Ok....so...i am trying to find a good definition for my beliefs...but I can't find one that truly meets my beliefs...I was hoping there might be some etymologists here...I suppose there isn?t really a reason for wanting one or two words to define my belief system since I have to explain it all the time anyways...it would be nice to not have to say it all out first, then say it again though...if you understand what I am saying...lol...
Anyways...here is basically, and i do mean basically, what i believe:
I don?t believe in god, but I don?t not believe in one either. I don?t believe it is possible for anyone to really know if there is a god or not and I believe the search is futile. I am apathetic towards the search of a god or search for belief in or belief not in a god because if no one can know, wtf is the point? I do believe that religion can be good in some instances, can provide a good moral grounding, and can aide in the relief of emotional distress and addictions (KEYWORD: AIDE, NOT solve.. -_-) hmmm...lets see...I think scientology is BS...and creationism is totally retarded and is NOT a science...
so...that makes me....:
Atheist: lack of belief in a god, gods, etc.
agnostic: belief that no one knows or can know if there is a god or gods, etc.
apatheist: belief that questioning if there is or isn?t a god is pointless and should not be pursued
ignostic: belief that the question of existence of a god is meaningless b/c there is no consequences, therefore should be ignored
nontheist: absence of belief in both the existence and non-existence of a deity
freethinker: Freethought is a philosophical doctrine that holds that beliefs should be formed on scientific facts and inquiry and not comprised by authority, tradition or any belief system that restricts logical reasoning
Anti-Scientologist: Self explanatory...
Pastafarian: lmfao...😀
ok...ok...i know about 75% of those can all fall under each other (ex. apatheist agnostic, and ignosticism is kind of those combined..., etc.)
again, this isnt a belief debate...its a debate about the meaning of words and search to see if i can find a word or group of words that better describes my beliefs...
some would say i am indecisivist but i am set on my beliefs, it is simply the words that irk me 😛
edit: spell checked...
