Very true, the only thing I can know for sure is that I exist.
BTW usg543 depending on which school of thought of Hinduism or Buddhism you listen to, they will sometimes teach that everything is God and equally so.
There is an old Hindu saying although I can't remember where I heard it, "Perhaps men are the dreams of the Gods, or perhaps Gods are the dreams of men".
Some dont even believe in God, much of ancient Hindu philosophy is more logic based than anything, I have read that the reason all of the God's and fables exist now is so they could teach the average person their philosophy.
Buddhism is more or less the same way exept I feel it has been less polluted and has not been used for power as much as Hinduism has.

I would also consider myself an agnostic. Anyone who is straight atheist I really can't wrap my head around.

I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.

i'm an atheist also
Atheism is silly to me. It's not on the same level as believing in the deities of a religion but its not too far behind. It may be the complete reciprocal of religious faith yet atheists aren't so different from bible huggers. Both claim to know the way of the universe, yet neither of them can back it up... not really, anyway.
It isn't the most logical way of thinking imo considering the seemingly infinite universe we exist in and how little we really know. And we really can't prove the existence of higher power, BUT, we can't really disprove it either.
Do you not lean towards agnosticism even a little? Just straight up Atheist?
maybe i do lean towards agnosticism a bit..
perhaps there is a creator, the source
but
i've never claimed to know the ways of the universe 
you mean atheists in general, claim such things and can't back them up?
surely the actions/opinions of some atheist do not speak for the group as a whole, the same goes for bible huggers

I didnt say you yourself claimed to know the ways of the universe. I was just on about atheistic thought in general. Both christians & atheists, though at opposite ends of the spectrum seem to know what is, and what isn't so to speak, in this reality, and how it all works. Maybe its the more hardcore atheists / theists I'm talking about. The in your face trying to voice their beliefs every chance they get, so fucking sure of themselves. But I'm jus sayin'

not all atheists are assholes.
and even so there is nothing wrong with being on the opposite ends of the spectrum, doesn't make it any more right or any more wrong. if teachers let me get half credit for putting "i don't know" on tests, however, that would be awesome.
but don't ever compare me to some bible thumping christian on the other end of the spectrum, cause i don't force my beliefs on anyone and rarely bring up my (lack of) religion at all. i don't go out and try to convert people, or go on mission trips, or collect money so i can buy more pointless shit. i even had a baptist exgirlfriend tell me young kids and babies in africa or any third world non-christian countries who had never heard the word of god were going to hell. that's just heartless. but you and anyone else can believe whatever the hell they want. whatever makes you happy.
i just stay quiet and mind my own business. it's simply just not for me. i believe there are no absolutes in this world, but even so i'm atheist myself. it's actually a very broad term and can mean many different things.

there is one religion that doesn't have any redeeming aspects though. That religion is islam, it's a despicable practice, and its fucking disgusting.
beating your wife is okay in islam, even necessary if the woman is condescending.
