I am conducting an experiment and I need guinea Pigs - You!

All you need to do is post to this thread which of the following you think you are:

1. Theist - believes in the existence of God.
2. Agnostic - not sure whether God exists or not.
3. Atheist - believes that God does not exist.

No quibbling over the definitions; just vote.

I will reveal the (painless) experiment when I get enough volunteers!

[NB - this thread is also on the Spiritual thread board so if you voted there, please don't vote again]

Theist, but a non believer of organised religion.

Why have you posted this a second time? And why have you still insisted on using the same objectionable definition of "atheist"? Your experiment is flawed and will not produce any useful results. As long as you obstinantly persist in defining an atheist as someone who "believes that god does not exist", I will refuse to vote, either here or in the spirituality forum.

Using logical reasoning I came to the conclusion that it is impossible for me to know if god exists or not. So I guess that makes me an agnostic.

The ways of the Great Potato are strange and mysterious... I fear that I will never become a Spudmaster.

The way to spudmastership is starting at the head.
I am an idecisive agnostic, actually don't really care one way or
the other, doesn't seem to make much differance whether you
believe or not unless you are a buddhist in Provo.

Because most of the people voting were theists. I thought I would get a better cross section of society by moving the thread out of the spirituality forum.

Given that it is the same experiment, I cannot change the criteria (flawed though you think they are).
