If going by the bible, R ane Xish. No amount of justification can explain away killing. But Xish given angels acting as protititues and such. But nowadays, anything can fit under R rated.

God himself? Dont know. He doesnt exist.

Wait a minute! You "know" god doesn't exist?

I mean sure, it's easy to dismiss the man made gods of antiquity, but you know that a more universal god doesn't exist?

What do I call myself if I am an atheist to the gods of all the revealed religions but believe that there may be a Deist god?

I wasnt raised nor raised around god to where he is part of my reality insomuch to question its existence. Its like telling me I dont know if Ordin exists because thousands of people were and are influenced by the idea of the historical god for centuries. It takes a lot more than confirmed bias, syncronicity, and majority to convince me something exists thats not part of my reality to believe.

Its asking me to look outside and because 80% people see god, 15% wont say either way, the 5% is supposed to change their knowledge that god not exist to reflect the opinions of the other two parties.

Interesting nonetheless.

That makes you a deist... Deism's creed is pure, and sublimely simple. It believes in god, and there it rests.

If the deist didn't "rest" after proclaiming a belief in god, but then goes on to say that god reveals himself to man via prophets he has employed, but then goes on to say that that god is a personal god who cares for him/her, etc, then they've become a theist.

Atheists only disbelieve in theistic gods.

Deists can be atheists in a sense, after all, atheism only means 'to be without theism', just like amoral means 'to be without morals', or asymmetrical means 'to be without symmetry', or agnostic means 'to be without knowledge'.

A deist may believe in god, but he certainly doesn't believe in the theistic variety.

My two cents.
 
Thank you very much. I actually asked the same question with more information and received an answer that I think is right. What do I classify myself as?
I failed to say that I am equally o0en to there being no first cause. No god. So I guess agnostic atheist is best. Thank you for your time.

Can't rate what isn't there.

I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong. Not that you being wrong really matters ultimately.

I doubt god will punish you for not believing in him/her/it, why would he/she/it?

Only a silly theistic god, if such existed, would do such a silly thing.

You're welcome, no worries, as I said to Nowhere Man above, I doubt a god would punish someone for not believing in it.

Only anthropomorphized, man made, theistic gods do such silly things.

so if God is not G rated.....

should we even mention Him to the little kiddies?

(such is the kingdom of heaven?)

Prophet
God probably could have gotten away with an "R" rating if He had stopped at the Song of Solomon:

"Your stature is like that of the palm,
And your breasts like clusters of fruit.
I said, 'I will climb the palm tree;
I will take hold of its fruit.'"
--Song of Solomon 7:7-8 (NIV)

But then He had to go and write Ezekiel:

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." --Ezekiel 23:20 (NIV)

Then they really had no choice but to slap an NC-17 rating on it.
