Wait, how can you be both atheist and a theist?

Now that I am more awake I can explain better. xD I dont believe in the gods, just the ways of Norse and Egyptian mythos, if that makes more sense? I know I'm kind of an enigma. But its hard being a thinker with about four days of no sleep. Lol

@Silentium, What I think Styxx is saying is that they don't belive that the gods are physical beings that cause stuff to happen, or entities, but they are representations of characters and stories that you can learn from. EX, you can learn about cause and effect with the story of the Wall of Asguard in Norse Mythology without going "Those gods are real beings that can and did do that".

@Styxx is that close?

This! Just this! Thank you Syn, that is exactly as I was trying to explain it. But explanations go out the window with insomnia

Good question! I've never searched because I always had a strong bond to the native american shamanic side. I don't know why but I feel comfortable with that. When I was born my parents wished I would be christian but they accept that I'm not. I was never a christian and I'll never be one.

I myself am Kemetic Orthodox. I worship the gods and goddesses of ancient egypt and believe that all deities that exist in human history are aspects of one entity: Netjer. I believe that in all faiths that aren't scientology (which has been proven to be a hoax scam in the court of law), there are many, many similarities within the morals that are taught, that there is an overarching desire for righteous behavior to benefit those around you and yourself.
