I can't remember if was a post or e-mail, but one of the more
interesting  **-theisms I've seen is "apatheism".

An apatheist would be: one who couldn't cares less whether there is a
god or not, because its totally irrelevant to our existence here anyway.

An apatheist would just walk away from any discussion of any kind
**-theism as it would seem boring and irrelevant.

Actually, when you think about it, would the apatheist be the happiest
of all because his/her mind wouldn't be cluttered with any opinions on
the subject and he/she could spend his/her time more constructively.

I kind of like the term as it allows an additional attitude which seems
kind of laid back and humorous.  The apatheist can lay back in his
hammock enjoying a cold beer in the afternoon sun while the Christian
and atheist are engaged in a heated discussion.

Just some thoughts,


Steve
