Atheism is that you firmly believe there is no god(s) As an atheist, this is not what I believe. You probably aren't an atheist then, by definition that is what an atheist is. atheism noun disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods. That definition (which is my actual stance) and what the user I quoted said are two extremely different things. If you believe there is even a chance that gods or a higher being exist, then you are not atheist. You are agnostic atheist if you want to get specific... Atheism is one extreme while Deism is the other You said I wasn't an atheist and then said I was a kind of atheist. I'm not sure you've properly considered the definitions you use. And theism is typically the counterpart to atheism. No I didn't say you were "kind of atheist." Atheists do not believe in any gods whatsoever and do not believe there is a chance they are wrong. Someone who holds the belief that they do not believe in gods but don't outright dismiss them as not a possibility is agnostic atheist. You are right deism was the wrong word, theism is proper in this case apologies on that. --- RIP: Canuklehead, Karma: 1369 // RIP: Gen_Lee_Enfield, Karma: 1731 // RIP: Orlando of the Axe, Karma: 1642 // RIP nayr626 Karma: 4395 --They delivered! <cite>Dustin1280 posted [p:897156853] in Agnosticis...
