Hmm before I just researched it, if asked I would have guessed Loki was a South American God of chaos... turns out I was quite wrong, though in Norse mythology he/she certainly seems to have a chaotic family.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

While I agree that most atheists are not extremists (in the same way that most theists are not extremists, then again using the term 'extremist' should give people a clue about that) I think the term atheist is in fact "a belief that there is no God"... Those who are agnostic would be the ones who "have no belief in God" (as well as no belief that there definately is no God) I think the problem is that many people who don't really know or care like myself, use the term atheist for themselves when strictly speaking they are more just agnostic or skeptic. Personally I would say I am agnostic, but generally think most religious practice is kind of pointless. (Well, I guess it makes some people happy, so in that way it's like a form of entertainment... then again it also makes some people bored or unhappy. I suppose you could compare it to a historical documentary, some people can enjoy watching it but if you don't enjoy it and are forced to watch anyway it's going to make you bored or unhappy) |
The "Neo-Atheist" movement is in fact a bunch of people who hate religion of all sorts. It is the sole point of the movement, to try and eliminate religion.
Agnosticism is different than Atheism in that while Atheists feel they have enough evidence to assert a belief that God doesn't exist, the agnostic doesn't believe this; instead the agnostic feels the question of existence is open to them - they admit they don't know the answer and don't have the evidence to begin to understand it - the agnostic feels that there is not enough evidence to answer the question of why the universe exists.
An atheist will come up with criticisms like "the spaghetti monster" that are theologically absurd. The agnostic can generally recognize as well as a theist of what is theologically absurd. I think many agnosticsts are open to deism much more than general religion - many agnostics feel an anthropomorphic God is unlikely, but are much more open to other interpretations.
As a Liberal Christian, I generally feel I have more to talk about with agnostics than the atheist or the conservative Christian. I am very much a subscriber to religious pluralism: Liberal Hinduism, Budhism, Islam, etc... Are different ways to interpret something essential the same as what I believe. They received the same message in different words, and with a different cultural matrix.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
