Apatheism (a portmanteau of atheism and apathy) I didn't know that this term existed until just now. I feel vindicated! I had no idea that there were enough people out there who felt the same as I do... so many folks that there's a word to describe us. Pretty cool. Thanks, Bill.

I can no longer claim that "There's no word for someone who doesn't believe in ghosts."

*grin* Call it the "Oh, Just Fuck It" club.

Maybe you can start a newsletter and spread the word about how much you don't care.

Wonder what turducken thinks ... or perhaps he's another MehFite.

Wow. Thanks. I might identify this way, if I cared. Neat.

Yeah, me too. I guess. Whatever.

I'm fairly militant about my apathy. I keep trying to explain this to people: No, really, I DON'T GIVE A GOOD GODDAMN, THAT'S MY PLATFORM.

I would be a happy apatheist if everyone would quit reminding me of theism.

Cool! Sign me up. Or not.

mischief - so you'd prefer the 'theist' dropped and be referred to as an 'apa'? Aren't they some kind of central-american tribe, or did I dream it?

No, I would prefer a figgy pudding with buttercream.
