Monotheism -------> Atheism
This has bugged me for quite some time: people seem to think there's a border between being worshipping a supreme diety of your choice (monotheism) and being an absolute atheist. In fact, there's a massive number of steps along the way, and I'd like to point out for the general public a few highlights.
Monotheism: God Exists, God is Great
Dystheism: God Exists, but kinda likes to fuck with people
Misotheism: God Exists, but it a complete fucking asshole.
Deism: God Exists, but has a very hands off approach. Things work themselves out.
Agnosticism: God may or may not exist, and nobody knows.
Atheism: God does not exist.
And thats just the highlight reel. I'm not going to say exactly where on that scale I fall personally, but most of my friends can probably figure it out.
