Firstly I realise that many of you have somewhat refined notions about what sort of person is a [insert type of person], so I ask more what is your "shot from the hip" response to the terms that will follow (or let's say what *would* have been your "shot from the hip" prior to the insight you may now have?)
1) atheist
2) agnostic
3) theist
mine would be 1) has lack of belief in gods, 2) has belief that the existence of some god is a 50-50 proposition either way, impossible to know, 3) has belief in a particular god, represented accurately by a particular holy book, all other holy books are false.
