nontheist

a nontheist sees the g-d question as insoluble and irrelevant. nontheists approach the g-d question from an empirical position, which has so far shown them that it has been impossible to either prove, or disprove the existence of g-d. a nontheist considers the god hypothesis as dealing with matters that are unfalsifiable, therefore placing the question outside the realm of human knowledge. nontheists see the question of debating g-d’s existence as irrelevant as debating the existence of leprechauns, santa claus, the easter bunny, the invisible pink unicorn, invisible garage dragons, the flying spaghetti monster, etc.
theist: g-d exists.
nontheist: prove it.
theist: well, just look around you. g-d created everything you see. see? that proves g-d!
nontheist: i see…and how do you know that everything wasn’t created by an invisible purple gnome named wilbur who lives on the dark side of the moon, therefore proving wilbur?
theist: because fill-in-the-blank-holy-book says that g-d did it!
nontheist: just how do you know your book’s claims are reliable though?
theist: because my book is self-authenicating, it says right here that it was written by g-d.
nontheist: using a book that claims self authentication commits the logical fallacy of circular reasoning. extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. -ssertions that are unfalsifiable and immune from disproof aren’t worth much. how do you know your book wasn’t written by the invisible pink unicorn?
a person who does not believe in a theistic personal god.
all atheists are nontheists, but not all nontheists are atheists.
a person who does not follow or believe in the validity of any man-made explanation for why all things exist or how all things came to be. they may have theories, thoughts or opinions of their own, but acknowledge that there is no reason to fully believe in them.
to be a true nontheist, one must come to grips with the reality that this is probably the only life and existence they will ever know.
atheists need deities to argue against while nontheist rather not be bothered by either.
to a nontheist an example would be unnecessary and by making an example it would then be moot.
kinda like an atheist but not a d-ck about it. also doesn’t mention it in every conversation that ever did a thing. you aren’t the opposite of a theist, you’re just not a theist.
“yo do you believe in god?”
“nah, i’m a nontheist.”
the conversation thus ceases.

differs from an atheist in that an athiest’s belief is in not having beliefs.
differs from an ant-thiest in that there is no active reb-ttal of beliefs.
essentially someome that neither has an opinion on, nor thinks about religion at all.
my friend john is a nontheist. i have never heard him engage in any religious conversation and when asked he honestly replied he had never really thought about it.
nontheists believe in a g-d that is not depicted in human or any other form. “g-d cannot be bound by the limits of our religious inst-tutions” (author unknown).
nontheist belive in a g-d that is with out being a g-d that exist. g-d is in the details. as science becomes understood the more g-d is present
