people don't make themselves very clear or make apparently contradictory statements because of the way they defien words.

I try not to point out someone is wrong .... for it could easily me that's wrong. I just ask questions and express an opinion when asked (there exceptions when I ask a question).
Very smart approach. Thansk for your response.
I intentionally did not answer your question directly.

But I hoped my answer helped.
