I am an Atheist and always have been.

I intended to bruise others directions at this late stage of the thread, enough that if their so intent on making big deals on some of the things they are writing about, they ought consider becoming more serious how they approach these philosophical to science issues and actually spend time on at least modest summary research.

My forum inputs as I've clearly related for years, are often speculative hypothesis given my considerable generous science background, such that I am not going to explain that perspective each time I post just for a few that never read earlier posts. Thus, may post taking whatever under measured consideration without a judgment of how much I might lean so unless stated. As a purposely rational logical person that made a career of troubleshooting complexities, that is part of my life and way of being. No entities have ever whispered into my ears though I do dream excessively. My existence since retiring has been to have fun and enjoy, especially complexities and wonders of our natural world.

and you still make no sense
 
I guess labels help some people. I am, me, myself and I. A happy old soul that enjoys a happy dance from time to time.
You do you and let me do me - while being happy for one another.
 
@Kir7 Granted a world with god does strongly resemble a world without a god, which may help you sort out the character of the god you say you don't believe in. But it almost sounds like you are not sure what you believe. I've been there, and it led me to a deeper search into myself. I do believe there is a reality I live in, and I can hold my own in that reality, God or no God.

Oddly, my closest friends where I have been living the last 15 years are fundamentalist Christian couple, while I'm confidentially an atheist. We accept each other as we are and don't even comment about it. These are not a set of rules that we had to adopt. It was something that we all did automatically from the start. That won't work with many theists, but ours is a very satisfying and fulfilling relationship.
 
I like to listen to Christian music for many hours each day. However, I never read the Bible and do not really believe in one God, Jesus, who can help so many people. Thus, I am a believer in Christian MUSIC but not in a "god" who can take care of billions of people. I believe "god" is in our minds and that is where He will always stay.

When I'm watching a movie where a character does something that results in a spiritual uplift for himself, I sometimes have a pleasant reaction. It depends on how well and subtle it's done. If it's a ham fisted preacher praising the mighty Father, it won't work for me. But if it cultivates a soothing fantasy, I can enjoy it as much as the excitement of a good Sci Fi film.
