Poll; theist, atheist or agnostic

No. You left out "undecided".(That's an observation, not a vote.)

Nope.An agnostic doesn't know. An "undecided" hasn't decided what to do with what he does know.

None the less, it leaves me disenfranchised.

Just so you know, somebody's been using your identity. There have been several posts in a row under your name that don't contain the word "nihilism".

Kinda like having only two bullets in your gun and not knowing who to shoot first? Six of one and a half-dozen of the other.

Nonsense. I can be equally close to all four official categories. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you don't care one way or the other and sometimes you just don't want to be bothered. robin voted for me - on this side of the border, that's illegal. I didn't protest because I didn't want to waste any more posts on the subject (and I don't want to see robin go to jail).But since you bring it up: why can't I have my own category, like Dr.Jones?
You could call it "Ringo - in a class by himself".

The trouble with atheists is they need so much training.In the religion game, you make your own pay and benefits. The sky's the limit.

But I'll always be the Head of the class. Ringo keeps his "followers" in front, where he can see them. Prepare for dispensation of wrath.

Ringo used to be a believer.But Ringo learned: what Buzsaw thinks he knows, he doesn't know.Buzsaw is an agnostic, even if he doesn't know it.

Please do not drag the nice tidy thread off topic by discussing behaviours

Many theists also behave as if God did not exist.Edited by AdminNosy, : No reason given.

Your math is off. It should be 0+0+0+0+0+0+0 = 0.

It's not a cop-out. I am all over the place. Although I appreciate nemesis_juggernaut finally showing a sense of humour about something, my point was partly serious. All of us are in a category by ourselves. We can't really know where anybody else stands. All we can do is guess who seems to be standing close to us.Setting up arbitrary categories is just asking people which float they want to ride on.
I prefer to march to my own drummer.(Alternate answer: I am God. )

I think it's even acceptable to take a "sliding" position within a thread, if something you learn does change your position - as long as you acknowledge the change.

How would you categorize somebody who has felt the same things that theists feel (to the extent that one human can "know" what another human feels) but doesn't ascribe those feelings to an external entity?
