What if I considered myself a theist but did not follow any religion?
I would ask you why you were a theist.
Probably mostly because I was raised to believe in a deity, so it was hard for me to abandon my beliefs. While over the years I've come to the conclusion that organized religion is ridiculous, I've never seen much compelling evidence against the possibility of a deity/deities existing. I suppose I would more accurately be described as an agnostic.
In any case, hypothetically, I think that a deity would be very different than how most people see their God.
Sorry, I thought I would have something more thought-provoking to say but I'm drawing blanks.
You bringing up your childhood clears a lot of things up. I still have to remind myself that there is no evidence for god from time to time because it was programmed into me as a kid.
I don't really think you can identify just as agnostic. You're either a thiestic-agnostic (IE, I don't know whether god exists or not but I'm pretty sure he does because Pascal's wager [and even this is a bit of a stretch. belief isn't a choice, contrary to popular belief]) and atheistic-agnostism (me), that believes that there is no evidence for god, but we can't know for sure.
Well I think I should clarify that I don't believe in hell and I don't think that an omnipotent god would care whether or not their creations believed in them so therefore I live a completely secular lifestyle...but I don't know if that should classify me as an atheist.
It's simple. If you believe in a god/creator/entity that sparked existence, you're a theist. If you don't, you're an atheist.
Either way, I just want people to be able to backup their beliefs. You can be an advocate for child rape in my books if you can justify it efficiently.
I could not pick either with any certainty.

This STEM circlejerk is going to kill the demand for STEM majors in a decade or two, you know.
I think it's mostly an internet thing. Kind of like the fedora atheists.

I used to be a really into collecting figures when I was a kid but I don't think I've bought anything since middle school. Mostly just Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings, X-Men, and some other random figures. I think my mom got rid of all of them tho.

Really though, what are his notable fighting feats besides BTFOing Rhaegar at the Trident? He's a fantastic battle commander sure, but it's not really relevant considering this is a 1v1 fight.
not a whole lot, to my knowledge. all we really know is that he lost to barristan selmy in the jousting tournament at storm's end.
he was among the top fighters in the kingdoms at that time, but possibly not the best. i dont know how he compared to ned, who needed 6 homies to beat dayne, whent, and hightower at the tower of joy.
big bobby b is a good option for fighters from ASOIAF, but i think we can find one even better... perhaps oberyn?
Arthur Dayne is considered the best fighter in recent history of the story. I think he could take Aragorn.
He better have Dawn, then. Because apparently without Dawn, Arthur Dayne was just a good swordsman.
Everyone in the books says that he was the greatest fighter, but someone just said that with Dawn, he's even better.

Not at all accurate tbh
