Originally posted by C Hess I know for a fact that cats exist. I also know for a fact that a lot of people own cats. I know next to nothing about twitehead though, so I call myself an agnostic unbeliever in this case.
People and cats are part of the creation. The creation demands a Creator just as a building demands a builder. 😏

I feel guilty entering a battle of wits with you sir, as you appear to be completely unarmed.

I only have a 22 rifle and have not felt a need to arm myself since I live in a peaceful military community just outside the front gate to Fort Gordon.

You've pitched a tent outside the front gate to Fort Gordon?
Originally posted by divegeester I honestly would not be surprised in Hinds was in some sort of security institution or a care home for the mentally challenged.
Originally posted by googlefudge Ah, you are an unbeliever, in that you lack a belief that there was a cat in the room.
But you are not a disbeliever, in that you do not positively believe that their wasn't a cat in the room.
You thus occupy the middle state where you don't positively believe the claim to be true, and
don't positively believe the claim to be false.
Interesting distinction. When you translate disbeliever and unbeliever into my own language (swedish) you get the same results, synonymous with doubter, non-believer and sceptic. That's fascinating. 🙂
Originally posted by sonhouse I think I can be called a NON theist. If there is a god, I don't give a crap. None of these man made so-called gods are worth giving the time of day to, just like car salesmen.
One thing obvious: If there is a god, it is surely a hands off, roll the dice, let the chips fall where they may kind of god.
I pretty much agree, that if I believed in deities, it would be in some form of deism.

I see your point, though.
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
