And yet another caper is put to rest, tell me, how do you do it Mr. Holmes?
So you're not Omni ready to check out at any given moment? Drat, I thought I had 'em.
Yeah, I'm a teetotaler, so I guess you could say I have no excuse.
I'm an agnostic atheist, so no. It's simply a personal choice.
They tend to be of that persuasion, yes. The ones that claim "THERE IS NO GOD!" and shit like that. Some of the most fantastically absurd and nauseating human beings to walk the Earth. The ones that jerk themselves raw to the fact that they're atheists every waking moment and make absolute claims of disbelief in God. That not only do they disbelieve in deities, but they claim definitively that they don't exist.
Whatever, therefore, our concept of an object may contain, we must always step outside it, in order to attribute to it existence. With objects of the senses, this takes place through their connection with any one of my perceptions, according to empirical laws; with objects of pure thought, however, there is no means of knowing their existence, because it would have to be known entirely a priori, while our consciousness of every kind of existence, whether immediately by perception, or by conclusions which connect something with perception, belongs entirely to the unity of experience, and any existence outside that field, though it cannot be declared to be absolutely impossible, is a presupposition that cannot be justified by anything.

You'll get no argument from me as I agree with essentially everything you've said. Also, I think what you've classified yourself as makes you more of an agnostic deist, rather than a theist, given you believe in a creator, however feel religions are human constructs. Other than that, you've essentially just regurgitated my exact thoughts and feelings on the matter, with the noted exception that I lean towards agnostic atheism by opinion.
