Believe what you wish. I am an atheist. Period.

I am Deist and am a little confused about your conclusion. Agnostics are not atheists, they remain noncommittal or "unconvinced" if you will, about the existence of God. Atheists simply do not believe (they are NOT still questioning) in the existence of a higher power. Are you saying that there are not people who simply don't believe there's a God? Therein lies my confusion. If someone tells you they do not believe in any way in God, what do you then wish to call them? They are Atheists, plain and simple. You have a different view it seems, and I'd be interested in the specific reasons you do not believe there is such a thing as Atheists. If you have the time, please send me a message further explaining your position, I really am interested :). Deists do believe in a higher power, I'll call it "The Great Architect," but do not subscribe to organized religion of any kind. Within Deism there is room for some differences as well, some believe that God does intervene from time to time, most believe that this entity does not interfere or intervene in human's lives (one example).
Forgot to answer your question lol. I believe that The Great Architect is so beyond human understanding that I find the question of whether this entity can live or die a waste of time.

You need to check the dictionary. An atheist is simply one who lacks a belief in gods. An agnostic is one who claims the basis for reality is unknowable. Everyone either believes in gods (theist ) or they don't (atheist ). I think god belief is right up there with belief in fairies, genies, and other superstitions.
I hope you are just an atheist troll, but I am coming to the belief that many Christians are imbeciles as well. And that belief is strengthened every time someone like you states something so obviously stupid.

I think God "lives" forever and can never "die". God has been forever, otherwise how was God created? Therefore I believe God is more of a presence or energy, rather than something living. People just cannot grasp the concept of anything being infinite, we like things to end or have a solution. God is infinite.

Last I saw on here, religious folk got pretty darn upset when someone tried to tell them what they actually believed. I don't think you have any right to tell me or anyone else what we believe either. An agnostic is someone who claims to be uncertain as to the existence of any god; I am not uncertain in the least. I am quite convinced that there is no god and live my life accordingly.
As to god dying....if you are talking about the christian god, well, he already has once (Jesus, who is both God and God's son, according to the holy trinity doctrine), so why not again?

in my opinion, "God" is nothing more than an abstract idea to represent the algrebraic unknown as to unexplainable existance of the undefineable universe and the matter existing within this unending plane.
A guess a deist specifically gives an identity to this unknown; the agnostic sees flaws in the deist's point, and the atheist accepts that it is not explainable and opts to veer away from the abstract in search of what is definite. Because of the lack of finite evidence, the atheist accepts a rational, more concrete acceptance regarding the very meaning of existance.

I see your point to a point.
As an Atheist I am absolutely sure there is no god like the one christians/jews/muslims worship. I do not rule out other beings in other dimensions. I don't know for sure if they exist so in a way that makes me agnostic too.

Hmm...I personally, know beyond any shadow of doubt in my mind that there never has been, isn't and never will be an omnificent Deity that could fill the shoes of the perception people have of the term "God", therefore your "belief", to me, is wholly inaccurate. But, if someone needs a crutch, who am I to kick it from under them? Just so long as they don't go around insisting everyone should have one, just because they believe they need it to walk with.
But you know that, don't you.

The easy way out for Christians is to label everyone a believer of some sort. Of course thats just a load of BS....following in the thoughts of another is more of a sin than following your own intelligence....sheep would walk off a ledge if someone led them to it.

god is simply a word that instills fear and hate and its not an 'excuse' for atheists to keep sinning,'sin' goes right along with the whole 'god' thing,some people simply dont need to be scared into 'living through a god' or 'submit to a higher power' in hopes of reaching a fictitious 'heaven'

Since god has never existed he will neither live nor die. Atheist. Not an agnostic. Sorry.
