At this point, we all should learn German. I bet German words for situations like these actually exist, even if they are a mile long.

You have no idea...

German is quite easy language after all. He who is able to speak Latin and has familiarised himself on ending terms can easily learn the language.

To understand how easy it is let's have a test.

First buy a german book wich tells about the manners of hottentots
(auf Deutsch: Hottentotten).

The book also mentions kangaroos (Beutelratten), which are trapped and put into cages(Kotter), witch are covered with cloth (Lattengitter). These cloth-covered cages are called Lattengitterkotter in germany and when they have kangaroos inside they become (Lattengitterkotterbeutelratten).

Once the hottentots managed to capture a murderer(Attentater), who was prosecuted from murdering a mother(Mutter), of course she was hottentot (Hottentottermutter). The mother had a stupid and bit heavy kid(Stottertrottel). Thats why the germans call the mom (Hottentottenstottertrottelmutter) and his murderer as an (Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterattentater). Police caughts the murderer and locks him temporarily in a kangaroo cage (Beutelrattenlattengitterkotter), but oh no! - Prisoner escapes!

They start to search him immediately and in no time one warrior returns to the village yelling:
" I have captured the murderer (Attentater) "
- " Really ? - Who? " asks chief
- "Lattengitterkotterbeutelrattenattentater", answers the warrior.
- " the one who were kept in a clothed kangaroo cage? "
- "Yeah, he is the one " answers the hottentot "Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterattentater" ( murderer who killed hottentot mutter who had dumb and overweight kid)
- " But in that case you could have just said that the captured man was Hottentotterstottertrottelmutterlattengitterkotter
beutelrattenattentater!"

Why do you need a word for that particular belief? You believe that god is like an organism, allbeit a powerfull one. You chose to interact with god at that level, like he (I use he for simplicity's sake) is on the same level as a slug in terms of state of being, nothing more. You don't need a word for that, no more than I need a word to describe the fact that I don't worship slugs although I agknowledge their existence, and if you do, then make up a philosophy that sums it up and name it after yourself. --- VH16

@viva - as interesting as your comment is, we cannot respond without getting this thread locked....and I hope that you will follow suit out of good will. This is not a religious discussion - they aren't allowed on TLR. This thread is about made up words, and words that you never knew before. Leave the religion for IM. Hope that makes sense.

owww Arch, don't go on a tangent on the Boy... and besides if anyone has the copyright of the word "gay" then its me comprende?? anyway, WHY did you go off at him like that?? mummy forgot to feed you?? didn't get enough sleep?? or are you plain simple being an arse and a general cranky bastard.

good now thats out of the way, I seek a word... for a p-erson, that could be described as untrustworthy, generally backstabbing and will accept anything to achieve fame.

Britney-eque?
Blairian?

no shortage of material for that one, Loc.

My apoligies, gromit. I was merely trying to restate the initial viewpoint in terms of an analogy to a slug, I meant no disrespect to the belief itself. I'm just saying that by agknowledging god's existence but not worshiping it, it's like not worshiping slugs, and I feel it does not necesitate a separate term. I'm sorry if anyone was offended, I am well aware of the regulations regaurding religous discussions in these forums, and I am sorry for the offense. --- VH16

@Loc

Macchiavellian. Classic meaning includes thirst for power and skulduggery but it all fits in..

I think that the word you are looking for is agnostic.

"On this ship you are to refer to me as Idiot, not you Captain. I mean... you know what I mean."

Very convincing I must say. And two minutes apart at that.

Indy - Machiavelli is great, I loved studying him at Uni. "The Prince" is a fantastic read, but people take it too seriously. "The Prince"... now *that* would make a great topic!

CODE - I've been thinking, and perhaps "nihilism" is the word the you are looking for.
