    Sounds like you have a lot of misguided anger. Sorry some atheist crapped on your couch. Don't generalize me bro?

    This is such an atheist thing to say. You've assigned me a value, much like you would an asset, and mentally programmed yourself to associate me with humor. Now when you don't get what you want from that asset, your brain throws a "do not compute" sign up in the air and you become flustered and look for ways to discard me.

    With friends like you, who needs enemies.

    All I see you doing here is associating spirituality to being a mindless sheep - with a set of rules on how to be that sheep?

    But that's not how I see it. Spirituality isn't about a set of rules or denominations. You can be a highly individualistic person and find solace in different aspects of different denominations, sometimes without knowing where it specifically belongs to. Sometimes they overlap, somtimes you're a hypocrite, but it's called living life. Your intuition, your mistakes, all that stuff makes you the person you are.

    I think you over-intellectualize the whole aspect of believing in something. You lack a natural feel for things, and this has been an issue throughout your life, so you don't like things you can't quantify. I can already tell you:

    1. Don't dance
    2. Aren't comfortable around good looking or artsy women
    3. Play computer games

    Are any of these false? This isn't a "diss" post; I just want to understand why you so fervently deal in absolutes.

    Ronnyness: the phenomenon whereby one projects one's own thoughts, motivations, desires, feelings, and so on onto someone else (usually atheists, but Ronnyness projection onto animals, parents, children, neighbors, other drivers, political figures, racial groups, states and countries, also occurs).

    "We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."

    Actually, being agnostic and being atheist are mutually exclusive. An agnostic professes that they do not know whether or not God (or a god or gods) exists, possibly even that it is impossible to know. An atheist believes unequivocally that no gods exist, which is incompatible with the belief that you don't or can't know. Mathematically speaking, the agnostic believes that the number of gods is somewhere between 0 and infinity (inclusive) while the atheist believes that the answer is conclusively zero.

    Religions has to be the biggest fraud in the world.

    How can there be so many, but each only believe theirs is real.

    Chances are None is real.

    Then you're not agnostic; you're a deist. An agnostic says "I don't know" as to whether there's a higher power.

    You're right, but neither would a real agnostic.

    I am an agnostic atheist.

    I am not sexually frustrated save for the fact that most women are not as dirty as I am.

    I am a nerd, as many intelligent people are likely to be classified.

    I am also unperturbed by the silly generalizations of an obvious troll.

    Nope.

    Neat.

    Nah. I prefer to we call a spade a spade. If something is quantifiable or unquantifiable, we deal with it accordingly.

    Getting personal here is kind of dumb, but it looks like you're trying to play a character, rather than be malicious, so I'll play along. I dance regularly. Even moreso when alcohol is involved. Of which I have a great palate for. I have sex with beautiful, intelligent, creative women (although the last artist I dated was bat***** insane). And I rock the occasional game of Halo or NBA2K11 as a way to keep in touch with my brother who lives elsewhere. So, unless XBOX counts as "computer games", you'd be 0 for 3.

    It's not about absolutes, it's about dealing in truth. Sometimes there are truths/facts. Sometimes there aren't. If there are, we should probably roll with them. If not, that's cool too. Just have to call it like it is.

    So were the gay atheists sexually frustrated too? If not, maybe the other 41 were really gay and didn't know it yet.

    I am about as agnostic about god as I am about fairies, ghosts and unicorns.

    Sure, they COULD exist... :grin:
