Viviane, So that person is not an atheist, they just have a poor vocabulary.
Exactly.
So often people complain about "not being understood," when the problem is they don't say what they actually mean.
A question for Athiests.

newhopeandhappiness,
I will say one thing for you, you sure have a divergent group of thoughts coming together on this thread!
Nice.
I saw two questions in your post.
Can I believe in an afterlife?
Why are we (humans) so quick to categorize each other?
Both good solid questions.
I am definitely a non believer in organized religion.
That is my only black and white for now.
I have a lot of questions about Gods existence.
I am not placing myself in a category as of yet, although I can see agnostic being a possibility.
I dont have a problem with Christians or Atheists unless they hit me to hard between the eyes.
I have had enough of that from the JWs.
I am looking for clear, kind, and reasonable.
I will keep looking.
In the meantime, why cant you contemplate other ways of life? That is my answer to your first question.
As for your second question, I think we label each other in an attempt to understand quickly where someone is coming from.
It can be very efficient (especially if life is short and there IS no after life LOL)
but it can also be shortchanging to people.
Labels should be used with caution.

NHAH: In my defence it could be plausible that i am just a f,cking idiot? LOL.
I wasn't meaning to imply that; I was just hoping to encourage you to be more thoughtful in your posting. If you want us to understand you and respond intelligently to your post, then you need to have a clearly articulated, understandable question.

If anyone claims to be angry at god they cannot be an Atheist.
I am angry at the people that either have used or still use the god construct to grab power and control others.

In Sweden the vocabulary is 20.000 words and i think the English vocabulary is 80,000 words.
Words are such an imperfect way to communicate, particularly on an international forum, that is open to all ages and levels of education.
I am grateful Simon doesn't ask for a certificate in English before we can partisipate. LOL.
