And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

I think agnosticism, in the sense that God=unknowable, might be the most understandable way to look at the world.
I used to claim to agnosticism, one more or less that basis. But as I went through a lot of soul-searching (so to speak, I guess) on that issue a few years back, I realized it was becoming less and less comfortable. Because while it might never be possible to *know* whether god exists, I *did* know on some level what I believed. And agnosticism started to feel like refusing to acknowledge or claim my own beliefs. I was raised in the church, and the church, and god, bring great meaning to many many people I love and respect. And so I'd always shied away from out-and-out atheism, but I got to a point where I couldn't do that anymore and feel true to myself.
*For me*, atheism is less about "there is no god" and more about "I do not believe in god." And maybe that distinction is part of the divide between the more evangelically-oriented atheists and the not-interested atheists. I have no need or desire to convince anyone of anything; I know what I do and do not believe, and I know that I didn't come to (or come to articulate) those beliefs lightly. That's

So I'm sitting here, browsing the Web (reading "Blogging the Bible," actually), and I keep hearing noises like someone on the other side of the wall is having rather meaningful sex, which is a bit odd.
Turns out it's the coffeemaker. Now that's disturbing.

And yet probably fits into my religious world view today as well as anything. Coffee = nigh-ultimate good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What is the term for someone who believes in a god (any one, really) but doesn't worship them?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know, I've never once thought my coffeemaker was people having sex.
Maybe I'm doing it listening wrong.

Emily, when was the last time you heard people having sex?

"Lapsed" would fit that description, but that's not what you're looking for. I wonder if there is a term for what I think you're describing. If there isn't, there should be.

I always used to think that's what agnostic meant, but lately it doesn't seem to be used that way.
