Agnosticism Discussion Options

[xblast196]

I'm agnostic in my beliefs about god and all that, but my friends seem less than convinced.

my christian friends try to convert me,
my athiest friends try to convince me further,
and my other agnostic friends are the same way.

quite frankly, we're stumped.


if you dont know what agnosticism is-

basically it says that we would believe in god if there was more proof. we arent denying there is a god, but simply put- there's more evidence basing all of the scientific theroies as opposed to the bible- so we tend to believe in science over god.

Steven Colbert describes Agnostics as Atheists with no balls, and I have to agree with him. I think many of you are still not understanding what the differences are. An Atheist is someone who knows that there is no God. Does this mean that if it's ever proven there is a God, we'd keep saying "No, I still dont believe it." Maybe some, but not all. I know I'd switch if it were ever proven, but Im still an Atheist.

An Agnostic is someone who cant say for sure if there is a God, but believes we didnt just happen by accident. Maybe it was Aliens, maybe it was God, they don't know yet, but they don't rely too much on Scientific explanation.

So grow some balls and stick with your convictions.

A lot of people don't know what irony is either. Funny, huh?

An Atheist is someone who knows that there is no God.

No. That's a far too narrow definition.
An atheist is merely someone who does not believe in god, or lacks a belief in any gods. An atheist does not necessarily have to assert that they know that there is no god.

An Agnostic is someone who cant say for sure if there is a God, but believes we didnt just happen by accident.

No. Absolutely not. Agnosticism is an epistemological position - it's a theory of knowledge. Essentially, all agnosticism posits is that the spiritual truths of the universe are outside of man's grasp. We can not know whether there is a god or not. Most agnostics are also atheists and do believe we happened "by accident."

Conciseness is nice. You're not smart.

Conciseness is an annoying habit when it requires a fuckhead like you to basically repeat exactly what I said except in a collegiate vocabularly which you more than likely got off some dictionary website you fucking hermit virgin loser douche. I couldnt care less what kind of vocab I use as long as I get my point across. I seriously hate people like you who feel the need to try and surpass others by pretending you're smart even though you basically just repeated what I said. Go slit your wrists, I'm sure all your dead scholarly heroes will all be in the afterlife and you can all have long discussions on the proper term for chronic masturbator. Seriously, I think you'd enjoy that.
