I'm familiar with Kant's work, I just haven't read any yet. I'll try to get to it soon. I've read a fair bit of Hume.

For the record, I still consider myself an atheist. I'm also an absurdist (subtle but different from existentialist), firmly in the camp of Camus. The difference between you and I is that I'm not nearly as sure, nor comfortable with my conclusions. When I said I was a pantheist, it was very tongue in cheek, because it's obviously more or less synonymous with atheism; semantics.

I'm inching my way to absurdism, with the very little studying I've done I see very little difference between existentialism. Sorry about misunderstanding Pantheist comment.
I gotta go run some errands, have fun boys
