That's your way of doing things. Don't make a stupid bait post telling other people they're all worthless if they don't do the same.yeah it was a bait-post. I admit that.Still something I actually believe. And oh thanks for putting words in my mouth because I never said people are worthless if they don't believe the way I do.In fact I made it clear about 2-3 times that I don't care what you believe and I don't think God does either.BUT I'M THE BIG SCARY THEISTIC BOOGYMAN COMING TO TAKE YOUR FREEDOM AWAY, BETTER TREAT ME LIKE AN ENEMY BOOOOOOYou basically said life is worthless without god.

The two are pretty much divorced. You can't be an agnostic and not an atheist if you're also not a theist, because their exists a philosophical partition. I'm just pointing out the confusion, not throwing caution and decency to the wind.An atheist outright denies the existence of a god where as an agnostic acknowledges the possibility of there being one. How are they the same?

Either way, I'm still not an atheist.

Subjective meanings have the capacity to motivate and emote their holders, and since there is no sort of continued experience it doesn't matter that they might be forgotten. They still motivate the agent in such a span of time that it, as far as it matters, makes it permanent. Also, truth isn't predicated on some metaphysical conception of meaning. You could be correct in saying that subjective meaning is meaningless a priori, but that doesn't make the existence of a God any more likely.I'll bet you're one of those people that denies the existence of pansexuality and writes it off as bisexuality. Just because they're slightly different but still very similar, it doesn't mean they're the same thing.
