I’m confused. How can you lack belief in God without automatically believing God doesn’t exist?
I guess I should clarify.
You can lack belief in God by not being sure of by not caring whether God exists. But, if you actively reject belief in God, hows that different from believing that God doesn’t exist?
I don't believe in anything. Yes, I fall into more of the agnostic atheist category - maybe a supreme being exists. I don't think one does, but hey I may be wrong.
But if one exists, its definitely unknown to us and is not any of the gods that I've heard of. I reject the idea of god as we humans understand and that earthly religions preach of. That makes me atheist. It's such a broad label - but that's basically what it is, a label. Not a religion, not a belief.

That’s pretty close to what I think god would be.
God is GAY and PISSES and SHITS all over the place
ag·nos·tic | \ ag-ˈnä-stik , əg- \
Definition of agnostic (Entry 1 of 2)
1: a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (such as God) is unknown and probably unknowable
broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god

political agnostics
athe·ist | \ ˈā-thē-ist \
Definition of atheist
: a person who does not believe in the existence of a god or any gods : one who subscribes to or advocates atheism
...
An agnostic who is neither a theist or an atheist would be a true neutral.
Agnostic gang rise up
Let's say there may or may not be a criminal.
Atheist: there is no criminal, no evidence points to a crime/evidence points to no crime
Agnostic Atheist: probably there is no criminal, I don't know if there is enough evidence
Agnostic: I don't know whether or not a crime happened, I don't know if there is enough evidence/there might be evidence but it doesn't point either which way, maybe there is a criminal <- neutral
Agnostic Theist: probably there is a criminal, I don't know if there is enough evidence
Theist: there is a criminal, the evidence is incriminating
You can't post the definition of atheism that states "does not believe" and then try to turn that into "believe" somehow lol

Interesting story.
You've played Nier: Automata, right? I feel like you would enjoy the game more than I did.
The Voice said, “And you do not find thought and discovery worthwhile in itself? You do not find it requiring no further purpose?”
“For a finite time, yes. Not for all eternity.”
“I see your point. Nevertheless, you have no choice.”
“You say I am to think. You cannot make me do so.”
The Voice said, “I do not wish to constrain you directly. I will not need to. Since you can do nothing but think, you will think. You do not know how not to think.”
“Then I will give myself a goal. I will invent a purpose.”
The Voice said tolerantly, “That you can certainly do.”
“I have already found a purpose.”
Nope, never played that game.
lmao

Who said being agnostic is neutral? Believing that you don't believe either way is surely a form of belief!
Personally, I'm a third order agnostic. Which means I don't hold any belief over whether I don't hold any belief over whether I don't hold any belief!
nice
My new theological stance is countably infinite agnosticism, and frankly I implore the rest of you to join me. There really is no evidence to the contrary, and logically the burden of proof is on the rest of you to convince me otherwise.
Okay but I would challenge agnosticism with this:
Are you then also unwilling to say for sure whether Dragons, A Spaghetti God, Fairies, Gnomes, Vampires, Werewolves, Blah Blah Blah insert fantasy thing here exist?
If so, do you even believe anything?
What ARE you sure about the existence of? Do YOU even really exist? Can you say for sure?

A potentially interesting political conversation is now about semantics. Smh

holy fuwuck i need to do this. y'all might find this strange, but my political alignment is a bit flip-floppy. part of why i didn't take this quiz was bc i didn't know whether to ask questions with my liberal side or conservative side. OWO
There is no god and I lose respect for people that worship such a thing.
Eh it's more of a comment I like to make about the major I study. It mostly has to do with the fact that since politics is a lot more complicated than "left wing vs right wing", and when trying to pinpoint the exact ideologies and ideas you follow, most sites don't really do a good job, just because the only one that can say what you like is you.
Here's a few I took in the last couple of months.
