I am looking for a word (perhaps to describe myself)

"Believer in the concept of 'The Omnipotent' but Non-believer in the concept of Religion"

Thanks,

something along the lines of "spiritual" perhaps. I don't think thats what you're looking for, but it could help maybe.

err, not really. It may fit the former half, but not quite the latter.
Thanks anyways for your promptness

bit of a tricky one. i think you're wanting a word for a non-worshipping believer. How about deistical? You believe in a supernatural being but don't necessarily want to worship him.

I don't agree with Agnostic. If you are agnostic you are more less saying that "evidence of higher beeings cannot be verified nor denied" with all that follows that statement.

Deist comes by far the closest. Thanks.

Stoicism is the wisdom of madness and cynicism
the madness of wisdom." -- Bergen Evans

Just thought that quote should be posted on here sooner or later.

I wanted to put an emoticon on the end of that, but it figures that this board wouldn't allow substitution of a picture for words (or uh, symbols)
