I'm not an atheist so... What am I?

Question

I know that God and Satan exist, but I refuse to worship either one. I place my faith in the human race. I believe that it has grown more powerful than it can comprehend, and should stop living in fear of its creator. I can't stand watching us being manipulated, whether it's God or Satan doing the manipulating.

Am I a sinner because I do not woship God? Unless I am mistaken the commandment was "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me". So technically, not worshipping God isn't a sin.

Answer 1

Just a sinner.

Answer 2

You are almost certainly a humanist. Humanism is the belief that humans are capable of making their own way in this world without the help of the divine. It's not incompatible, however, with a belief in the divine, just that people should not resort to God to solve their problems. Christian humanists are those who feel that God and Satan both exist, but that humans themselves are free to move along a scale of morality between the two. It's been suggested that Justin Martyr (from whom the word martyr comes) had the origins of a humanistic christianity as early as the 2nd century. Christian humanism says that earthly life has meaning as long as it's done with the acceptance of God. More secular humanisms exist which deny God's existance in an atheistic way or simply deny his impact on reality.

Answer 3

First question I have is how do you 'know' they exist? I'm not an atheist either and don't believe in God and Satan ... they are figurative creatures created and manipulated by man. There are definitely good and evil, positive and negative, light and dark. You make your own heaven and hell when you judge yourself. After you die there is a law no one can cheat cause the law is to only grow and be more self-righteous. Your choices created your own prison. It's all BS and it's all truth. You must at sometime in your life hold on to something, cause the physical will only last so long till you can not touch it any longer.

Answer 4

That's a really poor view...how can humanity be more powerful than the Creator? Do you have the power to create a person, other than the ability the Creator gave you to procreate?

Besides, humanity is powerful, but stupid and ignorant. If we're so great and powerful, why can't we even stop things like extinction of wildlife. Why is there crime and poverty. Maybe you should think again about that one.
Place your faith in the human race and be disappointed: see ecclesiastes 8:9. I really think that you should ask yourself whether man really is as intelligent and powerful as you think.

One last thing...do you really think man controls the world alone. The answer is no. Satan does...read Rev 12:9. And right now he is controlling you to say such ridiculous things

Answer 5

There is no true neutrality if you believe. If you believe in God and Satan, then you believe his history as a fallen angel. If you buy that, then why not Christ?

If you believe in both but worship neither, then you are in Satan's camp and just where he wants you.

I don't live in fear of God, my faith has given great comfort during some pretty remarkably tough times. It works for me anyway.

Answer 6

Basically you sound more like a Gnostic. But God Himself says that even the demons believe & tremble! God does not manipulate,,,,He doesn't have to. There are only 2 points of view, you either serve God (Jesus Christ) or you serve satan..there is no "middle ground" even if you say you don't choose either, that very answer puts you in the "against God" catagory.

Answer 7

you don't have to worship Satan to fall prey to his manipulation- He really does not care if you worship him or not- just as long as you are not worshipping God, he has done his days work.
God on the other hand , does not use manipulation- He tells oyu the truth and allows you to choose whom you will serve.
You can choose to sit on the fence but just so you know- Satan owns the fence!

another note: putting your faith in the human race is just the same as worshipping or holding up the human race, flesh as a god- ANYTHING you put your faith in and put above the one true God in your life is idolotry and is sinful

Answer 8

You are putting your faith in people, people will always let you down. You are worshiping the creation instead of the Creator. This will lead you down the path to a reprobate mind, a mind that can not distinguish and discern good and evil, a mind that will lead you to hell. Repent of your words and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He will then give you the Spirit of Truth which will lead you into eternal life now and in Heaven. Don't wait or try to figure out things in your mind because the things of God are foolishness to those who are perishing.

Answer 9

Precisely. Just as having others Gods is no Sin, so long as they are not before God. I think you are someone who does what we were meant to do. Many fear or worry about the afterlife while they are still on Earth. We were given physical forms for a reason.

Answer 10

If you belief in God... It is enough for you to venture into understanding the religion that suits you.

Refusing to worship God is your choice and also a selfish one. Since you called Him the creator, I believe that you agree that He created earth, your family and you. That he has given you everything in this world that has made you what you are today. He has given you the mind and intelligence to take you further in life, provide yourself with income for a roof and food and family. Does he deserve your attention and praises for giving you what you have? Well, that's up to you.

As for "What am I?" After everything He has given you... and you still refuse... What does that make you?

Answer 11

Satan is a biblical fabrication of man to scare followers into obedience of man-made rules and regulations. You're on the right track. I only believe we were created by God...and that's it. Nobody knows what the divine plan is because God never gave his phone number to anybody.
