Atheist here. I don't wuss out with agnosticism. JK! 
That is one of the things I appreciate about my art, American Kenpo, is the lack of supernatural or mystical elements. I don't believe in God, what makes you think I am going to believe in mystical energy blasts or the guiding spirit of my Art's founder?

I used to believe that I was atheist. I never believed that I was agnostic. I now believe something entirely different.

See, while I respect your point of view.. I can't go that far. I'm a soft agnostic. I believe that God might be out there. I just don't know how, or in what form. I believe that trying to understand him/her/it is pointless. The Bible, Torah, Koran (sp?) never did anything for me because if you actually read any of them.. they have some bad messages. For example my name is Joshua.. but I would not want to be like the biblical Joshua... who killed pretty much everyone in his way to the promised land.
also, "The way, the truth and the life" never worked for me either.
I'll make my own way, my own truths and my own life... thanks.
I think that organized religion and evengelicals(sp) especially are the worst.
However, I think all faiths have something to offer. I just don't believe anyone walking this earth has it all right about God 100%.
and I sure as hell (pun intended) don't believe in a God that would let his children suffer in a pit of fire forever and ever.
I keep an open mind though. Who knows, someday I might change my mind
for now, I'll keep my feet on the ground and take from each belief system that which I find useful....

I am an atheist, my brain is not capable of accepting the idea of a God.

Hey that's cool, to each their own. For me, after reading and studying all the arguments, I realized that there is no real evidence that anything you might call a God exists. As a trained scientist, I couldn't make a special exception for my religious beliefs when I refused to accept propositions without evidence in every other aspect of my life. Of course, I really knew there wasn't any evidence when I still called myself a Christian, but eventually I realized I just didn't have that transcendent faith without some reason to believe.

I hope it's the ice cream man. That would be interesting.
