Why I'm not an atheist

[Cow Poke]

Wouldn't that be agnostic?

I'm pretty sure I'm not an atheist. Not that I'm not sympathetic to the atheist worldview. I can certainly see why people choose that mindset.

Most atheists are not, by nature, mindset. The atheist paradigm would be freethought and therefore flexible and accounting for new information.

It depends who you listen to but anyone who is unconvinced about the existence of God (an agnostic claims that it is impossible to know anything about God and therefore cannot be convinced either way) could be considered atheist. Therefore, the theist is one who is convinced that God exists - not sitting on the fence.

Meh, I've met plenty of "atheists" who were obviously just mad at God because He didn't dance to their tune. Rather self-centered folks, they were.

I would agree with that to a point.

The overarching point being that atheists don't have enough information to be theists. They lack a key piece.

Wouldn't that make you a believer but not a follower? As Riddick says in Pitch Black, "I absolutely believe in God. And I absolutely hate the [redacted]."
