Why I Could Never Be An Atheist
- Thread starter Revoltingest

They don't invite me either. They don't want me at their parties, and frankly, I don't blame them.
Hmmm... what could the reason be?

but the thread title leans to the notion....you are not? an atheist
I would never go to a party where I was the type of person invited.
Lack of funds, in my case.
I could be an atheist, or more likely agnostic, because they are reasonable and logical world views if you simply only consider the matter of fact objective verifiable evidence of the nature of our physical existence. Atheism requires a philosophical assumption of ontological naturalism, which I am not presently willing to take.
Buddhism is an alternative, but Buddhism still has cultural baggage of an ancient world view. The teachings and spiritual principles of Buddhism are more timeless than other Eastern religions, and I treasure them.
Ancient religions like Judaism, variations of Hinduism, Christianity and Islam are not viable choices for me at all, because they reflect an ancient tribal view of the world, anchored in cultural attachments, and their scripture is not relevant to the contemporary world. I treasure their scripture as the heritage of the spiritual evolution of humanity, and often read and study the scriptures.
At present, and everything is in pencil, I am a Baha'i, because of its more universal inclusive view in the context of the evolving spiritual evolution of humanity. It acknowledges that the fallible human perspective is limited, and our knowledge and understanding of the spiritual worlds and our physical existence evolves and changes over time, even within the Baha'i Faith. I believe in an unknowable apophatic God where the attributes of God are known through Revelation, and the attributes of God in the nature of our physical existence.
Mine is a simple and human reason for not attending their parties, i cant be bothered.
What cant i be? A man... Who would want to shave every day and walk about with meat and two veg impeding their sprightly step?

It's not about belief vs disbelief.
What matters is going to the parties, & getting the recognition.

Is it not enuf that I hate God too!?

I hate parties. They could invite me, but I wouldn't go, and not because I'm not an atheist. 
But I have tried being an atheist. It just didn't take. So...I stay LDS, which is, in a way, an ultimate form of atheism......if you stretch things hard enough and listen to particularly nasty anti folks.

Same here.
Not after that RF staff mixer involving you, the shaved weasel, the lampshade & the Mazola.
Took me hours to clean up after that!
