TIL that Pezus is an Atheist. 

I would ask whether or not Pezus outright rejects the idea of the existence of any gods before declaring him atheist. I'm personally agnostic when it comes to the general idea but become atheist towards specific declarations.

So you're an agnostic atheist?

So you're an agnostic atheist?

I'll put it this way. I do not feel that we have nor will we ever have the knowledge that tells us for certain that a god does not exist. We cannot know for a complete certainty that something doesn't exist. Dragons may exist on another planet. Fairies may exist in an alternate dimension we haven't discovered yet. So we can never say they certainly don't exist. We can only say we know WHERE they don't exist. Dragons clearly do not live in Los Angeles, as an example. So I leave open the possibility that a god or gods exist but that we don't actually have knowledge of their existence and therefor should not be insisting that they do. Only speculate that they could. That is my agnosticism. Where I am atheist is when someone begins telling me that a particular god they believe in exists and begins describing to me the qualities of this being. As this being is specified and given ideological shape I very quickly reach a point where one has gone too far for me to simply accept that it may exist as I begin looking at all the reasons why such a being would certainly not based on both scientific and philosophical grounds. I am agnostic to the possible existence of gods or godlike beings. I am atheist to every human claim of a god that has been made so far.

SURPRISED?! Well I am not entirely against the idea of gods but I simply do not believe in anything. So agnostic would fit me better maybe.

Both dragons and fairies live in Iceland

We're not talking about dragons and fairies.

from Ohio?

[Raven]

from Ohio?

You're from the Carolinas. That's only marginally better than being from the Dakotas. You effectively live in one of the two states collectively referred to as America's second bumb.
