Yeah I'm with Moloth. I checked "no" because "antitheist" sounds like you're a jihadist for atheism bent on ridding the world of theists.

I do see a difference between being against theists and against theism though. One's a person, the other is an ideology, and I'm against the ideology and not the people that have been brainwashed against their will. That sounds more like antitheism.

well, i apologize.. those terms confuse me.

I just wanted to be clear about what i was "anti-" about. Smile

If there were a god or gods, i think it would be awesome of they were D&D deities. Heck, you could pray to them and get magical powers! you heal people, cure diseases, and even directly ASK your deity questions.. and get answers!

I'm not an antitheist, as many who've observed my recent behavior on these boards can vouch for.

People believe a lot of silly things. So what, beyond the pure asthetics of the matter? Religion's just the main forerunner in the plethora of silly beliefs that are held by people and can cause harm. And those are the criteria which make me attack. But religion qua religion? Meh - whatever. They're wrong, and I will debate those who hold wrong views just for shits and giggles. But do I go after religion in particular? No. I only "force" my views upon those who are wrong and can do serious damage with their wrongness. Nothing more.
