For no apparent reason, I have been in a crappy, brittle mood all day. Just free-floating aggression, not at all helped by the Giants and 49ers stinking up their respective fields.

I almost feel sorry for the door-to-door theists just just walked into my kill zone. I hit them with everything. Biblical contradictions, their arguments from authority, a challenge to listen to my religion's point of view (Hail Eris!)

Needless to say, they were not happy campers when I finally unclamped my metaphorical jaws from around their throats and let them run away.

Do not mess with the Angry Penguin!

Good on you.

But...

*I* am a Theist (or perhaps Deist, there is a difference buty I forget what it is). Basically, it's one step from agnostic. I'm fairly sure there's a High Power. Beyond thar, I won't commit to details.

So those folks weren't remotely Theists, as proselytizing is just a *wee* bit difficult for agnostics, theists & deists.

Well, unless you are the nutcase *militant* variety. :-)

Sorry. I tend to use the alt.atheism take on the term "theist" - i.e. anyone who believes in a deity/deities. Keeps us from having to liste very single religions in every post.

Your position sounds like Deism to me.

Ah. Hadn't come across that usage before.

Wasn't offended anyway, just a bit surprised.
