Hi evan. Well, an atheist simply lacks belief in any gods. An atheist can also be agnostic if he/she believes that it is impossible to know if any gods exist. If you think there may be a god but are simply uninterested in the question, maybe you could best describe yourself as apathetic. :)

As for myself, I feel that there is no good working definition for the word "God" if we are using it in a theistic fashion, so I cannot comment on whether such a thing exists. Entertaining such a question becomes an absurd exeercise and the short answer is going to be No.. If someone were to ask me if MYhBu^r:Lo99J exists, I would feel more-or-less the same about the answer. Now if, by the word "God," we mean that which strikes us as powerful and numinous out of the whole of the human experience, then I'm in on the conversation. That's a way of using the term to actually describe something important.

I think, if I could bring myself to keep the non-theistic definition in mind and my fingers crossed and go on talking about God as if I were a theist, it would solve certain of my problems. But I can't seem to manage it. :(

Hi AirPo,

I just wrote to the founder of this group who always forgets to come around. Hope he drops by to say hello.

As I wrote above I'm not an atheist, am a believer in Jesus.

Open to discussing anything should you like, well, not anything but you know. hehe

Take care and glad you joined Onlinelife!
