What do you call someone that believes there most likely is a god, and he doesn't give a shite about us?


Gnostic Deist?

Not sure if there is a description for 'most likely'.

Agnostics believe it's possible there could be a god, but you could never interact with him. More or less correct?


More so that there could be a God but at this point it's "unknown". Basically, philosophical skepticism.

I float in the belief in existence of a higher power, but not much belief in the way that presence is delivered/portrayed/exploited via the modern day church. Apparently this pisses people off.

Agnostics believe there is a God but he has no input or effect on our daily lives.

As someone who is agnostic and has met quite a few others that are agnostic most that I've met don't believe that.

Sounds more like Deism.

Agnostics question whether there is a god or not, but aren't vocal or militant about their possible disbelief. They believe it's not possible to prove or disprove the existence of a higher being. They are neutral on the subject, I fall into this category.


I wish I could believe in some life after death but I can't. I believe we return to dust, and our consciousness ceases when we die. Bothers me, really...but that's my current standing.

I lean towards our brain creating an effect like on the movie Inception, where in the fleeting moments of our brain's life, it goes into a dreamlike mode where a near infinite amount of perceptual time will pass before the brain dies for you to be in an "afterlife"

It's quite simple for me, I'm just not sure what happens. I'd like to think there's something after but I struggle with having enough faith that there is something.

There is no 'you' in atheism. 'You' consist of only a sack of chemical reactions created by a series of incomprehensibly complex chemical reactions.

Pineal gland effect. You live an eternal afterlife that lasts only a few real seconds before you die, and you never know the difference. If you're lucky..

1- there is a God. The ONLY God. If you die without salvation that only he can bring through Jesus Christ who sacrificed himself on the cross to pay for your sins, then you will spend eternity in hell paying for your own sins.

2- All man has an innate desire, longing, and yearning for God. You've heard the saying that there are no atheists in foxholes. That saying burns atheists up until they are the ones in the foxhole.

3- Accept Jesus as your savior and you will feel that huge hole in your being filled with the only thing that can fill it: Salvation through Jesus' SACRIFICE and redemption (not to be confused with justification) from your sins. When we are saved and submit ourselves to God, we become a new creature (not a perfect one) from the inside out. It's a supernatural transformation.

Does Jesus cover other planets and beings we nay not know about, or does he have brothers and sisters saving other beings at an infinite rate?

For all we know, Jesus might be the equivalent for earth as the angry black chick working at the DMV

All I know is that he created all things and is Lord of all. So if aliens exist, then he is their sovereign as well.
