Technically no. Atheism is just a lack of belief in a god. If you really want to split hairs, I'm an agnostic deist. I admit that there could or could not be a god, but I personally reject the idea of god as described in Abrahamic religions in favor of one that does not interfere with humanity, merely observing.
In short, Atheism and Agnosticism can go hand in hand depending on how you define them.
There have been many much more worthy posters explain why a position like yours is more agnostic than atheist. (Then there are all the different types of atheists)
Yep, no use splitting hairs on this one, it's not like it will make you act much different in the end
Originally posted by JakeChessDepends on how accurate the trolling is for me.
I don't think that'll happen. And I'm alright with that. People will believe what they will, doesn't mean I'm going to get bent out of shape when they call me a heretic or something of that phylum.
Like getting called a "Libtard" is actually funny and heartening in a weird way
Originally posted by BigDoggProblemI think "living forever" and Immortality are different ideas.
Immortality seems like it could be a trap to me. What happens when you've done everything there is to do and seen everything there is to see and met everyone there is to meet, and are tired of it all, and just want to be done?
I would hate to live more than 2 or 3 hundred years in a physical-type body.
My conclusion is that "Eternity" is a different state of being than this physical one.

Originally posted by karoly aczelYeah, I see it as all semantics at the end of the day. I don't see organized religion as a good thing to begin with, I think spirituality is an individual affair and should be treated as such. If it works for you, more power to you, but it doesn't work for me.

Originally posted by karoly aczelI said nothing about a physical type body. Either way - as a spirit, or as flesh - I have reservations about existing forever.

Originally posted by BigDoggProblemI thought I had posted in this thread, so I read through it and found your post the most interesting. I know that makes no sense, but neither does, " I have reservations about existing forever".

So in answer I say, you haven't a clue about what "existing forever" means. And nobody does.
Having said that I have to say that's not true. Somebody indeed does.
