Perhaps because I am not an atheist. I simply don't believe the bible is inerrant. And I don't think I will be punished for eternity for disagreeing with you.

I am glad you are not an atheist. Agnostic then?

Agnostic then?

I do not think the Bible is a historical document without error. I do not believe in an afterlife of winged angels floating on clouds. Nor do I believe that forcing one's thought into conformity with the assertions of the Bible writers is the ticket to heaven. All this mind control stuff is common to human totalitarians. It strikes me as unworthy of a God capable of creating the universe. If skepticism and curiosity are tickets to hell, then I'm on that train.So when you ask if I am an agnostic, I have to say there are plenty of things I believe, some things I actively disbelieve, and a universe of things I don't know.
