what up ya'll
just thought I would check you guys out, hopin for some good ol fashioned intellectual discussion!
I have my self labeled as an atheist...i am not one, I would prefer to keep my beliefs/lack of them anonymous for the time being...
I am a skeptic, of any religion or world view...frankly because it's important to be. (yes that includes atheism as well)
well that is all for now!
peace!

Personally I don't think someone can just declare themselves not to be what they, by definition, are but I have yet to see outright agreement as to exactly what an atheist is ... IMV it's someone who rejects current claims to deity which you apparently do as well.
Welcome to this happy place though.

I am not declaring myself anything for the time being, I never claimed to reject any sort of deity or embrace one. I would prefer to remain anonymous for the simple fact that if I declare myself an atheist/theist, What I say will be interpreted differently (consciously and subconsciously)
I hope I do not sound arrogant or anything...I just wish for the sake of arguing and discussing to remain anonymous when it comes to my personal world view :secret: :secret:

Welcome to the forum. You mentioned your belief in another thread though, didn't you? I think you said something along the lines of,
hey guys, just wondering if us atheists should believe in absolute morals ect or if morals are completely relative...
No matter what they are or aren't, welcome and have fun!
