No, if fact I "owned" (it was actually someone else's) a black cat. Absolutely adored him!

How do you feel about agnostics?

**Graham** · 01-01-2015, 08:12 PM

What do you think in the process of playing god? As in new modified genetic creations. For example a spider was created that could create fine silk, among the strongest substances known to man. Or the come back of woolly mammoths.

No. The concept "evil" is something ill-defined for me (even though I use the term at times to describe people who lack conscience).

No. I also cannot prove that the Flying Spaghetti Monster does not exist (someone else said it also before in this thread)

I claim he (with specific reference to the Biblical god) does not exist.

He has not committed a bannable offence in my opinion and contributes a lot to the forum. In general, I'm not a big fan of bannings and only use it in well-deserved cases.

I respect them. Their worldview is not much different from mine. Even though I classify myself as an atheist, I still keep an open mind and am very open to correction. Therefore I actually possess a fair amount of agnostic thinking patterns.

I like the idea that we are (or will be) able to do that, and support such endeavours.

Are you spiritual, do you believe in the soul?

If not, how do you reconcile the fact that your spirit will not live on, and that after death only nothingness awaits? Do you find that 'fact' comforting? Have you ever felt existential despair?

Do you believe that as you lay dying you will still consider yourself an atheist? Do you try to force your views on others, and do you disparage those who aren't willing to take you at your word and adhere to the Atheist theology?

Yes. In America it is the other way round.

Cats are a big thing in Celtic mythology & Paganism, where it possibly comes from. You know Cat Sìth and all that. whether that be luck or not so lucky.
