Answer 1

Ahhhh, you are a golfer.

You believe in the golf gods. They rip out your heart, provide the air you breathe on the course, the water that the balls go into and make the sun shine all for great golf action.

Good work!!!!

Answer 2

You're a theist, a pantheist to be more exact.

Of course IF you're against monotheist, you're an antitheist, an antimonotheist to be more exact.



As for God is not written in books.

Of course not. However God sometimes sent messages to some, and some have written these messages as notes for future references, a sort of 'post-it' notes.



As for eternal misery or eternal happieness.

God always want to His servants to be happy.

Some of His servants like it in heaven, others like it in hell. It's not about making people misery, it's about putting things in the right place.

Answer 3

You are not an atheist. You are like me, a PANTHEIST.

The philosopher Spinoza is perhaps the best known pantheist in the world who created a very systematic philosophy presented in a Euclidean format of basic axioms, propositions and proofs. Spinoza himself, a Jew, was excommunicated by the Jewish community in Amsterdam, Netherlands for his heretical views. Most pantheists do not believe in prayer (waste of time) or in life-after-death (a minority do). Pantheistic ideas are very common among the philosophical types, and the artistic types. Yet, even some mainstream Theistic religions approach pantheism at the core like Upanishadic Hinduism. In one Upanishad it is written "I tell you truly that the Universe is indeed Brahman."

To the Pantheist, there is only a single soul, God, which is reflected in every living being (an idea often encountered in Native American faiths), and even in the non-living. To top it off, Gnostic Christianity taught a basically pantheistic form of Christianity. The Gnostic Gospel of Thomas has Jesus speaking "Split open a piece of wood, there I am. Lift up a rock, there I am."

An pantheism, unlike traditional theistic faiths has no problem with science or evolutionary theory. Evolution makes perfect sense to the pantheist.

Still pantheism, with no God specifically to pray to, no rituals, no rites, and no organized system of worship and little or no belief in an afterlife (at best agnostic about that..) is not the type of religious philosophy useful for controlling the masses as the more popular organized religions like Christianity or Islam are. They have the cult of Priestcraft or professional clergy who define God and interpret Holy Texts. Pantheists have none of this.

To the Pantheist the Word of God is written in the very fabric of the Natural World and the laws of God look more like E=MC^2 than "Thou shalt not commit adultery". It should not be confused with Deism, the religious philosophy of Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and Voltaire and possibly Abraham Lincoln.

Deists believe in a Supreme Being who is separate from Nature and created Nature and set the machinery of the Universe in motion. But, unlike theists they do not accept the revelations of prophets, or accept the religious authority of priests, nor believe in prayer, rituals. They may or may not believe in life hereafter (Paine and Voltaire did.)

Probably the big difference is: Deists separate God from Nature and from Mankind while the pantheist does not and like V in the film V for Vendetta can truly say "God is in the rain." Deism is rarely found these days as explaining the Universe in a totally materialistic fashion is still fashionable among some scientists and atheism is prefered.

Still Quantum Mechanics may have something to do with demolishing the Universe as a Machine or Mechanism hypothesis, and life as purely a chemical process. In other words, there's a MIND in the Machinery of the Universe which more and more resembles a computer than a clock, a Deus Ex Machina. And our little minds are but part of the Universal Mind and we have an affect on the Universe too.

And so the belief of millions that at the core All is One, may very well end up being proved by science as well as the ancient Hindu and Buddhist idea that the Physical Universe at the core is nothing but illusion anyway, an illusion created by MIND, the ONE MIND.

Answer 4

An athiest does not belive in any god. An athiest has no religion nor believes in any supreme being.

If you believe in any supreme being in any way then, by definition, you are not an athiest.

What are you - A person who lives their life in their own way and who is not submitting to the ever increasing pressure by bible thumping fanatics and hysterics who think they are making points by mouthing memorized passages from the bible to threaten, judge and condem those who do not conform to their way of thinking.

Put another way, you are a person who has the strength of mind and character to think for themselves. Nothing wrong with that. DO you really need to have a lable stuck to you. why do you ask "What am I". You are you. No need to go further

Answer 5

Those who share your belief are called pantheists.

Agnostic is INCORRECT because the word means "without knowledge" about god or eternal things. In other words, agnostics believe these things can't be known.

In YOUR case, you HAVE a belief about what YOU think god is, therefore, you are not agnostic.

Atheist is also incorrect because an atheist does not believe in the existence of any kind of god or higher power.

Answer 6

I'm not sure you are an agnostic as their position is that it is not possible to know whether God exists or not. You would be some sort of theist. A Deist? Pantheist? Taoist? Or maybe just your own unique belief in some sort of universal spirit?

Answer 7

Do you really care what category you're in? You obviously are not part of a group or denomination! There is no such thing as an atheist, all people have something or someone in the "god" place in their lives. So to "not believe" in a god is absurd. You may be a tweaked out agnostic!

Answer 8

You are a pagan. This is the most natural form of religion and does not rely on man made rules to control society like organised religion. It does not involve devil worship or ritual sacrifice as some Christians would have you believe.

Answer 9

I pretty much believe the same thing you do. So I really can't call myself an atheist but I don't believe in the god the Christians created. We're just free thinkers. Realists.

Answer 10

I am not sure but being that I am a Christian and know that there is a God who created us as well as the air we breathe, water and the sun and who will live in your heart if you ask him to come there, I am very sad for you that you do not know the wonderful love and peace that comes from Him. The only answer I have for you is "lost" and I will pray that God finds you and brings you home.
