Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

What is the term for someone who believes in a god (any one, really) but doesn't worship them?

"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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

What is the term for someone who believes in a god (any one, really) but doesn't worship them?

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What is the term for someone who believes in a god (any one, really) but doesn't worship them?

The best I can think of is "Non-practicing (enter belief of choice here)". Probably not what you are looking for though.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

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

Dude, you didn't hear this coffeemaker. At the end of every huff of boiling water, there was what sounded very much like a woman going, "nguh," or, well, you know what I mean, even if I'm not sure how to spell it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I was gonna say "deist" also.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I guess a polytheist might acknowledge that there are gods outside of his/her pantheon. I mean, just because I pray to Gaia does not necessarily mean that I don't believe in Badb. I'm just not inclined to worship her. But I honestly can't think of a single word that covers that, aside from "disinterested".

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What is Terry Pratchett said about witches/wizards and gods? That the witches & wizards acknowledge the existence of gods, but don't believe in them, because it would be like believing in a tree or a rock - they're just there (and it's no good to start paying them attention anyway, they might get a big head about it, troublesome creatures that they are)?
