Reply #179: It has come to mean that today, but it is literally "without God"

[UdoKier]

Any atheist who claims to KNOW that there is no God is full of it. It is impossible to know such a thing. We only have a tiny glimpse of the universe from our perspective.

I dislike the term "agnostic" because it sounds uncommitted and weak. It leaves the impression that one may be still open to the "right" religion, or is just having doubts.

I am an atheist and will always be one. Life is too short to be spent in church.

There may or may not be a God, we just have chosen not to worship one of the ones that humans have invented (for all anyone on earth knows, some aliens out in space might have discovered the "real" God, and we've all got it wrong.)
