Atheists. Do you actually understand the meaning of what you are claiming to be?

Question

i see alot of people on here claiming to be atheists when they clearly are not so  I think its important that we discuss the meanings of a few words.

If you just claim that you do not believe in the existence of a God or Gods you are an atheist.

If you do claim neither faith nor disbelief in a god or Gods because you feel that a Gods existence is impossible for a human to know you are an agnostic.

If you run around saying God does not exist and have a problem with religion and religious people you are an anti-theist,

I am personally agnostic.

If you get bored with church for a while and decide to break all the rules but never actually stop believing, you're not an atheist.  There seem to be loads of "former atheists" who are really just believers who went through a rebellious period.

Yes, I understand the meaning of what I claim to be.  I don't believe any gods exist.

Ok, if you want to slap labels on everyone.  I guess my mistrust of religious people makes me a anti-theist.  I believe that certain humans are more gullible than others.

Your being "personally agnostic" is what 
makes your need to post a list of definitions, very funny.

Personally I am a Gnostic theist, I know what atheism is and to me it is wrong, actually I know atheists are wrong.

Satan isn’t an atheist. There’s no such thing as an ‘agnostic’ demon.

Believing in God never saved ANYONE.

Seek Him... and you will find Him. Only knowing Him (personally and intimately) can save you.

And another 13 year old displays his ability to consult a dictionary, absolutely convinced that no one has ever done this before.  You're mistaken there, but nevertheless, everyone is proud of you and your newfound skill.  Keep it up, you're now on the path to greatness!
