I think I would describe myself as someone who is absolutely convinced there is a deity. Although, I think I would say those words meaning "I have been fully persuaded".

Hey, whatever fantasy you're into is your own bag. For me, I need strong evidence to start developing a belief in such a nebulous idea as a deity, and I am so amused when people tell me that it is a certainty.

Socialism and its variants, communism and fascism, are the political expressions of atheist and secular humanist worldviews. Your statement says a lot about your true beliefs.

You seem fairly certain that my beliefs are fantasy, when you really don't know anything about them. I think that's more consistent with an atheist than an agnostic. But, I think there are many atheists who call themselves agnostic because it sounds more intellectual.

Maybe we'll met up on a religion thread sometime, and we can hash it out. ;o)
