well, then, if the world requires a creator because of its complexity, then shouldn't God, who is assuredly a plethora of time more complicated than the Earth, require a creator as well.

WHO CREATED GODDDD.?!?!?
Man.

    There is no such thing as agnosticism, at least as a different stance of belief from atheism. To say that agnostics accept the possibility of a god, where an atheist does not is simply wrong. I don't think anyone would make that claim, but saying that agnosticism means accepting the impossibility for definitive proof either way, therefore making judgments on the likelihood of gods useless, is not logically sound.

   Making a leap from unprovable to untestable is completely unfounded. The question of labels comes down to the onus of evidence. To claim the existence of any particular god or system of metaphysics, you require empirical evidence and logical argument of its truth. The burden of proof is on whom ever makes the claim , and the evidence must be testable.

   The difference between strong and weak atheism, I believe, is also a false division. To say strong atheists believe positivly that there is no god, and weak atheists simply don't have a belief, is to say nothing of meaning. The only reasoning that could possibly hold is that weak atheists either haven't looked into the issue sufficiently to make a judgment, or believe that every claim to a gods existence has sufficient evidence to be just as likely as its non existence.

   The last apparent possibility to distinguish a strong atheist is one who claims to be sure there are no gods. This would be a wholly irrational claim, and doesn't deserve the dignity of an official label. 
I agree.

Reminds me of Dawkins.

If he doesn't exist then how did he put you through suffering?
His absence allowed her suffering. She's angry at Him for not existing. ::)

Strangely enough, though... I find myself wanting a God to exsist, for it would be comforting.... but comfort is not something I need, or want.
You want God to exist because it would be comforting, but you don't want comfort?

Typical emo contradiction. ::)

After much lurking, my stance is apathetic.

Anarchists don't go far enough.
Depends on how much you're willing to pay.

Christians have a reason to be moral, athiests only follow the law when they fear getting caught.

You might be confusing us with anarchists.
More like psychopaths.

You cannot keep a lid on the truth for long, so I suppose the flatness of the earth must be inevitably recognized at some point or another.

Newfag here.

The planets in Flat Earth Theory do not appear to be any different from those in Round Earth Theory. I'm basing this solely on the fact that the FAQ fails to directly address the issue.

So I'm probably wrong.

So the wall becomes a liquid?

Yes, a wall of liquid is going to stay upright.
Didn't make much sense to me either.
